A Walk in the Park

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.

Flower Girl

Dress: Zara (similar HERE); Heels: Charles David (old); Purse: Old Navy; Watch: MK; Bangles: Alex & Ani; Nails: Essie Bubble Bath; Lips: Sephora Forever Fuchsia (HERE)

I wore this to a friend's wedding last weekend and while I wasn't actually the flower girl, I thought the floral print on my dress was perfect for such a happy occasion. When the dancing got going, I ditched my heels for something more fun and MUCH more comfortable... THESE hot pink Zara sandals.

Would you wear a dress like this to a wedding?

MDW Recap

Hi guys! Happy TUESDAY! How was your long weekend? Mine was the perfect mix of social outings and relaxing at home and on the beach. We really lucked out with the weather up here. I have a sweet sunburned nose to prove it too! 

I wore this outfit to meet some friends out Saturday night. It was so humid I had to break out the mousse and embrace my crazy part wavy, part mind-of-its-own hair. It was the perfect night to spend down by the Seaport District and now that I've gotten a taste of summer, I can't wait to see what the next few months bring me.

See you tomorrow!

Oh Hey Thursday

Tulips brighten up any table setting

New hot pink Zara sandals (obsessed)

Favorite afternoon snack: Liberte Coconut Greek Yogurt

Boredom produces fun manis

Stormy skies over Boston

Cinco de Mayo smiles

If only queso fundido and margaritas were good for you...

Just a quick post today to share my latest shots from Instagram (@LsFashionDish). Besides being THE busiest week I've had in a long time, I decided to revamp my workout schedule and head to the gym before work. If you know me, you know what a big accomplishment that is. So needless to say I'm a tad exhausted.

Happy Thursday!

Trend to Try: Lace Dresses

Lately I've been seeing lace dresses everywhere. Well, let me rephrase: lately I've been seeing cute lace dresses everywhere. And though I've yet to purchase one, I've narrowed it down to three options, pictured above. 

First we have the Neon Lace Flippy Dress from Topshop. If I was looking to kill two trends with one dress, this would be the perfect option. I bet the picture of this dress doesn't do it justice. I can totally envision myself wearing this for a girls night out, dancing the night away with my favorite girls. Plus at $92, the price point isn't bad.

Moving onto the next option, we have the Lucille Dress from J.Crew. I love the classic and flattering shape of this one and know that I would get a ton of use out of it. I like the yellow version but the navy is so chic and could be worn into the fall as well. It's ideal for weddings, cocktail parties, and even days at the office. For $188, price per wear would make this dress 100% worth it.

Last but not least we have the Katya Lace Dress by Tibi. Oh, Tibi [insert exaggerated sigh here]. Why is everything I adore in this world made by you and therefore just out of my price range? The classic shape and beautiful cobalt blue color make me weak in the knees for this dress. The lace is so feminine and pretty. I've been known to justify worse purchases so maybe, just maybe this dress will make its way to my closet.

Would you wear a lace dress like these? If you were me, which one would you buy?

Sunday Stroll

Yesterday was such a beautiful day. We attended a fun backyard birthday party at a friend's house and on the way home found a cute little park alongside a river. The sun was still shining and we weren't yet ready to go home so we stopped to snap some photos and take a quick stroll.

As much as I love backyard barbecues, there's nothing worse than indulging in your favorite foods (and plenty of birthday cake) and then feeling uncomfortable and hot in constricting clothing. I wanted to dress for comfort without sacrificing style, so I opted for this white linen shift dress and some basic flats. Please excuse the wrinkles -- linen doesn't exactly behave well after having been worn for several hours.

How did you spend your Sunday? Is it just me or did this weekend absolutely fly by?

Until tomorrow!

Sponsor Spotlight: SmartBuyGlasses

With all the rain and cold weather we've been having here in Boston this past week, it's hard to believe summer is supposed to be right around the corner. True to New England weather, we catch a glimpse of warmth and then it disappears as quickly as it came. 

The only thing that keeps me in good spirits during these transitional weeks and months, is daydreaming about picnics in the park, days at the beach, weekend getaways, and shopping. Always shopping. Though my wishlist for summer is fairly extensive, one thing at the very top of my list is a new pair of shades. Specifically this gorgeous pair of Kate Spade Aviator Sunglasses.

And how cool is this: at SmartBuyGlasses, they have a totally useful 3D Try-on tool so you can see what the glasses look like on you before buying them! Simply upload your picture and choose the glasses you want to try on.
