Hi there! 

On Labor Day weekend I escaped to the CT shoreline (post Yankees vs Red Sox game where the Yanks killed! :) for a last summer beach day and it was the perfect occasion for this look. The Reformation dress I'm wearing is currently on sale and is called the "playa dress" so naturally I wore it to the beach! I finished the look with my Mallorcan sandals which I've been seeing everywhere in the US now. 

I've blogged about Ref before because I love how sustainable and eco friendly the company is, and their looks are just stunning!  I especially love the cutout and wrap detail of this dress.

Enjoy our last days of Summer, though I know in excited for Fall too!

Hi there!

Last weekend I went to the kickoff Polo match at the Greenwich, CT Polo club and got to hang out in the Audi VIP lounge which was really fun! I'll be there again this weekend with my boyfriend and family in case anyone wants to go! This Reformation look was my closing weekend of West Side Story dress and I'm completely obsessed with it. I love the peekaboo detail and stripes, which is right on trend! Also these nude wedges from Arezzo I got a while back in Brazil complete the look and elongate the line without being uncomfortable to wear in the grass. Nude wedges are a staple for summer and can be found at any shoe store!

This dress can also transition into fall nicely with a moto jacket or a cardigan and scarf! I will swap out the wedge for an ankle bootie then too:)

Hope you are all enjoying your end of Summer! I know I don't want it to be over so next week I'll be featuring a new company I started to work with and a fall yet still end of summer beachy causal look.

Hi there! 

One of my favorite colors this season (just like last fall) is burgundy. I incorporated this color and black into my look above. In it I styled my new Chanel burgundy and black ballet flats with my matching Celine mini Nano Luggage Tote, a pair of H&M paisley black and burgundy pants, and a black turtleneck cutout top and leather and cloth sweater from Brazil.  

Wearing ballet flats and going out to see Waitress the musical recently had me wanting to dance, and what's more appropriate than dancing on Broadway? Hehe. These flats were a great investment because they are a staple piece that is not only good quality and will last, but it won't go out of style. Trendy pieces I don't always buy designer, but a classic piece that lasts you end up getting your money's worth.

Style the burgundy trend in any way you like, and it goes really well with black, white, army green, and grey. You can color block it with another hue too, but to me I think more muted colors go well with it.  I even topped off my look with a new Sephora matte lip stain in a purple red that really popped with this look!

I hope everyone had an awesome Halloween!
