Overall, I'm Loving My Overalls

I am obsessed with my new overalls!! At first, I was hesitant to buy them because I wasn't sure what I would wear them with, but I have found that they are so versatile! I have worn them with everything from a turtleneck with red lipstick and ankle booties, to a t-shirt with a baseball cap and sandals! Most recently, I wore them over this pink and white boatneck top with a pair of Jack Rogers. It was the perfect outfit for going out to run errands on a cool spring day! Check out the pictures below to see how I styled my overalls, and see the links below to see where you can find a pair for yourself!

Pleats in the Peach State

Last week I got the chance to go visit my sister in Atlanta, Georgia over my spring break! The weather was perfect for exploring the city and getting to break out some summer clothes. I am in love with this pleated skirt from Ann Taylor! The colors are great for spring and summer and the pleats allow for a lot of movement on a light breezy day. I paired it with a sleeveless, cropped shell (also from Ann Taylor). The shell is so versatile and can be worn with so many different skirts or untucked with a pair of shorts for a more casual look. I stuck with black for the top, but once summer officially comes around, the skirt can be worn with many colored tops as well (I plan to wear it with a top that matches the light blue stripe!). This outfit can be dressed up with a pair of heels or wedges, but a pair of sandals was perfect for all the walking we did while exploring.

Take a look at the pictures we took at the Atlanta History Center, and see the links below for the outfit details!

DIY Marbled Easter Eggs

Easter is just around the corner, which means it's time to do one of my favorite Easter activities- decorating Easter eggs! This year, I took a non-traditional approach to decorating eggs. Still sticking with Easter pastel colors, these marble patterned eggs are a fun update to the classic dyed Easter eggs. They are super easy to make and will have all of your Easter dinner guests in awe, guessing how you made them! Simply follow these steps....

Supplies:
- Hard-boiled eggs
- Nail Polish (I used pink, blue, teal and purple)
- Styrofoam bowls- one for each color
- Stirring Sticks- one for each color (I used chopsticks)
- Rubber gloves

Step 1. After boiling the eggs, fill a bowl with room temperature water. Take a bottle of nail polish and slowly poor a few drops of polish into the boil.

Step 2. Using a chopstick, stir the nail polish around to create a marbled design.

Step 3. Wearing the rubber gloves, carefully drop an egg into the bowl and turn it over a few times.

 Step 4. Remove the egg from the bowl and place it on a stand to dry. I made a stand out of a sheet of foam and straight pins (see below).

Repeat these steps, using a different bowl, and a different stirring stick for each color! Check out the pictures below to see the finished product and then go try it for yourself!

Spring Has Sprung!

Last week in NYC, we finally got a taste of spring! With mid-70 degree weather, I couldn't resist the chance to wear some new spring clothes.  An eyelet blouse (a trend I am loving right now!), sandals, and my favorite pink purse made for the perfect outfit to welcome the spring weather. I took a stroll through Bryant Park to take advantage of the warm, sunny day, as did many other New Yorkers! The park was packed with people dying to get a taste of the fresh spring air. I think it's safe to say that everyone is hoping this weather is here to stay!

Blanket Cape in Burrrr-lington

A blanket cape is an effortless piece that is perfect for staying warm on a cold day- especially during a Vermont winter. Below, I wore a color-blocked blanket cape over a striped turtleneck with a pair of skinny jeans and ankle booties, while walking down by the Burlington Waterfront. This Echo Design cape is so soft and cozy, its just like having the comfort of staying at home wrapped up in a blanket! It can be worn so many different ways and for so many different occasions. You can wear it over a simple long sleeve shirt, similar to how I did below, with riding boots or flats for a more casual look, or belt it around your waist, to accentuate your shape, and add a pair of heeled booties for a dressier look! Check out the pictures below to see how I styled my blanket cape and head over to Echo Design's website to try one for yourself!

There's Snow Place Like Vermont

It's been a very snowy past couple of days here in Vermont!! We are finally getting the classic Vermont winter we've been waiting for. What better way to enjoy the snow than to hit the ski slopes?! Okay, okay, so I didn't actuallyyyyy go skiing. But Smuggler's Notch in Jeffersonville, Vermont provides some pretty amazing scenery for snowy landscapes. My friend Lauren and I had so much fun walking around the winter wonderland and of course, we brought our cameras with us to capture the perfect day. There is truly no better place to enjoy winter than in the mountains of Vermont. You can check out a few pictures from our adventure below!

Essie // Seventeen Event

On Monday, my friends and I had the opportunity to attend the Essie Fall 2015 Collection Preview Event, hosted by Seventeen Magazine at the Hearst Tower.  The event showed off the six new shades inspired by the rock 'n roll era. The new shades range from saturated fall hues, like a burnt cherry red, With the Band (my personal favorite!), to a metallic cobalt blue, Bell-Bottom Blues, and a sparkly stone gray, Frock 'n Roll.

Everything from the candy bar, to the mocktail bar, to the flower arrangements incorporated the colors of the new fall collection.  It was also a great chance to mingle with some fellow Essie lovers, including the beautiful Carly Heitlinger of The College Prepster! All around, the event was a great way to introduce the new shades and to get excited for the upcoming fall season! Check out the pictures below to get a glimpse of the event and make sure to try out the amazing new collection!
