Guys, I’m so torn. I’m not ready for summer to be over, but I’m actually excited to trade in my brights ensembles for something a little simpler (go ahead and rub this in my face in six months).  I mean, they don’t call neutrals a classic for no reason — they look and feel effortless and timelessly sophisticated.  So while I’m stuck in between seasons, I’ll be sticking with lighter layers, but reaching for more subtle shades.

I don’t usually whip out the credit card until a sale’s on sale, but with markdowns of up to 70% off, ModCloth’s Last Hurrah Sale is too good to pass up.  And this ain’t yo average end of season sale either.  There are plenty of pretty pieces that will work now and well into the fall.  Check out some of my favorite dresses from the sale and when the weather cools down, just throw on a cardigan or slip on some tights — these babies are the gifts that will keep on giving!

post-vacay blues.

Last week, I went off the grid during my trip back home to the west coast — no posts, no Instagrams, and only a handful of random tweets (to celebrate my first bite of In ‘n Out in almost a year, obvi).  The radio silence made me slightly uneasy, but I was in desperate need for a little unplugging.  Now I’m back in NYC and suffering a major case of post-vacay blues.  The cure?  One chic outfit and one rad giveaway, of course!
