weekend wear: memorial day.

It’s Memorial Day Weekend! It’s the start of summer and the beginning of many adventures to come. This weekend, the big brother and his wife are coming into town, so I’ll be playing hostess and...

an (almost) ode to black.

After overdosing on color from yesterday’s outfit, my best friend asked me to give an ode to black. I just about died laughing at the request. She lives in LA and wears mostly dark shades while I...

jam packed.

I usually like to plan an outfit around one piece — a statement necklace, a printed blouse or a pair of killer shoes — and build from there. Well today’s outfit was spontaneously jam-packed with a...

style formula: stripes + floral.

Today, I thought I’d share another one of my fail proof style formulas: stripes and florals. I’ve been wearing this combo a lot lately (last seen here and here) and as you know, when I find...

sharp + chic.

Even though this weekend went by way too fast, I figured I’d start off the work week right with a sharp and chic outfit. As hard as it is to pull myself out of bed on a Monday morning, getting...

perfect pair.

Looks like I’m on a bit of a roll when it comes to formulaic styles. Another one of my favorite combos: denim jacket, stripes and florals (last rocked here). If you’re looking to take a stab at...

four ways to wear: monochromatic looks.

It’s round two of my collaboration with Caitlin of A Little Dash of Darling, Amanda of Little Miss Fearless, and Lynzy of Sparkling Footsteps. This time, we’re showing you how to wear one color...

secret formula.

Yesterday, I wore what I’m sure will be my go-to style for the next few months of warm weather: a crisp button-up shirt, a brightly printed dress and a pair of chic wedges. So today, I’m showing...

pastel + paisley.

Buttoned up shirts tied over colorful dresses — it’s kind of my jam and you’re gonna be seeing a lot of this combo over the summer. It’s a quick and easy way to spice up a dress and quadruple your...

weekend wear: tribal touches.

tribal vibe.

Yesterday I went tough with my outfit, but today I’m going tribal. Starting with a bold printed skirt (surprise, surprise), I decided to embrace the vibe with a geometric necklace and bracelet. I...

tough tweed.

While swapping out my winter wardrobe for spring attire last month, I decided to hold onto my tweed skirts for just a little while longer. For the most part, it’s been lightweight skirts and flowy...

gift guide: mother’s day 2013.

Mother’s Day is this Sunday (hope you didn’t forget!). And while my mom and I won’t be together for the weekend, I’ll be sending love her way on the other side of the country! If you’re still on...

spring medley.

Having a case of the Mondays seems to only get worse in the spring. I spent most of the morning wistfully wishing it was the weekend again and I can’t wait to get back to exploring the city,...

black + bright.

Today’s outfit is what I called my “toned down” look. I started with black and brown basics, because they always makes for an easy foundation, but it just wouldn’t be me without a few pops of...

four ways to wear: neon + pastels.

The blogger collaboration is finally back! I’m SO thrilled to be teaming up with Amanda of Little Miss Fearless, Lynzy of Sparkling Footsteps and Caitlin of A Little Dash of Darling to show you...

april 2013 recap.

one / two / three Somewhere in between March’s freak snowstorm and April’s rainy days, spring magically sprung. Having never really experienced four full seasons (an Arizona spring lasts for about...

pretty prospects.

This weekend, Tracy and I ventured down to Prospect Park for a major change of scenery. And while Central Park makes for a quick escape from the urban life, this Brooklyn gem feels like a...

stripes on stripes.

I’m usually all about my mixed prints, but today, I decided to pile on a single print: stripes. The fundamentals are the same: make sure that the prints are similar in color (here, navy and white)...

make it work.

Remember when I told you that I have a J.Crew problem? Well, that addiction extends into J.Crew Factory and more recently, Crew Cuts. Spotted from across the outlet store, in the girls’ section,...

instatrip.

I can’t believe it’s already been a week since my trip to Louisiana. I’m already itching to go back to the bright lights, bustlin’ streets and amazing food (although I think I’ll pass on the...

head to toe.

Do you ever have those days where you get dressed, only to realize that you’re basically wearing one clothing store from head to toe? Well, today is one of those days. And while everyone knows that...

little birdie.

I’m still daydreaming about my recent trip to Louisiana, even though my body and my bank account are still paying for how much I ate, drank and shopped while down there. One of my favorite finds...

currently craving: neon.

You probably already know how much I love bright colors, but lately, I’ve been wanting to turn up the dial … a lot. I’m talking ultra bright neons, as a single pop of color or piled on each other....

bright in the bayou.

This past weekend, I reunited with some of my best friends down in Baton Rouge for a wedding. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect weekend complete with a beautiful ceremony and a bonafide...

go with the flow.

I’m heading down south for a wedding this weekend and I can’t help but get in the “Don’t bother me, I’m on vacation” mood already. I love this dress for it’s floral print and hi-lo hem, but also...

futuristic florals.

Floral prints might be the oldest trick in the spring trends book, so I prefer to pair my prints with unexpected details. I love the pops of neon and mesh paneling on this Prabal Gurung for Target...

tropical touch.

It’s barely even spring here in NYC and I’m already craving summer. I scooped up this floral blazer knowing that it would jazz up any outfit on the go, but the tropical details have got me dreaming...

monumental.

This past weekend, I took a quick trip down to DC where the weather was insanely gorgeous — I’m talking pops of neon, bare legs and open toes kind of gorgeous! As much as I love taking in all the...

easter egg.

To usher in the gorgeous weather from this Easter weekend, I took a page out my own book and paired a floral print skirt with an equally peppy print. It finally feels like spring on the East Coast...
