Majestic Mary Janes

My new favorite shoes are a spin on an old favorite…

Mary Janes from Madewell / tights from LOFT / faux fur coat by Cupcakes & Cashmere

I feel like I’ve been wearing Mary Janes off and on forever. They are so classic and perfect with just about any outfit. Dress them up or dress them down…they are always a winner in my book!

What I love most about these are the double strap. Adds a little something unique to the traditional look.

Trench Coat For Springtime

I recently got this trench coat and I’m obsessed with it! It’s the perfect weight for spring and a great length. Dressy enough to wear to work and yet casual enough to wear on the weekend with jeans. Looking to get a lot of wear out of this coat this spring and fall.

A Summer Look & A Fluffy Pup

Hello readers! It’s been a hot second since my last “outfit post”…and this ball of fluff is the reason why. If you’ve been following me on IG you know that back in April we welcomed this little cavapoo who we named Freddie into our home, our lives, and our heart. It’s been a whirlwind…full of puppy insanity. I’ve hardly been wearing anything cute due to worrying that he’ll rip and ruin anything I have on, and don’t get me on the limited time I have had for hair and makeup. However, I thought this simple and colorful summer look was too cute not to share. Also…how cute is Freddie here???

Top: LOFT, Jeans: Madewell, Sandals: Birkenstock, Purse: Rebecca Minkoff (similar as pink is no longer available)

I love a peplum top…and this one has the happiest print I’ve ever seen. I think it looks adorable paired with a good pair of jeans. One of my favorite styles of denim is the Stovepipe jeans at Madewell. They fit so well and the denim is so soft. They are available in regular sizes as well as plus, petite, curvy, and tall…so there is a fit for everybody! They also come in a variety of washes. Adding a few pops of colors (my purse and sandals) just pulls this all together, don’t you think?

Freddie loves going to the park and saying hi to literally every single dog he sees. He’s super happy and super crazy. Be sure to follow his wild antics on his IG: FreddieFluffyPants

I want to hear from you. How is your summer going???

Let's Be Real

If anything has come from IG-gate (yes, that’s what I’ll call it), is that going forward I want to be completely honest with my readers and keep it real. So often with blogging we get caught up behind smoke and mirrors and feel the pressure to keep things looking amazing to entertain and inspire our readers. But I’m not perfect, and neither is life. This is me, being me. Comfortable, at home…casual, and frizzy hair.

I feel like me losing 8 years of work and all my contacts on my Instagram platform and having to start again from scratch makes me feel stripped down and vulnerable. But I think I’m going to just go with the flow. For someone like myself taking things day by day and being easy going doesn’t come easy.

I like to plan. I like to be a step ahead. Most of my friends would not ever describe me as spontaneous. But I think maybe this all happened for a reason and I need to just embrace it and I hope you all come along for the ride.

I hope you all stay with me, and let me know what you want to see from the new and improved Snapshot Fashion and my very newly created snapshotfashionNYC Instagram account. Help be a part of the creative process! Leave me some comments or DM me. I’d love to hear from you.
