If I could wear one brand for all of summer it would hands down be Joie. Their high quality, affordable pieces are absolute perfection. From classic stripes, to gorgeous white lace, to kitschy race cars the brand fits all styles…

My musts:

- Neilson black jumpsuit: perfect for a breezy morning on the patio with coffee, transition to cover up, and round out the day with some silver jewels and a pair of high heels.

- Quince suede mini dress: absolute perfection in a mini, luxe brown suede that is ultimate California cool girl style.

- Portia lace long sleeve dress: there’s nothing I love more than a long sleeve mini and this feminine dress is the sweetest piece of all. Pair with sky high espadrilles, or gold flats for an adorable look for any occasion.

They also have an amazing sale going on right now so head over to Joie.com + pick out your favorite summer looks now!

With all the rain, long hours at work, and packed social schedule I have been counting down the days and now HOURS until the long weekend. The next four days I’ll be venturing from the Hamptons, Connecticut, and New Jersey over the weekend and cannot wait for hours on end of reading, listening to music, and having far too much fun with my best friends.

It’s not quite summer here in New York, so I’ll be stashing the stars and stripes until 4th of July but here are a few inspiration images for how to spend your weekend…

Have a happy + safe Memorial Day, and through your fun please remember the fallen soldiers and those who serve in order for our safety!

Any one who has spent more than five minutes with me knows I’m a crazy sports fan: the San Francisco Giants, the New Orleans Saints, the Boston Celtics, and most recently the New York Rangers. With both the NBA + NHL playoffs currently happening, I’ve been spending a lot of time at sports bars or at games themselves. There’s always one thing I find off when I’m there- that one girl wearing the sky high stilettos, mini skirt, super low cut top, or something of that nature. Now I’m not saying that a girl should own any jerseys, especially if they’re not an actual fan. But there’s a time and a place for a body con dress, and a baseball game is not one of them.

Leave the fashion forward looks at home and go girl next door. Here are my favorite looks when heading to the ball park or stadium…

Any sporting event for me is the perfect date. To any guys reading out there, I would much rather go to any sports game over a fancy dinner any night. I also am a huge advocate for tickets or activities being the best present for any occasion. Or, get your best friends and head outside for an unconventional girls night out. Just don’t let me see you there in stilettos, haha! xx

Ever since I was little I’ve always been a jewelry girl, having my few pieces I wear everyday. Right now my everyday is my Michael Kors watch that my mother gave me this past Christmas. Despite never wearing a watch before, it’s now one of those pieces I feel naked without.

This Spring I have been unable to stop myself from purchasing delicate necklaces, actually buying 3 in the last 3 weeks! From a cheapie H&M arrow to my gorgeous Sydney Evans, this Spring I’ve been wearing a thin necklace every day. For some reason, all of my necklaces are also gold, so apparently I need to switch it up a bit. As much as I love my chunky, statement jewelry, sometimes it’s just as nice to wear one lone simple but chic piece, or pair my delicates to make a lightly layered look that is still casual.

My newest favorite is this delicate little bow, isn’t it sweet?!

Will you be wearing statement or delicate necklaces this Spring?!

Fringe, sequins, silks create the basis for a dreamy wardrobe from a time, long ago. With high anticipation for the Great Gatsby movie out later this year, this Spring trend is the perfect way to tide us over before seeing Leo on the big screen. With a soft palette, sheer silks and pajama-inspired pieces are simple but chic in an understated way. The Row (below) shows you that a simple loose pant can make menswear sexy. A bit more of my style is the feminine fringe, and sequin patterns that can work from day to night. Whether a fringe mini, or a breathlessly beautiful Oscar de la Renta gown you can transition the trend into any day wear.

Remember loose fits, pale colors, and sneaks of skin when you’re buying this style. Here are a few pieces to purchase to try the trend…
