What to wear to a high school reunion…part 1

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

It’s my 10th high school reunion next week, and although fashion is usually my thing, I totally don’t know what is expected for this sort of thing.  Any ideas?

I’m so excited for one of my best friends weddings this week, it’s in upstate NY and is going to be a blast. (I love this mag tear, from Moodboard)

Wildwood…

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

After being in LA for the week, Leo and I headed down to Wildwood, NJ for our annual memorial day vacation.  This is our 5th year coming down here, and there’s so much to love.  We spent our first day here rooting around the yard sales.  The best way to find the yard sales is to stop at any Wawa and pick up the Shopee paper.  It has many listings, and you’ll find lots of other yard sales along the way. After a long day of shopping we headed out to the beach.

This morning we decided to work off some of the coronas from the night before, and headed out to yoga class in Cape May.  It was tricky to find a Sunday class, but Balance Studio (600 Park Blvd, Cape May) luckily had a vinyasa class at 10am.

I always love stripes, but the photographs from Permanent Vacation make me love them even more!

Workout clothes…

At first when I joined the gym I refused to get proper workout clothes, because I didn’t really believe I would actually go to the gym.  However, I go 6 days a week so it’s about time I looked for some gear.  I’ll be posting about this over the next couple weeks as I delve into fitness attire.  The above shorts are available at Shopbop, by Monrow ($88). I like these shorts because they look like a vintage pair of cut off sweats, but are a much more flattering slim fit, and the length is nice and long.

I’ve ordered a pair of these Under Armour leggings.  I am a person who deeply believes that leggings are not pants…but at the gym it’s okay.  Black is always slimming, and they will allow me to not wear shorts (something I just cannot bring myself to do!).

Another bridesmaid dress…

I’m also a bridesmaid for another wedding that is coming up in 32 days!  We all are wearing beige dresses, so this is the one I picked.  It’s by BCBG Generation.  I’m loving that my friends are letting us all pick our own dresses, we are all soooo glad to not be stuck with old fashioned satin dresses!

On the hunt for a black dress…

I’m on the hunt for a nice black dress.  I’m a bridesmaid in a wedding coming up, and I’m loving the bride for suggesting we all just get black dresses (everyone loves an excuse to shop for a black dress!).  I love this lacey dress by Catherine Malandrino.

This DVF dress is really cute too, I love the neckline.

It’s not really appropriate for the event, but it would be a great summer dress (by James Perse).
