Patriotic Plaid

July 3, 2014

Just as I was about to head off to North Carolina for the holiday weekend yesterday, Mother Nature decided to play a cruel cruel joke on us. After a day of clear blue skies, a major thunderstorm rolled right before our flight, resulting in delays and eventually cancellation.

But fear not — we’re resilient travelers and are back at it this morning with a rescheduled flight with hopes of being lakeside by the late afternoon. I’ll be there for the rest of the weekend, wearing all things red, white and blue. I’m loving this navy crochet lace skirt (on sale now!) paired with a little patriotic plaid for a casual/chic holiday look. Happy Fourth of July weekend my loves!

En Blanc

June 30, 2014

It’s not every night you can dress up in all white, bring your own tablescape to the park and revel under the summer sky with a few thousand people. Suffice it to say, this past weekend was one for the books.

This past Saturday, I got together with my partner-in-crime Roxy and our respective loves for PopUp Dinner Brooklyn. The rules were simple: dress up in all white, bring your own food, drinks and table décor and let the magic unfold.

So … maybe it was easier said than done considering how much we had to transport from Manhattan to Brooklyn. After a morning of outfit, food and décor preparations, we ended up bringing a multi-course meal, homemade sangria assembled on site and a spectacular tablescape that included Roxy’s wedding china (would you expect anything less?). All that was missing was one of her signature bar carts — but hey, there’s always next year!

Once we settled in and sangria’ed up, the evening was ours for the making. We wined, we dined and we danced to a guest performance by Ben Folds. I couldn’t have created a better evening if I tried. It’s unexpected, awe-inspiring, over-the-top moments like this that make summer in the city truly spectacular.
