I’m heading to D.C. tomorrow to spend the long weekend with some of my very best friends from college. I haven’t seen them since we graduated, and I’m so excited to catch up and get a little glimpse into their new lives! We’ve got lots of fun plans: a couple restaurants, a hike, a barbecue, and … More Summer 2015 Capsule: Packing for Labor Day
I’m not super into bright colors, but I also very rarely wear only black and white, like in this outfit. For this reason, I thought it would be fun to step out of my comfort zone and experiment with this combination.

I was initially hesitant about this bright plaid blouse, but quickly fell in love with it in the dressing room. It’s crisply tailored yet the fabric is super soft, and very … More Summer 2015 Capsule: Outfit 24
