reflect

Whenever I'm in a rush, I reach for basics, and let my accessories make a statement. Especially during the colder months when I tend to wear a lottt more neutrals and dark colors. They're just easier to layer, and ultimately keep me looking chic - that's all we want in life, right? Easy dressing and impossibly chic results.
 That's why a great pair of sunglasses are a must to include in my basic arsenal (sooo many great choices here). Although these Ray Bans are far from plain, they easily punch up an otherwise bland look (without trying too hard).

easy like sunday morning

Sundays mean casual comfy. End of story. Cozy boots, an oversized shirt and comfy leggings are a go-to, no brainer, godsend (amiright?), especially after a busy weekend celebrating Halloween. Wore this while making an epic late-morning brunch with friends, and hunting for vintage furniture.

olive morning

I am in no way a morning person -- actually quite the opposite. I snooze 'till the last possible minute, get myself ready in 5.3 minutes and run out the door to catch a train into Boston. I've been working on loving mornings, but pretty sure it will forever be love-hate.

 This indian summer week is just what I needed before waving goodbye to all things summer. So one last outfit in shorts and sandals until my favorite boots and sweaters come out to play. 

Happy weekend friends!

those busy days

This week has been quite crazy and quite exciting, and as a result quite hectic. I turned 24 this Monday (eek!) and started a new job on the same day. It's been a week I've been striving for this past year, so seeing my hard work finally pay off is such a great feeling. Definitely a week I'll always remember, and a time where easy yet frilly dresses are a must.

the chance of a lifetime

Contests are so not me. I get that nervous picked-last-in-gym-class feeling every. single. time. And my initial reaction is no(ooo) way, even if my gut reaction is curiosity. 

But last week when the ladies at Wallis approached me to join their competition for first 'U.S. Blogger Ambassador' I said yes (I said yes! Eek!). A once in a lifetime, chance of a lifetime opportunity I just had to grab, and I need to bug you guys for help!

So here goes nothing! If you guys could spare a quick minute of your time, when you're bored at work or checking your Facebook in the morning, please, please (pretty please!) --

vote for me! 

You can vote once a day if you'd like, until April 9th -- and you'd be making this girl's day.

More details + a Wallis outfit post coming next week!

Thank you guys, so much!!

sequin punch

Staying sparkly and bright on this weirdly warm December day. I love these shoes, but wish they photographed true to color -- in real life they are BRIGHT orange and so fun to wear. You can definitely spot me from a mile away. This top was an awesome score from Forever 21. It looks really expensive and is well made, and an ideal pick for rocking daytime sequins, but the price ($22.80) had me sold.

red shoes

I finally bought a pair of the perfect cherry red heels just in time for sandal weather to be over -- typical. But their sale price makes it OK. I tend to use red as a neutral, especially with classic blue and white. This week has been nonstop, running between NYC and Boston, I am off to the city again tomorrow for a whirlwind 24 hours. Such a dream come true, but so exhausting! The things us girls do for fashion.

pink suit

A lighter shade of pink in a deconstructed cotton candy ensamble. 

It's lady-like but still quirky enough -- now that's my kind of summer suiting.
