I am fresh off the plane from Italy, where my girlfriends and I had an excellent time shopping, quite literally, til we dropped! After a veeeeery long plane ride, though, I’ve decided that dresses are the best things to travel in. True, I’m a little biased here, but they are definitely more comfortable than jeans and easy to layer to adjust to the ever-fluctuating temperatures on board.
This kimono inspired number from Banana Republic is really pretty, and I think that it would travel well, too. I know all of the stores are coming out with their fall lines already, but remember that there are at least two more months of warm weather left, and even once they’re gone, this will look great with tights, boots, and scarves!
Traveling has become a tad tedious with all of the security restrictions, and fussing with straps and shoe laces is a hassle, so the ingenious Anna at Shoe Smitten Blog has created a list of fashionable shoes that easily slip on and off at the security checkpoint…any of which would look mighty fine with this shift!

I love my sandals!!!!! After falling in love with these, oh, four months ago, they finally went on sale at Lindsay Lou. They are the BEST. SANDALS. EVER. Soft, supple leather like velvet. Okay, I know this is a dress blog, but I had to post about these because I had to share the loveliness.
But, of course, I didn’t forget about dresses. It’s just that to balance out the hefty price tag of these sandals, I’ve had to be a little more budget conscious. That doesn’t mean complete deprivation, though. Check out this sweet little number from Old Navy. It looks like they’ve come out of a long, dark winter after all.

I’m a terrible blogger! Horrible! After being berated by a darling friend who sporadically checks in on this blog, I’m back with my tail between my legs…with a fabulous new find, though. 
While I am overjoyed to have found, at long last, the dress that I will wear to the Italy wedding, I am sad to say that Lord & Taylor has not put this dress on their website. I think that they did it on a short run, since they didn’t do anything else in the same style. It’s by “Kate Hill” which is the L&T label that makes some very elegant and affordable pieces. My favorite things of theirs at the moment are made of this gorgeous silk dupioni, like this sheath dress…
I also love the fullness of this Kate Hill skirt (similar to the skirt of the dress I chose)…
And at less than $50 for each of these, elegance has never been so completely within reach!

I want to take a moment to celebrate simple, sleeveless dresses with adorable detailing. Yay! I had a nightmareish experience at J. Crew in February, where I tried on four dresses which were all terribly ill-fitting, but I’m willing to give them another chance because of this shift, which is perfect on every level…

I love dresses like this, which are preppy enough to wear practically anywhere, but still casual enough that you don’t have to think twice before throwing it on. It’s this dress that will be worn four days out of the week, which will make it well worth the $88 price tag!

Today, it reached 63 degrees in Boston! Okay, so it was windy and rainy and generally miserable, but who cares?! It’s springtime! Temperatures are forecasted to fall back to the forties tomorrow, but for now I’m just happy that the sixties still exist Phantasm II film
. It allows me to dream about wearing dresses like this juicy number by BCBG.

Light dresses, I think, call for delicate, feminine jewelry. The next piece I want to get is this necklace by my friend Cathy, the designer of Vanilla Moon Henry Poole Is Here jewelry. Sooooo pretty!
