I am so excited about these Gallola leather loafers. Sisters, Lexie and Katrina, just launched Gallola, a lifestyle brand inspired by their Latin American roots and their first product are these Argentine style loafers made in Mexico. (I took my true size 12 and the fit is great!)

It is certainly starting to feel like Summer in New York City with the temperatures in the high 70s or low 80s. I paired my favorite black bodysuit tank from Nuuds with my favorite Curve Love Jeans from Abercrombie. Also, I can't say enough great things about these sandals - Style 07 from Amanu Sandals - they are comfortable, minimal and classic black sandals that anyone would love.

I am excited to wear this Doen blue floral blouse all spring and summer! The top runs true to size if not a bit oversized, so I would take your smaller of two sizes (I am in the XL.)

Anytime I put on this Veronica Beard black blazer, I feel like my outlet is instantly elevated! I love pairing a blazer with jeans as a way to look pulled together but not too fancy. (I size up one in Veronica Beard blazers, so this is a size 20.)

After admiring this Fewer Finer Mixed Chain Necklace (in length 19.5 inches) for months, I saved up and splurged on it and I am so happy with the gold necklace. I love being able to easily clip on and change charms easily.

This Bettina Dress from La Ligne is quickly becoming a favorite, it is just so easy to throw on and quickly feel fancy and pulled together. (My mom has the same dress in Navy and it is also beautiful.) I wear a size XL in this.

A quick screenshot from my IG stories today where I shared my makeup routine using the Westman Atelier Skin Activator Serum. The serum goes on really smoothly and I think helps give you a pretty glow for under makeup!

Right now, my favorite lightweight spring layer is this Uniqlo Quilted Jacket that is under $70! (I find Uniqlo to run a bit small and I wanted extra room to wear bulky sweaters so I sized up to a 3x.)

The water battle wars: while I will always sing the praises of The Stanley 40oz Quencher Tumbler the 32oz Owala Water Bottle has quickly become my choice for when I am on the go because it is fully leak proof. (Diet Coke can for scale!)
