A Little Flounce Never Hurt Anybody...

Dress: LOFT; Blazer: Zara; Bag: Michael Kors; Sandals: Dolce Vita; Sunnies: Chloe

There's a couple things I love about this dress. The color block (and I thought I was over color block!), the drop waist 1920s feel, and the overall cuteness of it. I mean, anything with a little flounce puts a little extra pep in my step. Does it do that to you? In retrospect, it probably would have looked much better with heels. But truth be told, I like to limit long days at the office in heels to one day a week. And today just wasn't that day. 

Even though I was loving that today was a bit on the summery side, I would be lying if I said I wasn't excited to pair this with opaque tights and booties in a few short weeks.

A Walk in the Park

Top: LIT Boutique (last summer); Shorts: LOFT; Shoes: Zara (HERE); Watch: La Mer (HERE); Sunnies: Chloe

WEIRD! It's those hot pink Zara sandals again. Making yet another appearance in an outfit this week (see Tuesday's post HERE). After the wedding in Salem, MA on Friday night, we spent part of Saturday morning/afternoon brunching and shopping. It was insanely humid that day so comfortable clothing was a must. It's also a must if you plan to indulge in a 2 lb. strawberry and nutella crepe... which I definitely did not do.

All Wrapped Up

Just a quick post today with another example of my weekday work wear. I'm psyched for my long weekend to start in approximately 8 hours, 9 minutes and 32 seconds. Is it weird I still get this excited for days off?

Dress: Diane von Furstenberg; Tights: Hue; Wedges: LOFT; Watch: Michael Kors;

Have a wonderful weekend and a very Happy Easter!

Hello 2012!

I hope everyone's New Year was spent surrounded by the ones they love laughing, dancing and enjoying some bubbly. 2011 brought about a lot of (positive!) changes for me and I'm confident that 2012 has even more in store for me.

My New Year's Resolution is to be the best person I can be -- less judgemental, more positive, harder working, healthier. What is your New Year's Resolution?

Tartan

This dress was love at first sight for me. Even though I bought it back in August, this is my first time actually wearing it. I love the length and the cut, it's unlike anything I have. I might even pull a fashion faux pas and wear it for my family's big Christmas party on Saturday. Very festive, no?

Tartan dress: Anthropologie; Boyfriend cardigan: Express (old); Belt: F21

Tights: LOFT; Wedges: LOFT

Workweek Chic

I don't know about you, but sometimes I need a little extra boost in the morning to get myself out of bed. Sometimes it's allowing myself to indulge in a salted caramel mocha midweek. Other times it's simply excitement over getting to wear a new sweater or pair of shoes.


Today I happened to remember that I hadn't yet worn my most recent purchase. My Stella & Dot Bamboleo necklace. You wouldn't believe how quickly I sprung out of bed to figure out an outfit that struck a perfect balance between office appropriate and fun.

Blazer: Aqua via Bloomingdale's; Layered silk tank: JCrew (last year); Necklace: Stella & Dot;

Black pants: F21; Penny Loafer Wedges: LOFT; Rings: vintage, Tiffany & Co.

If you haven't checked out Stella & Dot yet, you need to do so right away! Their jewelry has been featured in Vogue and InStyle magazines, on the Today Show and on countless celebs. You'll be seeing me wearing several of their pieces as I recently became an independent stylist. I'm working to put together a few trunk shows in the Boston area within the next few months so stay tuned! (Shameless self promotion is over now, sorry!)
