As spring winds down and the summer heat begins to set in, I always op for a long sleeve short combo to wear. This nautical, preppy ensemble is perfect for the end of spring. Gingham is a print that I love, yet seem to not obtain much in. It will never go out of style as it is a timeless print, so investing in a simple top like this will be worth the price. Side note: This top looks darling with the matching shorts! If I were wearing this look, I would tuck the shirt into the high waisted shorts for a more crisp look. I have an hour glass figure, so anything high waisted (or A-lined) works best for me as it accentuates my small waistline and makes my legs look longer. The shorts being high waisted makes them look more elongated than they actually are, as they are only 3-4 inches long. I love to wear white shorts as they go with anything and can be dressed up or down. Keeping the accessories simple and neutral finishes this look making it simple and classic.

Ballet Season
Last night was the opening of the 75th Anniversary of the American Ballet Theatre’s Spring Season. Opening night starts with a few repertoire’s performed at the Metropolitan Opera House and followed by the ABT Spring Gala. I was fortunate enough a few years ago, while I worked for the company, to attend the Spring Gala, and let me tell you, it was one of the most magical nights of my life! I saw Prince there and practically fell over in my chair! I truly felt so blessed to work for such a prestigious company like ABT. Every day when I strolled through the halls and watched a class in progress, I would think of all the people who have called this place their home and know I am lucky to be among them.
Wedding Season
Bells are ringing and love is in the air–it is wedding season! I love a good excuse to get dressed up and dance the night away, and weddings are the perfect evening to do so! I have a few weddings coming up and finding the right dress for the right wedding occasion can get a little over whelming sometimes. I like to invest in a few cocktail dresses like this one, where I know I will wear again for years to come. For a more affordable price and still look completely chic, I would wear something like this from Nordstrom. If the wedding is a black tie affair and you are like me– prefer the company of a cocktail length dress– this dress is the perfect length to please both you and the bride. If the wedding is a casually affair, I still like to over-dress and would wear something like this, a simple yet elegant look.What is your favorite part about weddings?

Reese Witherspoon
This may be the best news I have heard in a long time! Reese Witherspoon has created a new clothing, accessory and home decor line called Draper James. I have a major girl crush on Reese, she seems as if she would be a really great friend to have and fun to be around. Reese has great style, she exudes elegance and traditional prep, and she has impeccable taste in home decor. I get a lot of outfit inspiration from her, so I know this new brand will be amazing!
