Black & Tan

This past weekend Will took these photographs in New York and the idea of seating on stoops and wearing flats is no longer miles away since the weather is getting a tad warmer.

As I live on suitcase, I always have to plan my outfits carefully to make sure I take all the accessories, shoes, bags and everything else that goes with every outfit I plan to wear.

A black top is always a good idea and adding this fantastic necklace (bought in New York) added color and fun to my head-to-toe black outfit.

Loose top from Zara, skinny jeans from Marciano and Michael Kors chronograph gold watch. Tory Burch flats (classic reva ballet flats) and Marc by Marc Jacobs classic Q Hillier hobo bag.

I love hosting dinner parties; having people over and cooking can be very fun. Although it’s usually Will who does most of the cooking, I like to organize, plan and do a few appetizers, it must be the planner in me.

This H&M polka dots dress (last seen here) is one of my favorite dinner outfits and matches my Anthropology polka dots apron. Double polka dots, yes please!

Zara suede shoes, Michael Kors watch, Mint Julep bracelet, Forever21 polka dots earrings.

Big thanks to Billy Simpson for doing this phooshoot.

Casual Bib Necklace

Bib necklaces are a great way to highlight your outfit, whether you’re going for a professional, formal or casual look. To get a casual bib necklace look, try using a loose top from Zara, skinny jeans from Marciano and Tory Burch flats (classic reva ballet flats).

Funny story about this necklace. I was at the Children’s National Hospital for an event and as I was leaving I found this necklace and I LOVE it!

As far as accessories, you know you love this trendy Michael Kors chronograph gold watch and Forever 21 bangles (similar ones). Stud gold earrings are simple and match the bib necklace peeeerfect! Marc by Marc Jacobs classic Q Hillier hobo bag.
