A summer sweater should be lightweight and easy to wear.  The neon green hues and pointelle-dotted knit makes this one from ModCloth perfect for those unpredictable days, just like the ones we had last week.  It felt like fall here in Jersey.

Shifting Gears

Dress: C/O - Tobi Sage Shift Dress | Sneakers: Converse | Sunnies: Five Below

Happy Monday!  During the summer, I love to wear dresses.  I'm obsessed with this one from Tobi (currently on sale for $25).  Tobi has the hottest pieces for every season.  Right now their offering 50% off everything!
The off-the-shoulders and statement sleeve on this dress, is on trend and perfect to dress up or down.  I dressed mine down with a classic pair of white Converse.  A pair of "white sneakers" are definitely a summer staple in my closet.  They go with everything!

Dash Of Red

Happy Friday and happy SUMMER! I'm so excited for my first summer with the baby.  Little AJ is 6 months old now, has two teeth, and is already crawling!  He's even trying to stand.  He thinks he's such a big boy but he's still a little peanut.  As for me, I'm great!  Now.....

The first few months of motherhood was super challenging.  The sleepless nights were hard.  Thankfully I had a great support system.  My best advice for any new mommy, take it one day at a time.  Everything is temporary!  Believe it or not, the days and nights :) do get better.

This is my first style post since having the baby and I was super nervous.  I'm not at my desired weight yet but, I'm happy and that's all that matters.  I'll get to that "number" but for now, I'm just enjoying it all.  Even the extra pounds!

For this post I thought I would take a classic like black and white, which is one of my favorite color combos and summer it up! 

I added a pop of color with my new block heels from Target.  What's summer without a little color?!?!?!

My off the shoulders top is from Tobi.  They have the trendiest pieces you'll love!  We all want to show a little skin during the warmer months and a little shoulder action is flattering on everyone.

Maxi Living

Dress: H & M | Sunnies & Bracelets: Forever 21 

From Spring to Summer, there's nothing like a maxi dress. 
They can be edgy or super feminine depending on the pattern or style.  It's a no brainer that you need not just one, but a few in your closet.

Brunch "In The City"

 

 

Bryant Park

 

 

 

All Pics c/o Suzy's Closet 

Hey dolls!  I've missed ya! 

 

So I know I haven't had a new post in a few weeks, but my weekends have been super busy and well you know, the days just fly by.  I've also been trying to enjoy these last few weeks of summer, so I've been beaching and bbq'ng it up so my outfits have been pretty relaxed.   I still can't believe were at the end of August!   Today's post is just a cute re-cap of a blogger brunch I attended over the weekend.  

 

Blogger friend Alana from Alana Marie Style set up a blogger brunch and I was so excited to see my girls.  Long story short....Alana couldn't make it due to a terrible accident on I95, and a few other girls had to cancel last minute so it ended up just being Suzy Suzy's Closet, Patty Patty's Kloset and I.   We had a fabulous brunch at Refinery Rooftop with an amazing view.  Then it was a little shopping and a walk through Bryant Park.  I wore one of my favorite summer dresses that I got 2yrs ago from HauteLook.  Summer dresses are my go to, their cute and not clingy.  Unless you want them to be...LOL!  Perfect for those extra hot days. 

 

Next week I'll have a beauty post!  Thanks to Influenster, I got to take the 3 week better skin challenge using SuperStay Better Skin Foundation by Maybelline.  I've loved the results so far and I can't wait to share it with you.   Last but not least.....I caved in and started a SnapChat!
