Michael Kors Rose Gold "Bradshaw" Watch (now on sale!!)

 

This is what I wore to Day 2 of #LuckyFABB (aka the networking brunch) which was probably one of my favorite parts of the entire conference. It was so great to chat with all my friends and connect with new ladies (and 1 guy!)

 

I can already tell that I'm going to live in this maxi dress all summer long. The pretty halter like neckline and open back makes it dressy enough for fancier occasions but I can also throw on some sandals and wear it to a casual dinner after a day on the beach. The ladies at the brunch went crazy for it and now you can get your hands on it too!

 

Did you guys have a great Easter? I've been so slammed with work at my new job that I've hardly had a second to breathe.. can't wait to share more information with you guys about it! :) Happy Tuesday!

Recap: Macy's Spring Essentials Fashion Show

 

Last month was a majorly exciting one for not only my blog but for me! I was asked to co-host a fashion show at Macy's to showcase their new Impulse shopping section! I had such a blast with Sharon Delaney (who by the way was a HUGE inspiration to me growing up) as we got to chat about spring trends, what's back in style and how every day women like you and me can rock these looks and stay on budget! Suzanne Libfraind from Wardrobe Consulting did a fabulous job styling the models while a few students from the local Art Institute assisted her and the models.

 

It was seriously one of the most fun events I've ever done and reminded me of how much I missed being in front of a camera and a crowd. Scroll through to see a few photos from the event and what I wore. A HUGE thanks to Macy's for asking me to be part of this fabulous event!

 

 

So excited to walk out and see everyone!

 

Talking with Sharon about how to mix prints (I think I convinced her to do it!)

Thanks to Suzanne for picking out my outfit! I LOVED this open back jumpsuit

 

Diane rocked classic and elegant looks all afternoon. This black-and-white combo was perfect for her!

It's been a crazy start to April so I'm just getting around to my LuckyFABB recaps and outfits. Eeeeek! I'm already missing the warm and sunny LA weather. Seriously though, less than 10 minutes back in my stomping grounds and I felt right at home. I had the best weekend thanks to several lovely ladies who I'll be sharing about a little later on..

 

After flying in on Thursday morning, I had my hair re-colored at Ramirez Tran salon by the absolutely amazing (and my new BFF) Stephen. He is a color genius y'all and created the most perfect shade of blonde. After my marathon hair appointment, I had 2 pre-FABB events to attend and this is what I wore to both. I love a good crop top and wearing it with a modest midi skirt is my new favorite outfit. There's something sexy and ladylike about the combo don't you think? Shop my black-and-nude picks below.

 

Stay tuned for more LA pictures and re-caps! Happy Wednesday everyone! xo
