I absolutely adore my recent purchase of the rugby stripe boatneck tops from J.Crew. Though someone told me they are dry clean only (I didn't notice when I got them) I can get a few wears out of them before I have to send them away for cleaning. I love the way the bold, thick stripes look. Today I paired the preppy top with lace and ...

Bright Into Fall
It's still summer and it's still hot and I'm milking that for all it's worth. That means wearing as much white, bright and neon as I can before I start getting weird looks (though, thankfully, the fall color palette is full of brights so I'll be able to carry a lot of my items over). When I was getting dressed this morning I wanted to wear a ...
Stripe Addict
Sale alert! The J.Crew top I'm wearing in this photo is final sale plus 30% off! Get yours here. I absolutely love stripes. They can really add fun dimension to an outfit and are totally office-appropriate. This wider stripe is a fun change from my typical skinnier stripes. When it comes to stripes, variety is key. ...
Lace, Lilac & Lulu on a Friday
Though I haven't quite jumped on the peplum train yet, I do have one top, that, when belted, nearly fits the bill. It's not quite the same look, but it's a nice change over having every top tucked in. Perfect for a Friday at the office. Lace top- Zara (similar, similar, really cute option)Skirt- J.Crew (buy it ...
From Desk to Dinner on a Friday
Happy Friday to you! H and I just got back from dinner and I am stuffed! Now we're relaxing watching season 2 of Suits, quite possibly the best show on TV right now. I only have some iPhone photos today---but here's how I styled this top/blazer combo from office to dinner: Top- Express; Blazer- Express; Pants- Banana ...
Monday Gingham
I like to start Monday off with an outfit I love. But with love sometimes comes loss and I say this because I pretty much lost circulation in my feet because of these shoes. I'll be the first to admit that these shoes are horribly uncomfortable, but they are super cute (and it's not so bad if you'll be at your desk all day)...or so I tried to ...
Black on Black
I don't know what got into me this morning. Maybe it's the fact that I saw a personal trainer at my new gym on Sunday and realized that I am not as in shape as I thought I was (and can barely walk today)....and maybe it's that I need to curb my sugar addiction... or maybe it's because it was gloomy out...but I decided to wear all black. GASP! It's ...
Shorts That Go the Distance
My bright purple J.Crew chino shorts are arguably one of my best summer purchases. They're comfy, versatile and fun. So fun, that I seem to live in them on weekends. Today was no exception. I met with Magen, Monica and Mishelle (whoa, that's a whole lotta "Ms") for brunch at Tiny Boxwoods. If you haven't been there, it's amazing! I had ...
Sweaters for Summer?
Navy blue and hot pink might just be one of the best color combos ever. It's not quite as harsh as black and hot pink and the rich, deep blue plays well off of the neon color of the sweater. This outfit was incredibly comfortable and felt totally laid-back---but the lace of the skirt made it look a little more dressed up than it ...
A Wrinkle in Time & A Very Special Young Girl- Help Her Birthday Wish Come True!
Oh linen. So perfect for the summer, yet so wrinkle-prone. What's a girl to do? Wear it anyway, I suppose. Does casual Friday mean "linen wrinkles permitted?" Probably not, but a girl can wish, no?For all of you Lulu fans---this post is for you :) and please read the end of this post, because I think the story will move and inspire ...
