The Long & The Short of It

Striped Cropped Top & Cobalt Blue Maxi Skirt

It’s Thursday, which means we’re one step closer to the weekend team.  Tomorrow, I’m heading back to Arizona for a week and I can’t wait to bask in the 80°F weather.  Poolside in November?  I think yes.

Striped Cropped Top & Cobalt Blue Maxi Skirt

I’m not gonna lie though, this fall has been too good to be true and New York has actually been giving the West Coast a run for its money.  I thought I’d be loading up the layers by this time of the year, but I’ve been skating by on breezy maxi skirts and the occasional crop top.  The long and the short of it?  We’re on borrowed time and there are a lot of grumblings that this winter is going to be a rough one, but let’s worry about that when we get there.  Until then, you can find me dining al fresco and wearing as little layers as possible/socially acceptable.

Drop It Low (Pt. 2)

Red Drop Waist Dress

I’m a firm believer in the saying: when you know what you love, get it in every color.  As for me and drop waist dresses?  It was one of those love at first sight feelings.  I wore my first last week in navy and knew I would adore it just as much in red.  Spoiler alert: I was right.  Just add a cozy knit moto jacket and you basically have my uniform for the rest of the season.

Fresh Air

Little White Dress

The days of no white after Labor Day are long gone.  To me, all-white-everything is a year-round look and I think the little white dress is a breath of fresh air considering all the plaid, leather and dark colors that have been taking over our wardrobes lately.  I paired my LWD (on major sale!) with season-appropriate accessories like a pair of leopard heels and a simple black clutch.  But my favorite detail has to be this cute little beetle necklace … because when else could I ever use the words “cute” and “beetle” in the same sentence?
