Day & Night

TGIF.

Today I am keeping things easy, quick and casual.

In an effort to shake it up a bit, I strayed away from my usual lighter, brighter look and went with a black and gray pairing. I finally gave the trendy lace-up top a try and paired it with some go-to trouser pants. The result? A flirty look that works well for both day and night. A casual day at the office, happy hour, a lunch with friends-- it works for all three!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Backyard Getaway

Venice Canals

The Venice Canals are practically in my backyard but I rarely make it over there. A serene oasis with colorful canoes, arched walkways and waterfront cottages--it's a perfect place to escape and recharge. I stopped by (possibly a bit overdressed to walk the docks) on my way to meet friends for dinner last weekend and I felt like I was worlds away. Hey- when a flight to Italy is not an option, this place is the next best thing!

This breezy neck-tie dress is a new favorite of mine. It's effortlessly flirty and requires very little accessorizing (so my style!) And with vintage greens and burgundy hues, it puts a darker fall spin on the classic floral dress.

Scarf Season

Fall will always be scarf season to me. But this year, a new skinny version is stealing the show. Breathable, silky and ultra-femme, this latest trend is a major game changer. I love it. And while I am not a pro at twisting it up into fancy knots, it’s still pretty easy to pull off. Wear it with a vintage tee or tucked into a button-down, either way the slim scarf adds the cool to whatever you’re wearing this fall.

Today, I paired it with a pleated mini skirt, ivory tank and crossbody. It’s a fun transitional outfit—perfect for those days when you’re dreaming of apple picking but the temps still scream summer.
