I’ve been slacking on the posting lately because last Monday I headed out for a whirlwind tour of the West! I flew to LA to visit my mom for a few days, then spent a day in Long Beach with my friends before heading to San Diego for one of my best friend’s wedding. Now I’m currently in New Mexico for a few days with my sorority sister Kara and her 3 girls, heading home on a red eye Wednesday night. Whew!
I’m having a great time though, the wedding was just beautiful and then my first night in New Mexico Kara’s oldest daughter, Allie, and I made cocktails and mocktails – I call her my mini cray-cray : )
The Saturday before I headed out on my trip we celebrated my friend Mario’s birthday at a fun place in Manhattan called Barcade. I wore a new top I picked up recently at Nordie’s that I am obsessed with – the fringe just makes it so fun! For its first outing I paired with white jeans and black cage sandals – it doesn’t need a whole lot more! I took an 8 in this top.

Warby Parker has asked me to let you know about an exciting new collection they have rolled out, available beginning today! I’m not being compensated in anyway for this post, I wanted to do it because my husband is such a Warby Parker fan! I think he has about 5 pairs of sunglasses and regular glasses from them now.
Not only are the glasses affordable, many less than $100 including prescription lenses with anti-reflective coating, the quality and style are fantastic. And to top it all off, for every pair of glasses that are purchased, a pair is donated to someone in need. I am in the market for some new glasses myself, and plan to head over to their Soho store to pick up a pair soon. For those who aren’t by a store, Warby Parker will send you 5 pairs of frames at a time to try on at home, then you can pick what you like and order with your prescription. So easy!
Their new Beacon Collection is “inspired by impromptu, can’t-duplicate-them all-nighters, when having no plans brings endless possibilities” and are designed “to make a similarly fine companion to late night dates, rooftop sunrises, and everything in between.”
Hope you will pop over and check out their stylish new collection!

Almost to the weekend, yay!
Put this outfit together to run errands and meet Michael for dinner. I used to be scared to pair black with yellow to avoid the “bumble bee” effect, but I really like the combo now when done right – I think adding a print helps make it work.
Don’t forget the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is open to all today – check out my picks!

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend! We had a fabulous time in Nantucket – what a beautiful place!
I was lucky enough to have the fun continue this week with my friend Kelli visiting from Florida! We went to the Michael Buble concert at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night – so amazing – and then headed out yesterday to do a little shopping and hit a few happy hours.
I wore my new orange hi-lo dress, just added a belt and wedges – Kelli and I were a colorful bunch : )
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
This past Thursday we hosted my first NYC birthday party which was a ton of fun. We had it on an outdoor patio in midtown Manhattan and a bunch of my awesome sorority sisters and friends showed up. I can’t believe I turn 32 this Wednesday!
I wore this dress that my bloggy friend, Karissa, recommended, and I just love it! Thanks Karissa! I plan on wearing it to a friend’s San Diego wedding in July as well. The tropical print is so pretty and I think it looks better in person than it does on the model. This boutique has a ton of cute stuff, check them out! Try the code SUMMER30 for 30% off your purchase.
I’m headed to Nantucket with some friends tomorrow for the 4th of July weekend. Hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday and I will see you next week!

This past weekend we escaped about an hour and a half outside the city to visit some wineries in the Hudson River Valley area. We hopped in the car with my in-laws and spent the day tasting at a few different places and then enjoyed an absolutely incredible summer solstice dinner at the Millbrook Winery. It involved lots of lobster, butter, and a table right in the vineyards ,with beautiful weather to top it all off!
For the day of tasting I wore white jeans with a striped top and added a coral necklace for a pop of color. The quality on this shirt is great, the material is very sturdy. Not online anymore but might be in stores.
Jeans – American Eagle, Top – Old Navy (similar)
For dinner I changed into a new navy maxi dress and I just love it! The perfect dress for a summer night, and even 4th of July!
Dress – Loft
Our beautiful setting
Hope everyone had a great weekend, thanks for stopping by!

There’s nothing like an easy dress to throw on when it’s hot outside. No one needs a tight waistband when they are sweating in the subway station, or in the car before the AC kicks in, right? Here are some great choices that won’t break the bank, so you can get more than one of course : )
Loft is having 40% off right now, so don’t wait
Graphic Print Crossover Dress – I took an XS in this
Striped Pleated Skirt Dress – I ended up with a 4 Petite in this, and I’m 5’5. You might want to try a Petite unless you are tall or have a long torso.
Cutout Back Maxi Dress – Love that you can wear a regular bra with this while showing just a little skin. I took a small.
Old Navy is also having a great sale on all of their dresses right now
Orange is having a moment right now and this dress is so cute! It actually has a decent amount of shape if you have curves, but I added a skinny belt to add some waist definition. I took a small.
I didn’t get to try this one on but I love the floral print on this sundress.
A little white dress is a summer must have.
And I think we need to throw a few rompers in because they are just as cute and easy as a dress
Love this one in chambray, but size down per reviews
This cotton one is easy to throw on with wedges or even as a swim cover-up. I took a small.
Happy Friday, have a great weekend!

Hope everyone had a great Father’s Day weekend. We spent ours enjoying a beautiful day by the pool at my in-laws home, and I also got to have my cousin, her boyfriend, and their adorable baby in town to stay with us for a bit.
I wore this outfit to run errands last week – easy to run around in. I love how the pastel tank adds a little femininity to the camo. And you can get these pieces today for 40% off!
