See this top?! It was actually a too-short romper from Urban Outfitters that I just couldn't part with.
A few snips later, and now it's outfit-ready! That's what I call Urban Renewal.

by the sea

These vintage Levi's have become a staple in my summer wardrobe (they've even crept their way into my winter wardrobe, too!). I love the little bit of edge they add to a basic tank and bikini. Even though they're as destroyed as destroyed can get, I can still dress them up in a snap with a flowy blouse and wedges. That's when you know you've found perfection!

cannoli cupcakes

We are a bit Housewives-obsessed in our house, and obviously we're obsessed with food! When you combine the two, you get a new obsession: Housewives cookbooks. This week, one of our friends brought over Teresa Giudice's cookbook, Fabulicious, and we got to baking! Cannoli cupcakes was our recipe of choice, and let me tell you: they're as sinfully delicious as the Housewives shows themselves.. ;)

We joked that we'd continue our Housewives trip across the US with our other Housewives cookbooks - now that we've hit New Jersey, it's time we head to New York and Beverly Hills ;)

romp around

There's something so effortless about a romper - maybe it's the whole "one-piece" thing, but whatever it is, it's comfortable and breezy and perfect for a weekend full of lounging around with family and friends!

Sibling love! Here's Frankie (our brother) making a rare blog appearance..

date night

This is most likely the closest I'll get to florals on florals this season! I've yet to find the perfect top-and-bottom combo to go full out botanical (maybe it's my allergies holding me back, hehe!). But some soft pink and neutrals paired with more vibrant colors is a combo I can get used to, no matter the print!

Today I'm off celebrating a very handsome man's very special birthday - my lovey turns 21!
We can all toast to that ;)

borrowed from the boys

Some of my most comfy pieces have come from the boys, like this H&M sweater!
I decided to dress it up a bit with my accessories - some Tory Burch, a gorgeous
turquoise bracelet from Poshlocket, and my brother's watch which he generously
lent me for the afternoon (another bit of menswear I can totally get used to) ;)

poshlocket

We're so happy to be collaborating with Poshlocket! Sally and I often have very different taste when it comes to jewelry, so that's why we fell for the brand - they have so many styles to choose from! My little wrist jumped at the chance to wear this gorgeous chain bracelet - the perfect combo of metal and leather, in a neutral, classic shade. I dressed it up with a bit of color this time!
