Los Angeles, CA.

Slipping from BBQ’s, to work events, to after-dinner cocktails, and everywhere in between, these long days can be tough on your toes, but it shouldn’t mean you have to compromise your style. This comfy and effortless outfit will wear well no matter what the time of day, keeping you looking lovely round the clock!

It’s always a good idea to wear comfortable shoes or bring a pair of heels in your purse for a quick change. Also a statement necklace/ pop of lipstick can really help to dress up the look. However, this navy and white striped maxi dress from Lulu’s, paired with classic NineWest nude wedges, makes for an easy transition, as is, from casual daytime events to dressy summer evening activities.

What’s better than an outfit that feels like pajamas but looks like a chic little ensemble? Nothing. This dress is quickly becoming a go-to for just about all of my summer events. While the styling options are endless with a classic piece like this, I chose to add some classic touches with a blue and gold beaded necklace, a pink Nantucket whale bracelet, my sail-bag clutch, and a white jean jacket from Old Navy for chillier temperatures.

Oh, and check out my new friend, Sam! He saw us snapping photos over at the dog park and quickly stole the show and a bit of my heart. This tiny white fluffy dog followed us around the park, posing alongside me whenever he noticed I stopped. He was a perfect model, making the shoot so much more enjoyable. You never know what your day has in store for you, but with an outfit like this, you know you’ll always be looking you’re best.

Nantucket, MA.

I’m throwing a little twist at you guys this Monday: I’m bringing back a look from Nantucket and announcing my weekly feature now up over on TownPool.com. I am so excited to be working with them and so I wanted to honor Nantucket today with this outfit that I wore while out on the town a couple of weeks ago.

Now Nantucket is known for being quite posh, always flocking with prepsters and millionare types. I mention this because there is a very specific feeling that always manages to grab on to me the moment I arrive… I’m not rich! So while it’s fun and perhaps even essential to splurge on most things while you’re vacationing in Nantucket, there are definitely ways to look the part without spending a fortune and I reveal lots of tips of how to achieve this over on Townpool.com.

Today’s dress is a Forever21 triangle print black and white cocktail number with a triple bow detail in the back. It’s girly and classic, perfect for Nantucket. In these shots, I was on my way to dinner and actually braved the streets in these forgiving wedges from NineWest. They’re simple and perfect for just about everything this season. And finally I added a sail-bag clutch (made out of actual sails) and a bright pink Nantucket whale bracelet to polish off the look. I was able to find both of these lovely pieces in the shops on the island.
