We made it! We. made. it. Happy Friday to you, my friends! Thank you to everyone who sent love, light, support, and high fives to me for last night's workshop at The Brass Owl. I had such a blast and the night was a wonderful success. It's so nice to connect with fellow Astorians and lovers of fashion, and it was great going over some of this Spring's trends with Nicole, the owner of TBO (I found out last night that her background is in fashion and she was a buyer for huge companies for YEARS - super inspiring). If you haven't visited The Brass Owl, I highly encourage you to do so. And if you're sad you missed out, I've starting pinning a bunch of my spring trend picks on Pinterest, and I'd love for you to follow along!

This weekend I am getting a much needed dye job at Seagull, followed by an art show that my incredibly talented friend is hosting. Sunday we'll be house hunting again. Stuff is happening, friends. What are you up to this weekend? Please, talk to me! And, as always, my favorite links of the week:

I adore this round up of breakfast nook furniture!

I need this app.

Great wedding makeup tips.

Last night at TBO I talked about eliminating fast fashion from our style vocabulary, but this skirt (on sale!) is a great way to buy into a trend without breaking the bank.

Nothing I love more than a Parisian flat lay post.

Have you caught the early spring bloom bug?

Not into flats? That's fine, try some fancy sneakers to transition to Spring. Pair with jeans + tee, casual dresses, or pull an 80's and wear with a legit corporate look.

Perfect spring bracelet.

See you Monday!

spring ahead

Good morning, friends! Taking a little break from style dictionary this week. I don't know about you, but the time change completely knocked me on my ass. I wanted to get up early today to get some work done, and that just did not happen. Between staying out late Saturday night and house hunting yesterday, I need a second to get back into the swing of things!

On Saturday I stopped by The Brass Owl where Nicole, the owner, and I spent some time nailing down Thursday's workshop. Her Spring inventory is incredible - I really hope you'll join us! Don't forget, I'll be giving away a FREE closet makeover, and Nicole is throwing in a $25 gift certificate to The Brass Owl.

Come armed with your style questions and get ready to stump the stylist. I want to hear all about your Spring trend trials and tribulations!

Until tomorrow!

Happy Friday! My unexpected snow day yesterday totally threw me off - it doesn't feel like Friday, but I'll take it! What are you all up to this weekend? Raven and I are beginning our home search on Sunday - we're pretty sure we're moving to CT later this year! There are so many mixed feelings about it (Yesterday I went from 'I can't wait to share a home with you!' to 'I'm sad.' Seriously.), but we keep reminding ourselves that we're in the education / learning stage of it all - no commitment yet! I hope you all have a fantastic weekend, below are my favorite links of the week!

Browsing the new arrivals at Banana Republic got me so excited for Spring.

This is on our to-do list for when the weather warms up.

Would you try / have you tried any of these gadgets?

Will I see you next Thursday??

This cracked me up, and is basically my life story.

A trend I am dying to try.

Don't forget the Shopbop sale! 15-25% off with code BIGEVENT15. I want you.

Major photo inspiration.

See you Monday, lovelies!

exciting news!

Ta-da! I'm so excited to announce an evening of STYLE at The Brass Owl! Nicole, the Astoria boutique's owner, asked me to chat about spring trends, and I couldn't resist also putting together some of my favorite style advice as well!

Please join us for wine, cheese, shopping, and a GIVEAWAY! Mmm hmm, one lucky event-goer will win a FREE closet makeover and a $25 gift certificate to The Brass Owl!

I really hope to see you there, and feel free to comment below if there's anything you'd like me to chat about that night!
