Orange Lips & Aztec Print

The print of this adorable long sleeved romper has the colors of fall but holds on to the comfort of summer. It’s light and cozy and the print is perfect with these gladiator style sandals.
As I transition my wardrobe from summer to fall, I find myself trying to get every wear of my summer clothing such as maxi dresses, printed shorts, and tanks but layering them just in case it gets chilly at night. How do you transition your wardrobe in September?

High-tops + Chambray

I rarely wear sneakers unless I am hiking or working out. I am 5’2 and take any inch I can get so I usually avoid flats or sneakers at all cost. When I saw these adorable pink-accented wedge sneakers for only $10 on clearance at T.J. Maxx, I knew I would be kicking around in sneakers a lot more. I paired with basic shorts and a versatile Denim top from Squares Hearts my new go-to site for great finds at awesome prices, where you can find here.  Of course, the corona light & my pup Zoey  brought the whole look together; don’t you just love summer nights?

Best of 2013

2013-bestof

2013 was a HUGE year for me & quite amazing. I traveled to Italy with my family, my mom got married and I was her maid of honor. Her beautiful wedding brought two wonderful families together and I now have a step father and 3 wonderful step brothers and many new aunts, uncles, cousins and the list goes (yes, Italian family).

I also started a new job at the ABC affiliate TV station and gained many new friends and colleagues as well as learned more than I ever thought I could in less than a year working for Lin Media.

Looking into 2014, most people want “more” or “better”, however 2013 is going to be hard to top so I will settle with, “just as amazing!”

‘Tis the Season to *Shine*

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Wanted to share a fun photo shoot I did with the same friend that did my makeup in my last post. I had this new sequined skirt and she helped me style it! xo Here’s to a great 2014

Lace + Burgandy

As a Topshop + Nordstrom brand ambassador I had an awesome opportunity to be one of the first to shop at the Topshop Nordstrom launch. Check out my Topshop Loves CT post here.  I fell in love with this romantic lace top and wore it for Thanksgiving.  I a paired it with my old faithful burgundy skinny jeans from American Eagle also worn here and a rose gold watch c/o Guess.
