A New Year.

Celebrating New Years Eve in Copenhagen.

My New Year's celebrations this year were rather different than in years past. Instead of ringing in the new year with friends, I found myself alone in Copenhagen - and feeling a bit down to be honest. It was the loneliness that comes with traveling by yourself paired with feeling out of place in a city I didn't know much about. After foiled dinner plans from Google Maps leading me to closed restaurants (lesson learned: always make reservations!), I ended up back at my hotel with a pint of Ben & Jerry's and a tallboy…

Bow Neck Sweater.

Bow Neck Sweater.

Maybe I've been inspired by all the gift wrapping that I've been doing lately but this bow neck sweater from J. Crew has been one of my favorite pieces to wear over the past few weeks (and was at the top of my packing list for the holidays!). I love how the simple black bow at the neck adds a really fun touch to an otherwise simple gray sweater and it's so soft and works really well worn on its own or layered with an oxford. J.

December Cravings.

Cravings // December 2016.

My December Cravings tends to be sort of my letter to Santa each year but honestly, this year it was tough to pull together what I really have my eye on right now. I've been so focused on gifting for others and am honestly just so looking forward to seeing my family next week and then heading off  on a little European solo adventure (more on that to come soon!), that I really don't need anything else. It's funny how as kids we all had Christmas lists a mile long but as an adult, you ultimately end…

Falling for Plaid.

Old Navy PlaidOld Navy Plaid Skirt for Fall with Black Blouse and M. Gemi Patent Pumps. Skirt for Fall with Black Blouse and M. Gemi Patent Pumps.

After officially transitioning my closet over to my fall/winter wardrobe, I noticed a serious trend: so. many. plaids! Whether it's cozy flannel pajama pants or a button-down shirt, I can't seem to resist the pattern as soon as there's a little chill in the air and this Old Navy plaid skirt is clearly no exception. I dressed the skirt up a bit with a neck tie blouse and my favorite pair of pumps (how good is the patent finish on this M. Gemi pair?!) for a look that I'll definitely be recreating as soon as…

The Perfect Outfit for Meetings.

The Perfect Outfit for Meetings.

Anyone else always seem to find themselves scrambling to figure out what to wear when a big meeting or client dinner pops up on your calendar? It's one of those things that never seems to get easier and while my days of wearing suits for meetings are long gone (thank goodness!), I still always like to dress it up a bit when clients are involved and swap out my usual workweek denim for something fancier. One combination that always works and requires little effort is sticking with black and white. A good pair of black dress pants…
