The Right... Weekend Exploring Look

I'm really excited to share my first outfit from our trip to Lexington!  I'm working on a full recap post (including our amazing Bourbon Trail adventures and alllll the great food we ate) but first up is what I wore for a morning of exploring the city.  I had an 11 mile run scheduled that weekend so while I did my grand tour around UK (literally loops and loops around the UK campus and the arboretum) Jackie, Jen and James found a new coffee shop and took blog pics near the super cute Gratz Park area.  And since they're such good friends, they took me back so I could snap my outfit before brunch (I was also secretly letting them scope it out first ;) ).  Gratz Park is a cute little area of town which reminded us a lot of Washington Square Park with the old architecture.

I decided to rock my sneakers that morning because #LongTrainingRun and I have to admit, this outfit has me really excited to wear them more this fall.  Since I wear heels so much more during the week at work, I need to save my feet every chance I get (especially after pounding out double digit runs!).

The Right... Weekend Wear

Summer is in full swing over here and I feel like I've been busier than ever.  I've been at the new job for FOUR weeks already (time seriously flies) and it's been a huge priority for me to get settled and focus on doing well.  I've also made sure to be as social as possible to try to remedy what I talked about in this post.  It hasn't been hard at all because summer in NYC is probably the busiest time of year with a gazillion things going on at all times.  


Since I've been dressing a lot more professional at work, I'm taking advantage of weekends to dress down a bit.  I usually don't love wearing shorts but this pair have been the perfect relaxed solution for the hot, busy summer.  What have you guys been up to?  Any fun trips planned?  I'm off to Vegas for a super quick trip for a bachelorette party - wish me luck that I survive!

As promised, I'm still working on that mini career series so stay tuned!

The Right... Fall Stripes

I am seriously thanking Mother Nature as I draft this post because aside from a few unexpectedly cold days our transition to the dead of winter has been pretty smooth.  So much so that I haven't had to pull out the tights yet (but I don't think I'll be that lucky much longer!).     I scored this cotton/cashmere Uniqlo sweater dress on major sale (I'm talking $10) when I went in to stock up on tights a couple of weeks ago and it was such a good deal that I bought it in grey too.  Compulsive shopper?  No way - just bargain shopping the way my mom taught me to!  They've been in heavy rotation (along with this cape which didn't see much wear after I bought it this past Spring) and I can't wait to keep layering them straight through the cold months.

Oh and can we talk about this bag for a sec?  It's by Angela Roi - they've been around for a while now and I was lucky enough to meet the team during NYFW.  The online brand supports cancer and disease patients through the association of each color of bag and a portion of the proceeds of each bag directly benefit the designated cause.  I love when I find brands that give back and make amazing products.

The Right...Go-To May Outfit

Whiskey Ginger  //  Living After Midnite

Hi Friends - it's good to see you!  My sincerest apologies for being so absent on this little corner of the internet.  Yes, I'm still alive.  No, I haven't stopped blogging.  Things just got a little cray after my last post [in summary, I unexpectedly had to move out of my apartment, went off to NOLA for Jen's bachelorette party, work got a little crazy per usual and I've since been just trying to come up for air and get my life back together.  If you know me at all, I'm extremely type-A and having life out of sorts is not a good look for me and I don't deal with stress well.  So bare with me while I get back on track but the goal is to start posting regularly again!]   Now to the good stuff.  I can't tell you how many times (because I've definitely lost track) I've worn an iteration of this outfit this month.  This sleeveless trench has quickly become a spring wardrobe staple.  I love that I can literally wear it over anything and it makes me feel super polished and put together.  Be sure to check out Jackie and Taylor's go-to outfits as well!

The Right... Springtime Cape

I really truly hope that this is my last cool weather post.  I've officially been boycotting tights (even on barely 35/40 degree days) because I just can't with the cold weather anymore.  Sorry I'm not sorry for getting really "basic" right there.     On a positive note, I'm SO glad I pulled the trigger on this cape when I did and it was one of those times when it was fate for me to purchase it.  It will be in heavy rotation this season (AND next fall).

East vs. West: Holiday Party

It's officially that time of year - the holiday season!  I love a good party and especially a party that requires getting all dressed up!  I realized I'm channeling a more minimalist vibe when planning this season's outfits - a little less glitter and a little more subtle sparkle.  Like in today's outfit with the studded dress sleeves and silver pumps.     I hope you enjoy this latest installment of East vs. West - we're bringing you 4 holiday looks (and one is a little more casual!  Stay tuned for that) over the next 4 weeks.  I hope you'll check out everyone's posts below - can't wait to hear what you're wearing to your next holiday party!

And can we talk about these tights for a second?  They are absolutely amazing - they have a really thick waist band which helps them stay up all day and the color/weight is perfect!  I haven't thought about buying Hanes tights in years and I'm so glad I was able to try these out this season!

The Right... Fall Romper

  I have to admit, I have a love/hate relationship with rompers.  I love them because they can be so easy but I hate them because, well... bathroom.  This one however, I'm ok having that sliver of "hate" because I have been ob-sessed with it since I bought it.  As in may or may not have worn it once a week... #sorrynotsorry
This was my favorite combo to date with this romper and I'm working on a "ways to wear" remix for you (I figured out I can hide it under a pencil skirt for maximum versatility) so stay tuned for that!  I had a blast shooting these photos with Meaghan and was excited to finally take pics in front of her infamous backdrop that I love so much.    

  Hope you all had a fab weekend!  I'm gearing for a busy couple of weeks so apologies in advance if things slow down a little here...
