Outfit Planning: Beach Bound

It’s quite likely that as you’re reading this post, I’m soaking up the sun somewhere on the beaches of St. Martin … probably in a neon swimsuit, a large floppy hat and oversized sunnies.  Just your average Friday, right?  Well whether your plans involve the beach, the pool or a picnic blanket in the park (aka NYC’s version of laying out), I rounded up a few of my favorite swimsuits and coverups.  Hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Shopping Budget: April 2014

May 1, 2014

Summer Must Haves

I’ve never been more ready for summer and I think last month’s purchases would agree.  Instead of stocking up spring layers, I spent most of my shopping budget already in vacation mode.  Mirrored aviators, a floral print romper, and a few new dresses to add to the summer mix.  I went a little over budget this month, but the thought of vacay days, warm temps and sunshine had me a little trigger-happy.  Happy May!

PURCHASES
Seahorse Print Tie Wast Dress: $24.75 (orig. $49.50)
Floral Print Romper: $34.75 (orig. $69.50)

Outfit Planning: Derby Style

April 29, 2014

Kentucky Derby Outfitdress | hat | bag | necklace | wedges

Derby season is here!  Last year, I went to the Belmont Stakes (one of the three Triple Crown races) and I couldn’t help but fall in love with the derby culture.  It’s not so much about the horse racing as it is about getting gussied up in a feminine dress and an over the top hat and making an entire day out of a two-minute race.  It’s equal parts pageantry and shenanigans.  So whether you’re going to the Derby this season or are looking for the perfect spring outfit, I’ve got a few fabulous looks for you!
