Blue Goddess Maxi Dress

Maxi Dress: Banana Republic (Similar Here) / Sandals: Aldo (Similar Here)
Handbag: Saint Laurent / Watch: Movado / Stud Earrings: Nordstrom

I was instantly drawn to this beautiful maxi dress at Banana Republic thinking it would be the perfect dress to wear on a luxurious resort getaway. Well I was glad I bought the dress as my husband was invited to his works Elite Retreat at The Breakers in West Palm Beach for all their hard work in 2015! I was so excited and this was one of the first dresses that went into my suitcase. The key to a maxi dress for me is to be able to dress it up or down and make you feel wonderful. I paired the dress with these simple gladiator style flats from Aldo, simple accessories and of course my favorite Saint Laurent handbag.

We shot a few pictures (sorry for the slightly blurry quality they're from my iPhone) before a delicious dinner at the The Italian Restaurant at The Breakers. We were both seriously so stuffed from the yummy food. After dinner we made our way to the infamous lounge HFM (named after the resort’s founder, Henry Morrison Flagler). I’ll be doing a recap of The Breakers resort so stay tuned!

As a sidenote my maxi dress is sold out at Banana Republic so I linked a couple of similar ones below!

A Cozy Fringe Hem Cable Knit Sweater

Handbag: Saint Laurent / Heels: Levity Pumps (similar here)

If it's one thing I love about winter it's bundling up and keeping warm through the chilly weather. This Banana Republic fringe sweater is not only extremely warm but is stunning! The material is also nice and thick. The fringe at the bottom had me at first look because I knew I could dress tho sweater up or down.  The sweater is longer in the front and shorter in the back.  

I believe this sweater comes in both the camel color (the one I am wearing) and also white.  But, since I have so many white sweaters sitting in my closet, I thought a camel color sweater was a nice change.  This sweater definitely does not disappoint!  I paired this sweater with my favorite Saint Laurent handbag and these super cute heels with a tie in the back. This look is perfect for a night out or a date night!

Birthday Celebrations and a Gold Statement Skirt

December is always a special month for me not only because of the holiday season, but because of my birthday! For my birthday, my husband took me to one of the restaurants I’ve been meaning to go to for a while called Vernick.  It’s located in Center City Philadelphia (the downtown area for those of you who aren’t familiar). The food was AMAZING and I can’t wait to go back! You can check out my YELP review here.  My husband also took me to King of Prussia mall and spoiled me with wonderful gifts – he’s honestly the best! On Saturday we celebrated my birthday with our friends which was so much fun! It was definitely a memorable and special birthday!

For my birthday celebrations Saturday night, I paired this gold tweed skirt with a simple long sleeve shirt and added a glamorous asymmetrical teardrop necklace.  What drew me to the skirt was that it’s made from a thick tweed material with an inverted-pleat and also has pockets! (Seriously, who doesn't love pockets?!) The material of the dress is absolutely perfect for cold weather.  I really wanted the skirt and necklace to stand out so I paired the look with a plain black long-sleeve shirt. I added my Saint Laurent bag which was the perfect touch.

With warm temperatures here in Philadelphia it’s got me feeling like it’s spring again! This cute wrap blouse from Banana Republic with large floral print screams “spring weather”!  I paired this blouse with black jeans. Black jeans are a must have for every closet especially for the fall and winter. The ones I am wearing are high-waisted which are not only comfortable but are super flattering.

Over the weekend my husband and I visited my parents in Connecticut. The weather was absolutely gorgeous all weekend! Such a big change in weather from last time we were up there.

On Saturday we ran errands all morning and also went out to lunch.  I paired my favorite black zipper pants from Banana Republic with this cute grey sweater from H&M.  The sweater has lining underneath and the back is open which sets it apart from any other boring sweater.  To complete the look I paired my outfit with this pretty statement necklace from LOFT which has a hint of that beautiful lime color.
