Happy Monday, loves! This weekend flew by in a flash. Seriously, why does this always happen with the weekends?! For any mama's out there, I hope you had an amazing Mother's Day! I was able to celebrate my first one with family and close friends. They made the day absolutely magical with a brunch they put together and let me tell you, the details were incredible. I'll have to post some pictures from it later on. Below are two images of Ava and I from my instagram. My dad got me some flowers and also cooked a nice lobster dinner. It's a day that will go down in the memory books.

Ever since the cherry blossoms bloomed, all of my outfits seem to be revolving around pink! Not a bad thing ;) This skirt reminds me of candy stripes with its flirty feminine details. I went for a dressier vibe with heels and a silk bow tie blouse, but this skirt could also be dressed down with some cute flats and a chambray top. I've been obsessed with these color blocked heels ever since I got them! The bright colors are so fun and put a smile on my face. Plus, no pain after walking around all day in them!

Dreamy Pink

Pink Crop Top and Skirt Set || Kate Spade Bag || AMI Clubwear Sandals c/o || Karen Walker Sunnies via Shop Ditto (Similar Here) || Jackie Kennedy Unity Band || Rumba Time Watch c/o || Ava's Gingham Dress ||

Happy Friday, all! Finally, we made it to the weekend! For all of the beautiful mother's out there, happy mother's day to you! Being a mother is one of the most rewarding things I've ever done. Having Ava gave me a whole new perspective on life and she still enlightens me with new thoughts and dreams every day.

This crop top and skirt set is absolutely dreamy. It was the perfect day to wear this set with the warm sunshine and pretty cherry blossoms at their peak. My dad and I took Ava for a walk so we could all experience the blossoms at their finest. As soon as the warm weather hits I also grab all of my straw bags out. I'm really craving summer right now! The black leather and straw combo with gold hardware is chic and a great size as a carry around town bag. I usually shy away from crop tops, but this set feels classy enough with only a slight bit of skin showing. I've mentioned this before, but I totally love how you can mix and match the top and skirt with different items in a set. Makes it a two for one deal!

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

Blue Striped Dress

Humble Chic Striped Dress c/o || Pink Trench Coat || Wedges also these HERE || Karen Walker Sunnies via Shop Ditto sold out (Similar Here) || Humble Chic Blue Clutch c/o || Jackie Kennedy Unity Band || Humble Chic stud Earrings c/o || 

If you live on the east coast then I'm sure you've been experiencing the rain and cooler temps that we've been having. What happened to all of the nice warm weather?!? I'm crossing my fingers for spring to return soon!

My most favorite color combo is blush and blue. The bright royal blue of this dress and clutch really pop beautifully against a neutral color like blush. This dress has a classic cool French girl feeling with the stripes and fitted style. It is a bit on the shorter side so taller girls may find this to be too short for them. Anything with stripes reminds me of either nautical or Parisian styles. Sometimes when I'm traveling light, I'll opt for a smaller bag like this wristlet to carry all of my essentials. I can usually fit my phone, keys, lipstick, mirror, credit cards, and cash without hassle. On this particular day, I took a quick trip with Ava down to Josie's Italian Water Ice for some gelati. I let her taste some of the vanilla gelato and she loved it!

Happy Monday, all! Lately, I've been drawn to off the shoulder tops/dresses for their easy breezy style. The tassel trim is what really caught my eye when I was viewing this dress. I mean, how fun are they?! I always picture myself wearing an item to a specific event when I'm considering buying it. Does anyone else do this? This dress, I pictured myself at the beach browsing around shops and taking in a dinner al fresco with the sea breeze gently fluttering my dress and hair. I really want summer to get here, haha! These slider sandals are my new favorite go-to for a simple, yet stylish look. The eye catching bright colorful sequin detail with the two piece upper and open toe makes these an on trend staple you'll want to wear all summer long!

Little White Dress + Chanel

Design History White Dress c/o (Also love this one) || Chanel Handbag via Trendlee || Similar Blue Heels || Karen Walker Sunnies via ShopDitto (Similar Here)  || Chloe and Isabel Earrings c/o || Jackie Kennedy Unity Band ||  

If there was one handbag that I have always set my sights on, it would be a Chanel. I've dreamed of owning my own for as long as I can remember. Simply saying the name Chanel brings to mind class and elegance. I could never afford a new Chanel bag, or most high end designers for that matter, but a used one in mint condition? Now that is all together possible! Trendlee is an online destination where you can buy or sell pre-owned designer luxury handbags at a fraction of the cost. I never would have been able to tell the bag I had was pre-owned. Only items that are in excellent to very good condition are sold. Also, authenticity is taken very seriously and guaranteed. I'm completely in love with the silver and bright blue combination of the bag I'm wearing. While a large investment, designer handbags are a timeless piece of any wardrobe that can be passed down for generations to come.

