Casual Dresses

Posted on April 24, 2012 by Brenna

I love the warmer months because I can break out my dresses. However, I often fret over whether a dress is casual enough for daytime. I think these dresses can do double-duty– dress them up with heels or make them low-key with a cross-body and cute sandals.

Theory | Dasher stretch-knit dress $345

Altruzzara for J. Crew | Patricia Dress $145

Rag & Bone | Monterrey Dress $325

T by Alexander Wang | Cotton Netting Combo Muscle Tee Dress $120

And my move to New York is still underway! I’ve booked my one-way plane ticket for next Monday. Time for serious suitcase scrutiny. Dresses that are multi-functional are a huge plus.

Tory Burch | Aine Flat Sandals

T by Alexander Wang | Boxy Crew Neck Pullover Sweater

T by Alexander Wang | Cotton Knit Skirt

Alice + Olivia | High waist wide leg pants

K. Jacques | Jival Asymmetrical Thong Sandals

Are you a fan of neon? I must admit that hot pink holds a special place in my heart.

November’s Under $100 Finds

Posted on November 19, 2011 by Brenna

I love browsing gift guides. I’m not ready to call this one quite yet. I prefer to enjoy Thanksgiving before Christmas begins. However, if you must know, I bought the Micheal Buble Christmas album last night, and I may have listened to it on the way home from work…
