Happy Memorial Day (Sales!)

Happy Memorial Day, everyone!

I love this holiday for multiple reasons:

It’s important that we stop and remember those who died fighting for our country’s freedom
It’s a wonderful opportunity to spend time with friends and family
I appreciate all breaks from work right now – 9 days until the due date!
Last, and certainly not as important: Sales, sales, sales. The retail world unleashes some pretty significant holiday weekend sales, and I’ve listed some of my favorite stores’ discounts below! Happy shopping!

With my due date only 15 days away, I’m doing something I haven’t done in 265 days… looking at regular clothing! No more maternity shopping for me (hallelujah, seriously!). I spent far too long the other day browsing through every single item at J. Crew – their summer collection is so dreamy. I am in love with this chambray tunic and these eyelet shorts. With Memorial Day weekend coming up, I thought I’d put together two outfits – one for brunching outdoors with friends and one for eating on the patio at night. I am so anxious to get back into my old clothes – can you tell? I want to wear both these outfits tomorrow! Is your wardrobe ready for summer? One serious staple item to add to your cart are these shorts!

Met Gala 2014

My favorite fashion event (besides a royal wedding) is the annual Met Gala in NYC. I absolutely love the bold dresses that stars done for this big night out. I was following along on Instagram last night, and absolutely fell in love with some of my favorite star’s outfits. The nine pictures below are my favorites. I personally think that the Gossip Girls, Leighton and Blake, stole the show though – their dresses are absolutely stunning. Which look is your favorite?

1. marion cotillard in dior // 2. gisele bundchen in balenciaga // 3. selena gomez in DVF // 4. blake lively in gucci // 5. lauren bush lauren // 6. emma stone in thakoon // 7. leighton meister in emilio pucci // 8. beyonce in givenchy // 9. jessica alba in DVF

Invitations April 29, 2014

Celebrating Derby Day

Ever so slightly obsessed with these Kentucky Derby invitations by Lauren Chism – are they not perfect? As is the styling for the photos!

We had dinner with Sasha’s best friends on Saturday, and one of the couples is heading to the Derby this weekend. I have always wanted to go! I would be all over those hats. The Derby makes me think of Classy Girls Wear Pearls, which is funny given that her most recent post is about packing for this big event!

How Cara and Liz Style Priya

As announced a few weeks ago, my friend Joy recently launched a new jewelry line, Priya, which has recently been featured on two of my favorite blogs – Cara Loren and Sequins & Stripes. I am so proud of Joy – both Cara and Liz styled the pieces so perfectly. I love them! That pear ring is my absolute favorite.

If you haven’t already, read Cara Loren’s Jeweled post and Liz Schneider’s Navy Maxi post – some of their jewelry pictures are below! Which is your favorite piece from the Zama Collection?

PS Is Cara not the most perfect pregnant lady ever?
