Spring Sightings

This weekend in New York City is simply perfect!! The weather has been in the mid 60s and the sun is shinning! For spring fashion lovers like me, this can only mean one thing- it's time to break out some spring clothes!! I am loving this new 3/4 sleeve blouse with bow details from Talbots. It is so light and airy, it is perfect for transitioning into spring. It's simplicity makes it very versatile, but the little bows on the sleeves add a feminine, preppy touch. I paired the blouse with these light wash, cut-off skinny jeans from LOFT. I can't wait to wear these into the summer with sandals, but for now, they look just as cute with flats! I plan on wearing these adorable loafer style flats (also from Talbots) with just about everything this spring. I love love love the leather flower appliques on top and the color is a great transition tone to go from winter into spring and even to wear from late summer into the fall. Together, these pieces made for an effortless outfit for an afternoon stroll on the upper east side. Of course, I couldn't resist picking up some fresh flowers from a flower cart on the street! Take a look at the pictures below to see the full outfit and for outfit details, and stay tuned for more spring fashions coming soon!!

Shivering at Shelburne Farms

It's been a chilly past couple of days here in Vermont! Yesterday, my friends and I were bored of being cooped up inside, so we decided to brave the cold and go on a little adventure! After bundling up in layers and layers of warm clothes we took a drive down to Shelburne Farms and walked around the grounds. To stay cozy, I pulled out my new J.Crew Factory coat. This coat is both functional and cute! It is the perfect length, has many pockets, and the fur-lined hood adds a little extra detail that I love! To top it off, I threw on my favorite pink beanie and lastly, slipped on my go-to Sperry boots.
Of course, it was too cold for most of the farm animals to be out, but we did get a glimpse of a few cows, and luckily the cold was just bearable enough to mosey around and get a few snapshots in before we made a run for it back to the car with numb faces! Although we were frozen, it was worth getting to see the amazing view of Lake Champlain and snowy mountains that The Inn at Shelburne Farms has to offer. Take a look below to see the details of my "bundled-up outfit", as well as a few other pictures from our little adventure!

Feeling Festive with FOTO

At this time of the year, I am always hustling and bustling around trying to get things ready for Christmas. There are so many errands to run, gifts to buy, decorating to do, and places to be! This year, I will be doing it all with my new favorite tote from FOTO in hand! Known for their adorable, personalized camera straps (you can see mine in a past blog post here!), FOTO has recently launched a bunch of new products- including this bag! All of their products are made from durable, genuine leather and are 100% American made. They also donate 10% of the proceeds from every purchase to support Fotolanthropy, a non profit organization that documents inspiring true stories. My favorite part about FOTO's products is they can all be personalized! I have my monogram on my camera strap as well as on my new tote! The tote is perfect for running all of your holiday errands. It sits very comfortably on your shoulder and can hold everything from your camera, wallet, and other personal items, to your purchases and presents- and maybe a candy cane or two for a little sugar pick-me up while Christmas shopping! The bag also makes a great Christmas gift, along with FOTO's other new products such as luggage tags and leather bound journals! Check out the pictures below to see my tote in action while searching for the perfect Christmas tree and then make sure to head over to the FOTO website and check out their products for yourself! Happy Shopping!

Breezy in Blush

It has finally cooled down to fall temperatures in New York! Last Saturday was the perfect day to take a walk through central park to see the foliage. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to wear my new favorite, blush pink coat, now that it was cold enough to wear it! It also just so happens to perfectly match the color-blocked blanket scarf, sent to me in a care package from my managers back home at Talbots! I was so surprised and excited when I received the package from them. It was so sweet of them to think of me and made me excited to go back to work with them when I go home over winter break later this year. The scarf is so versatile; I have already worn it with multiple outfits! It has quickly become my go to scarf for fall and winter. The best part is that for the month of October, Talbots had donated 20% the proceeds from each scarf to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Under the coat and scarf I wore a simple black turtle neck, paired with skinny jeans, and black booties. These booties were a steal! Would you believe they are from Forever 21!? I have gotten so many compliments on them- you would never guess that they are under $35, nevertheless extremely comfortable! Take a look at the pictures below to see the complete outfit and check out the details at the bottom to get the look for yourself!

Ringing in Fall

After the first two weeks of being back in New York City, it is finally starting to cool down and feel a bit more like fall. Transitioning from summer to fall can sometimes be hard to dress for. Do you start wearing your fall clothes for the chillier mornings, or do you still wear your summer clothes for the warmer afternoons?? During this time of the year, I search for pieces that suit both. This bell sleeve dress is the perfect transition piece! The chambray fabric is airy enough for warmer afternoons, while the long sleeve adds a bit of warmth against light breezes. And of course, the most eye-catching element of the dress- the bell sleeves- are the perfect touch to transition into fall trends.
I cannot wait to finally break out some fall clothes once it cools down some more and to share them with you! Until then, be sure to check out the pictures below as well as the outfit details and stay tuned for fall fashions coming very soon (hopefully)!!

Star Spangled Glamour

Every heart beats true for the red, white and blue... and July 4th is just around the corner! Delicious food, fireworks, and spending the day with friends and family are just some of the things I love about the 4th of July. Every year my family hosts a pool party to bring everyone together to celebrate. Yard games, a clam bake, and our annual game of pool baseball always make for a memorable time. Of course, what's a 4th of July party with out the decorations!? Over the past couple years, we have collected quite the array of stars and stripes! I always love putting out all the decorations, but as you could probably guess, my favorite thing about the 4th is dressing in patriotic colors for all the festivities! Whether it's for the party, fireworks on the lake, or for our game of pool baseball, you can find me sporting red, white, and blue. Check out the pictures below to see the outfit inspiration and party essentials that I've rounded up to get you all ready for a fabulous 4th of July! 
Happy Independence Day!!