I've been smitten with little white dresses lately. Every time spring and summer rolls around, I always start to gravitate towards them. The crisp fresh feeling they evoke has me head over heels! Adding in a pop of color keeps the look youthful and fun.

Kub Klub

Kub Klub Box c/o || Ava's Dress ||

I always love posts where I get to include Ava in them. She's quite the little rug rat now so getting photos of her is a bit more difficult haha. As soon as I opened the Kub Klub box for Ava, she immediately went over to explore what goodies were inside. She was so excited! She actually grabbed the stevia sweetened face wipes first and wanted to bite on those for a while. Kids are so funny sometimes. I could buy her an expensive toy and she'll end up wanting to play with a shoe box lol. What I love about Kub Klub is that they take the worriment out of "is this safe for my baby?" by searching for the highest quality baby gear around. Possible selections for each month are baby's first books, age-appropriate toys, teethers and pacifiers, mealtime accessories, healthy snacks, sippy cups and bottles, safe soaps and sanitizes. Included in this months box was:

• The Jungle Book
• Feltman + Co Teether
• Little Grippers (socks)
• Hevea- Natural Star Ball
• Neat Cheaks (face wipes)

The first step is to join with either a 1,3,6, or 12 month plan with goodies tailored to the baby's age. These are great gifts for baby showers or to have as a little excitement each month for your little one. The boxes are then shipped on the 10th of every month and shipping is free. Always a plus for me! I love seeing Ava's face light up when she sees something new. I cannot wait to keep giving her that light each month with Kub Klub.

Tropical Floral

AMI Clubwear Tropical Romper c/o || AMI Clubwear Heels c/o || Sosie turquoise Bucket Bag c/o || Rumba Time Watch c/o || Jackie Kennedy Unity Band || Bracelet ||  Lip Color ||

Happy Monday, friends! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. It always feels as if the weekend goes by in a blur of activity. I spent mine writing out thank you cards (so many!), having a meet and greet with some old time New York Yankee players, and taking a Sunday stroll with my dad and Ava to see the cherry blossoms that have finally bloomed in our area. They're absolutely beautiful.

One thing I love about rompers is that they're an outfit all in one! Very similar to a dress, but with shorts instead. This vibrant tropical print has me thinking of all things beach and summer related. Not to mention the material is silky and incredibly soft. The shoes and bag play off of the bright colors found in the romper. Can we take a moment to admire these heels too?! The color blocking trend started a few years back and has been going strong ever since. Done right, it can look very chic and put together. The colors used in these heels are some of my favorite and so easy to pair with different ensembles. For $9.99, they are a clear winner. I also walked around one of the local parks in these and found them to be pretty comfortable. No blistering at all! I'm also loving the little gold tassel detail on the turquoise bucket bag. This bag is another great use of "pop of color." With this outfit, I wanted everything to be vibrant and colorful. Think if you were wearing an all white or all black ensemble and then added in this bag. Its a great way to break up an outfit and has so much space inside.

Picnic in the Park

Gingham Top || Gingham Shorts || Lace Up Heels || Saddle Bag || Karen Walker Sunnies via Shop Ditto (Similar Here) || Lands Downunder Polka Dot Throw c/o || Rose Wine Glasses || Vant Jag Earrings c/o || Jackie Kennedy Unity Band || Otter Box iPhone Case c/o ||

Happy Friday, friends! A few days ago, I got to take Ava for a picnic at our local park to enjoy an afternoon out together. The weather could not have been more splendid. I packed all kinds of goodies that would be tasty for snacking/lunch time. There were berries, brie, crackers, a salad, macarons, and some wine. Ava even had her little lunch of formula too! She was asleep when we first got there, so I let her nap in the stroller while I set up with this gorgeous pink polka dot throw. It is seriously one of the softest blankets I've ever felt. Plus, its reversible making it like getting two throws for one. The cute fringe on the ends, along with the dot patter, puts such a big smile on my face. This was not planned, but did you see Ava's sun hat? It matches the blanket!

