Happy Snow Day! Oh wait… I didn’t get one. When the stock market is open, my office is open – and the stock market doesn’t shut down for inclement weather. Anyway, the snow isn’t even bad in the city yet, so I don’t know what the whole “snowpocolypse” business is about…
Apparently its been the week of white dresses (here and here if you missed them), so why not keep it up with my Etsy picks of the week from the shop We Love Yu/ Parson’s grad designer Ee-Lyn Tang:
(same dresses in plain light)
How pretty are these custom-made wedding dresses? The sleek and modern and she can make them in other colors for other formal events! Draping is one of her specialties and I just adore the clean, feminine lines of her pieces. There are only a few in her Etsy store, but she also has a website and online shop with other gowns and cocktail dresses (the Campbell bowtie dress might be my fave).
Since I’m supposedly going to be snowed in tomorrow, I’m planning a big closet purge! I have a number of things that I’ve worn 0 to 2 times that I’d love to find another home for, but they fall into the “a little too nice to just give away” and “not quite nice enough to make the effort to consign” categories… (mostly dresses from Trina Turk, Abaeté, Milly, BCBG, etc. that originally retailed from $200-$500) Does anyone else have this problem? I’ve seen a few people use their blog to try to sell some of their unworn or gently used items for a lot less, but I’ve never personally bought anything from them. How you yall feel about this? Any other thoughts about giving clothes away other than taking them to Goodwill? I’d love to hear any ideas… Have a great weekend ladies!

Since it’s snowing (again) in DC tonight, I’m thinking a little virtual getaway is in order… Instead of harsh winter white, I’m craving calming, airy neutrals – perhaps inspired by the Mykonos Grand Hotel?
From the moment you walk into the lobby, clean lines and tranquil space invite you in… such a contrast to my busy/stressful life and subsequent not-so-organized apartment right now!
Any of these light coverups would be perfect for throwing over a swimsuit or just lounging around (thought I’d probably suggest adding shorts for actually walking around) – Kushcush Beaux Cover Up ($162), Juicy Pleated Ruffle Cover Up ($173), Brette Sandler Alexis Voile Cover Up ($210)
How sublimely serene is that bedroom?! And a bathroom with a hot tub AND a view… it doesn’t get much better than that.
I love the idea of a long, white flowy dress for resort attire – it’s such a great canvas for layering big, bright accessories and showing off a tan! Geren Ford Rope Gown ($398), Rachel Pally Long Cutout Dress ($238), Theory Zaira Long Dress ($335)
I’m pretty much picturing myself (insert drink with superfluous fruit garnish) admiring the view from this patio…
For a getaway with the girls, you could head to the bar in any one of these casual cocktail dresses – Mason Drape Shoulder Tank Dress ($265), Twinkle Greek Goddess Dress ($319), Shoshanna Ruffle Cami Dress ($305)
I have such a design crush on this bar – so sleek and modern but welcoming at the same time!
Or for a Valentine’s Day getaway, these would all be fun date attire options – Madison Marcus Glossy Dress ($280), ISSA Kimono Dress ($418)
My Valentine’s Day plans will unfortunately not include dinner on the beach… sigh… one day!
So girls’ trip or romantic vacation, who’s up for a getaway to Greece?
