Parade launched bralettes (my favorite!) this past month and I finally have gotten my hands on a few colors and I absolutely love them!!!
Parade definitely got it right with this new product! The bralettes are made out of an extremely soft material and feel super comfortable, just like the matching underwear. I’m obsessed with the fit! I’m wearing size Small in the top and size Large in the bottoms because I like my bottoms very roomy!! I also have a size Medium and those work well for me too.
LOL @ this weird tan line from hot sun in Palm Springs!

Love the mesh detailing as well! No underwire and it’s not needed. Very supportive and keeps you in.
Big fan of these! I’ve been on a quest to find great basics for undergarments and I’m extremely happy with Parade. Parade’s line is extremely inclusive goes from sizes: XS to 3XL and extended bralette sizes through size F.
These pics are no makeup, no edits, no filters. It’s kind of Parade’s thing, and it’s also my thing, and it’s also much easier than editing anything 🙂
April starts a true changing of seasons in New York and we’re heading into warmer weather, finally!!! I picked up a few really cute, basic, everyday pieces from Target that I plan on wearing all spring and summer long! Linking below. Everything is under $25 and that’s a win for summer clothes. I don’t know about you but I’m always on the go, staining things, and I want chic pieces that do the job but are affordable. Shop below and let me know if you pick any of these things up!
I’m seriously looking forward to spring weather and spring vibes after this week! It’s finally (slowly) warming up into the high 40’s / low 50’s in New York and I am grateful as anything for that slight increase in weather and sunshine. Makes such a difference in my mental health and overall happiness!
I’ve been doing a little shopping lately (always)… but I’m sharing some of my favorite pics below. The carousel of photos is shop-able!
Last year I purchased a pair of white linen pants from Target very early in the season, around this time (February or March) and I wore the hell out of them!! Also received endless compliments and people were wanting to shop them. I found what I consider the most similar pair for 2021 that Target has (linked above)! I would buy these ASAP if you’re interested because they will sell out. All of the good Target items do.
Hunza G Swimsuit – I have these linked on my LikeToKnow.It page. There is a lot of hype around these swimsuits. I have a 2 piece that I got last year via a collab with Koibird and I really loved the texture, style and fit (the fabric is scrunched) and super comfortable. I’m looking forward to trying a new bright color for summer!
Freck – I’ve been seeing this product for awhile and I’m very excited to try it out on myself. I love freckles – I have some freckles – BUT I’m really trying to make it a point to keep my face out of the sun more then ever this summer. And always. I’m becoming more of an SPF goddess than I previously was. So applying my own faux freckles will be the vibe this summer. I’ll post photos on Instagram once I get this and try it out.
Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend and week ahead! Spring starts tomorrow! <3
Anyone else kind of happy that holidays are over? Or almost over – New Year’s Eve/Day is in a few days. But, ooooh thank goodness — it feels like we’re closing out on a major chapter. Ever upward and happily entering 2021!
Lots of great sales happening all over the internet right now, Nordstrom, Donni, Hunter Boots (50% off), Sephora, Net A Porter, ShopBop, Nike, Adidas, Urban Outfitters, Free People, Amazon even.
Rounding up some of my favorite items right now in the carousel below. Enjoy sale shopping! My favorite type of shopping. x
Lately I have been extremely into dresses from Cynthia Rowley – obsessed with the fit, fabrics, design, quality. *chefs kiss*
Perfect amount of shimmer!
Wore this Silver Lake Metallic Maxi Dress to a wedding last night – it’s perfect for New Year’s Eve, a black tie event, gala, and can even be dressed down by adding a leather jacket and combat boots for a more casual but elevated vibe. I’m obsessed!
I’ve been “into” a variety of new and exciting things this summer and I’m overly excited to head into the Fall with a fresh perspective! Current trends that can easily transition into the cooler months.
Wearing my tropic of c swimsuit in “the c” in shade “mama africa.” Vivienne is wearing her Spearmint Love Long Sleeve Skirted Bodysuit in Leopard. This trend will be here all winter – love that its back!
Everlane Crew Neck Cashmere Sweater

High quality basics without the traditional retail markup. I meannnnn – I own this sweater in almost every color they produce. $100 for cashmere? You can’t beat that! Highly recommend, dearly love. Just got the color Loden (pictured). Shop using my link.
Cheap white tees for boys that fit like a baby tee on a woman. I buy size Boys Large from Amazon. Easy white t-shirt that looks great with a pair of jeans or with a skirt, cutoff shorts, literally anything.
My Lack of Color Australia hats were a great addition to this summer – wore them everywhere I went!
Glossier Berry Balm Dot Com

Solly Baby Wrap
Wine tasting while baby carrying at Laurel Lake Vineyard in Laurel, NY
One of my favorite baby gifts I’ve received to date. Solly Baby Wrap has been the perfect accessory all summer long! Solly comes in many beautiful colors – this shade was perfect for me during summer months. Vivi always felt comfortable and secure, plus the fabric is really breathable!
Poolside Bags
Summer Staples
All summer long. Wore this Beach Bling Ice Bucket bag from Poolside Bags with a bandana from LoveShackFancy tied around the handle for an added touch. Wore with dresses and White Canvas Keds all summer long. Look for new Poolside Bags styles launching for fall / winter.
Shop founder, Ashley Senecal (pictured above & below) presents her store as summer vibes all year long. While searching for her passion project, Ashley found herself reminiscing about magical childhood summers on Long Island spent at the beach with family and friends. Playing in the sand, swimming in the ocean, campfires under the stars, and selling handmade bracelets, painted seashells and homemade cupcakes. This childhood entrepreneurial spirit is what led her to launch this brand in her senior year of college at URI.
Sunglasses at Shop Wavey are “fun and vibrant,” have a beachy vibe and I’m completely obsessed with them! The shapes are perfect for so many face types – men & women, there is a nice range of colors and exciting new products launching soon! The price point is v affordable ranging between $25-$30, making these sunglasses an easy addition to your accessories wardrobe. Trying new trends without going broke. Into it!!
Shop Wavey just launched an octagon-shaped lens called Soho that are undeniably chic.
Wishing for warmer days soon!