When I first saw this gingham top and short set, I thought wouldn't they look great together on a picnic!? I've been totally smitten with gingham lately, too. As I mentioned before, the print has that summery feeling and what is more summery than a fun filled picnic on a warm afternoon. What I love about a matching set is that I can wear each piece separately to create so many different outfits! The top is slightly cropped and has a boxy look to it. The shorts  are high waisted and super comfortable. They even have a retro vibe to them, which is right up my ally ;)

Gingham Dress

Gingham is one of those prints that instantly brings to mind spring and summer. Memories of sunshine filled days spent outside enjoying life. This past weekend I got to make some new memories while wearing this black and white gingham dress, which was perfect for the occasion. My dad, Ava, Caitlin, and I all went to the Poconos for breakfast, antiquing, stopped for some ice cream, took a side trip to see a lake, and arrived home just in time for dinner. We had a great time.

The one worker at the antique store said he loved my vintage themed outfit and how perfect it was for the spring weather. For under $30, the quality of the fabric is great and has a fun filled and fancy free feeling to it. I'm already planning all of the different ways I'll be wearing this dress all summer ranging from tan accessories like I have here, to pops of red, or even all black. This dress is a maxi style, which worried me because of my height (i'm 5'2) but I added some wedges and had no problem at all, plus they are super comfy! I'm also wearing a size XS and found it to be a little bit tight. I probably could have gone with a small and had a bit more breathing room.

This is one of those looks that really appeals to my classic and nautical side. The soft jersey material of the dress feels so good and comfy, I never want to take it off! You could wear this to the office or out to dinner and drinks and never miss a beat. Simply swap out flats for some heels and you have a flawless day to night ensemble. The diamond stud earrings and star necklace are both delicately sweet and add a subtle amount of shine to your everyday wear.

I hope everyone has been enjoying the beautiful weather! I take Ava and my dad's dog Belle out everyday. I feel like we've all been waiting so long and now we have to soak up every ounce of it.

Happy Monday, friends. I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. We were blessed with some amazingly beautiful weather and I made sure to spend as much of it outside as we possibly could. There were many walks, ice cream dates, drives to enjoy scenery, antiquing, and to finish it off a lovely bbq where we dined al fresco as the sun set.

There is something so incredibly romantic about white lace. It's hard not to feel lovely and feminine in it. The details of this dress definitely make it a knock out choice. The floral patterned lace with a lattice trim make this a swoon worthy option. I'm already planning the multiple places I'll be wearing it! I've been sporting these white criss cross heels non-stop lately too. They're my go-to choice for basically everything I've been wearing. They pair so well with an endless variety of outfits and no doubt will be in constant rotation for the spring and summer.

Pineapples and Sail Boats On My Mind

Happy Friday, everyone. We're supposed to be having some pretty amazing weather this weekend which means I'll be outdoors for most of it. Perhaps even a picnic may be in order. I have such fond memories of picnics with my family growing up and I hope to give Ava some of those same memories as she grows up. I cannot wait. Bring on the warm weather!

There is nothing more classic American than the white t-shirt and jeans outfit. A fun twist on the look is adding a customized pocket to the tee for some added cool factor. I chose the pineapples and sail boats for mine. Both represent summer to me, which I am patiently waiting to get here! I've worn these so many times already while running around getting errands done. They're so easy to throw on, head out the door, and know you have a unique and timeless look. The fabric is nice a thick too. I've never been a fan of sheer white tees so these were right up my alley.

First and foremost, I want to thank everyone for their incredible support, thoughts, and prayers during this difficult time. I've received so many kind messages and they truly are a bright spot in my day. Ava and I are getting by, taking it one day at a time. She's been busy growing and becoming quite the little rugrat too. Staying busy helps get through each day. The weather has turned around finally and I've been getting out with Ava as much as I can. She really enjoys being outside. It feels good to be out with her and getting some sunshine and fresh air. 

I really love this combo and think it looks so chic for a date night out with your significant other or girl friends. The black shirt dress is easy to style and comfortable to wear. On its own, its a simple little dress, but with a pop of color and a jazzy blazer, it instantly transforms into a knockout ensemble. The pearl clover necklace could be your lucky charm! Its delicate enough for everyday wear and shines brightly against the black dress.

I hope everyone has been doing well. I look forward to re-connecting with everyone and again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for the outpouring of love.

Happy Thursday, loves! It's almost the weekend and boy is my plate going to be full! Not only is it Easter weekend, but my dad's birthday also falls on Easter day this year. I've been busy planning out Sunday, making sure to include both festivities into the day.  Does anyone else have any plans for the holiday?

