Fall Trenchcoats

Although I will hold out on making the transition as long as possible (especially with Summer still in full swing here in NYC), I have found myself perusing some of my favorite stores for some lighter transitional jackets. I've always loved trench ...

If you haven’t noticed, it’s SALE season! It’s sad because that means that summer is getting closer to being over, but this is one of the best times of the year to scoop up summer favorites and those pieces you’ve been holding out on for insa ...

Porcelain Print

There are a few prints that no matter where I see them, I just can’t resist. For some reason this blue & white porcelain print has always been a favorite. Put it on a dress, plates or décor .. it doesn’t matter, I’ll probably want to buy i ...

Southwest State Of Mind

I shared 9 things about me in a recent post and then realized that I had left one thing out that most people who have stumbled on my blog don't know about me – I actually played soccer in college (and my whole life for that matter). Truth be to ...

Keeping It Simple

Last month when I was in Chicago for a little visit, I had the pleasure of joining some of my other favorite bloggers for a dinner welcoming Kendra Scott to the Windy City. We were celebrating the launch of the Fall collection, Mystic Bazaar, (which ...

Feels Like Summer

While I love getting dressed up more than most, I find myself dressing extra casual on the weekends. I'll throw on a day dress here and there when I have to, but if I'm just hanging out I'll pull out an easy pair of cutoff shorts and a top. I have ...

Feeling Parisian

Despite some rain here and there, the weather has been pretty consistent here now that summer is in full swing. I always thought that the mid-80's were the perfect temperature – that is, until I moved to the city. The concrete jungle can make that ...

Repeat Offender

I admit when it comes to certain things, I'm a total creature of habit. If I'm in town I try to keep to the same Saturday morning routine for the most part and find myself with plans on the same nights during the week. When it comes to shopping it's ...

Summer Brights

As someone who is usually rather monochromatic in the Fall and Winter, summer is the time when I break out my boldest and brightest colors. I'm usually not afraid to mix and match and pair them together. There's something about the sunshine that just ...

Peplum Bow Top

When it comes to my style, it’s hard to not be influenced by the people I spend the most time with. I would see my friends 4-5 times a week for dinners, after work drinks, and just hanging out in our neighbhorhood or at one of our apartments. Outsi ...

Summer Maxi Dress

One of the best things about summertime is the ability to throw on a simple dress and walk out the door. Being on the shorter side, I have a love/hate relationship with maxi dresses. I usually get them tailored to wear with heels, but I love being a ...

New York Nights

One of the best things about this time of year is how long the days are – making for long, fun nights. It's the best feeling to get off of work and the sun still be out and the city your oyster. It makes me so much more likely to get out and meet u ...

There's something about an off-the-shoulder blouse that just makes me feel like the salsa girl emoticon. I picked up this skort in two colors from Zara a few years back, and even though I feel like the skort era is over, I still love to pull it out e ...

The Bucket Bag

If you've been shopping around at all this Spring, you've probably noticed that the bucket bag is back! I have clung tightly to one that I scooped up a few years back and have loved the shape and style, but it was time for a refresh. I love a pop of ...

The Perfect Pant

I’m not the type who is usually in the market for a polished pair of pants. You can find me in jeans most days and if I divert from my usual jean + blouse uniform for work, I’m probably throwing on a dress and occasionally a skirt. On a recent ...

The Little White Dress Twist

The little white dress is a Spring staple of mine that can be worn in so many ways. There are endless occasions perfect for a LWD – baby showers, bridal showers, special dinners and even date nights. It's kind of a blank canvas when it comes to sty ...

Tropical Nights with Neiman Marcus

Ever since I was little, I’ve had a weakness for dresses. My mom never had a tough time getting me into one – if anything, she had a hard time convincing me to wear anything else. One of the things I’ve always found so special about them is tha ...
