NYC
I landed in NYC on Wednesday night and I could not be happier to be back in the city! && for NYFW no less! The designers will be showcasing pieces from their Spring/Summer 2018 lines for the next few days. Eek!
Side Note — I got a text message a few hours before I was supposed to take off saying my flight had been cancelled and I was rescheduled on one the next day. [panic] But I was able to get on the airline app and pick a different flight from another airport. So I rushed home to get my bag and somehow ended up catching the earlier flight (thanks Ethan)! Moral of that story, if you are flying then be sure to download the app for the airline you are flying and sign up for text alerts. If it hadn’t been for that, I’m sure I wouldn’t have seen the cancellation email in time to make the necessary changes. I just got lucky!
Being back on these busy streets has been ahh-mazing. I just can’t describe the feeling I have when I am here–I find myself just smiling as I pass all the adorable shops in Soho! It’s definitely a city that makes you feel alive.
We have already been busy and we have a couple more days of shows, meetings & parties ahead! But I really wanted to share everything in my suitcase with you all.. you can shop it all below! My number one tip for packing for New York Fashion Week is to bring sneakers. Your feet will be thanking you because you will be running around like crazy and walking much more than you’d even imagine. I bought these before my trip and I ended up LOVING them! I will definitely be buying more sneakers from Dolce Vita. The low profile makes them so comfortable! These are actually 40% off now and they run true to size. I did not have to size up.

ps–some of these items are not showing up in the color I bought them in but if you click on the item then the other color choices will be there.
Most importantly–happy FRIDAY, loves! I hope you all make it a good one and that everyone who is in the path of this horrible storm stays safe!

I think it’s always good idea to buy a couple of fun tops each Summer. Ones that you can wear with jeans and heels on a night out or with jean shorts and flip flops for a day time lunch. This little red number certainly fits that bill! I have worn it too many times to count in the past few weeks. I love that it’s a bold color, is one shoulder, and has the cutest ruffle detailing.

&& I can’t even begin to tell you all how much I am loving these heels! A classic style–but this color helps them make a statement. They also come in neutral options and would be a great shoe to have for weddings and cocktail events. [runs true to size]
I wore this outfit when we went out for mexican and margs with friends in NYC. We sat outside at the Cascabel Taqueria on the Upper East Side and had the best night. Try it out if you are looking for a casual place! We snapped these photos on the balcony of our room before we headed out. We stayed at The Viceroy Central Park for this trip and I would recommend it! The location was great–close to several different areas of the city, the decor was chic–white black and brushed gold and the rooftop bar is a dream–nice view of the park and a great atmosphere.
Hope you all had a great weekend! Ours flew by, per usual but it was a good one none the less!
Since we just had the first official weekend of Summer [yayyy], I figure we can celebrate with this outfit I wore to brunch when we were in NYC because this white ruffle top and these red earrings would be the perfect combo for the 4th of July!
I have already worn this top too many times to count. I love the way the crisp white pairs with a tan (real or faux like mine, haha) and the one shoulder makes it just a tad different. You could pair it with navy or denim and it would be perfect for the holiday. Shorts or a skirt in either one would be so cute.
Since sizes are limited in my top, I found two very similar options! Shop them here (on major sale) and here (comes in lots of colors too).
These earrings are the perfect way to add a fun pop to your outfit. They weigh practically nothing which is KEY when looking for a big earring! They can be worn with a dressy or casual outfit (even a bathing suit!) so they will pair well with whatever plans you have in store. BONUS: They come with free 2-day shipping so they will arrive in time! If you’re looking for a slightly smaller pair then you could give these a try!
A couple more fun items that would be great to work into your 4th of July weekend:
At first I was bummed about the 4th being on a Tuesday. I will have to work on Monday and Wednesday so…that kinda stinks. But, I’ve decided to look at the bright side this week. After all, it is still a holiday. And I have a strict policy about celebrating any and all holidays! Why not?! Plus, it will be a nice way to break up the M-F week!
Oh, and ps–I sized up two sizes in these jeans to get this fit. They are my very favorite pair right now too. LOVE!

Crazy that this coat is only $38! I have the exact one that is in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and so can tell you this one is good buy. I mean–when you can get a good coat at the price of a sweater, it’s like why not right? I am loving this and this in the sale right now too. I’m ordering one.. I just can’t decide which yet! They’re both super similar to the one in the snapshot above.
