Nightgown Around Town

in

I wear my nightgown around town…okay not really! But boho nightgown style dresses are all the rage right now. Say bye-bye to your leggings and welcome the nightgown dress to your wardrobe. It’s not only super cute, but it’s really comfy too!

I’m obsessed with this dress. it’s light weight, has a bold yet fun print, and even has pockets. This particular dress which is available on Amazon only costs $27.99! It also comes in 36 different prints and colors, so there is a style for everyone’s taste. I might have to pick up a few more because they are all so unique.

What do you think of the nightgown dress style? Would you give it a try?

Also, don’t forget to wear your masks! I took these photos early morning on an empty street with nobody around. I may be fully vaccinated, but when I’m in contact with others I make sure to mask up. I love the fabric masks from Old Navy which I’m wearing here. I must have 30 of them!

Seasons Change

in

Every day it’s starting to feel more and more like fall. The leaves are changing and the air is crisp. It’s the perfect time of year for a casual and cuddly look.

Late October/early November is probably my favorite time of year. As excited as I am for it to be here already it’s making me wish time would slow down a bit. The year 2020 is flying by…and that’s probably a good thing (hello worst year ever!)…but I feel like when it flies by and nothing really happens it makes me feel so unproductive! So this weekend I’m going to try to do a few things to make me feel like I’m getting something accomplished. Isn’t that what weekends are for anyway?

My plans for this weekend include:

  • cleaning the apartment (typical weekend chores)

  • napping (maybe even more typical!)

  • cooking up some yummy fall food…okay let’s be real, Chris is cooking and I’ll just be eating. Some things I’m excited that he’s making are a butternut squash soup and a mushroom & leek bread. YUM!!!

  • taking care of poor Rocko’s allergies…his skin is a mess this time of year

  • folding a few more drawers the Marie Kondo way

  • reading a few more chapters of my book. It’s been my new year’s resolution to read one book a month which I was able to easily stick to.

  • get excited for the Biden/Harris texting training I’m taking on Monday so I can be part of their texting team. So excited to help get the word out to vote. We voted absentee a few days ago…more about that on my IG soon

What are you all up to this weekend? Try to get out a little and enjoy this weather…and PLEASE wear a mask! Again, these are the ones I have been wearing that I absolutely love. The masks with the adjustable ear straps are a game changer in my humble opinion.

Polka Dots Forever

FACT: My all time favorite print to wear is polka dots.

How many polka dot pieces in your wardrobe is too many? I have a lot…but I don’t think it’s nearly enough. Something about the print is classic, fun, feminine, trendy, and chic. Wearing it just makes me feel happy. Do you have a print that makes you feel happy to wear?

Here in NYC the weather has been fall perfection this weekend. I hope you all are out and about enjoying the crisp autumn air. Also, please be sure to wear your masks. I only took mine off to take these photos on an empty street…but wanted to send a link to my favorite masks. The ones with the ear adjusters are a game changer!!!

Unpopular Opinion

in

I’m about to tell you all something that I know will be extremely controversial…

One of the reasons I absolutely L-O-V-E fall weather is because incorporating tights into my wardrobe is one of my favorite things!

I know so many people wait until winter to start wearing them…and then as soon as spring has spring they go bare legged. But I’m always so cold, and to be honest tights (especially thinner ones like these) are so much lighter than jeans. Today the temps were in the low 50s this morning and will only get into the low 60s this afternoon. If that isn’t perfect weather for wearing tights then I don’t know what is!

When do you think typically break out tights? Do you love them or hate them???

Also, quick side note…this is my new favorite jacket. I am always on the lookout for a cute teddy bear jacket. Could this jacket be more cozy? My mom told me it makes me look like a goldendoodle…but I’ll take that as a compliment! HAHAHA!

Summer Dots

in

Summer officially arrived yesterday…and I’m not going to lie, I’m already counting down the days until fall (autumn is my favorite season). I hate being hot, but one thing that is keeping me cool is this adorable linen polka dot skirt that I bought out of my friend Nicole’s (aka Darling in Dots) closet.

This summer is going to look a little different for me, and I’m sure many of you. With COVID-19 still infecting people every day, I personally still don’t feel very comfortable outside for long amounts of time. It’s so hot under my mask (I took it off for one minute to snap these photos) that I would just prefer to go sit in my air conditioned apartment.

I will be sad that this summer will have no BBQs, no rooftop parties, no concerts…it’s going to be boring. But if that means it will keep me healthy, I’m okay with that. I might be going overboard with keeping my social distance, but with all the health issues I have I just can’t afford to chance anything.

So until this virus is GONE i will continue to wear polka dots, go on morning walks before the crowds in my neighborhood grow and the summer sun gets too hot, and enjoy the extra time with my dog and my husband as we’ve all been quarantined together since March…and I really would not want it any other way.

How are you planning on enjoying your summer?
