As you pass her walking down a New York City street, you can’t help but notice her impeccable aesthetics. Polished from head to toe, she exudes strength and confidence.

Based in Brooklyn, Helena is the style maven behind the blog Brooklyn Blonde where she shares her covetable style and beauty essentials. While many escape from the city during the summer months, there are plenty who see this concrete jungle as their ultimate summer destination.

Spotted recently at a rooftop party, Helena chose a colorful stack of Maya bracelets to complement a simple summer dress. “I’ve always been drawn to large stacks of colorful bracelets and bangles, particularly when the warm season kicked in,” says Helena.
