Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting one of the most lovely properties in my hometown. The proprietors, friends of my photographer, were gracious enough to invite us in to their magnificent manor and serve us a home-cooked meal. We took a few moments to explore the grounds, and I was overwhelmed by the views and verdant landscape. We figured what better time to take a few shots of my look for the evening; a lace & satin cocktail dress, suede kitten heels, and some diamonds around my wrist to celebrate Monday at the mansion.
On another note, I wanted to share some fantastic news. I’ve been working on several collaborations that I CAN NOT WAIT for you all to see! First up is a post on how to wear white after Labor Day, which will be up tomorrow, featuring a work look that is perfect for the impending cooler weather, featuring selections from retailer Simply Be. After that, I’ll be working on a couple of posts featuring some amazing LBD’s from Maggy London, and how to take them from day to night. Soon I’ll be shooting some transitional summer-to-fall looks highlighting gorgeous jewelry from Ronnie M, a local line of handmade wrap bracelets with stones and beads. I love being able to share items from lines that I already shop, and brands that I believe in.

Nothing feels quite like the beginning of spring like a floral print maxi dress. This one in particular, with the high slits that allow a breeze to pass through, the bright and cheery pattern, and the fluttering kimono-like sleeves.. It’s pretty much love all around. I also love that you can dress it up a bit, with some crystal-emblazoned accessories, or down, with just some flip-flops to lounge poolside.
