Weekend Getaways

I've found it's critical for me to escape this city on a somewhat regular basis (partially to keep my sanity and also to explore life beyond this little island).  When Jackie invited me up to Westchester for her bday dinner a couple of weeks ago I jumped on the opportunity to explore a new place (and of course spend some time with one of my favorite ladies on her bday).   I was finally able to use my new Coach weekender bag for my little overnighter.

North v. South: Spring Accessories

Welcome to week 5 of the #northvsouthstyle collab!  This week we styled our favorite spring accessories and if you saw my post on Wednesday, I curated my favorites for you.  Looks like Katie, Shelby and Michelle like some of the same accessories I do!  #GreatMindsThinkAlike I guess :).

Happy Friday - I'm taking a half day from work and heading off to DC for the weekend!  Be sure to follow all my adventures on Instagram and Twitter!

LexWhatWear, Pink Champagne, Glitter and Gingham, Julie Leah, Pearls and Twirls

Also, can we talk about these shoes and how well they match the scenery?  Jen and I ventured to Prospect Park with the intention of going to the botanical gardens last weekend but the line was so long we ventured to the park instead.  We decided to step out of our usual concrete jungle scenery and pose by the pond - I have to say it was pretty refreshing!  Although I look a little out of context...

Summer Layering

I don't think it's a secret that I'm obsessed with J.Crew.  Everything about the brand is timeless, yet the are always on-trend.  They offer perfect closet staples as well as quirky trend pieces.  Gayle (Spannaus that is...  I like to think we are on a first name basis) was nice enough to send out an e-mail a couple days ago discussing light layering.  One of the suggestions was to do some tonal layering with vests and popovers, so I decided to do just that yesterday!

The inspo:

Via J.Crew e-mail

And my take on it:

Vest: Old Navy, Shirt: H&M, Skirt: Forever 21, Purse: Coach, Shoes: Pour La Victoire, Watch: Fossil, Bracelets: J.Crew and gifted

What do you think?  Would you ever try this look?  If you do send me the link in the comments!  Would love to see it!!
