10 FLORAL DRESSES TO SNAG NOW





How amazing is this floral mini dress? I am a huge fan of yellow, love the garden floral print, subtle ruffles and unexpected cutouts, so basically, I love EVERYTHING about it. I first spotted a teaser photo of this dress on the Free to Move Clothing Instagram and HAD to have it. I ordered it as soon as possible and was so thrilled with this dress as soon as it arrived. It is the perfect daytime summer dress.  Catch a few more floral dresses on my shopping list below!

Hope you all have a great weekend. I traveled to LA this week for a work conference & it was quite the experience travelling by myself for the first time! I had some pretty bad anxiety about the whole thing honestly but it was a cool experience, I learned a lot at the sessions I attended & breakfast in bed each morning isn't a bad perk. Needless to say, I'm really excited to be flying home today & can't wait to be back in NY!

THOUGHTFUL, USEFUL FATHER'S DAY GIFTS




With Father's Day less than 2 weeks away, it's time to start talking about useful gifts for Dad. My dad is one of those people who puts everyone else ahead of himself so when buying gifts for him we like to treat him to something practical that we know he will get lots of use out of but also something great quality because Dad doesn't shop for himself all that often! Today I'm sharing a handful of gift ideas that are long lasting, thoughtful & practical for Father's Day!

First up, let's discuss this button down shirt. I have talked about Mizzen & Main on my blog before but I really can't stress enough how amazing their products actually are. At this point, J has started his own little collection of Mizzen & Main button downs, Sarah's BF has one & this is going to be my dad's second one. I got him his first Mizzen & Main shirt for Christmas & he wore it all the time & each time he did, he raved about the stretch, comfort & ability to keep up with him (these button downs don't wrinkle, are sweat proof & can be tossed in the washing machine after wearing). They come in a bunch of colors (25 to be exact!) so I had a tough time choosing the perfect one, but opted for the York, a light blue & paprika plaid print. Perfect for spring/summer!


Another gift idea for Dad? A Harry's Shave Kit! I've also talked about these shave kits on my blog before too & just like the shirts, the rave reviews for these shaving kits never ends. Harry's created a limited edition shave kit just in time for Father's Day & it has everything Dad needs to get the perfect shave. This kit comes with a storm gray handle, an engravable razor stand, a blade cover, extra blades & your choice of foaming gel or shave cream. The set arrives in a gray gift box ready to be handed off to Dad!  The best part about this gift idea is how affordable the price is! This limited edition kit is only $30 & the quality is top notch!

MY WEEKDAY MORNING ROUTINE

Anyone else having a case of the Mondays? It seems I am never ready for the weekend to end & the week to start (although this week I am a little excited for this particular week because I am traveling to LA on Tuesday!) Anyways, I thought I'd give you all a peek into my morning routine for today's post. I love my sleep so anything that saves me time always gets two thumbs up in my book. Read on for my weekday morning routine & the tricks I use to save time in the mornings!

7:15 am - my alarm goes off for the first time. I snooze once or twice before actually getting out of bed. 

 Save Time: If you have trouble rolling out of bed in the morning like I do, set your alarm 10-15 minutes earlier than the time that you actually want to get out of bed. This way you have time to snooze & still leave yourself enough time to get ready.


7:30 am - I crawl into the bathroom to brush my teeth, wash my face & jump in the shower to help me wake up a bit.
Save Time: Wet Skin moisturizers are my new favorite products & they really work! My skin is left feeling soft & looking healthy all day (perfect for all those dresses I've been wearing to work & on weekends!) plus they save me an extra step in the morning! I have been using Jergens® Wet Skin™ Moisturizer with Nourishing Monoi Oil & the smell is amazing, it is easy to use & doesn't leave my skin feeling sticky at all - in fact, my legs are looking better than ever!




7:45 am - Time to get dressed! To be honest, if I'm not shooting blog photos, my outfits are a little more basic. I stick to neutrals, simple shapes & patterns, etc. I am obsessed with my new white slides. I asked you all on Instagram stories if I should go with the white or the blush and while I was nervous about the white getting dirty, I'm so glad I followed your opinions are ordered the white pair. They match all of my summer outfits & are under $70!
Save Time: Choose your look the night before. Of course think about your outfit but also choose any accessories & pull them out so they are ready to go in the morning. 
8:00 am -  Hair & make up time!

 Save Time: As mentioned above, I sometimes jump in the shower in the mornings to help wake up but I always wash & pre-style my hair at night since it takes time. When I jump in the shower in the morning, I just wrap my hair up in a bun & add a shower cap. In the mornings, I am able to just touch up the front with a curling wand if needed & add some dry shampoo at the roots.
8:20 am - I head downstairs for breakfast. Depending on how much time I leave for myself, I will pop something in the toaster or just grab something out of the fridge. Also depending on time, I like to take a quick Instagram photo of my #OOTD.

 Save Time:  Have a few go-to breakfast options that don't require prep time. If I'm running low on time, I grab a banana, a breakfast bar or a hard-boiled egg.
8:32 am - That's right. At 8:32am every morning, I say 'Time to go' & head out to the train to go to work!

Dress: LOFT | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff (under $100!) | Shoes: BP via Nordstrom (under $70!)
What's your morning routine like?

HIS & HERS: SUMMER HATS




Happy Friday! Sharing one last post from last weekend & this time I'm including J (hey my dude!) to showcase our new summer hats. We both love to spend time at the beach but we also are super smart about keeping our skin protected from the sun's rays. That means lots of sunscreen, spending time in the shade & wearing a hat. 



We each picked out a new hat style for summer from Brooklyn Hat Company. They have the largest selection & great options for guys & gals. I chose a wide brim straw hat with the cutest colorful detail & pom pom accent while J opted for a palm printed cap. Both styles are totally summery and keep our faces protected during days out in the sun.


My Look: Hat: c/o Brooklyn Hat Co (similar) | Dress: Shopbop | Sandals: Tory Burch  | Sunglasses: Ray Ban
J's Look: Hat: c/o Brooklyn Hat Co | similar t shirt | similar shorts | Shoes: Soludos | Sunglasses: Oakley
