Summer Brights
As someone who is usually rather monochromatic in the Fall and Winter, summer is the time when I break out my boldest and brightest colors. I'm usually not afraid to mix and match and pair them together. There's something about the sunshine that just ...

Peplum Bow Top
When it comes to my style, it’s hard to not be influenced by the people I spend the most time with. I would see my friends 4-5 times a week for dinners, after work drinks, and just hanging out in our neighbhorhood or at one of our apartments. Outsi ...

Summer Maxi Dress
One of the best things about summertime is the ability to throw on a simple dress and walk out the door. Being on the shorter side, I have a love/hate relationship with maxi dresses. I usually get them tailored to wear with heels, but I love being a ...

New York Nights
One of the best things about this time of year is how long the days are – making for long, fun nights. It's the best feeling to get off of work and the sun still be out and the city your oyster. It makes me so much more likely to get out and meet u ...

Summer Casual Top
You guys... it's officially summer! Well in my book anyways :). Memorial Day weekend is one of my favorites just for that reason, because it really signifies the beginning of my favorite season.
I'm a summer girl, through and through. There's ju ...

Ole
There's something about an off-the-shoulder blouse that just makes me feel like the salsa girl emoticon. I picked up this skort in two colors from Zara a few years back, and even though I feel like the skort era is over, I still love to pull it out e ...

The Bucket Bag
If you've been shopping around at all this Spring, you've probably noticed that the bucket bag is back! I have clung tightly to one that I scooped up a few years back and have loved the shape and style, but it was time for a refresh. I love a pop of ...

The Perfect Pant
I’m not the type who is usually in the market for a polished pair of pants. You can find me in jeans most days and if I divert from my usual jean + blouse uniform for work, I’m probably throwing on a dress and occasionally a skirt.

The little white dress is a Spring staple of mine that can be worn in so many ways. There are endless occasions perfect for a LWD – baby showers, bridal showers, special dinners and even date nights. It's kind of a blank canvas when it comes to sty ...

Good dresses are hard to find and even harder to find are good dresses under $50. I love being able to throw on a little number and walk out the door.

Personally, I love a good floral print and this Spring wanted to try and work in some girlier pieces, like this midi skirt. It's perfect for Easter, brunches, or for a shower or luncheon as an alternative to a dress.
