Cut it out.

5.17.2012

This has been my favorite little spring gem lately. The long sleeves make up for the super shortness of the dress, oh but then there are cut outs too (oops).  It is getting hot already, but it’s perfect to wear at night when it cools off and you don’t want to lug a jacket around.  And I am loving all the blues and hunter green in this floral, feels fresh.  This is a thrift find at Beacon’s Closet, shoes are 80/20 and back pack is vintage from Stella Dallas.

Traveling Chic.

5.8.2012

Hi friends! Just got back from an amazing weekend in Detroit, suffering a bit from food coma though It’s good to be back in New York to my salad and smoothie routine. As much as I love dining out, I prefer cooking at home, it’s nice to know what is going in the food, you know  Here is a quick snapshot of me arriving in Detroit. My go to airport outfit: high bun, sweater, fancy necklace, skinny jeans, high heels(but comfy) and a good ol big bag like this one from Rebecca Minkoff.  I am absolutely terrified of flying, but I do love airports. Which is why it is important for me to dress up a lil and enjoy the scene at the Airport Lounge! If you are following me on Instagram….then you have already seen this lil candid gem—but if you are not, you should be! @laceeswan

When I saw Marina in this look on a recent article with StyleCaster, I fell in love, and immediately thought…I need this look! So very cute!  Really feeling the mohair fuzziness with the pencil skirt! I remember seeing a Marina at SXSW a couple of years ago in her Minnie Mouse overalls, love this new feminine look on her!

a few of my favorite items to get this look!
