i present to you...

after participating in new york's fashion week for a few seasons now, the glitz, glamour, and allure have worn off just slightly. but that doesn't mean i don't get giddy seeing new and fabulous designs come down the runway! this season, i had the amazing opportunity to attend the kate spade presentation and it's safe to say having worked for the company on and off since 2012 (and only recently leaving in october) it was literally a dream come true! i had never attended the presentation before and was like a kid in a candy store walking in. but attending my first kate spade presentation, i couldn't show up in just anything! i originally had planned on wearing this dress but after trying it on, it was just a little too much for me. so i opted for this fun shirtdress that was beyond comfortable! which came in handy because in addition to being in front of the camera for part of the day, i had to wear it behind the camera as well!

leather and lace

5 more days!! eek! and i couldn't be more obsessed with these red lace pants! don't worry, i also got them in black too! these pants are the perfect alternative to any dress/skirt for the holidays and are optimal for large meals because of the elastic waist in the back...bring on all the peppermint brownies! just add a cozy sweater and a moto jacket and you can out-style all of your relatives without looking like you're trying too hard.

meet me in paris

as many of you know, these past few weeks i have been traveling like a crazy person all over europe. and i literally mean crazy because i had about 10 bags with me. but well before i left for europe, i was sure to get into the parisian mindset as paris was going to be my first stop! adding the smallest of accessory of this café scene scarf to my outfits before i left made me feel forever chic. oh, and i can't forget my little champs-élysées charm! i seriously cannot wait to start sharing all of my adventures from europe!

twinkle toes

i think we all know i'm not one to shy away from a fabulous and fun pair of heels but there are days when my feet just need a little break! and thus, i bring out the statement flat. a girl's trusty sidekick for being comfy yet still sparkly for any occasion. while organizing my shoes recently, i stumbled back upon this pair of that i bought about 2/3 years ago and completely forgot about! thankfully this striped dress paired so perfectly with them and gave me an excuse to break them back out!

lady and the lamps

i cannot believe it has nearly been two weeks since dana and i headed to los angeles for the veuve clicquot polo classic! this was the first time i ventured to this city on the west coast and truly didn't know what to expect. all i knew is that i need to stop at "the lampposts" and stuff my face at in-n-out burger. it was a short trip so time was limited but i made sure we carved out enough time to wake up at the crack of dawn to head over to the lacma where the posts are located. and don't worry...in-n-out burger was not long after!

slide by

one of my favorite shoe trends of the fall season was the slide: simple and easy, yet stylish and chic. so i was incredibly happy to see slides were not going anywhere in 2017. the takeover of the gucci slide (and shoutout to those who got them with the fur!) was overwhelming and it seemed like everyone and their mother had a pair...or at least the steve madden lookalikes. this was probably why i was never able to bring myself to purchase a pair. but these "gala" slides from kate spade certainly got my attention. they were everything i wanted and more in a pair of shoes yet somehow i struggled to commit.

jailbird

we had quite the blizzard a few weeks ago on the east coast, which put a little damper on my plans to visit the cherry blossoms in washington, dc. the blossoms were covered in a layer of ice causing a significant delay the peak days. but my train was booked and my friends were awaiting my arrival so there was no way i was about to reschedule! i went to plan b and simply visited some of my favorite locations in dc working with the incredibly talented laura metzler!

drop the pleats

one of my favorite pieces recently has been this polka dot skirt: simply because the dropped pleats are one part retro and one part feminine! i also am obsessed with this dress from kate spade also flaunting the dropped pleat trend. with the modern twist of mixing prints, it easily brings this skirt into the 21st century.
