More My Style Pill and Coach…MYNY!
I woke up at 7:45 this morning like a kid on Christmas and immediately turned on my computer to watch the Coach MYNY video! It was so much fun to see all the footage, and bloggers come together in the final video, and on the Coach site no less! If you haven’t checked it out, do so now! : )
Coach Feature: My NY!
It’s finally here! The Coach video is up and running! Wahoo! Check it out on the official Coach website, here and on YouTube, here!
I took these photos a few weeks ago, right when I got my new Coach shoes and bag, and loved the outfit so much that I wanted to save it for a special post. Well, if this isn’t a super special post, then I don’t know what is!
Everyone involved in this amazing project was super awesome and I definitely recommend checking out the other bloggers who were featured: Karen of Where Did U Get That, Joelle and Noel of The Owls Are Not What They Seem, and Jessica from What I Wore.
Now, I urge you all to go to the Coach site and check out their newest line, The Kristin Collection, along with their new spring heels! For direct links to the shoes and bag shown above, see below!
***Sending out a HUGE thanks to all the awesome girls at Coach, the awesome guys at StyleCaster, to Jillian, my lovely hair and makeup gal, and to Karen from Purple Lab for getting me involved in the first place! xoxo***

Happy Birthday, Daddy!
(This photo was taken over Christmas when Barnaby was still able to fit in the palm of our hand!)
(I found these old photos of my Dad and just had to share them with you guys. Aren’t they awesome?! My Dad’s so handsome. :))
Wishing the best Dad in the WHOLE wide world, a very happy, happy, happy Birthday! Can’t wait to celebrate with you! xoxo
Personal Post: Beach Day With Barnaby!
Happy Thursday! Did everyone have a fun St. Patrick’s Day? I for one, was in bed by 10PM. It was amazing. My day actually started at 3:30AM when I woke up to catch a cab to the airport. I arrived in Seattle around mid-morning and was immediately greeted by the best dog in the world: Barnaby. You all remember Barnaby, right? This adorable little baby? Well, now he is 4 months old and weighs 50 pounds. Yep, he’s gonna be a big boy.
Once we got home, I dropped off my one small carry-on (I managed to pack light again!) and we headed to the beach close by to where I grew up, with my one of my best friends Allie, who recently moved back to Seattle from New York. It was amazing to spend some quality Northwest beach time with her, my parents and of course, The Barnster. Oh yes. There are about 1,000 nicknames for this dog. But honestly, he is truly amazing, has the best disposition, and is ridiculously handsome. He is so good natured, friendly and just overall a very happy puppy. Okay sorry, enough bragging. Anyway, here are a few fun shots from our day at the beach!
***Small Dedication: To the Seattleites reading this blog—whether you are either currently in town, back in New York, or elsewhere—I dedicate all the scenery shots to you! ***
Dad and Barn ready to tear it up.
Edmonds waterfront. Heavenly.
Take 1: Barn, look at the camera!
Take 2: Kissy face! I’m not going to lie, I loved every second of it.
Take 3: Aaand we’re down, nibbling on a rock.
Everytime he got intimidated by the bigger, more aggressive dogs, he found his way in-between my legs. Those dogs won’t know what hit them when Barna-boo hits a hefty 150.
He ran himself ragged!
Time to go home.
Okay, now I promise to go back to outfit posting. Actually, I will do so later today once I finally get my jet-lagged self motivated and in proper clothing. In the meantime, I hope you enjoyed the photos of our day at the beach! xoxo
***Disclaimer: Over the next week and a half, content including Barnaby will probably, most likely, just about positively, show up again and again on this blog.***
***A Note of Appreciation: Due to said disclaimer, I would like you to know that even though this blog is usually about fashion, I appreciate your patience in letting me share parts of my personal life with you, and hope you enjoy and fall in love with The Barn Barn as much as I have.***
Behind The Scenes: Steve Madden Shoot #2!
Hi all! Happy St. Patrick’s Day! So, I’m off to Seattle today (6:30AM flight!) but wanted to share these fun behind-the-scene shots from my Steve Madden post that took place on Monday. I can’t wait to get the rest of the professional photos back, and will make sure to share them with you, my lovely, sweet readers. You guys are seriously a joy and make my day every day with your sweet words and constant support. I am sending a huge thank you to you all, and will be back up and blogging tomorrow. Westsiiiiide. xoxo
Press Preview: Obey Clothing
Isn’t Vanessa adorable?
My wolf head ring!
Last week I went and met the lovely Vanessa from Obey, who was kind enough to show me the brand’s new line of clothing and accessories. The preview was held at the very hip and chic Ace Hotel, which I am still jonesing to have brunch there—any takers?—and I immediately fell in love the space. The items were showcased in one of the sleeping rooms, and the selection was fresh, edgy and fun. Truth be told, I wanted it all. I took a few snaps of my favorite pieces, but my very favorite item was the wolf head ring that was given to me in the gift bag! I have pretty much been wearing it since and am mildly obsessed with it. Isn’t it fierce and fab?! Yes, I just used the word fierce, that is how awesome I think this ring is. Anyhoo, check out their current pieces online, and I promise to keep you posted on when their new items become available. Thanks a million Vanessa! xoxo
Sneak Peaks…
Since the weather was pretty much horrendous all weekend, (these photos were taken on Thursday) I wasn’t really able to snap too many outfits for my “Weekend Wear” posts, so instead here are a couple fun little teasers for you in the meantime. Lots more to come about these goodies, just you wait! Until then…
Hope you all had a lovely weekend, despite the rain and wind! xoxo
***Makeup products shown above are from Purple Lab. Details to come soon, but in the meantime, check out the website! Also, free shipping on orders of $50 or more during the month of March!***
My Outfit: A Rainy Day In Brooklyn
Happy rainy Friday! So, a fun little teaser…as you can see, I am sporting my curly hair, which is a rarity on the blog, but expect a super fun post all about it next week. More to come on that soon! Anyway, I am spending the day with one of my best friends, Lex, is who currently 6 1/2 months pregnant, (!!!) at her lovely home in Carroll Gardens. We grabbed lunch, coffee (for me) and a cookie at Naider’s, which is a lovely little cafe with yummy food. This weekend I plan on laying low, spending time inside watching movies and being lazy. What are you up to this rainy weekend? xoxo

