I’m back from my trip to Turks and Caicos! It was filled with amazing turquoise water views, delicious Caribbean food, relaxing on the beach, snorkeling with rainbow fish, and lots of fun with friends!
I’ve been to Atlanta several times over the last few years, visiting two of my closest friends who have spent some time there doing their med school rotations. They are both heading off to residency soon, which meant one last girls trip in ATL (for now). I arrived to some rainy cold weather, and we had some surprise snow (yay!) on my first night. The reaction to the incoming weather was actually pretty crazy, at least coming from someone who grew up in New York blizzards and now lives through Florida thunderstorms and hurricane warnings. The local businesses started closing at 2pm in fear of black ice and dangerous weather. My friends and I laughed it off later when it was actually less offensive weather than our Florida storms – just some light snow and beautiful winter weather! We hit a few hot spots while I was in town and even…
For our trip to San Fran, my girlfriends and I stayed at Hotel Triton, an eccentrically decorated boutique hotel in the Union Square area. The hotel opened in 1913 and has always been known for it’s boho chic and eccentric style. There is a ton of funky artwork and decor throughout the hotel, and guests are even invited to purchase any pieces that catch their eye. Their rooms have bold and bright style, and beyond their Deluxe Rooms, they have celebrity decorated suites that range in themes! They have a coffee bar every morning (even with soy milk, though I guess I would not expect anything less in San Francisco), and a free wine hour every evening in the lobby! This boutique hotel was the perfect fit for our fun girls getaway, and a perfect location to explore San Francisco! (Hotel Triton offered me a complimentary stay for my trip in exchange…
I am thoroughly obsessed with these chunky olive green lace-up heels that I have been sporting for the past couple of months. They are truly comfortable and the color is perfect for Fall, but can transition to any season. The brand of these is Parker & Sky and I couldn’t find the exact pair, but I was inspired by the olive color and found some great options in similar colors. See below for my recommendations (if the shoe isn’t shown in olive or dark green, simply click the shoe to view the other color options).
I had such a great long Labor Day Weekend. One of my closest friends came to visit from med school in Atlanta, and we had lots of fun -filled with (too much) food and (too many) cocktails! We started with pedicures on Saturday, followed by exploring the Plant Street Market in Winter Garden, Florida. The market is kind of like a very mini Chelsea Market, with a feel of local food, vendors, and a brewery. We indulged in food by Five Thymes Five and a beer flight from Crooked Can Brewing Company. Sunday was definitely a “Sunday Funday”. Bottomless mimosas followed by some bar hopping in Downtown Orlando. That called for a casual and relaxing Monday, spent with Brooklyn Water Company bagels in the morning, and the rest of the day resting in bed. I hope everyone had a fun Labor Day! I’m off to Dallas Wednesday through Sunday, so…
I’ve been gravitating towards gray for some time now. The past few seasons, I just can’t stay away. There are so many shades of gray and it’s a color that can easily be taken from day to night with the right accessories and shoes, which makes it such a flexible color for staple pieces and separates. Last night I paired this navy snakeskin French Connection clutch with these gray MIA open toe wedge booties to work these neutral pieces into my look. I’ve put together some great gray staples + navy clutch options to get ready for the Fall season:
