Aaaaand we’re back after a fabulous holiday weekend. My parents came into town (mom hasn’t been to NYC since 1994!), so we showed them a few of our favorite spots in the city and discovered a few new joints together. One of the highlights: finally checking out Ladurée on the Upper East Side. We went in for a box of macarons and came out with much more than expected.
As I’m sure you know, it’s not easy getting back on the grind after an extended weekend, but today’s outfit makes it slightly more bearable. I’m obsessed with this colorful bird print midi skirt from Chicwish. It’s a bit whimsy, slightly over the top and totally playful — what’s not to love? It’s the perfect piece to combat those post-vacay blues. Happy Tuesday my loves!

This week, I …
• Stocked up on a few summer accessories with two gauzy pom pom scarves, a striped pouch, a slouchy tank and an ultra-soft chambray shirt. Really not looking to tallying up my shopping budget for the month.
• Finally got around to hanging up these gold polka dot wall decals in our bedroom. Can’t wait to show you the final product!
• Rounded up a few of my favorites from the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale. I’m majorly lusting over this hot pink Rebecca Minkoff tote. Do I or don’t I?
• Bought myself the cutest bike helmet from C. Wonder on major sale as a motivator to start biking around the city. Stylish safety first!
• Cozied up in a neighborhood coffee shop and read #GIRLBOSS cover to cover. It was a such a good, funny and inspiring read — I highly recommend it! Next up: this book.
• Need to get myself a pair of drawing slouchy pants. They’re perfect for breezy summer nights. I’m loving them in black, stripes and lace!
• Am so excited it’s peony season! The boyfriend doesn’t share the same enthusiasm, but he bought me these anyway. 😉
• Hung up the second piece of artwork to grace our apartment walls. By the time I have this place fully decorated, it’ll probably be time to move out … Help please!
• Am so ready for summer to be here! Kicking things off with a Pinterest recipe binge — there’s plenty of inspiration on my cocktail recipes board.
• Rounded up a some sizzling sales going on this weekend. Happy shopping and happy Memorial Day weekend!

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to play dress up with vente-privee, the site that pretty much pioneered the online flash sale biz. They invited a few fabulous fashion bloggers to check out their NYC office, raid their racks and get their photos snapped. I mean … how could you say no to that?
They had pulled a few favorites from upcoming sales and I promise you, they will not disappoint! As for me, I immediately gravitated towards a stunning floral maxi by Yumi Kim (are you really that surprised?). It’s originally priced at $245, but will be on major sale for $117 on vente-privee from Saturday 5/24 to Tuesday 5/27. Mark your calendars people!
My favorite part, besides getting to know the crew behind VP, was hanging out with a few of my favorites: Lauren, Ashley, Lindsey and Staci. I loved seeing everyone working their magic in the dressing area and in front of the camera. But I did feel slightly for the photographer, who probably had no idea what he was getting himself into (one more shot! one more shot!).
I totally recommend you check out vente-privee, The Yumi Kim sale starts tomorrow and I promise you their other sales are nothing short of spectacular! Happy shopping friends!
