Guys, I am so excited for Memorial Day weekend this year as I am heading South to New Orleans! I have never been and have so loved getting excited through everyone’s tweets of Musts, etc. If you have any recommendations, please do share in Comments so I can use them as a guide while I’m down there. In the meantime, I thought I’d share some of my packing inspiration. I’m packing dresses and sandals almost exclusively (am a wee bit scared of the heat!), but will have a pair of dressier shorts and wedges thrown in, too, I’m sure.
I can’t wait! Have you ever been?

Zara jacket (similar), Madewell skirt, Target tee, Stuart Weitzman booties (similar)
A quick little outfit moment taken by Taylor in Central Park before she and I headed to the Juicy Couture Fall 2012 presentation. Been getting some great wear out of this simple Madewell skirt. Can’t go wrong with stripes in my mind.
Happy Monday!
I’ve been eyeing the Ash Bea wedge sneakers for quite some time- they are such a great daytime staple and the brand is now offering them in pretty pastels just in time for all that city walking you’re sure to do around this time of year! I love how Alicia styled her bright Ash orange ones, too. A good alternative to the Isabel Marant ones, as well. (I do love a good sneak after all…)
Are you a fan of the wedge sneakers?
And..Happy Friday! I have a low key weekend planned of doing things that’ll bring me some much needed R&R such as a haircut, a facial, seeing the Schiaparelli and Prada exhibit at The Met and brunching with Ms. Blair for a long overdue catch up! What will you be up to?? xo
As summer approaches, I love this mix of stripes, a tribal print and a dash of sparkle. A perfect little lesson in mixing materials.
Happy Wednesday! xx
Urban Outfitters dress, Levi’s jacket, Frye Jayden Roper boots (c/o), Kate Spade tights, Marc by Marc Jacobs Q Hillier bag, Ray Ban aviators
The team at Frye was kind enough to send me the Frye boots I blogged about here and I’ve had such a great time styling them, particularly with dresses as the weather transitions. And they are SO comfortable! Wore the above look when my friend Megan was in town the other week and we headed over to visit the Brooklyn Flea to peek at all the pretty baubles and treat ourselves to Dough (o.m.g.).
A few more snaps from the flea (hi Megs!) below as well…hope everyone had a great weekend!
I’m in love with practically every jacket and blazer that Zara currently has in store and online. The perfect layering piece, a colorful, textured or printed blazer is just what a springtime outfit needs as we transition into summer, don’t you agree?
It’s been ages since I attended as an event as I am still working on keeping my social calendar more trim, but last night I headed up Madison Avenue to Lilly Pulitzer for a night of sipping cocktails among fellow bloggers while hearing a bit more about the brand and checking out their too-cute and, of course, super bright and fun Summer 2012 collection.
More to come soon (including what pieces I’ll be sporting soon!), but I just had to share the most amazing gift the Lilly team sent us each home with…a custom print of ourselves as inspired by our blogs and drawn by Lilly Pulitzer’s Print Designer, Paige Smith…can you believe this!? Isn’t it so amazing? Everything from my beloved aviators, go-to side pony and the trusty stack of magazines…they totally nailed my look and I am so touched & honored to have the framed print a part of my home now.
Huge thanks to the LP team for a wonderful evening and the beautiful print I’ll always cherish. I can’t wait to show you my new pieces soon! xo
Equipment blouse, 7 for All Mankind Garden Party skirt (c/o), Rebecca Minkoff ‘Romeo’ bag (c/o), Steve Madden boots, Karen Walker sunglasses, Social Experiment ring (c/o), Michael Kors watch, Alex + Ani, CC Skye, Jewelmint assorted jewelry
These photos were being held hostage on my camera for the past few weeks but were taken after a perfect Saturday morning spent brunching with Caroline & Taylor at Extra Virgin (a new go-to in the West Village for me- even spotted Olivia Palermo this weekend as I headed there!) This intersection in the photos above has to be one of the most magical there is in the city- so calm and peaceful, not to mention beautiful. Better yet? It involved a run-in with friend Morgan and her dog, Lua. Was a perfect Saturday before I jetted off to Long Island for Easter festivities.
(p.s. the Rebecca Minkoff bag above is the ideal travel bag. It’s come on every trip of mine since February- even fits my laptop and DSLR camera- what a dream…I highly recommend! Plus you don’t get more chic than subtle snakeskin, am I right?) XO
Morgan! and Lua!

Don’t you just love this classic & simple look? So perfect to take you from work to after-work cocktails, no?
If I could purchase any bag right now, I think it would be the PS11 by Proenza Schouler. I’d go for it in black for its versatility and since it’s been forever since I’ve done a Styled 3 Ways post, I figured no time like the present to imagine how I’d style this bag if it were mine.
First up: My go to uniform: silk blouse, boyfriend jeans + a simple pair of heels.
Secondly, a sassy little cocktail dress for an event that calls for more than just your average clutch.
And finally, a look that easily transitions from work into happy hour or even a bit more of a dressed up Saturday for brunch at Pastis followed by some Meatpacking shopping.
Which is your favorite look!?
