COMFY & CHIC

As much as I love dressing up for a night on the town or a dinner with friends, sometimes comfort is all I really want (especially after a long day of travel). I've learned that wearing a laid-back look doesn't mean you have to compromise on your personal style. In fact, casual doesn't actually have to be all that casual.

Alas, this Morning Lavender jumpsuit proves that cozy and chic can be done! Paired with nude sandals, it's a throw-on-and-go type of outfit that works for day or night. Paired here with simple jewelry from my new Aurate curated jewelry box and a hair scarf, it's perfect the perfect look for an afternoon date.

‘Tis (Almost) the Season

The sun’s out, the weather’s heating up, all signs point to one thing: wedding season. And while in years past, I’ve had one or two to attend, this year, I have a lot more! From beach weddings to vineyard celebrations to grand escapes in Tuscany, my wedding season itinerary is fully packed. And while I’ve never been much of a planner, I’m starting to get my reception looks lined up because let’s be honest, the best styles get scooped up the fastest.

This dress by Morning Lavender is a gorgeous option for a spring or summer celebration. Not only does it work well as a guest outfit for a variety of wedding venues, but it is also perfect for a bridal shower. I mean, doesn’t it look like it was just made for a bridal brunch or tea? I adore the delicate lace detailing and flattering tiered silhouette. When it comes to shoes, these strappy Something Navy pumps add a bit of extra feminine flair—and if you can stand being in high heels all evening, they’re truly perfect. The best part of this ensemble? It’s very affordable. It’ll give your wallet a much-needed wedding season break. Amen!

SLIP INTO SPRING

The best alternative to skinnies right now? Slip skirts. Not only are they insanely versatile, but they are also perfectly on-trend for spring. It seems like everywhere I look at the moment, another fashion girl is rocking one, and I'm definitely here for it. Something about the shimmery fabric can give even your most basic tee a chic bit of polish. It's definitely a piece you need to add to your spring wardrobe.

Usually on the pricier side, this beauty from Morning Lavender is both affordable and flattering. Perfectly femme with a flared hem and blush shade, it's definitely going to be a staple in my spring closet. I paired it for a lunch date with a cropped striped tee to keep my look casual, but it would also be perfect with a lace tank for a more dressed up look. If you're a fan of airy fabrics and softer feminine styles, you need to check out Morning Lavender. It's one of my favorites!
