Take Me Out To A Ballgame

LOCATION: BALTIMORE • APRIL 11th, 2017

Outfit Details: 
Madewell Shirt, Jeans, Tote Bag; Converse Sneakers, Ray-Ban Sunglasses, Baseball Hat

It's Orioles Season! Opening Day Festivities kicked off the 2017 season last week at Camden Yard. To be completely honest, while most of Baltimore was gearing up for baseball season, I was having a meltdown due to the pending NCAA National Championship game with UNC vs. Gonzaga. And now that UNC has won (Go Heels!), I can return to cheering on our city's most beloved sports team!

I practically live in these v-neck tees and jeans from Madewell and it is my go to off-duty look. Their clothes are so comfortable, the fit is amazing, and the t-shirt comes in an array of colors! All you need is to throw on a hat of your favorite sports team and you have an instant game day outfit!

The world of baseball is relatively new to me - the last time I attended a game was probably in middle school where my choir class sang the National Anthem! Last year was the first time I'd ever been to a MLB game and I look forward to spending more warm evenings with friends cheering on the Orioles. 

Next time you visit Camden Yard, don't miss the Cheaspeake Fries - crab dip topped waffle fries with Old Bay. You won't regret it!

National Stripes Day

LOCATION: BALTIMORE • March 31th, 2017

Outfit Details: 
J.Crew Jumpsuit, Illesteva Sunglasses, Ann Taylor Heels, Kate Spade Clutch, BaubleBar Earrings

Happy National Stripe Day!!! Yes, I know this is a completely made up by J.Crew, but this is one imaginary holiday I can definitely get behind. Haha, stripes are pretty much a staple of my wardrobe, my go-to "color" that works for every season and occasion. This wide-legged jumpsuit has been a great transitional piece for spring and easily dressed up or down depending on your mood.

Blue and white is my favorite color combination when it comes to stripes (here and here). The trick to wearing stripes is to pick an item that has narrower stripes, regardless of whether or not they are vertical or horizontal. Smaller stripes will elongate your body, giving you a polished look. With a full body print, it's best to pair the outfit with solid colors like I did with my pink sunnies, heels, and purse.

Recently, I'm fully embraced the jumper/romper trend, learning that the key to finding a good jumper is to find a cut that flatters your shape. A lot of jumpers tend to pull at the torso on me, so somethings I have to size up or find ones that are more flowy in nature. I love this wide-legged jumper since it's gives the illusion that I'm wearing a dress!

Fell's Point was one of the first places I fell in love with when I moved to Baltimore. Beloved by locals and tourists alike, the historic waterfront neighborhood is lined with charming rowhouses and cobblestone roads and there are plenty of amazing restaurants and bars to explore. Some of my favorite spots to check out include Thames Oyster House for dinner & Pitango for gelato!

Neutrals for Spring

LOCATION: WASHINGTON DC • March 28th, 2017

Outfit Details: 
J. Crew Jacket, Banana Republic Dress, Elizabeth & James Sunglasses, Kate Spade Clutch

Happy Spring! After the last bout snow and icy cold temperatures, I couldn't be more excited for the days to become longer, warmer, and brighter. The cherry blossoms outside our apartment are starting to get really fluffy and vibrant and you can really feel the earth coming back to life. I thought this was a good time to share some inspiration for transitional pieces with you all. 

I love this white poplin dress from Banana Republic because it's simple yet classic. Poplin is one of my favorite fabrics, it's strong with a bit of texture and also lightweight, which makes it perfect for spring and summer. Since spring weather can still be unpredictable, I layered the dress with my favorite camel topcoat that I bought this past winter (blazer version here). 

My secret weapon to wearing white is always keeping a Tide pen in my purse! If you are accident prone like me (it's inevitable that I end up wearing my coffee at some point) then a Tide Pen is a must! I actually wore this ensemble hosting my best friend's baby shower (here) and I'm thinking I might wear it again for Easter next month!

Thanks for stopping by!

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Baby Shower

In honor of my dear friend Emily, I wanted to share photos from her baby shower! Hosting this star-themed shower alongside my friends Ashley, Chelsea, and Rebecca was such a treat! We used to be in bible study together before life separated us to five different states across the country. I can't believe we were able to coordinate schedules and gather on a Thursday (of all days) to celebrate a lovely momma-to-be and her baby! 

Special thanks to Rebecca, Michelle, Ashley, and Chelsea for making the shower a success!

Feminine Ruffle

LOCATION: BALTIMORE • FEBRUARY 7th, 2017

Outfit Details: 
J. Crew Jacket, Club Monaco Dress (sold out, sweater version here), Elizabeth & James Sunglasses, Joie Boots, Jaeger Bag

I can't believe we are already a week into February! It's so nice to have settled back into a routine after taking many short trips over the holidays. I've been challenging myself to get out of the house even when it's so cold out. It's so hard when all I long for is sunshine. I really want to explore more of Baltimore this year and be able to share that with you readers! 

In the afternoon, we stopped by one of our favorite coffee shops in the neighborhood for a quick pick-me-up. They have the best pastries in Baltimore - both sweet and savory kinds, and their Vietnamese Iced Coffee is superb! 

I picked up this sweater dress from Club Monaco on one of our recent trips down to DC. I was instantly in love when I saw the delicate ruffles peeking out from under the collar and cuffs. The merino wool is incredibly soft and cozy. Turns out, both Danny and I are a sucker for ruffles! 

Over-the-knee boot are all the rage these days and if you have been searching for a good Stuart Weitzman alternative, then look no further. The Joie pair are perfect! Since moving further north to Baltimore, I have found wearing dresses in the winter to be extra challenging since I rather be warm than stylish. These boots allow for both - their versatility allows them to be paired with jeans and an oversized sweater more a more casual look. 

Which are your favorite cafes in Baltimore? I'd love to here about them!
