Neutral Territory - Day & Night

As I prepare for our fifth wedding anniversary trip to the desert I am finding myself stocking up on everything neutral, {shocking I know}. I recently picked up this blouse to wear during the day with some sandals and skinny denim. Come our celebratory evening I thought a dress was in order. I love the idea of something that is loose fitting but can have a belt added so you don't look like your wearing a potato sack. All my other outfits will be casual coverups and bathing suits. I cannot wait to get the sun on my skin. Spring is definitely being skipped this year in Boston!

Last day to shop the awesome Shopbop Friends & Family Sale. It's too good to resist with free shipping & 20% off almost everything! I picked up this little cover up for our upcoming Nantucket vacation and this top for Spring but I also have a cart filled with other favorites like the ones below.

What is on your wishlist???

1. This maxi cover up is insane in the membrane, would look fabulous over a navy swimsuit.

2. A neutral thong sandal that goes with everything but in a very chic snakeskin print. Love these too.

3. I am a bit of a scarf horder, especially one in an awesome bright pink pattern. This would beautiful draped over an all black ensemble for work or loosely worn around the neck with a tank on the weekend.

4. A long fringe necklace is perfect for layering or wearing solo over everything you own.

5. This dress in it's fun kalediscope print will work with sandals or pumps and even tights/blazer right into fall.

6. Brighten up your bag with this color block tote. I adore it's mini pouch that is included for nights out.

7. I love love love me some classic aviators but this new cat eye silhoutte is so fun and in a great color.

8. What is better paired with a cocktail then a fabulous cocktail ring. This three stone beauty is perfection.

9. A classic navy waist belt will look great over the little white dress.

10. A draped front spring blazer in a soft white can be thrown on over any dress or top during cooler nights.

Happy Shopping!

Shopbop Spring Shopping Event

I don't know about you but my wardrobe is in desperate need of some refreshing and when there is a good sale like this one it's hard to resist the urge to not buy a few new things despite the weather still being frigid here in Boston. A few items in my shopping bag are below but I will likely narrow it down to a single item so I don't have to eat ramen for the rest of the month.

What items are you craving in anticipation for the warmer weather???

Dying over Elizabeth & James embellished sweatshirt jacket, I would live in this all spring. The perfect neutral color adorned with gold studs that would go with everything in the closet. A dressed up Juicy Couture tee in navy lace will pair perfectly under blazers or stand alone with jeans. I have long been coveting these over-sized Ray-Ban Wayfarers, I might have to finally purchase. Layering necklaces is easy breezy thanks to this Alexis Bittar beauty. A comfortable Kors Michael Kors wedge that will make your legs look longer and be comfortable for walking around - yes please! Mixing stripes and patterns in one easy look with this Nanette Lepore stunner. Can easily be dressed up with a blazer and sandals or down with flip flops.

Weekend Wear - His & Hers

Whatever your plans may be over the weekend this foolproof look will get you through it comfortably and looking put together head to toe. I love how blazers always give an instant polished look to any ensemble! I combined this subtle printed blazer with simple accessories, a practical yet stylish walking boot paired with stretch denim and the worlds softest t will keep you happy whether your brunching, shopping or running around town. I also added a little outfit inspiration for the fellas! Now if I could just get my husband to actually layer sweaters and shirts we could replicate that handsome look below.

Hope you all are having a fabulous {hopefully long} weekend!

Make A Statement - With Your Ears

When it comes to accessorizing I must admit I favor the statement necklace or a large cocktail ring over earrings. I all too often forget to remove the diamond studs that were gifted to me from my dad and have been wearing since I was sixteen. I also find when I do go for earrings it's usually only in the warmer months where a large chunky necklace feels oh so suffocating. I think summer attire is also all a bit more revealing around the decolletage area allowing a larger earring to be noticed. However I may break all by styling habits after my sister gave me a gorgeous pair of colored drop earrings this Christmas...however one rule I can never break is a statement earring/necklace combination - it's all too, too much for my taste, I prefer to pick one bold statement piece and minimize the rest so you don't look like your wearing your entire jewelry box. What do you think of these styles, would you wear this look???

wild wild west

Yesterday as I was walking out the door, my husband said my outfit looked a bit "cowgirl" which inspired me to dabble into a little fashion fix featuring a western style flair. This concept had me flashback to a family vacation back in the early 90's wheere we flew to Tuscon, Arizona to visit ASU for a possible college for my sister. My father decided to combine the school visit into a family vacation for me and my siblings. I remember being overly excited about the vacation because my we convinced our dad to rent a Lebaron convertible and seriously what was cooler then that??? In summary, the convertible was everything I had imagined {I am pretty sure there are numerous photos of me pretend driving buried in our family photo albums} the ranch where we stayed was beautifully landscaped with tons of cacti, horses were everywhere for riding and if my memory serves me correctly there was an indoor and outdoor pool, a win win sitch for ever ten year old. However the one thing I was not down with was the hiking of the desert mountains. I am pretty sure at the ripe old age of ten that I knew this wasn't my thing. I had a full meltdown, complained the whole way up and the whole way down, making my father want to send me on a flight back to NY to my mom who was enjoying her peace and quiet. If I had the chance to go back to do a ranch vacation all over. I think my attire would be similar to the below and instead of hiking sandy hills in the scorching heat I would thoroughly enjoy some spa time, horse back riding and drinking wine by an outdoor fire.

Bring some Western elements into your home with these fab finds inspired by the landscapes of the desserts. I adore the modern succulent tray featuring the miniature cacti. Jonathan Adler wins over my heart once more with his horn sculpture. An incredibly affordable cowhide rug is perfect for layering over larger solid jute rugs. Rope doesn't always have to be interpreted in a nautical sense, the mirror below reminded me of a cowboy laso which I think would work incredibly well in a south western style home. The gaucho print pillow boasts a modern flair on a vintage print and finally a great chair with lots of texture, nail heads and the colors of a sunset is the finishing touch to a beautiful wild west inspired interior.

color crush - minty fresh

Is anyone else totally obsessed with the color craze that is happening in everything from wardrobe to home interiors??? Since I am a fully confessed chromophobe ( I totes had to look that word up) it really is forcing me to be more daring with my wardrobe and shop for items that add some interest into each ensemble. While I do love color, I often don't wear it. This refreshing and warm version of green may just change that. I am seriously swooning over how feminine and soft this pale green looks with so many other colors. It is screaming Spring & happier longer days. I think this minty color is perfectly paired with other neutrals such as navy's, beige's and whites. How would you wear this fab color? Part two will feature some beautiful images of this color splashed in almost every room of a home!

if all bad outfits could be forgot...part 3

Sparkle and shine this new years in the beauty below. I seriously love anything sparkly all year long but the dress below really is beyond gorgeous. I would wear it with a fab faux fur jacket, suede pumps, and simple crystal jewels. A smokey eye and nude lip for make up will be sexy and perfect for that midnight kiss!
