Happy Friday! I’m down in New Orleans right now enjoying the warmer weather, good friends and of course, the amazing food. I packed pretty lightly for this trip, but did manage to bring one nicer outfit with me, which happened to be the look I wore to my Top Shop for Nordstrom event last week. The party was so fun. My friends and family were there, plus I got to meet some sweet readers and help people shop the new collection. You can buy online here!

A Morning at Murray’s Cheese
Yesterday morning I took my parents to Murray’s Cheese on Bleecker for egg sandwiches and orange juice. Have you ever been? If not, I highly recommend going – it’s one of my favorite little places in the village. I also love having dinner at Murray’s Cheese Bar, which is just next door. Below are some pictures from inside the cheese shop, if you’d like to take a look! xo

Success. He loved it!
I love the fall because there seem to be pumpkins, both big and small, everywhere you look.

Saint Laurent Sunglasses (gift) / Zara Jacket and Leggings / Urban Outfitters Shirt / Pour La Victoire Boots (old – c/o) / Givenchy Bag
This is what I call my morning errands/travel uniform/I-just-want-to-be-comfy outfit that I often put on, which consists of some sort of plaid button down, my favorite Zara leggings and a flat riding boot. Can’t really go wrong with this combination in my opinion.

How are we already in the second weekend of October and I was able to wear this outfit just a few days ago and be perfectly comfortable? Indian summer I guess. I am definitely enjoying the the warmer temperatures but sort of can’t wait for that brisk breeze to whip into town and remind us that fall is actually here. I mean, I have so many new wool and felt hats that I am patiently waiting to wear! Seriously, hats, leather pants and blazers are all I want to wear right now but instead I’ve been wearing denim cutoffs and short sleeve t-shirts.
So this outfit has some nostalgia to it because this blazer (and bag) were originally my friend Alicia’s, who as many of you know, just moved back to California. Last week, I stopped by her place a few days before she left and she generously gifted me this gorgeous Rag & Bone blazer (with matching pants). Needless to say, I was blown away and promised to give these pieces a good home in my closet. Thanks again, Alicia – miss you so much already!
Here’s to an exceptional week! xo

Ray-Ban “Original Wayfarer” Sunglasses / White House|Black Market Instantly Slimming Dress (c/o) / Vince Camuto Heels (old) / Maje Leather Jacket (last season)
Happy Thursday! I hope you all have been having a fabulous week. Now let’s discuss this little black dress. :) I am sure many of you are aware of the fact that I don’t often wear extremely tight clothing or anything too fitted on the blog. So when White House|Black Market approached me about trying out their new “Instantly Slimming Dress” in this sleek black style, I was hesitant at first since I usually save tighter outfits for nights out where the lighting is dim and you can’t really even see my outfit. But this particular dress is known for its built-in shapewear under silky-soft stretch jersey knit and has a faux surplice neckline that begins a descent of diagonal tiers that encourage curves in all the right places. After hearing that, I decided to give it a go and I have to say, upon zipping up this little number, I instantly felt comfortable (the fabric has a lot of stretch and give) and not at all restrictive, which is saying a lot for a body-con dress! I also like how even though it is very fitted, the sleeves and length are a bit longer and the paneling across the dress flatters and fits well over my curves.

All in all, I can definitely see myself wearing this dress again in the near future, whether it’s paired with pearls and worn to a fall wedding or worn out to drinks with a leather jacket and snakesknin heels (shown above). Now I turn it to you guys! I’d love to know – what are you thoughts on body-con dresses? xo
