Easy Waves Easy Look

Taking full advantage of dry shampoo and making this hair l a s t.

It takes close to two hours to straighten this head of hair - can you blame me for wanting a few more days of a fuss-free style? Didn't think so :).

With a fuss-free hairstyle it's only right to replicate it with an equally attainable style.

I'm wearing Slimsation pants which work wonders at concealing food babies in all the beautiful and different sizes they come in (i.e. highly recommend). Price point compared to similar leggings with shape-wear, also known as performance wear, is pretty amazing too. 

It's basically a two-for-one deal, except it looks great on. Might as well pick up two or three pairs for the season.

Sunglasses: Ray-Ban  Shirt: Madewell  Pants: c/o Slimsation  Necklace: Custom  Bracelet: Kenneth Jay Lane  Wet Pouch: c/o Pily Q (similar here)  Shoes: Zara (similar here)  Lipgloss: Buxom Full-On Lipgloss in Megan

To round out my hassle-free look I threw on my monogramed (Queens girl for life) chambray shirt and used this Pily Q wet swimsuit bag as a colorful clutch. 

File this lewk under spring-time classic. Also, had so much fun playing with my hair (something I never ever do), I'm considering playing around with different styles every other month. What do you think?

Waiting on April Showers

Let's take a 180 degree turn and get in tune with my preppier side. As in prep-for-rain side :).

In preparation for the rainy season, I gave up a pair of barely worn rain boots to someone that truly needed them.

Let me explain by starting at the beginning.

A few weeks ago I was sorting through my boots and realized I've worn my rain boots twice since 2015. TWICE. Because fashion moves so quickly this particular style of rain boot couldn't be sold and honestly I've worn them in the mud - wouldn't be right to sell them after a muddy experience. 

Instead I listed them on Craigslist for free and found someone who was super gracious for the freebies. It felt so good to give someone something they couldn't afford but needed. So, I listed a few more free items on there.

Rain Jacket: J. Crew  Shirt: Madewell  Jeans: Lucky Brand  Necklace: baublebar (old similar here)  Rings: Zoetik  Watch: RumbaTime  Purse: c/o Patricia Nash  Shoes: c/o Bearpaw  Lipgloss: c/o NARS - Priscilla

And with the additional space (and sticking with my one-out one-in rule) I went ahead and got something I will genuinely use. Like this gorgeous mint rain coat. 

You're probably wondering, what about rain boots or keeping your feet dry? Luckily a few of my boots are already weather-proof so until I desperately need a pair I'm probably going to pass for now.

Let's Chat

Hope some of you were inspired by yesterday's post and hit the ground running!

If not, that's cool too :).

This post isn't about pretty clothes or what's new in NYC - instead it's more of a life update about two things. 

First, I got a new job that I actually really like! How awesome is that. Same role, just a better work atmosphere and more positivity floating around. At my last place I felt overwhelmed and burnt out nearly everyday. Carrying around all that stress was bad for my soul and really bad for my neck. So you can only imagine how thankful my body is for this change of pace. Sayonara negativity and stressful days!

With this new job I'm taking on brand new clients so I may have to cut back on posting. Instead of four there will be three posts each week until I get situated. While I initially get settled in for the month of April - I'll be offline to really focus on my clients (#girlboss tactics) and that second thing.

Second thing being a redesign of my blog on an entirely new platform (Squarespace). Might as well give up ALL of my April brunches now, right?

So please, pardon my absence during April or peruse my archives (although don't go to far back) until I'm back on May 1st! And trust the days will fly by during April. 

P.s. Did I mention we can always connect on social?
