Shopping Wish List!

As I sit here at my desk on this beautiful Friday afternoon, I can't help but have shopping on the brain. It doesn't help the fact that my current view out the window is of the Buy Buy Summer Sidewalk Sale, either...

Despite my eagerness to hit the sales going on right outside my window, I have decided to do a little bit of pre-shopping. While browsing, I made a brief little wish list for myself of a few things that I love right now. I hope this list gets you excited for some shopping this weekend! 

Get ready to do some damage.

  1. Club Monaco Elsa Pant $149.50 2. GAP Military Belt $34.95 3. L. Bartlett J Brand Jacket 4. Accents Black Top $39 5. Banana Republic Braxton Flat $120 6. LOFT Graphic Print Pouch $19.50

THROWBACK THURSDAY: I Love the '90s

For Throwback Thursday today I'm taking a stroll down memory lane to the dear old days of my childhood: the '90s. For those of you fellow '80s babies out there who grew up during this decade too, I'm sure you can back me up when I say: it was awesome. 

I can remember it like it was just yesterday: Nickelodeon wasn't just a channel; it was life. My biggest fear was running out of batteries to my ipod portable cd player. My favorite past times were AIM, playing Dream Phone, and dominating at Mario Kart on Nintendo 64 (Princess Peach was my girl).  "As if!" and "you've got it dude" became regular phrases thanks to Cher and the adorable Michelle Tanner. I stayed awake at night worrying about Ross and Rachel's relationship status (they were so not on a break) and I dreamed of the day I would marry all of my celebrity crushes whose posters covered every inch of my walls (JTT 4-Ever).

One part of the '90s has managed to make a comeback- fashion. I will admit that not all of the trends from this decade should make a reappearance... I can't quite say I am ready to break out a pair of MC Hammer pants just yet. However, a modern approach to the favorite looks from the '90s has been a recent favorite look of mine. I hope you are ready for a fashion flashback!

1. Gap Floral Ruffle Dress $59.95 2. Banana Republic Felt Panama Hat $59.50 3. Pitaya Denim Vest $36 4. Club Monaco Cross-body Bag 5. Flud Boombox Watch at Demerara 6. Colored Denim Jacket at Accents 7. Loft Textured Metal Cuff $34.50 8. Jeffrey Campbell Platform Sneakers at LF Stores

While we are reminiscing, I couldn't help but be reminded of some of my 90's memories while growing up. Although it was hard to limit myself to just a few, here are some of my favorites:

I hope you have enjoyed this quick little trip down memory lane! What are some of your favorite memories from the '90s?

Seeing Stars and Stripes

Lezbionest. Independence Day has become some sort of Fashion Holiday it seems... alongside the sea of green on St. Patrick's Day and the hippie-outbreak at Coachella. Gone are the days of throwing on your red bikini from 5 years ago underneath a ratty t-shirt you picked up on Spring Break 1999 in Key West. Oh no. It seems our style expectations of the red, white and blue have gone up... along with our American pride. Whatever your style may be, it's all about individuality and freedom - which is what this country is all about! Whether you're beachside, lakeside, poolside or even grillside... We've got something for you to show off your patriotic spirit!

From flirty dresses and cute tops to casual cutoffs and swimwear, the options are endless this 4th of July! I love how the American flag is incorporated onto just about anything- even denim vests (I want to wear the one pictured below year-round!).

Column 1: Banana Republic Paige wristlet $47.50 ; Gap Asymmetrical Striped Dress $64.95 ; J Brand Vintage Star Cut Off Shorts at L. Bartlett $169 Column 2:  American Flag Denim Vest at LF $208 ; Ray-Ban sunglasses $189.95 ; Wildfox Seeing Stars Sweater at L. Bartlett $225 ; Flag Sports Bra from LF $48 Column 3: Club Monaco Sara Phoncho Dress $98.50 ; Lucky Brand Riley Laser-Print Striped shorts  $79.50; Blue Swimsuit at y&i clothing boutique ; Kendra Scott Danielle Earrings $60 Column 4: Pitaya American Flag Tank $24 / Bracelets $12-$15 each ; Gap Striped Straw Tote $59.95 ; Accents Blue Top $34

1. Red T-Rex Tank at Demerara $44 2. Gap Camo Floral Board Shorts $29.99 3. Brooks Brothers Faded Cotton Baseball Cap $13.50 4. Banana Republic Vintage v-neck tee $24.99 5. Rainbow Flip Flops at Lucky Brand $49 6. Gap Flat Front Shorts $29.99

Happy 4th, everyone! BE SAFE!

50 Shades of Summer

If I know one thing is for sure, it's that the only shades of grey I will be seeing this summer is my next poolside read. Today marks the first day of summer (although the brutal Texas heat index had me fooled) and I am seeing COLOR. Blues, pinks, corals, mint... the list goes on. What I love about this colorful fashion craze is the ability to play around with the range of shades and hues. A style that has been hard to miss- literally- is neon. From denim to fun party dresses, the electric wave of color definitely will make your outfit stand out and pop! 

Fluorescent hues not your style? No problem. Pretty colors in softer tones are a chic and easy way to brighten up any summer wardrobe. Wear them in bold prints and patterns, mix and match different shades, or even try the monochromatic look (see the oh-so-minty Club Monaco outfit below- I'm obsessed) to create a unique outfit for whatever your style.  Check out some of my favorite finds from all over West Village that are sure to add some color to your summer.  


All I can say is...things are looking pretty bright over here in the Vil! 

1. Club Monaco Shawna Silk Top $129.50 / Kera Crop Pant $129.50

2. Bow Top from LF  $120

3. L. Bartlett Dolce Vita Archer Sandal in Mint $65

4. Colored denim from Accents $39

5. Kendra Scott Valencia Necklace in Pink $120

6. L. Bartlett Naven 2 Tone Bombshell Dress (at L. Bartlett) $349

Gobble Up Black Friday Deals in West Village

Let's be honest... after the tryptophan kicks in, the last thing you'll want to do is get in a fight over a parking spot, only to stand in a mile-long line to find out that the thing you have been pining over all year is completely sold out. (I swear I'm not still bitter...)


Instead, avoid the shuffle and take a leisurely stroll through the West Village (hot chocolate in-hand), and peruse the goods at your own pace. While you're here, stop and grab a bite or treat to refuel. Here's the skinny on what we've got going on for this Thanksgiving holiday...
