White Pleated Maxi and Olive Jacket

June 19, 2015

Good morning, lovelies! I’ve been working a lot lately, picking up extra shifts where I can, so my apologies for not posting as often as I ‘d like! 6 days a week behind a desk has me daydreaming of outfits and color palettes, and definitely perusing an online sale or two in my downtime at the office 😉
I was able to steal a couple hours away this past weekend for some “me” time, which I crave after dealing with angry patients all week! This time, shooting with the delightful Holli Zenko, I wanted to play around with a couple of very casual items and turn them up a notch with loads of layered gold jewelry. I hope you enjoy!

Neon Florals and Rebecca Minkoff Bag

June 17, 2015

I’m so in love with the palette of this look, from the neon shades of the floral-print skirt to the icy lilac of my newest handbag acquisition from Rebecca Minkoff. I grounded those vibrant colors with black sandals and this great asymmetrical top, and I loved the effect. I wore this outfit for wandering around downtown in my city, sipping on an iced coffee and window-shopping.

DVF Maxi Gown and Platform Sandals

June 12, 2015

I’ve been waiting for a while now to find a photographer that I clicked with and I’m so happy to have found her! Miss Holli Zenko and I have known of each other for a while but it took me until a few weeks ago to get the idea to take her up on her incredible photography skills. For this inaugural shoot, I wanted to wear something breezy and colorful, which I definitely found in this Diane Von Furstenberg maxi dress. We had so much fun, took loads of great shots, and ended the afternoon with a glass of wine (or two!) For our next shoot, we’re going to play around with what will be the first in a series, One Item, Two Ways. I hope you all enjoy!
