Bye Bye Long Island…

June 4, 2015

Today is a bit bitter-sweet…by the time all of you are reading this, I will be on the road for my big move to California! If you didn’t catch Monday’s post, I announced that I am moving to LA and leaving the only place I’ve ever known, Long Island, for a new journey filled with great opportunities and of course some adventure.

It’s crazy to think I will be leaving my family and friends behind to venture out on my own and really become an adult but hey…it has to happen eventually right? Well I decided today was the perfect opportunity to do a little flashback to a look I shot a few weeks ago at one of my favorite Long Island hot spots, Prime American Kitchen & Bar (during my college years I actually hosted there during the summer). I have always loved being by the water and soaking up some sunshine so hostessing there was one of my favorite jobs and not to mention the food was kinda amazing…(and by kinda I mean it was in fact amazing!). Ok so maybe I am getting distracted…I love this look and even more the scenic Huntington Harbor backdrop (hey maybe it’s meant to be I am moving to LA…there is a Huntington beach in Cali isn’t there?)

Rompin’ Around…

So yes…this happened…I finally wore a romper! First time in years wearing one, but when I spotted this floral number from Choies I knew it was meant to be! With my trip to LA just around the corner, I figured this would be the perfect outfit to pack for brunch, lunch, events or a trip to the Santa Monica pier (can you tell I have been California dreaming for a while now :p).

I have been counting down heading back to LA since my first visit last year…the sunshine, palm trees and the ability to wear shorts, skirts and dresses everyday is a little slice of heaven for me…

Stay-Cation With Jergens…

While everyone loves a little getaway, I can’t always get up and leave for a vacation (joys of working full time huh :p), so instead, I choose to have the occasional mini ‘staycation‘ in the comfort of my own backyard! Nothing beats some sunshine, fresh flowers and a little rest and relaxation.

Ok, let’s be honest, one of the main reasons we all love going away (or at least why I love going away) is to return home with that refreshed and bronzed glow your skin has after a tropical getaway. Well I found a solution for that and it doesn’t involve any harsh side effects or any overexposure to the sun…it’s the Jergens® Natural Glow® Sunless Tanning Collection! I have been using them since I was in middle school, so it seemed like a natural fit to include as part of my staycation guide here on the blog!

In The Trenches…

Someone has a case of the ‘Mondays‘….and it may just be me 😉 Safe to say I spent the weekend catching up on some cult classic movies…along with some shopping, girl time and cuddling with Charlie (my dog duh!)…didn’t have any exciting dating adventures this past weekend…I was suffering from a pounding headache and didn’t even get around to shooting new outfits (that means next weekend is crunch time ugh)…anyways on a happier note, I am excited to start actually dressing for spring…slowly but surely and my first spring essential? A killer trench coat like this one! PS It’s on sale at Nordstrom (woohoo!)

A trench coat is the perfect piece to get to transition into spring…it’s not as heavy as your winter coat + it is perfect to wear on those rainy spring days (hopefully they bring May flowers right?). Another key piece from spring (aka something you actually need year round) are these blue Ray Bans…they come with me everywhere I go and will definitely be brought to LA in a few months (I may not come back…#AGirlCanDream)

Another great way to ring in spring? With a bright pair of pants like these cobalt blue jeans (under $40 here!) and some chic nude pumps. I love nude pumps (I also styled them with some winter wear last week on the blog here) because they match with everything and really add that extra ‘~~sex~~ appeal’ to every outfit. My Gucci Soho tote is the ideal transition bag because black is timeless and a great quality bag ~~never~~ goes ‘out’ of style.

No outfit is complete without the proper bling…this Kendra Scott ‘Naomi’ Ring + my blue face Michael Kors watch (such a perfect hue for spring plus it matches the pants woo!).
