🍀 St. Patty’s Casual with a Twist

I am in LOVE with this super comfortable and stylish twist back sweater. It's a sweatshirt material and had sold out recently so I found a similar one that I love just as much and have ordered. It's perfect because you can wear a regular bra with it and it would be great for a cooler beach day to throw on top of your swim top with denim cut offs. I've been looking forward to spring as this weather continues to play tricks on us New Yorkers. 

I'm loving the boyfriend/girlfriend denim trend right now with distressing and there's so many options at different price points. I've been into Express's denim lately because the quality has gotten SO good AND I can order in a tall length so I don't have to worry about everything looking cropped. But hey- I'm so glad that trend is making it's comeback! My denim are actually an older pair that I can't give up. My slides are perfect for spring and sheek enough to dress up a bit without needing a heel. 

Does anyone do anything to celebrate St. Patricks Day? As an Irish girl I do love to celebrate it and have the most non traditional Irish food impulse- I love to have a green bagel that morning for breakfast! I think I've been doing that since my dad used to grab em for me as a kid, since I was never a fan of the corn beef, potatoes, and carrots. Though I LOVE that , I can't handle the smell of  sauerkraut (the smell makes me sick) 

However you celebrate in green, Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Eyelet Tank & Denim

On my recent trip and first trip to Charleston I took to sightseeing right away...even before checking into our resort. It was way hot for denim so this is the only day I was in it thankfully, though I am obsessed with this Joe's pair and have to order more since they can be hard to find! I love the stretch to them and light distressed knee area. 

These Sam Edelman sandals are super comfy and my go to each summer and the new versions for this season are gorgeous. They're easy to travel with and can be paired so many ways!  Below I've linked my casual look for walking around. More to come on a recap from this little vacation getaway soon! 

On this first day I loved walking along the Battery swooning over the old historical mansions and then catching shade under the gorgeous oaks in the parks. There's just so much I loved about this quaint yet vibrant historic area and I couldn't get enough. So many adorably colorful streets with shops and restaurants.

Travel Essentials

For as much as I have traveled I still am mastering the art of packing light with versatile items. (I'm notorious for over packing, which can also make it difficult to choose outfits once on the trip if there's too many options.) I'm working toward using the "less is more" approach, well trying at least! For vacation travel I started with some simple items that can be worn on a traveling day and throughout the trip in different ways . It's always tricky going from cooler to warm climates so I find layers are best for chilly airports. 

I'll be styling some of the basics below in upcoming posts as I get ready to jet set to Vegas! This is a super spontaneous trip and I can't wait to get out of the New York cold and slow my pace for some sunshine.  I've never been to Las Vegas, any suggestions for restaurants, shows, or activities will be much appreciated if you could comment below!
