MATCHING SET IN ANTIGUA

Sharing another outfit that I wore during our vacation. I shared this set on Instagram earlier this week, but it's too cute not to document on the blog.  [ I didn't wear the flower all night but I couldn't resist grabbing it for a few of these photos ;) ]

J & I are going to the NYPD vs FDNY hockey game this weekend. Apparently it's a big rivalry so I'm hoping it will be a great game! We also have dinner with friends & a brunch with family. AND we have some prep to do for a wedding next weekend & last but not least, my wedding dress is supposed to come in, so I am going to pick it up!
 What are you up to this weekend? Have any fun plans?

RED SWING DRESS & LEOPARD PUMPS



Dress: old from Zara (similar here) | Heels: Sam Edelman | Bag: Gucci | Lip: Laqa & Co c/o


I know it might seem a tad late for a red dress (Valentine's Day is over, Michelle!) but did you know, February is American Heart Month? It's true & a big way to spread awareness about healthy hearts is to wear red during the month of February!

BEST WAY TO FIND ITEMS ON SALE



Sharing another look that I wore out east this weekend. We usually just BBQ & cook food at the house but on Saturday night, we decided to go out to eat. I wore my trusty white jeans paired with my new off shoulder top & sandals that I found at the most AWESOME discount prices! I'll be honest, I love a good deal, but I'm not an expert deal finder like some of my friends are. That's why I was so happy to find Fashion Lane - a website that lays out the best fashion deals for clothing, shoes, jewelry and more! 

My favorite way to use their site is by searching 'Today's Sale.' This will show you sale items from around 75 online stores. I check out price drops for the week, but you can also filter down to seeing deals within the last 48 hours; it just depends how often you stop by their site!

From there, I am able to check out sales for some of my favorite stores including ASOS, Rebecca Minkoff, Shopbop, Free People, Forever 21, Anthropologie...you get the picture! I love that Fashion Lane gives you all of the info you want to know at a glance. On the side bar, you can narrow down your price point, the type of piece you are looking for & the store or brand you want to shop. Then, I can see a photo of the items on sale along with the full price & the latest sale price. By hovering over the items I am interested, I can see the sizes that are still available & can set price drop alerts in case the price listed is still out of my budget. Once I find items I am interested in purchasing, I get taken directly to the store's website where I can place my order!

I was so excited to see some Rebecca Minkoff items listed on sale. RM is a brand I adore & I have a mini collection of bags from them (including this one!) but tend to find some of their clothing & shoes are a bit out of my price range. I was so excited to snag this adorable off the shoulder top & these nude sandals for under $100 combined! I also put some price alerts on a couple bags I have my eye on (this blush one & this beach tote)

One last thing to note:

The website is purely to help you find info. You still order from the brand/store website but Fashion Lane helps you to find coupons/deals & create sale alerts for items you have your eye on!

OUTFIT IDEAS FOR THE 4TH


July 4th is one of my favorite holidays. Beach days, BBQs, fireworks & of course, showing extra love for our country by donning our red, white & blue. Today I'm sharing some outfit ideas for July 4th & some tips to pulling off red, white & blue without looking like an actual American flag ;)


1. Opt for stripes! This is a classic pattern & in any combo of red, white &/or blue, it looks totally patriotic but can be worn over and over again this summer with a pair of denim shorts or jeans.

 2. Go monochrome.  If the thought of wearing red, white AND blue makes you nervous, opt for just one or two of the shades. Pick one shade & wear it from head to toe like I did in this look with white. 

 3. Don't forget accessories. Keep your look simple and instead add some American spirit to your July 4th outfit with some statement accessories. (Think a striped tote, or some cute star sandals like the ones I wore here & definitely include a red lip!)

Hope you have a great weekend! My entire family is heading out east for the weekend & I am so excited for some R&R!

DRESS FOR SUCCESS WITH TALBOTS x O MAGAZINE




I am so, so excited to be teaming up with Talbots & Oprah Magazine to feature items from their limited edition capsule collection today. Even more exciting, 30% of all proceeds from this collection will benefit Dress for Success!   As soon as I heard about this collaboration, I knew I needed to be a part of it. As a working gal myself, it is SO important to provide women with the confidence and tools that they need to make it in the workplace. 


A big part of why I chose to start a style blog was to help inspire women to put together a great outfit each morning. I fully believe what you wear makes a huge difference in how you feel; there's a certain way that we all hold our heads a little higher when we know we look good :) Talbots x O Magazine were able to partner with Dress for Success and help over 20,000 women last year & this year they are aiming to help even more!


