STEAL VS. SPLURGE

SHOP THE POST

STEAL earrings // dress // handbag // shoes

SPLURGE earrings // dress // handbag // shoes

So I'm loving the earring trend right now and the best part is there are so many affordable options out there. Shopbop and Anthropologie are my favorite "go-to's" for the perfect pair right now. I bought these recently and I know I'll wear them all Spring/Summer. I LOVE these too in both colors! Paired with the perfect white dress and pretty sandals you can't go wrong. When I was searching for dresses I found this one for under $175 and had to order it. I've noticed that Anthropologie tends to sell out of small sizes pretty quickly but this one just hit the site and is fully stocked! Here is another pretty one from the same brand but the sizes are much more limited. 

PS You may have noticed the shopping widget below! You can now shop my posts in this super easy way and I also have a shopping page in the works!

STONE BARNS

BLUE HILL FARM

SO its been killing me that I haven't been able to shoot any fun Spring outfits for you guys! My last official day of work was yesterday and now its time to rest up and prepare for baby number 2! Although I really have no idea what to expect, I hope I'll be able to get right back to blogging and shooting because it miss I so much right now! 

Anyone who followed me on Instagram last summer knows that one of my favorite places to go on a sunny day is "the farm". I grew up only 10 minutes from the Rockefeller preserve in Westechester, NY and walking the trails became a tradition for me and my family. In the last 10 years it has transformed into a working farm, world renowned restaurant, and market. Recently Blue Hill (the restaurant) was rated number 11 in the world! Its a true culinary experience and perfect for celebrating a special occasion! BUT if you're just looking for a fun place to take the kids on a Saturday like we are, visit the grounds and be transported to the English countryside.  They have lots of activities scheduled during the weekends and we always make our way to the grain bar for lunch or a coffee (make sure you try the chocolate chip spelt cookies!).

HOW TO WEAR

SHOP THE POST

I love this look! As separates or worn together the pajama look is super chic for day or night. I styled silk pajama bottoms a lot this winter for clients wanting an elegant but casual evening look. We always paired it back to a light cashmere sweater. This pant from JCrew is a STEAL! I bought them before they went on sale but they're almost half the price now:) I'm going to live in them with a white T and denim jacket. 

How amazing are these tops though! And they can be purchased at any price point. I love this one from ASOS. This one is a bit of a splurge but I love the idea of an optional belt. This is such a great look for a Spring day shopping in the city, meeting girlfriends for lunch, or throw on a chic pair of earrings and take it into evening with a jeweled clutch.

THE DRESS ADDRESS

SHOP THE POST

As many of you saw on social media last week, I had the privilege of partnering with Lord & Taylor for Charity Day and hosting their Dress Address Fashion Show on Saturday. Their store in Stamford, CT was recently renovated and it is BEAUTIFUL! From their new restaurant to their super chic beauty floor, the store offers a luxury experience that made me feel like I was in New York City. The fashion show looks were curated by the in-house stylists who offer personalized consultations by appointment. The At Your Service team led by fashion veteran Kendra Porter is a phenomenal resource for anyone seeking wardrobe guidance in-store or online. Lord & Taylor is definetly the "dress address". If you're in the CT and have a special occasion this should be your first stop! See more of my top picks below (BTW my dress was not maternity and with the sale was under $150)!

Top Dress Picks

This one is similar to the lace one I wore but with a plunging neckline and the white is ON SALE! This style is so pretty and it looks like it should be four times the price. Perfect for Easter, graduations, and showers...I think I may pick it up for my niece's communion. BLACK TIE! Check out this gorgeous Jill Stuart gown. To me, if you like off-the-shoulder, this is the epitome of the perfect cocktail/black tie dress. I had never heard of this brand but this dress is so pretty and versatile! Dress it up with a heel or down with a pair of scrappy flat sandals.
