Patterned Maxi Dress for a Wedding Weekend | Outfits

IMG_2965
Dear Laura,I love attending weddings, especially when I know the bride and groom well. You might remember this dress from the last wedding I attended in Mexico. I’m wearing a few different accessories. It was definitely cool enough for the jacket, but I spent nearly the entire evening without it as I deemed it not quite formal enough to wear until the afterparty.

Grey Stripes, Trench Coat + Pearls


Dear Shen Dove,

I have been waiting forever to wear this outfit. I picked up this dress from Anthropologie when it was still freezing out, but this outfit is the end goal that I had in mind. As soon as I saw the dress I knew it would be perfect with a trench coat and bare legs for spring. Have you ever imagined an outfit and for one reason or another had to wait ages before wearing it?…

The Cove and the Handkerchief Hem Lace Dress


Dear Mia,

How to Channel Your Inner Greta Garbo in Photos


Dear Lydia,

Sometimes the photos you take and the photos you think you take are quite different, you know? I didn’t realize quite how dramatic we looked– me with my “I want to be alone” pose and Nnenna doing her best to totally stare that squirrel down. How dare you try to steal the spotlight, Ms Squirrel!

Yeah, we’re just a bunch of crazies. We know.

Black and Silver in Black and White


Dear Brett,

Well, you know I like to wear black in the winter, and it is definitely still winter in New York. You may not know that I once thought of composing this blog entirely of black and white photos. I still think it would be awesome, but it’s too limiting for me so I’ll stick to the occasional monochrome post.