There are 3 ways YOU can help make a difference & empower women. 
1. Shop the Collection!   Each piece in this collection can be mixed and matched to create a number of different looks. I love classic black & white prints & the accessories with the bold pops of red & floral. Each piece exemplifies Talbot's motto of modern, classic style. 
2. Donate! Bring your gently worn work day items to a Talbots store this weekend & they will be donated to Dress for Success.
3. Gift! You can give a monetary donation to Dress for Success by visiting a Talbots store or Talbots.com through the month of March.



Sweater / Top / Bag: all c/o Talbots (shop the entire collection here) | Jeans: c/o DL1961 | Shoes: BCBG (similar) | Lip: c/o Laqa & Co (shade: mixtape)


If you have a Talbots store nearby, stop in this weekend (ends 3/5) to drop off your gently worn work wear to donate to Dress for Success. You can find store locations here!

SEND TO YOUR BOYFRIEND


Today I'm sharing the one thing every girl REALLY wants for Valentine's Day: jewelry! Flowers & candy are thoughtful & I have my hopes up that J shows up with tons of sweets for me on Valentine's Day but there is nothing like a keepsake piece to show your love for your SO. 


Ever since last summer when I got my first piece of LAGOS jewelry, they have been one of my favorite luxury jewelry brands. I got another bracelet for myself around the holidays & loved how the two bracelets looked paired together. This time around, I came so close to choosing another bracelet to add to my arm party, but at the last minute, I thought it was time to switch it up & chose a rope necklace! I couldn't be happier with this gorgeous piece!



I love that LAGOS offers timeless luxury pieces for women of all ages & personal styles (think boho, minimalist or glam!). Plus, you don't have to break the bank for a gorgeous piece of jewelry. Pearl earrings & this ring are only $150. I love the key pendant & the heart necklace for Valentine's Day (both are under $250!).  If you want to splurge this Valentine's Day, check out these gold knot earrings, tassel necklace or diamond bracelet; all priced between $500-$1000.




In honor of Valentine's Day, I just had to pull out a red sweater. I actually love the way this v-neck sweater showcases my necklace! These two pieces are like a match made in fashion heaven!  

Sweater: American Eagle | Jeans: American Eagle | Heels: INC (similar) | Jewelry: c/o LAGOS | Bag: Tory Burch (similar) | Lip: L'Oreal (shade: Ravishing Red)

WEEKEND STYLE





Showing off a typical weekend outfit for me today. It's all about casual comfort on the weekends, which means lots of comfy sweatshirts & sneakers. How cool is this sweatshirt??? I am in love with the bold color & the fact that it has my initial! With a simple black & white color palette, the red sweatshirt really stands out.




 Tee: American Eagle | Jeans: Urban Outfitters (similar) | Sneakers: Nike (my fav style!) | Backpack: Rebecca Minkoff | Sunglasses: Ray Ban | Watch: c/o Caravelle
Hope you all have great weekends!

TANGER FINDS





 Last week, I had the pleasure of attending Tanger Outlets in partnership with People Style Watch.  When they reached out to me about this fun day of shopping, I got super bummed because I was going to be out of town on the actual day of the event, but I was lucky enough to be able to participate one day early (Thanks PSW!!) and headed out to the outlets with one of my best friends! The weather was gorgeous that day & we had our shopping shoes (aka sneakers) on, so we were ready to shop!  Outlet shopping can be slightly overwhelming since all of my favorite stores are in one place & all of those stores have huge SALE signs in the window.  Today I'm sharing a few tips for outlet shopping & sharing some of the great goodies that I picked up during our trip to Tanger Outlets!

WORKOUT WEAR UNDER $100

 





One of my favorite reasons to work out & one of my main motivators are, of course, the clothing.  I love the excuse for a whole secondary wardrobe of athleisure for exercising and many times also for weekends.  The clothes are just so comfortable & easy to wear.  As with my normal Monday- Friday outfits, I love being able to find great items at bargain prices.  Today's sweatshirt & leggings are both under $100!  Read on for some more under $100 workout wear picks.  

CLASSIC VALENTINE'S DAY





Today, I am excited to share a Valentine's Day inspired outfit.  J, sadly, is going to be away the weekend of Valentine's Day, so we celebrated by taking a ski trip over this past weekend & have been going on a few extra date nights over the last few weeks. That's the great thing about Valentine's Day - it's one of those holidays that's not really a holiday and can (& should) be celebrated anytime of the year. On this particular date night, I went for a classic, red and pink Valentine's Day look.






 I wore this long sleeve red dress last year for Valentine's Day as well, but can you blame me?  It really is the perfect Valentine's Day dress! This year I paired it with my OTK burgundy boots & a blush pink cross body to keep my whole outfit in the color scheme of LOVE ;)




Dress: Zara (seen here)| Boots: Stuart Weitzman | Bag: Kate Spade | Necklace: Chloe & Isabel (seen here; love this one!) | Lip: Revlon
