Think Pink

Top:  H&M (similar love this one), Shorts:  Anthropologie (similar here), Shoes:  Zara (similar here), Bag:  Rebecca Minkoff, Belt:  H&M (similar here), Watch:  DKNY (similar here)

How adorable are these pink shorts?!?  When I saw them in Anthropologie a few weeks ago, I knew they would be coming home with me.  The length was perfect ~ booty shorts are not my thang ~ and the color was so vibrant it instantly brightened my day!

I got stuck in the rain several times on Saturday, so I channeled my inner 80's child (hence the side pony).

Happy Wednesday!!

The Marvelous Maxi

Dress:  Rachel Pally (old, similar here), Fedora:  Urban Outfitters (similar here), Necklace:  House of Harlow, Clutch:  Madison Elizabeth (similar here, here)

I apoligize for the lack of posts this past week.  With the school year coming to a close and summer vacay around the corner, we have had events almost every night and all weekend long! 

This is my go-to uniform for summer events.  A great maxi can be dressed up or down and they are super comfortable.  I picked this one up years ago on major sale and I wear it way too oftern.  Whether to a BBQ, outdoor shower, or an afternoon spent at the winery, maxis are perfect for every occasion.

Lately, I feel like the humidy in NJ has been at 110%, so I threw the fedora on to cover up a terrible hair day!

Looks Can Be Deceiving

Top:  H&M (similar here), Pants:  J.Crew (similar here), Bag:  Rebecca Minkoff, Shoes:  Zara, Necklace:  Anthropologie (this one is on my wishlist!)

Although my look may suggest that I am watching something interesting and pondering something intelligent, the truth is that I was looking at a gaggle of geese approaching our yard looking as if they were ready to destroy our lawn and thinking to myself, "Oh crumb!  I'm going to have to chase them away in these heels!!"  Hahaha ~ looks can be deceiving!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!!

Sunday Fun-day

Top:  J.Crew, Pants:  Zara (similar here), Shoes:  Zara, Belt:  H&M, (similar here) Necklaces:  Madewell (similar here), Cross Necklace (similar here), Bag:  LV Speedy, Sunnies:  Ray-Ban, Watch:  DKNY (similar here)

My husband owns his own business, which means he typically works six sometimes even seven days a week.  Sunday is the only day when we get to spend the majority of the day together.  We often spend the morning in Warwick ~ a quaint town in Orange County NY full of boutiques, antique shops, and charming cafes.  We start with brunch at our favorite French cafe and then head over to the farmer's market which they host from May to October.  Today we picked up some homemade beef jerky and ravioli to go with wine from the best winery in the area.

Needless to say, Sunday is definitely my favorite day of the week! 

What do you enjoy doing on your day off?

Day to Night, Black and White

Dress:  H&M, Shoes:  Zara, Bag:  Rebecca Minkoff, Necklace:  ColorblockShop on Etsy, Bracelet:  Vintage (my mother's)

Dress, Belt, Shoe & Earrings:  Anthropologie, Necklace:  Luluka on Etsy

It's funny how similar these two outfits appear but they serve very different purposes in my wardrobe. 

 I love the cutout back, faux leather accents and accordian pleats of the first dress.  I wore it recently for a dinner that I attended with my husband.  Next time I think I would pair with this necklace in black {my sister-in-law was borrowing mine at the time} instead of the neon, and keep the black and white theme throughout.

The second dress is ideal for summertime at work.  I love a cotton shirt dress and I paired it with a fun flower belt to give the outfit a little pop. 

Hope everyone is staying cool!

Memorial Day

Top:  Anthropologie (similar here), Skirt:  J.Crew (similar here), Shoes:  Christian Louboutin, Bag:  Unknown brand (similar here), Bracelet:  SpikethePunch on Etsy, Nails:  Essie 'Action'

I must confess, I didn't actually wear this outfit today.  Reality:  I spent the entire weekend in bikinis, sandals and maxi dresses at my in-laws' lake house.  The weather was beautiful and my husband and I enjoyed a fun-filled weekend with our nieces and nephews.

I picked up this blouse and skirt last week and thought that they would look fantastic together.  Both of these pieces are versatile, so I expect to get a lot of use out of them for the LAST MONTH OF SCHOOL!!  Then it's back to bikinis and maxis almost every day ;-)

Last but certainly not least, thank you to all of the men and women who have served our country to protect our freedom ~ hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day!