Jeans: Sevens
Belt: H&M

Bag: Courtesy of Coach
Rain boots: Hunters
My Outfit: Purple Crush
Okay, so this dress is case of love at first sight. Honestly, I walked by it once on Bleecker street about a week back, and drooled over it, but kept on walking. Then, this past weekend, by happenstance, I walked by the store again, but this time, I dragged my friend in after me, and after five minutes in the dress, it was a done deal. Anyway, since we are being totally honest here, yesterday, I put on my pretty new party dress, and wore it it for like 20 minutes—just sitting cross legged on my bed doing work—before actually getting dressed. I also created this outfit for pure fun and haven’t actually worn it out of the house yet. Methinks that needs to change asap.
My Outfit:
Blazer: F21
Dress: Blush
Belt: Urban Outfitters
earrings: Urban Outfitters
Ring: F21
Sunnies: Thrifted from 20Twenty in Ballard, WA
Shoes: F21
My Outfit: Sky High
Aren’t these shoes so pretty? I am in love with the color Blush and have been for years. I once bought a pair of patent leather light pink/nude colored heels twice, because I loved them so much. I can’t get enough of this lovely hue, because really, it goes with everything. And, as it turns out, neutrals and nudes are big right now, so I urge you to add this color into your wardrobe immediately. You can easily do so by heading on over to the Steve Madden website and checking out their “Blush” section of footwear. Plus, you can use my very special code, which you can always find listed on the ad on the right hand side of the page, MSP15, at checkout to receive 15 percent off! What’s better than that? : )
