The best part of my trip back home to New Jersey/New York/Maryland wasn’t winning some Roulette cash in Atlantic City, meeting up with five fashion bloggers (though I heart you all), nor spotting Chris Noth (Mr. Big in Sex and The City) sitting three feet away when I had been ranting that the sequel was [...]

When I saw this WiNK dress and the specific pink and green floral shades in the print, I was mentally transported back to the first day of 1st grade. My twin sister, Bec, and I are pictured above in one of my favorite dresses that my mom had created for us- (but honestly, every single [...]
