Transition #4: Lace Dress in Fall

Well, officially COLD in NY which makes this end to my mini-series on transition pieces very aptly timed! I love a little lace, since I dress on the urban side, a little lace adds femininity and sexiness and for Summer it’s a natural choice. But I have to say I LOVE lace during the colder months too–lace brings a dreamy unexpected texture to fall outfits that I really really dig. So here are some ways to rock a lace dress… View Post

Transition #3 Culottes in Fall

We’re well into the Fall weather in NY and nearly done with my mini little transition series. I know culottes are not for everyone but I happen to love a good culotte and think that worn right they’re a super versatile item. Culottes were a big trend for the Fall 2015 runway shows but I actually think they’re not really a trend item. Culottes can look super classic while being a little fashion forward and they can be breezy in the… View Post

Transition #2: Shirt Dress Outfits for Fall

The shirt dress is probably my most favorite item of clothing–bold statement, I know (!)– but I’ve been dying to share shirt dress outfits for Fall! A shirt dress is just such a great piece for all seasons! In Summer it’s breezy without being super casual or exposing and I think a great shirt dress can be dressed up or down and is modern, subtle kind of sexy and totally classic. Now(!) here’s how to layer a shirt dress to carry you into… View Post

Transition # 1: Socks and Sandals

Wah! I can feel the season changing! The evenings are getting dark and there’s definitely a chill right now in NY. To make the transition easier I’ve gathered 4 different items that you can take from summer into fall–Transition #1 Socks and Sandals. I know that this style is not everyone’s cup of tea. An easier transition is stockings and sandals, BUT I happen to LOVE a good socks and sandals situation and because I’m naturally adverse to pants I… View Post

Ankle Boot Outfits-Casual For a casual look you can pair a… View Post

What I Wore / Get the Look-Oh Hello Fall

Hi Fall and HIIIIIEEEEE ya’ll!!! I’m so so happy to be back :). If you remember this year was kind of a benchmark of a year for me and with work being crazy I decided I needed to take some time off. Hope you had a beautiful summer and are excited for Fall! I really really love the Summer into Fall transition– it allows me to still wear shorts (all-time favorite bottom) and break out some cozier items like this sweater.… View Post

Stay Healthy

Since I’ve been traveling and in the midst of purging and moving to the new place I’ve been deathly afraid of getting sick! Colds and flus are running rampant around me and I have no time to get sick and laid up in bed, so I’ve been more cautious than ever in keeping myself healthy and so far so good!! Let me just preface this post with I am clearly not a doctor, I’ve been practicing the below and have… View Post

What I Wore-Gnomish Tall Beanie

I had put tall beanies on the list of items I didn’t think would look good on me. But I picked this one up on my latest trip to Iceland and I j’adore it! The tall beanie had a little handwritten tag with the name of the knitter, which makes it even better. Tall beanies totally=gnomish, and I dig that! (card available here) Under this jacket I’m wearing my favorite purchase of the summer you’ve never seen! It’s this great… View Post

I’m definitely at that age where your friends are getting married and having awesomely fun wonderful beautiful weddings! Seeing two people promise to be there for each other for the rest of their lives is something that always touches me…I am so a crier at weddings! But I’m not a girl who likes to buy a one occasion dress. I like wedding guest dresses… View Post

What I Wore-Farewell Flower Pants

(bag-matt + nat; jacket-olllllld; denim shirt & sandals-thrifted via buffalo exchange; pants-thrifted via goodwill; rings-gifted & nissa ring) I took these outfit pictures a little bit ago while the weather still had that sunshiny warmness mixed with the crispness of fall, yeah that’s over. Fall has morphed into the chillier side and I have to stow my flower pants (aka blanche pants) away. While I LOVE these pants they’re nearly translucent and so the material is just very very thin.… View Post

Where the Goodwill Goes Tour

Friends, I was incredibly lucky to be invited on a tour to the Goodwill NY/NJ headquarters in Astoria last week and it was profound! This tour truly made me love Goodwill even MORE! I learned so many things about the amazing work of Goodwill and what WE do to help their very worthy mission. Lesson 1-Nothing Goes to Waste! DONATE! DONATE! DONATE! I was really under the impression that there are certain things that should NOT be donated. I would… View Post
