Kate Hudson for Ann Taylor Collection: Tank, Shoes (c/0) /Ann Taylor Sunglasses (c/o) / Mango Blazer / Paige Shorts (c/o) / Jennifer Haley Clutch (c/o – last worn here) /Lipstick: Milani in High Voltage

I am a sucker for simple and classic pieces that go with anything, and a clean white tank is just the thing for that tricky transition from spring into summer. In the cooler months, layer it under a blazer or boyfriend sweater of your choice, and then as it begins to warm up,  just rock a tank and shorts for an easy and chic look. I like to add heels to dress up a basic ensemble like this one, but you can always opt for a lower wedge if a high cork keel is feeling too much for you. A couple of these pieces – tank and heels - are from the Kate Hudson for Ann Taylor Collection, which launched on their site today, but you can check out and shop the whole collection here! xo

I always love pairing two unassuming colors together that should clash, but instead end up complimenting each other. In this case, mint with a splash of neon not only makes me think of an ice cold mojito, but offers up a fresh and fun look for summer. xo

Today’s Friday Favorites is going to be quick since I just got to the beach in Alabama to attend Hangout Fest for part two of my project with Creative Council and UGG Australia. We are headed out as I type but here is a quick shot of a few of my favorite things that I am loving at the moment. Happy Friday! xo

These photos were taken back in April when I was in Sonoma with my parents and I’m finally getting around to sharing them, so sorry for the delay! We stayed at this adorable little cottage on a vineyard just outside of town (my Dad always manages to find the best places) and it was the perfect reprieve from the long days of driving. During this trip I rotated between a few pairs of shorts and tanks but practically lived in this hat (as I am sure you could tell from my Instagrams), these comfy Dr. Scholl’s Shoes and this trusty cross body bag, which holds a surprising amount of stuff despite it’s size.

On another note, StyleCaster featured me along with four other awesome bloggers in their story about spring style. Check it out here!

My love.

Happy Wednesday! So, I am back in New Orleans (again)! But this time, I am only here for a day or two before I head to Mobile, Alabama with friends to attend Hangout Fest, which is part of my Creative Council project with UGG Australia. I will be creating two more Paper Doll outfit remixes around these shoes and bag and will share them next week, but in the meantime here is a very similar outfit I will most likely be living in this weekend. I hope you all are having a lovely day! xo

As the weather begins to change in New York, I always find myself wearing a couple of light layers to accomodate the varying temperatures that happen throughout the day. It might start out slightly chilly in the morning, requiring a light blazer underneath a jacket of some sort, and then by lunch, only the blazer is needed. And then all of a sudden, after running around all day, I find myself stripping off all my long sleeved items and that’s why a short sleeve shirt as my base layer is absolutely necessary. Then by the time the sun is setting, I am piling all my layers on again! Do you guys struggle with seasonal transitional dressing? What are your go-to pieces? xo
