Spring Stripe

Denim Jacket: J Crew | Dress: Zara | Shoes: Brian Atwood - also, here 

Quick hello from sunny Miami. Went away with two of my best girlfriends for a little getaway and my abs already hurt from laughing so much.  Staying at the beautiful Delano hotel and could not recommend it enough. Follow along on instagram.

Dress: thanks to BHLDN | Leather Jacket: H&M | Bracelets: BHLDN | Shoes: Jimmy Choo

Having a bit of a Carrie Bradshaw moment in this dress. You had to see us taking these photos as I was trying to do this incredible dress justice: long dresses + 5" (stiletto) heels + cobblestone streets make for quite an interesting combination.

Pants: J Crew (old) | Tee: Rag & Bone | Leather: H&M | Shoes: Jimmy Choo (cheaper version here) | Necklace: J Crew (old) | Sunglasses: Celine | Lipstick: LAQA & Co in Lambchop (a new fav!)

I got these pants almost a year ago (I think?), but just realized this is the first time they're being shown on this blog. That actually surprises me considering how much use I get out of them.
I've actually been trying to do that a lot lately. Shop my own closet and not get into the mindset that "new is always better..."  Obviously, as someone who photographs what they wear, that's sometimes often hard, but it's forced me to push myself and get a bit more creative. The skirt in the last post is a perfect example. It's become one of those items I've worn over and over in more combinations than I initially thought possible. Same goes with these pants, so hopefully I can showcase another version soon!

PS: Even though I already shared it on my Facebook page, this song is currently on replay. Dancing in my seat...

Sweater via TJ Maxx | Skirt: Zara (old) similar option here | Shoes: Sigerson Morrison (on sale!) | Hat: J Crew | Bracelets: ISARO by Jill Golden for J Crew, Michael Kors | Rings: By Boe

One of my favorite combinations is pairing creamy neutrals together, especially when they involve different textures to give the outfit a bit of dimension.

Still editing photos from LA, so they should be coming soon!

Minty Fresh

Jeans: Vince | Jacket: Zara (last worn here) | Tee: Rag & Bone | Shoes: Sigerson Morrison | Ring: YSL | Nail Polish: Ann Taylor

I'm currently in sunny LA and even though I've visited a few times, I'm always excited about being here. It feels like a different world and this city makes me want to drink loads of green juice, go to farmers markets, workout a whole lot more and just relax. I'm such a stereo typical, fast-paced NY'er that whenever I'm in a slower city, getting impatient about everything that's slow around me, I realize that I'm the one who needs to chill out. Baby steps, but trying to get there. Stay tuned...LA photos to follow!

PS: The nail polishes I'm wearing are available at Ann Taylor stores only (starting May 3rd). 50% of the nail polish purchase will be donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Love the colors and love the cause even more!

City Prep

Blazer: Ralph Lauren | Skirt: J Crew also here | Cotton V-neck Sweater: J Crew | Shoes: Aquazzura |
Sunglasses: Celine | Necklace: Leah Alexandra | Handbag: Vintage Chanel | Nail Polishes: Ann Taylor (available May 3rd, in stores only).

I love mixing slightly unexpected pieces like a structured blazer with something a bit more fun and youthful, like this striped mini skirt. We took these photos in Dumbo, which has movie worthy views that never get old and were lucky enough to catch an empty-ish path.

J Crew is having 25% off your entire purchase with the code SPRINGBEST. Just stocked up on a few of these cotton v-neck sweaters. Perfect for spring and summer!

 I'm off to LA tomorrow - follow along on instagram!
