Friday Favorites

I'll be back next week posting about my favorite all-natural products. I actually found a natural deodorant that works... Stay tuned!

Holiday Party Dresses

I always stock up on party dresses around this time because you never know how many you'll need for the holiday season! Below are a few I have my eye on. I've gotten started on my gift guides and I'm so excited to share in the next couple weeks.

Designer to Know: Holly Fulton

I recently discovered designer Holly Fulton while browsing the new arrivals section on Net-a-porter and decided to check out the rest of her collection. I can't believe it took me this long to find this incredible designer! I seem to gravitate towards British designers so I wasn't that surprised to hear that she was not American. I am loving the retro flair and beautiful silhouettes in her collection.  Fulton has a really old school approach to designing and loves using "graphic print, luxurious materials and hot accessories." Sign me up! P.S. check out the brand on tumblr.

Botanical Gardens Gala

Tonight is the Botanical Gardens Gala and I am so excited to see what it's all about! The black tie event is held at the gardens and the weather is right for a great night! I was pretty bummed that Riley's not here to be my date but my lovely roommate, Morgan, was happy to step in. I'm wearing a pretty purple Nicole Miller long dress that makes me feel very Kim Kardashian (not sure if that's a good thing...) and haven't decided what jewelry to wear (should probably get on that considering it's tonight!). I can't wait to see all of the dresses the women are wearing.

My sister is wearing one of my grandmother's old, restored dresses from the 50's and is going to get her hair done a la Betty Draper. I can't WAIT to see what she looks like. I'm still deciding what to do with my hair and I can't wait to show you all pictures tomorrow! I'm getting it done at DryBar, which, if there's one in your area, I highly recommend going for a blowout. I also bought a Gilt City voucher back in October for a makeup tutorial and application at the wonderful Kimara Ahnert makeup studio and I'm thrilled to learn some new tricks from the pros (and I get a free brush set!!). What kind of look should I go for? I'm leaning toward a smokey eye. Anyways, in honor of the gala, some floral inspiration below. It's almost Friday!!

Summer Fashion

It seems like we went from Winter to Summer and bypassed Spring with how the weather has been. If I wasn't stuck inside at work today, I would be rocking one of the below outfits. It's gonna be hot and humid in NY today so stay cool peeps!
