Mixing prints is something you can always do on your own, but I love it even more when it all happens in one piece. Hope you had an excellent St. Paddy’s day. I’ve had a rough couple of weeks and can’t wait to head to a friend’s bachelorette party in D.C. this weekend (cherry blossom [...]

It’s hard to tell, but the dress has sequins all over so combined with a sparkly necklace it was a very shiny ensemble. I actually wore this outfit on my birthday a couple of months ago (just never posted until now), because I figured if I were ever going to get away with so much daytime [...]

Best/most unexpected score of the year – bright red pumps with plexiglass heels – paired with something I’ve been searching forever – a comfy, casual, striped dress that’s not overly nautical.

I don’t wear this top often, but it blends perfectly with black skirts. I love the texture of the stockings, but after I had worn them a few times a hole appeared. I didn’t feel like going out and buying new ones – and I didn’t feel like I should have to – so I [...]

Friday was another gorgeous day in San Francisco, so I made sure to text a friend in New York to let her know that I was wearing a sleeveless dress and bare legs. Still, San Francisco weather isn’t perfect, and as the day wore on I had to add layers. Yet even that worked in [...]
