With plans to spend a lot more time this summer at our shorehouse, I couldn’t wait to get started on a few simple projects to upgrade our outdoor space. Earlier this year, the backyard of our shorehouse underwent a major overhaul with the construction of a gorgeous brand new deck and the purchase of a…

How to Elevate Your Basics
With new seasons, come new starts, including opportunities to refresh, update and elevate your wardrobe. Perhaps its a function of getting older and simply having less time and space for highly disposable fast fashion items, but I’ve definitely noted a shift in the way I shop and dress these days. With an eye towards better…
When Life Gives You Lemons: Styled by MY x WhoWhatWear Collection
I cannot believe it’s been a week since our European adventure in Spain and Portugal (detailed travel blog post in the works) and that it’s officially the end of summer (and I barely made my way to the beach this season…fai). But, in order to extend my European Summer, I joined up with Who What…
Button-Down Shirt – Two Ways
With a closet full of beautiful clothing, it’s hard to pick favorites. But the ones I love and wear most are undoubtedly the ones that offer versatility. During these warm summer months and as my body continues to evolve, I’ve been loving oversized button down shirts that are light, breezy and versatile. From classic white…
Perfectly Coordinated: How to Wear Matching Sets
Getting dressed should be as effortless as possible and nothing makes putting a look together easier than a matching set (aka co-ord or two-piece). Co-ords or two-piece sets have been popular for a few seasons- whether its a top and pant, top and skirt or top and short – but I happen to be particularly…
Who What Wear X Styled by MY: The Perfect Floral Maxi that Won’t Break the Bank
For me, summer style is all about simplicity – being able to step out in one piece and calling it a day. And truth be told, pregnancy has only highlighted that desire with the additional (and perhaps more important goal) of being comfortable. So, when Who What Wear reached out to me about their newest…
Sizzling Summer in a Slip Dress
Last week’s post was all about the slip skirt, but now that degrees are hitting 90 in New York City, I’m back to loving the slip dress – light, luxe and undeniably sexy. Even if you’re not a certifiable fashion girl, you should own a slip dress (or three), and here are a few good…
Trend Alert: The Slip Skirt
We’ve all been in love with the slip dress for at least a few seasons, but it’s time to up the versatility with a slip skirt. The skirt version of our beloved silky frock is the current trend to try. Wearable all seasons, dressed-up or down, solid or printed, paired with a cami, sweater, crisp…
Trend Alert: Neon
Neons dominated the Spring 2019 runways with green, yellow and pink taking center stage, and now that summer is officially upon us, it’s time to give the neon trend a try. The neon trend has been kicking around since Fall 2018, but I completely understand that you may not have been inclined to sport neon…
Parisian Polka Dot Pretty
At the start of every season, I look for style inspiration to guide the season’s wardrobe. And this Spring/Summer, I was determined to achieve french girl style (especially after binge watching Plan Couer). If you’ve ever been to Paris or anywhere in France, you know exactly what I’m talking about (because you, like I, came…
Summer Suiting: The Gingham Print Suit
Who said you have to shed your power suits for Summer? For my fellow power suit obsessed (e.g. here, here and here) or those whose work attire requires a jacket for the office, I am dedicated to reinventing and finding refreshing ways to wear suits all seasons. Earlier this Spring, to satiate my desire to…
Vacation Vibes
Now that summer temps are finally upon us (the NYC weather gods have been less than cooperative), my brain has me thinking about one thing and one thing only – summer vacation mode (and of course, vacation style). So, in order to will my next major summer vacation into fruition, I’ve naturally started dressing the…
