Cold Shoulders








Oh hello there!  Thanks so much for all your kind words over my last post with Tobi!  Today I'm bringing you look #2 in this fun series of transitional season outfits! Now, I'm not sure if you're aware but - hold on to your hats - I turned 30 last November.  Okay, so you're probably not at all surprised (but my fingers are crossed that you are because I've been really investing in skincare lately!) but the point is not to draw attention to my fleeting youth but rather to make you aware that I'm getting a little old for mini-dresses.  Let's get real - it's not like I really wore mini dresses any.  But now that I'm venturing into this new decade I'm painfully aware of the youthful styles that I just can't conquer. As you've probably guessed already, this is where my handy pair of favorite denim comes in!  Yes ladies, this means you can buy those super cute mini dresses that you want to wear but know that it will barely cover your behind. Layer those bad boys over your favorite pair of jeans and suddenly you have a tunic that is perfect for this completely unpredictable spring weather! Brilliant, I know!

This was 100% the revelation I had while shopping on Tobi to pick out the styles I wanted to wear in collaboration with them.  I wanted to be true to myself and my own personal style to inspire you to do the same. While Tobi has lots of incredibly cute mini-dresses and rompers that are perfect for a 20-something, we 30-somethings can shop here, too! This dress is so amazing! The cold shoulder is completely on trend right now and could you just die over the little ties on the sleeves? Pro tip: have a girlfriend nearby if you plan to tie them in bows instead of just knotted. ;)  I highly recommend that you pop over and take a look at their cute collection of dresses and consider how you can creatively wear them with your wardrobe! I can't help but suggest this bell-sleeved black one and this lacy white one - they're both in my shopping cart right now!

[Buffalo] Check It Out!



Anthropologie top (old but like this and this)
Anthropologie skirt (out of stock but also like this one)
Urban Outfitters shoes (out of stock but like these)


It's officially fall now and although I may be guilty of drinking PSLs and outfit planning with all my sweaters & scarves, I'm actually still in the transitional dressing phase here in NYC.  I went out for a yummy dinner in Long Island City with my pal Aly recently and she was so kind to snap these photos for me. She has an incredible food blog called Grassfed Kitchen which is based around a Paleo diet.  I'm always inspired when I'm on her site because the food always looks delish & her photography is so gorgeous. If you're at all interested in eating Paleo - or just love good food - I highly suggest you check out her site & follow her on Instagram!

But back to the outfit!  I picked up this skirt from Anthro in the spring and have seriously worn it weekly ever since.  I know I'm not going to have a chance for many more bare-legged days so I'm sad thinking it's going to be temporarily retired soon (the winter dread is the realest).  One thing that will not be retired,  however, is this new necklace from Happiness Boutique!  You guys, I'm so obsessed with this beauty and literally did the outfit planning for this look in a dream.  I never do that but it happened and I'm so thrilled with how it all turned out!

In case you don't know, Happiness Boutique is an online boutique with a wealth of fashion jewelry goodness.  They're based in Germany and when they first reached out to me I was honestly super hesitant initially because I just assumed the shipping costs would be a deal-breaker for frugal shoppers like myself.  But shipping is free. I repeat, international shipping is free! Yasss! So I quickly snagged this blingy statement necklace because why not and soon welcomed it into my jewelry collection.  I'm super impressed with this company and have a mile long list of other necklaces and earrings that I want to order.  Below you'll find a few of my favorites.  You can thank me later! ;)

Happiness Boutique also has a pretty cool rewards program where you can earn points by shopping, reviewing, and sharing on social media.  You can then cash in the points for free jewelry which makes the whole thing pretty awesome if I do say so myself.  You can learn more about the rewards program here.

Lastly, I've been spending most of my time over on YouTube lately.  While more frequent blog posts are in the works, you should definitely subscribe to my YouTube channel so you don't miss out on all the fun over there!

See you soon!

The Perfect DENIM Shirtdress



Anthropologie dress
Steve Madden sandals (old but love these)
Ray-Ban sunnies
Michael Kors watch
Target bag (old but love this one)

Is this the most comfortable dress in the history of ever?  Why yes, yes it is!  Does it have pockets and twirl perfectly? Why yes, yes it does! With a pop of red does it become the greatest dress for your 4th of July parties? Ahhh YES!!  Basically this dress is everything and I'm in love. #cantstopwontstop
