NYC/The Dress

NYC was wonderful. It was fabulous to be with friends and family and I felt very spoiled. I’m a bit exhausted today but so thrilled that I found the dress!

A few pictures from the trip…

What I’m Wearing Today

It’s chilly out so we must do something to brighten our mood. I love this little shift which can be integrated into all seasons. I don’t know about you but I cannot wait for warmer weather.

I always love to see examples of looking chic while fully bundled. I think this editorial featuring Anna Iaryn does exactly that.
