Roses are Red, Violets are Blue

Day two of Independence Day celebrations involved going to Penn’s Landing to see fireworks and stopping by Spruce Street Harbor Park (SSHP) on our way to dinner. SSHP is a gorgeous pop-up park on Columbus Boulevard & Spruce Street with a boardwalk, lily pad gardens, games, food trucks, and pretty much anything else you can think […]

Americana

J and I celebrated the 4th of July in Philly this year. What better place to spend Independence Day? We grabbed some dinner at Tequilas (which was delicious!) and then headed over to Philly Jam. I probably wear my white jeans too often but it’s my summer favorite. They’re lightweight, form-fitting and can be dressed […]

Romance

Happy 4th of July everyone! Since we’re right in the middle of wedding season, you can expect quite a few wedding, bridal shower, and bachelorette party posts in the next couple months. I normally wear short cocktail dresses to weddings but was instantly drawn to this dress when I saw it on the BHLDN website. As […]

Red & Mint

If you ever find yourself in a style rut, try playing with unexpected color combinations to liven up your wardrobe. I wore this outfit on a recent date night to the Dandelion Pub (which was delicious)! Date night outfits usually get put together in a very hectic environment as we’re rushing to make our dinner reservations […]

Expensive or Economical: Dark Skinny Jeans

When in doubt, I always turn to dark skinny jeans as my starting point for an outfit. Much like finding the perfect bathing suit, finding a pair of jeans that fit you well in all the right places is equally as challenging. Skinny jeans are great for showing off a nice pair of heels, wearing […]

Expensive or Economical: Neon Tote

Let’s talk purses. I’m usually drawn to more neutral handbags that I can wear more often with different outfits, but I recently started loving the idea of adding a neon bag to an otherwise simple outfit. This Saint Laurent tote is gorgeous but I can’t justify the price tag, especially for an item I wouldn’t wear […]

Mornings in Philadelphia

I love experimenting with different items in my closet to create new combinations. I bought this dress last year from BCBG for a wedding and haven’t worn it since, which is the case with a lot of party dresses. I love the dusty rose color and layered skirt so I thought it would make a […]

Expensive or Economical: Floppy Hat

When it comes to fashion, I think it’s important to make smart purchases. It’s okay to splurge on some expensive items and save on other more economical alternatives. Let’s talk floppy hats. Everyone has their own opinion on what is a reasonable amount of money to spend on each item. As far as floppy hats go, […]

Expensive or Economical: Strappy Shoes

I’m a believer in investment pieces but spending over $1000 on shoes is not something i’m willing to do at this point in my life. Classic black pointy-toed pumps have been a staple piece in my closet for years. I wear them to work almost every day, often with skinny jeans and an oversized collared shirt, plus […]

Party Girl

Last Saturday night, J and I headed out to celebrate two different events, our good friend Dmitry’s birthday and my awesome cousin Liran’s engagement party! We had such a great time seeing everyone and celebrating these fun occasions together.  J and I have been so busy working, it was really nice to dance the night away with […]

Flower Power

I will use any excuse to dress up and this was no exception. It makes life so much more fun 🙂 We spent one day in Monterey during our California trip and the next morning we were on our way to San Francisco. Even though we were about to embark on the second part of our […]

Maximize

Here we are in San Diego! It felt so good to be able to wear summer clothes after such a long winter. This maxi dress is a great item to pack for a trip. I felt comfortable while strolling along the beach but still put together. Bonus, there are some really great patterns to choose […]

Road Trippin with My Favorite Ally in Cali

Some of you know that J and I recently went on a trip to California to visit some of our friends and family in San Diego, LA, and San Francisco. We had such an amazing time seeing everyone and road tripping from place to place. There are no words to describe the views, but luckily […]

Date Night

Whether it’s dinner and a movie or a walk around old city, date night with my hubby is a time to unwind at the end of the week and spend some quality time together. Since we’re both juggling busy schedules, getting ready for date night needs to be quick. For me, it often involves adding […]

Tartan

Zara has such a great selection of scarves and is the first place I look when I’m looking for a chic scarf with a fun pattern. This tartan scarf has beautiful colors and most importantly, it’s really long so I can keep wrapping it around myself to stay extra warm! I love how a simple outfit, […]

La Vie en Rose

We all have those days when we wake up, stand in front of our closets and think “what can I possibly wear today?” When I’m having one of those mornings, I tend to gravitate towards black and white, my safe haven. In this case, I decided to stray outside my comfort zone and try a […]

Me and My Boyfriend Jeans

Mixing boyish pieces with feminine additions (like red heels) creates an unexpected combination that totally works in my opinion! I think it’s so funny that there are various styles of jean now that work and are even considered trendy. When I was in high school, anything other than flared or boot leg jeans was considered […]

The Plaid Palette

I used to shy away from plaid but as my style evolves, I become more open minded and amenable to different looks. I especially love this plaid coat. Even the simplest outfit, skinny jeans and a cute top, can be turned around with a fun print like this one. Normally I like to stick to […]

Nude and Grey Glam

Since it’s been snowing every week in Philadelphia for the past few months, I’ve been taking advantage of slightly warm weather any chance I get. J agreed to take some blog pics so we took a walk to Rittenhouse Square Park for a fun photo session. 🙂 The park is beautiful but it’s even better […]
