Spring LBD Style

I am so happy right now. It is finally feeling like spring in New York! It certainly has taken along enough after this winter. Either way, I am just so happy I can dust off my spring clothes or have a perfect excuse to buy some new ones.  

Is there anything better than a perfect little black dress? It's the one style that will definitely never go out of style. This spring, the little black dress is getting updated to midi length--one of hottest trends right now and I for one cannot wait to get my hands on a midi style dress. I love how this little black dress can be worn to work and then happy hour drinks afterwards. I paired it with a fun tassel necklace, which is another trend that has been popping up everywhere. I do love how tassels make every outfit seem more fun.

Sorry for the radio silence again. A crazy combination of work, personal, and family commitments have kept me very very very busy. Well that and I have been suffering a slow death from my allergies that has drained of all energy.

That being said I am very excited for April! I am finally going to be traveling more--a major goal of mine for this year. Expect some packing lists coming up since I need some new fun vacation clothes. 

This weekend, I will be running finally getting the chance to sit back, relax, and finally catch up on some sleep.

Shirtdress Roundup

No weekend reading this weekend as I took a short break away from my computer (I would say social media but I was posting on instagram this weekend). I just needed a break from it all before my absolutely crazy week. Be sure to follow along on my instagram.

Now that it is finally almost feeling like spring, there is nothing I love more than a good shirtdress. It's just perfect for this transition weather. That and I love anything I can just throw on and still look like I put in effort. Here are some of the best ones out right now.

Stop Making Me Blush

I'm not sure if it's the warmer weather or the fact that Spring is just around the color, but I have been very drawn to the color blush lately. Something about it just screams Spring while still being completely appropriate to wear while it is not actually Spring yet. Luckily it seems most retailers agree with me on the color blush. Here are a few of my favorite pieces I've found. I really think I need this tiered skirt.

Spring Forward

I am beyond excited this week--it's finally going to be 50 degrees!! Yes, this is a super big deal for anyone who lives in the Northeast and has survived this winter. It was the coldest winter in NYC since 1934! But now spring is on its way! I cannot wait for it to get even warmer so I start breaking out my cute spring dresses. Here are some of the spring items that I currently have my eye on.

And random side note, if you have not already watched Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, you MUST watch it right away. It's Tina Fey's new show starring Ellie Kemper and it's absolutely hilarious!