Speaking of this weekend, I'm wearing here what I consider to be my weekend wardrobe staples. A chic button down (extra points for chambray!), skinny jeans, and a pair of heels. I'm crushing on this chambray shirt because of how soft it is and the pretty pearlized buttons. It's those little details that count. It's great for being able to throw on and run out the door or even to dress up with a skirt. I can envision this top with a bright pop of color skirt or even a white one for spring. The possibilities are endless, which is one of the top reasons I'll buy an item. If I can envision myself wearing the item a few different ways and with different items in my closet, then I'm 100% more likely to buy it haha. The accessories make this outfit feel fun with a pop of color from the bag and blue sorbet earrings, to the on trend tassel necklace in a beautiful creamy shade of ivory.

Black Lace Dress

Black Lace Dress c/o Other favorites here || Bag || Similar Heels || Polette Sunnies c/o || Rumba Time Watch c/o || Jackie Kennedy Unity Band || Humble Chic Earrings c/o ||  Lip Color ||

I've always been such a fan of lace. It's completely feminine and delicate. This dress is so stunning with a high-low hem and cinched in waist. The pictures do not do it justice! An intricate leaf design weaves its way through the lace making for a beautiful pattern. Whenever I wear black and white ensembles, I always feel very Parisian. When I saw these sunnies from Polette, I knew I had to have them. I actually needed a new black pair and love how they're outlined in white. The best part? They're only $16.99! They're able to keep the cost down by creating their own lenses, prescription frames for sunnies and everyday glasses are available too, and ship them directly to the customer. The shipping takes about 2 weeks since they're located in France and now looking to expand all over the world. Mine are prescription free since I wear contacts. I do wish the frames were a bit darker, but I love how big they are haha. I'm a fan of bigger sunnies and like how these sit on my face.

I'll also be giving away a pair of their sunglasses or glasses on instagram so make sure to check that out!

On a little side note, I took this photo of Ava and I when I was done photographing the outfit. I thought it would be cute to show you where she always is when I'm out getting outfit shots. We usually take a walk afterwards as long as the weather is nice, i.e. not snowing ;) Regardless of what I'm wearing, we'll take a walk for as long as she's ok. Sometimes, she starts to get fussy, but usually we're able to get one in. Remember the blush formal dress from yesterday? We even did a walk in that haha. I love being able to have her by my side. She's like my little side kick blog buddy <3

Happy Tuesday and happy spring!! I'm so excited for the beautiful blossoms and warm weather to start arriving. Yesterday, we actually had some snow flurries and my heart instantly sank. No more snow haha!

This dress is pure formal elegance. I felt very first ladylike while wearing it! It's a very soft shade of blush with a navy tie at the wasit to break it up. I particularly love the ruching along the side. It's a beautiful detail to add to a simple and sophisticated look. The dress is modest and alluring all at the same time, which makes it a winner in my book!

Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a fun St. Patrick's day. The weather was horrible in my neck of the woods with multiple thunder storms, but once they stopped, Ava and I did manage to make it out for a walk before the temps drop this weekend. If you saw my post on Instagram two nights ago about how I only got 3 1/2 hours of sleep because I could not put a book down, it was because of this book: Hollywood Dirt. I already finished it and have to say it was one of my favorite recent reads. I tend to devour books in one or two sittings. Has anyone else ever started a book and simply could not put it down?! I cannot be the only one haha. 

This past weekend felt like summer had arrived. I immediately went to put on this beautiful off the shoulder crochet top from The Mint Julep Boutique. The detailing is really what drew me in plus the pretty feminine flair. Off the shoulder tops are a trend that is still going strong too. The colors I always associate with spring and summer are white with pops of color. White has a fresh and clean feeling while the pops of color jazz up the outfit. I've been wearing this fuchsia bag everywhere lately. It fits all of my essentials without being bulky and hits right where I want a cross body to. How cute are the duster earrings too?! I love the blush color. It's the perfect statement earrings for an off the shoulder top.

One trend that springs up this time of year (no pun intended ) are floral prints. I love the pretty pink and red rose print and how flowy this dress is! The little collar is darling too. The pleats and flouncyadd a nice touch of whimsy. I went for all bright pink accessories to have a very feminine flair. I really love monochromatic type looks actually. There's something very fun about them! Dresses like this always have a classy feel and can be worn just about anywhere from brunch out with the girls, to date night, or even to church. It really is very versatile.

I wore this out while Justin and I were in Jim Thorpe for the day. I had an oral surgeonconsultation appointment nearby and we decided to head there afterwards. It was the perfect day to just browse around the little shops, grab a bite to eat, and enjoy some latte's while strolling up and down the charming streets.
