My Weekend Recap

I was lucky enough to have a three day weekend this past weekend and it was full of fun, fashion, friends, and food. I wanted to share some of my highlights with all of you!

~Did you hear, ombre is here to stay! This makes me so happy because I just made an appointment to get my hair done ombre. I'm soooooo excited for this new look! I have to wait until July 10th...but, once I get it done I can't wait to show you all. Get ready for photos.

~I ate so much great food this past weekend. If you are in the North Williamsburg/Greenpoint area be sure to check out: Sweetgreen (they have the best salads), The Bounty (an amazing $1 oyster happy hour), and A+ Lollipop (bubble tea!!!).

~I watched a great movie this weekend. Have you all seen Celeste and Jesse Forever? My husband and I loved it! Super funny, very touching (I teared up a few times), and brilliantly shot. Check it out.

~I had a possible celebrity sighting on my block earlier today while walking my dog. I'm 99% sure I walked by supermodel Lindsey Wixson. If it wasn't her, she definitely has a doppelganger walking around Brooklyn.

How was your weekend? Tell me all about it!

Gingham Girl

Today Rocko and I were enjoying some of this lovely weather in our courtyard. Him in a dog bone print and myself in gingham...and both in red. He might not have been so happy that we dressed like twins...but I won this battle. Aren't we just adorable together!?!?!

I have been doing a bunch of shopping at Lord & Taylor lately. That's what happens when you work two blocks from their midtown location. Not that I really mind...they have been having amazing sales lately (and their show department is spectacular!). Stop by now because they are having their friends and family sale! You can thank me later!

So much going on in my neighborhood this weekend. We'll be stopping by the Northside Festival and it's festivities on Bedford Avenue. Art, music, food, and fun...sounds like a good time to me. Follow along on my Instagram and Snapchat (snapshotfashion) for my adventures!!!

Have a happy Saturday!

Beauty Buzz: OGX

Lately I have fallen in love with a the OGX brand of hair products. I have tried so many of them including: Brazilian Keratin Therapy, Argan Oil of Morocco, and so many others...but my current favorite (which is in my shower right now) has to be the Kukui Oil shampoo and conditioner. It is fantastic.

This product works so great on smoothing my hair on even the most humid of days. Also, my hair feels so thick and strong! Even my husband also uses it and said, "It makes my hair feel so full"...in which I said, "Better than it making it feel thin!"

What do you think of OGX products? Have you used them before? Which are your favorites?

My McCarren Park

dress- Romeo & Juliet Couture thrifted from Crossroads Trading Co./ wedge sandals- Bakers/ fringe purse- H&M

I'm not a nature girl at all. Dirt, bugs, allergies...I hate it all. But I have to say, I love that I live near a park while living in a city. Actually, now that I think of it I always have had a park in my backyard while in NYC. When we lived in the East Village we had Tompkins Square Park, when we lived in the Upper East Side we had Central Park, and now that we are in North Williamsburg we have McCarren Park which I love so much! It's full or pretty flowers, has a great farmer's market, and Rocko's favorite dog run. It's our little part of nature that we need in this concrete jungle.

Rocko is loving this warm and sunny weather.

Isn't this dress the cutest? I picked it up at Crossroads Trading Co. the other week. Can you believe that this adorable scuba swing dress was marked down to $6??? SIX DOLLARS! I love that store. I always have such luck there picking up great second hand finds!

I hope you all have a lovely Saturday! Get out there and enjoy it!

Look of the Day- Summer Vibes

1) Ella Monroe Straw Fedora available at Goorin Bros.- $140

The humidity is here...which means a hot summer is just around the corner. The best way I know how to keep cool is with a flowing maxi skirt, a little crop top, and a straw hat. 

Are you ready for summer???

Swans Crossing

Truth be told, I have been wanting to share this fabulous swan dress with you all for a while. But I have been wanting to use Swans Crossing as a title for this post for even longer. If you didn't watch the teen soap Swans Crossing in the early 90's I don't think we can be friends any longer. Seriously.

Besides dodging my allergies left and right (they are so bad this year!), I'm planning on meeting up with my little cousin who is visiting his girlfriend in town tonight, off to spend my Sunday with the in-laws in Long Island, and then just relaxing at home on my Monday off. 

What's everyone else up to this weekend?

Take It To The Max

Summer is almost here, and it's time to get bold! Maxi dresses in bold prints are the must have of the season...and I'm loving it. Nothing is more comfortable than a flowing maxi dress for a summer day. What I love about them is how versatile they are. Perfect for work, great for a lazy weekend, and a must wear for a night out. Put the mini dresses away...if you want all eyes on you, wear one of these amazing printed maxi dresses. You'll be sure to get noticed.

Wanderlust Maxi Dress available at LOFT- $79.50

Jupiter Sunshine Maxi available at Free People- $98

Long Scarf Print Dress available at Zara- $99.90

Just because you want to wear shorts when the weather is warmer doesn't mean you have to dress like a slob. What I love about this look is that it is sexy, sassy, and totally comfortable. I'd say this look is perfect for a date night. Don't you just love it?
