Golden Girl in Greenpoint

in

Wandering around Brooklyn on a beautiful fall day is definitely my idea of perfection. Today we walked north through Greenpoint and made a pit stop at Transmitter Park where we soaked up the beautiful view of the city and snapped these photos.

So I'm kind of in love with these pants. Yeah they are called skinny jeans...but these definitely don't feel like denim. More like a comfy black pant with some stretch to them. LOVE! I picked these up on sale at L&T this past week for only $39.99 in the store. Score!

Another thing I absolutely love about this look is the kimono I'm wearing. My husband hates it. He says I look like one of the Golden Girls. Uh...like that is a bad thing??? In my mind there is never enough Blanche, Dorothy, Rose, and Sophia in this world, so I'll take that as a compliment....thank you very much.

Fall Trends and New Friends

in

Today I met up with Nicole from Darling In Dots for brunch at one of my favorite Williamsburg spots, Allswell. We chatted about dogs, our love for tights, and our trips to Paris. 

By the looks of these photos you would have thought we compared notes when we pulled our outfits. Both in sheer patterned tights, both wearing bow details, and both in similar prints. Hey, great minds think alike...right? 

LOVE IT!

Fall is here and the two of us are definitely ready. We're all about wearing feminine details and printed tights. Funny story, I actually went to H&M to pick up the spotted tights she is wearing and they didn't have them. I think I have to pick them up online. Aren't they just too cute for words?

I absolutely love meeting other bloggers and simply don't do this enough. Here's to many more collaborations!

More Bell Sleeves, Please!

in

One of the season's hottest trends is bell sleeves. Totally bohemian with a dash of whimsy and a splash of quirkiness...bell sleeves are fun for everyone!

I don't know about you guys, but I'm seriously digging this fall weather! I get to finally wear tights again (yay!) and adorable dresses like this. Can't it be autumn all year long?

So do you notice the thing that is slightly different in these photos? I'm wearing pink lipstick! Red is always my go to...but sometimes a bold pink does what a red just can't. I love this shade that I'm wearing here (Greta by NARS). It's the only pink hue I own. Crazy right?

What is your favorite shade of pink lipstick? I think I might need to add another shade or two to my collection and would love to hear your faves.

France Forever In My Heart

in

Fall is definitely in the air, which means I get to wear jackets again on these chilly mornings! Yay! I seriously couldn't be happier. Now if it would just stay in the 60's all year long...

I have been searching high and low for the perfect army green utility jacket and I randomly came across it at Crossroads Trading Co. You know I love a good deal...so you know I was jumping for joy when I snagged this jacket for only $13.50! The most exciting thing is that it is still on Target's website (for $39.99) so you can get it too!

I stopped by the opening launch party for the new Birdcage Shop at Lord & Taylor earlier this week. This French inspired shop was absolutely adorable and left me longing for another trip back to Paris. French chocolates, berets, and cute clothing with French sayings on them were everywhere. You know I love everything French...the food, the art, the fashion. I can't believe that at this time a year ago we were in Paris. How time flies!

I was really excited to see that the fabulous customizing company Bow & Drape were a part of it. I found this super cute bandana that I customized with a cute beaded heart. Don't you love it?

My pup Rocko wanted to show off his fun scarf too! Matching his mommy in red and stripes! Isn't he so handsome???

I'd love to know, what are your favorite trends for fall???

'70s Vibes

in

I never wear anything high waisted, bell bottomed, or even pants for that matter! However, when I came across these adorable bell bottoms this past week at Lord & Taylor I had to pick them up. They are so super comfy and have some great stretch to them.

With the rain on the way I thought an extra long walk with my pup this morning was necessary. Gotta tire the little guy out while I can as he'll be spending much of the weekend indoors. So a stroll to the south side of Williamsburg was on the agenda.

What do you all think of bell bottom pants making a comeback? I'm kind of in love with '70s fashion at the moment (maybe it's all of those old episodes of Three's Company I have been watching lately)...so I say bring them on! I mean you can't wear skinny jeans all the time. Right?

While we were out we stopped by Meyer's Bageri for some breakfast. My husband opted for the ham and cheese danish, while I satisfied my sweet tooth with a raspberry danish. YUM!!! We were both in heaven with these treats!

Here's to a wonderful weekend...no matter how soggy and wet it is!
