Here is something to brighten up your Monday blues….this outfit is under $30. I originally had stopped in Forever21 and picked up a few pieces that I thought were cute and could mix with some other items I had at home. When I was paying in line I had the idea to layer this striped tee under the floral romper for a little pattern play. One trick for mixing patterns is to keep them in the same color family. Another is to treat stripes as a neutral.
I think this romper is too adorable to pass up. The red allover floral print is lush and striking and the boxy fit and adjustable straps lend you that overalls vibe. Below, I also added a few other similar pairs I love just as much. Thanks for stopping by today.

Finally, next month I will be back in Long Beach Island and I cannot wait…and today’s little number is definitely coming with me. When I go to the shore all of my outfits are usually easy breezy, and by that I mean…denim shorts, little dresses, and pretty much anything that equals no fuss!
This LWD has a bit of boho vibe from the tassel accents at the hem. I decided to elevate todays look with a silk floral scarf and straw boater hat to add a few extra summer details. I have seen adorable tassel pieces all over the internet and not just on clothing…on hats, clutches, and even shoes. Below, I have linked white dresses with tassels at all price ranges. Have a great week everyone.

I cannot explain to you how much I love this set (and pretty much any cute set for that matter) They are just the best for summer and make it way too easy to get dressed. I purchased this one from Revolve, and they have soo many other adorable options as well. Many of the pieces I end up buying are flirty, effortless, and have numerous styling options.
The sleek stripes and tiered layers set me up to buy this one (pun intended). I immediately fall for anything girly. I don’t know what it is with me and ruffles these days, but I cannot stop (even though they can be such a pain to iron). This is by the brand Privacy Please. They are a vintage-inspired label with the cutest pieces. Check some of them out below. I hope everyone has an amazing weekend.

Hi everyone!!
Today’s look is casual and cool. What I love about this ribbed long skirt is that is can be dressed up or down. However, when I first saw it I imagined it styled very laidback with an oversized tee. I ended up liking it with this knotted tank I have and simple white birkenstocks, which epitomize casual comfort.
I added this bandana like choker with paisley print, which unexpectedly looks awesome with the fringe finishing on the skirt…occupying the spotlight. Below, shop this look and similar items at a very low price. Thanks for stopping by today!
Happy fourth of July everyone!!
I hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend and time off of work to relax and spend time with friends and family. I know a lot of people go away for the weekend either to the beach or lake….I am home by the pool this year and I plan on laying out for the rest of the day!!
Today I am “earning my stripes”(how convenient for the holiday?!) in this adorable tee dress with a ruffled hem. Ruffles always add a touch of femininity to anything and I think that is why I am always drawn to pieces detailed with them. Many of the pieces from this brand actually have them, while also being relaxed yet refined and fashion-forward. You can shop this look and other similar pieces below. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have an amazing day!!

If you happen to be a girl on a strict budget then this outfit is the one for you. I have spoken about this before, you do not always have to have the most expensive items in your wardrobe to be stylish. Mixing high end together with less expensive things is done all the time by smart shoppers and no one will ever be the wiser. Just look for things that are made well and have great fabric. Believe it or not, this skirt was only $20.00 and it is the cutest!!! I found it at forever 21 one day when I was just shopping around looking for a few things. perfect for the office or on a day when you just need to run around getting things accomplished. During the summer I will very often wear dresses or skirts during the day because they are easy and lady like. I paired it with another inexpensive top from H&M. The wedges are Paul Andrew, the purse, j.crew, a bit more expensive but adds just the right touch, picking up the same neutral tone of the top and the stripe in the skirt. This is a smart looking outfit, very affordable and one would never guess what I paid for it. Don't be afraid to mix it up, you just might surprise yourself.

Ready, Set…..Monday.
When it comes to spring and summer trends, nothing makes our days easier than the coordinating set. Matchy-matchy=no fuss and the good news is there are endless combinations to mix and match the separates. Since the top and bottom are taken care of, it is fun to focus more on adding clashing combos with shoes and accessories.
Today’s skirt is by J.O.A. I bought it at a local boutique, and unfortunately cannot find it anywhere on the Internet. I have tried everything possible!! I am so disappointed!! The set is a light periwinkle blue with white pinstripes and I paired it with these strappy sandals with a colorful mix of gingham print…such a statement shoe.
I went on some of my favorite shopping sites and picked out my top choice sets below. I tried to only link outfits where both the top and the bottom were available in a variety of sizes (so you can buy both pieces obviously)
So…ready,set…..SHOP (it will make your Monday go by faster)

Hi Everyone!!
It's almost the weekend again, I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday. Unfortunately, I spent most of it working but that's ok, it's for the future., other than that I spent what was left with family and friends. I'm looking forward to getting back down to the shore and plans are in the making. We have been going as a family to Long Beach Island, New Jersey since I was a child. LBI is just so beautiful, relaxing and a place we can all get together and just hang out in a pair of shorts and a tee, go for a bike ride, happy hour or to the beach…I cannot wait.
Today's outfit is a combination of old and new. I have on a white tee that I paired with a blush vest and leather wrap necklace I borrowed from my mom. I love the vibe of these three pieces together…very cool yet still chic. I finally got my hands on a pair of cropped flare jeans. I found this pair at H&M. I love the raw hem (and the price makes them even better). This style pant looks great with tailored pieces and block heels for an off-duty denim style. Pure Jeanius.

