Date Night

February 7, 2014 by Emily Leave a Comment

Whether hanging with your sig-other or with your lady friends, I fully support + encourage dressing for Valentine’s Day. This year, as opposed to traditional pink or red, I have my heart set on a little white number, with some sweet pink accessories to stay in theme.

[ Topanga Tunic Dress, Lilly Pulitzer, $168 ]
[ Secret Garden Studs, Kate Spade, $58 ]
[ Statement Bib Necklace, Forever 21, $11 ]
[ Francesca Joy Citrus Clutch, York Design Co., $160 ]
[ Everly Suede Pumps, J.Crew, $245 ]

What will you be rocking this V-Day? Do you scoff at the sight of all this and avoid pink + red altogether this time of year?

Tipsy Tuesday No. 11: Galentine Bar Cart

February 4, 2014 by Emily 16 Comments

I’m sensing a seasonal project coming on… I loved the look of our bar “cart” all decked out at Christmastime, so I thought I’d try my hand at dolling it up for Valentine’s Day. My male roommate is far from impressed at its glitter-soaked girly-girl state, but how perfect would it be for a little Galentine’s Day party?

The heart garland is from a DIY workshop Kate hosted at West Elm this past weekend– more to come on that!

What do we think– St. Patrick’s Day next?? Could I serve as a stop on the annual St. Paddy’s pub crawls?

Fresh Florals

June 19, 2013 by Emily 16 Comments

This spring, a few occasions graced me with weekly fresh flowers on my desk, and I got so spoiled by the idea, that I’m now finding it necessary to always keep some there! They really can do a thing or two to brighten up a workspace.

pssst! This dress is now on sale here! Snag it for less than I did!

Seahorses, Scarves, & Summer

June 12, 2013 by Emily 28 Comments

Dress, Lilly Pulitzer [similar] | Scarf c/o Shawlsmith London | Purse, Kate Spade [similar] | Bracelet, Lilly Pulitzer [similar] | Navajo Midwedges, Jack Rogers

I bought this dress that I adore so much for a wedding last summer, and I hate buying dresses + outfits for occasions like such only to never wear them again. Problem is, I keep associating this dress with wedding-wear, so it feels too fancy for everyday.

Solution: A lightweight summer scarf, to subtly dress it down.

Shawlsmith London sent me this adorable Seahorse Stamp scarf, and it worked just perfectly with the sweet orange lining of this recycled dress!

[ might have matched my earrings to it… find similar ones here! ]

How fun is that print?

Some of my other current favorites from the Shawlsmith London line:

[ Cotton Candy Stripe, $96 | Seahorse Stamp in Sky, $52 | Bicycle, $52 ]

Do you layer with scarves in the summer, or are they a winter-only item in your closet?

See You Saturday

May 21, 2013 by Emily Leave a Comment

It’s taken me a while to decide how I feel about Kate Spade’s newest venture: Saturday. I’ve loved the Kate Spade brand since I was a little girl, and it’s been fun to watch it grow and change over the years. Saturday, rightfully so as a separate brand, is entirely different from anything I’ve seen Kate Spade present before. With very bold, graphic prints, it definitely does not speak to the “classic” styles you see as a part of the original Kate Spade line. But you have to admit, while exactly full of timeless pieces, the new brand is rather fun…::

[ Slip Neck Tee, $30 // Shirttail Tank, $30 // Gather-Round Top, $85 ]

[ The Skinny Jean in Highlighter Pink, $110 // Easy-Tapered Pant, $120 // The Skinny Jean in Yellow, $110 ]

[ iPhone Case in Fine Fellow, $25 // iPhone Button Stickers, $15 // Sneaks by PF Flyers, $65 ]

[ Small Top-Handle Satchel, $140 // Custom Weekender, $280 // Bucket Bag, $120 ]

[ Sexy Back Dress in Cubic, $180 // Scoopback Dress, $140 // Sexy Back Dress in Abstract, $180 ]

Talk about brights! I’m curious to know if their trademark highlighter yellow, pink, and black + white will stay the primary colors of the brand, or if they will eventually mix things up. And if anyone has made a purchase and can speak to the quality of the products, I’d love to hear!

What are your thoughts on the newest member of the Kate Spade family?

Lauren Puffer Vest, Lilly Pulitzer // Gingham Shirt, Vineyard Vines // Jeans, American Eagle // Starfish Headband, Vineyard Vines // Bracelets, Lilly Pulitzer; Kiel James Patrick, Alex & Ani // Desert Boots, Wild Diva [similar]

Pink puffer vest strikes again! Bright pinks like this and cheery blue gingham like this are the only things getting me through this horrid winter (ie. the only days it’s not snowing it’s raining with 40 mph wind instead). I’m looking forward to spring more than I can express in words, so right now I’ll let the vibrant colors and picnic-ready patterns do the talking…!

Birthday Bellini

Happy Valentine’s Day sweet readers! While so many find Valentine’s Day ridiculous, I happen to love the holiday. Whether you are in a romantic relationship or not, I fully believe today is about celebrating the people in your life who bring you love– whoever that may be. Enjoy it! xx

Pick me up at 8

February 7, 2013 by Emily Leave a Comment

I’m super excited to be participating in a contest with French Connection and Gilt City this week! Participants were asked to come up with a Pinterest board showcasing a look made up of their favorite items from FCUK’s new line, while sticking to a $1000 budget. Everyone is so big on dresses for Valentine’s Day, but I thought it might be fun to pair a sweet pink skirt with a comfier top, and add some crystal jewelry made with Swarvoski elements to keep it dressy. I would LOVE for you to head on over to the contest and vote for my outfit. If your name is selected, you could win this entire look!

[ Alex Knitted Jumper, $128 ]
[ Loving Crochet Pencil Skirt, $168 ]
[ Colville Cross Body Bag, $238 ]
[ Crystal Stretch Bracelet, $130 ]
[ Crystal Stud Earrings, $40 ]
[ Nina Leather Heels, $120 ]

Thank you so much for your support!! xx
