The Right... Long White Tunic

Happy Monday friends - I hope you all had a great weekend!  I finally had a chance to breathe after traveling and having a crazy couple of weeks at work.  
  If you've been following me long enough you know I'm not one to hop on each and every trend that comes along so when I pulled the trigger on this white tunic I was partially unsure if I could pull it off.  I played it safe with black pants but I'm planning to remix it with shorts or a skirt soon because I ended up liking it more than I expected. 





And apologies for having so few photos - I was dealing with this for the entire shoot haha:

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!

Window Shopping Wednesday: Tropical Getaway

I definitely saw a trend on instagram over the weekend - I think 75% of the people I follow were away on a tropical getaway.  And it definitely left me with some pangs of jealousy but also some inspiration for today's post.  I was especially inspired by Julia's visit to Cuixmala Mexico so I'm sharing a couple of things I'd pack for a trip to this resort:  

1-MIA Wedges, 2-Tildon Floppy Hat, 3-ASOS One Piece, 4-LOFT Lace Top, 5-Forever21 White Dress, 6-1. State Dress, 7-Maggy London Wrap Dress, 8-ASOS Floral Bikini, 9-ASOS Mesh Bikini Bottom, 10-Topshop Gladiator Sandals, 11-Topshop Lace Shorts, 12-Anthropologie Floral Bikini

Window Shopping Wednesday: An Anthro Moment

I don't know why but I often forget about Anthropologie when I'm shopping.  They always have the most beautiful, feminine, whimsical pieces that can spice up any wardrobe.  

Lately I've been on the hunt for the perfect floral dress and while I was browsing Anthro's site this past weekend I stumbled across a ton of other beauties.  Let the sale stalking begin!  

Which is your favorite?

Window Shopping Wednesday: Floral Favorites

Florals are everywhere right now!  I'm a happy camper because I love a good floral print .  You can easily spice up an outfit by pairing a floral piece paired with some solid/basic pieces.  I'm sure you could tell I'm loving florals right now because you've seen my floral pants on the blog twice already... Sorry I'm not sorry ;).  Floral accessories such as necklaces and handbags also give you an option of adding the floral trend to your look without too much commitment. 

Check out some of my favorite floral pieces below and tune in Friday to see how the North v. South girls style their florals!

#STLFW Lunch with Saks

I don't even know where to begin with this post.  Like I said in my recap yesterday, we had the opportunity to eat lunch with Saks Fifth Avenue.  I think this was probably one of my favorite parts of the whole St. Louis trip (and trust me, it's hard to choose a favorite!).  We were greeted by Tania and taken to a private room, served the most delicious pizza, salad and cookies and then given a tour of the store.  Saks Fifth Avenue at Plaza Frontenac was recently remodeled and I have to say it was gorgeous!  Granted I don't know what it looked like before but between the chandeliers, crisp white walls and fun table details it looked great.

During the tour we were taken to the 5th Avenue Club to meet some of the stylists (ps - I'd kill to have their job!), we had a walk through of the contemporary lines and ended with bags and shoes.  It took all I had to keep from drooling over everything.  They had a red Chanel bag that I literally could not stop staring at (see top right in picture above).  Here's what I wore to lunch with Saks!

Thank you for taking my photos Jackie!!

Making a Pleated Statement

I'm pretty confident this is the first time I've had this dress on the blog even though it was one of my first NYC purchases.  It's become one of my absolute favorite articles of clothing because I love the pop of color and the pleats are just fab.  If you saw my post on Wednesday, I paired it with a statement jacket to give the whole outfit a little twist.  I can't wait til I can recreate this look, or something similar, with NO TIGHTS!  I'm so so SO sick of wearing tights and just want it to be warm enough to don bear legs!  But I may have to get a tan first because it's pretty obvious I'm almost see-through pale at the moment...

 

Also, I only wish you all knew how cold it was the day Jen and I took these photos - absolutely frigid!  Glad those days have hopefully passed!

Hope you all have a fab weekend! 

Jacket: Parker (c/o internship - similar here and other favorites here), Dress: Pixie Market (similar verions here and here), Tights: Anthropologie, Shoes: Vince Camuto (other favorite pair here), Bag: Tory Burch (on loan from Jen!), Necklace: Target (old)

Thanks for taking my pictures Jen!

I also realized I've developed a recent love for black/white/pink combos lately (last seen here)...!

Window Shopping Wednesday: Statement Necklaces

Caution: loads of sparkle and color ahead.  This post may induce impulse bauble purchases!

Today I wanted to highlight my favorite of-the-moment statement necklaces!  This post stemmed from my recent purchase at the BaubleBar BBUnwrapped pop up shop.  I visited with Jen a couple of weekends ago and we had a blast playing with the jewels [btw, they extended their stay through the end of the month so if you haven't gone yet, go!].  You'll have to tune in on Friday to see what I got but in the meantime, feast your eyes on these beauties (and you MUST share if you buy any!):

NYFW/IFBcon

Happy Monday everyone!  I hope you all had a fantastic weekend!  Mine was spent meeting some new bloggers, attending some Fashion Week events and working a bit.  Had so much fun and I'll have outfit updates soon!  And today I start my new job!  I couldn't be more excited! 

I'm going to have a full recap of some things I picked up at IFB soon but in the meantime, check out what I wore!  I am all about statement skirts as of late and this one is no exception.  So excited to continue to style it through Spring!