Happy Thursday,
With the weather finally turning nice, it looks like summer is almost here. Yesterday I went on a seven mile hike to the top of Bucks Peak in Lake George. The view was breathtaking and I was able to get in some great exercise. Some of you were inquiring about my pants, they are not available through my site but you can go to the Adidas website to find them. They are part of the Dream Awaken collection by Pharrell Williams (really cool stuff) you are only allowed to purchase two pieces at once from the line. They were running a little large for me so I would watch my sizing, I ordered an extra small and I thought they were more like a size small so depending on your own body you might want to size down. Just food for thought if you don't want to worry about exchanging and then have them be no longer available.
Today's outfit is a black silk dress from rag and bone. This is one of those outfits where that big chunky jewelry I spoke about looks so good. I was going back and forth between the necklace I have on and one very similar from J.Crew(here) but in the end that little bit of gold stood out. The topper is a Eugenia Kim boater hat...(Love her hats). There is versatility in this dress, it is one that you could wear to a fancy event by just adding a pair of heels and depending whether or not it was a daytime or evening event, would determine my accessories. Today, I am wearing it very casual with a simple pair of black sandals, but it is so easy to take it from cute and feel good to a real WOW!!! number. Thanks for stopping by today and check out the links below.

I was shopping online recently and found these allover pom-pom overalls. I just had to get them because they were so different and cute, especially with the fringe along the bottom. Originally I wanted to pair them with pink but when I tried on this yellow top and then added the necklace it just felt like a breath of fresh air. After trying on a few different pair of sandals, I decided to go with these simple Kate Spade slip on's, they have a bit of fray to them, so I figured what a perfect match and the stones across the top are adorable. This is one of my favorite looks so far for the season. Simple, casual and cute…can't go wrong. I've also been doing some thinking about the things I wear and I've decided that I want to invest a little more in accessories to punch up my outfits. Where I would usually wear my David Yurman, I have started adding chunkier fun pieces of jewelry, purchasing a few new scarves and belts, plus I am just loving boater hats. Let's see where the summer takes me style wise, change is good and I want to try some new things. Let me know if you have any ideas or if there is anything in particular you would like to see. I always appreciate your thoughts and all of your support.

This is the kind of summer dress we all search for. It can be worn just about anywhere…from a festival, to dinner, and during the day with sandals. The geometric pattern in pale blush on this mini is playful and light hearted and detailed with delicate straps and ruffles. If you are not into shorter dresses it is also available in an ankle length version. You literally cannot go wrong.
If you remember from a previous Instagram post I had ordered these sandals and they were way too small. I re-ordered them because I loved them so much and went an entire size bigger…and thank goodness I did because they just fit. These pink and orange leather crisscross strap sandals from MSGM match almost to perfect, and the royal blue in the straps adds a little extra touch. These also are available in white with green and black with yellow. Shop below:

Well, it's back to a few days of chilly weather but luckily these photos were shot last week when it was much nicer and it's looking like it's going to change back soon, so yay for that because I am not in any hurry to go out and leave my comfy bed. I think I would rather just pull the covers up and hang right here for the day.
Today’s outfit screams summer with these wide leg wrap pants. I love how they move when the wind blows and the side slits allow for a little leg to show when you are walking, just a fun to wear summer pant. If this print may look a little familiar it is probably because it is very similar to the long pink maxi dress I wore a few weeks back (also shoppable below) Today I added a crop top with charming ties at the hem and a pair of wedges for a look that makes you feel like you belong at the ocean. I hope everyone gets through their Monday blues and enjoys the week. Thanks for stopping by.

With summer coming to end, there are some really great deals out there. Starting with Intermix, now 50% off sale, check it out. I was able to get these great sandals for only $64.00. I found this J.O.A. Varsity mesh sweater at Urban Outfitters and these adorable print trousers were from Zara. Putting this outfit together was so easy...I just added a tank from Banana Republic and jewelry by Chan Luu and Alexis Bittar. Hair up in a pony and my new monster bag for a touch of fun. I found this outfit to be perfect for a day when I'm running errands. Casual, fun and comfortable...unfortunately these items are already gone but I have found similar items I have listed below to make it easy. I also thought you might like a couple recommendations which are favorites of mine just in case you might be thinking of a warm weather get away as the seasons begin to change. Selections go quickly so get them while you can...
Happy Shopping!!

I just love a great mini skirt especially the combination of colors in this one. This flower print mini can be dressed up or down but I went with neutral sandals for a casual Friday look. The tasseled cuff on this pair adds a playful personality to an already fun summer skirt. The skirt sits pretty high on the waist so a knotted tee adds a fresh take on the average crop top today.
What are everyone’s plans for the weekend?! I arrived in the city last night with my boyfriend and plan on celebrating my 24th birthday this weekend with my sister and best friends!! I can’t wait! I hope everyone enjoys their weekend!
Thanks for stopping by!!

I feel like it has been forever since I have posted, but guess what…IM BACK!! I hope everyone has been enjoying these beautiful summer days. I cannot believe it is almost the middle of August already…the summer is flying by.
Thanks to Coach I get to enjoy the rest of my summer in style with my new blue aviators and metallic Mini Rhyder bag. I added my new accessories to a beachy and laidback look. I stayed pretty neutral with colors today and let the shimmer of the metallic pebble leather do all of the talking. I also attached a mixed-metal star key ring to my new bag because it adds a playful touch. This bag can be hand-carried or worn with the long strap (which I prefer). I have been investing in more bags that are crossbody style because they are so much easier in the middle of the hustle and bustle of New York City.
I Hope everyone has a great week!! Thanks for stopping by!!

Two Words: One Piece. An easy and must-have item for those brutal HHH days (hazy, hot and humid) as my photographer Dino Petrocelli would say. Once you find the perfect playsuit the rest of your work is easy. The one I am wearing today is by a brand called Eternal Sunshine Creations. It is very breezy and has a boho feel to it…very effortless yet still chic. For short styles like this, sandals and cute flats are an easy addition. Add your favorite sunnies and you are ready to take on the heat!
