Go gorg for grad!

Graduation season is approaching and some of my friends are on the hunt for the perfect grad dresses. With graduations most often taking place early in the day and usually requiring one to sit thru long ceremonies, it is important to wear something comfortable, daytime dressy and fun to allow you to celebrate yours or someone special's big day!

Rebecca Minkoff is killing it, lots of great dresses (but careful you may steal the spotlight in one of these)!

DVF is always a good staple for fun, flirty and comfortable dresses that flatter any physique.

Some pretty printed options... (from left to right: Porter Grey, Mara Hoffman, Milly, Nanette Lepore)

All available on shopbop.com

Boppin' around in the Big Easy...

Recap to come next week...have a great weekend!

Team Krissy - spread the word!

Last week, with the help of my dear friends the Kelleys, I held a bone marrow registry drive at Cornell's business school for my bff Krissy. Krissy is half-asian/half-caucasian and 100% awesome. There is a huge need for people to join the bone marrow registry, especially minorities who are greatly underrepresented. We had a wonderful response at Cornell (70 people registered!!) and helped spread the word and hope to hold a similar drive in NYC soon.  Please visit the teamkrissy.com site to learn more and if you are interested in hosting a drive in your area let me know! Registering is super simple, it only requires a swab of the cheek, and could save a life so lend a hand any way that you can. xoxo

Great last minute finds

I was running around like a mad woman today trying to scoop up a few last minute essentials for my trip. I always forget about James Perse, but this tank top is amazing. It is super soft, and as always available in great neutrals. It looks a lot like the T by Alexander Wang tanks, but you don't have to wear another tank under this one as it hugs closer to the body. 

Everyone always talks about how horrible fashion was in the 80's and I agree, but that doesn't stop me from loving the electric yellow neon fashion out there right now. J.Crew has an awesome color they are calling bright kiwi that I have scooped up in a pair of shorts and a soft, worn-in tee. I'll be sporting these shorts in New Orleans for sure...added bonus, it should be easy to find me in a crowd!

Great, basic sandal for summertime from Belle by Sigerson Morrison (I do think it is a tad pricey, but it was super cute).  The metallic makes it easy to transition from day to night. 

Closet case

I am having serious closet envy - I have been looking at different closet layouts for a drafting project and the only thing I can focus on is how much my closet sucks! There is no walking in, and in fact there is no walking around it when the door is open...but such is apt living in NYC. A girl can dream, so I have compiled some images of my favorite closets and hopefully inspiration pieces for my future dream-boat of a closet.

Nothing can fill the void that is publishing without Domino Mag - a goody from their archive. Chandelier and mirrored dresser, fabulous.

If there weren't enough reasons to turn green at the mention of Kelly Wearstler, check out where she lays her digs to rest. A-mazing.

I can only imagine the yummy clothes and accessories you would find in Tory Burch's closet. The bright and cheery orange would start every day the right way.

I really appreciate the closet that was featured in House Beautiful's May issue. Just because it's a closet, doesn't mean you can't accessorize with a little wall art. And Jackie O. photos...style inspiration every time you get dressed. Making the most out of your space.

p.s. it is Spring time so get your Spring cleaning going! I recently sent off a ton of old pieces to a friend of mine with a booming Ebay business. If you're interested in making some $$ on your discards let me know and I can put you in touch with her. Cleaner closet, bigger wallet = win, win.
