I’m a firm believer in investing in classic pieces and a trench coat is one of those items that no closet should be without. I’ve had a classic beige version for years (truthfully it’s seen better days) but J.Crew’s cherry red matinee trench has caught my eye in a serious way. I love my umbrella, but sometimes it’s a bit overkill for a light sprinkle which is why I love that the matinee has a hood. I better pull the trigger before this beauty sells out!
Who knew black and blue could be such a chic color combination? Wear this tribal stripe scarf and decorate with this blue arrows tray. You can have both for under $65, quite the bargain!
Recently the Lesley Evers team offered me the opportunity to review a dress from their spring/summer line. Having loved the Lesley Evers dresses I’ve reviewed in the past (see here and here) I of course jumped at the offer.
This time around, I chose the Candace in Lilac Links. A classic shift dress in a punchy print that is just my style. Though the weather in DC has been a bit touch and go, I was able to take Candace for a spin a few weeks back and received quite a few compliments. For work I paired her with a white cardigan and nude Me Too flats. After work I ditched the cardigan and moved straight on to happy hour–gotta love a dress that multitasks!
If you’re new to the Lesley Evers brand, take a peek at their website, you won’t be disappointed! Lesley’s traditional styles updated in modern prints are the perfect mix of classic and chic.
P.S a big thank you to the team at Lesley Evers it’s always a pleasure working with you!

I’m always on the look out for brands that satisfy my obsession with color and pattern: enter Echo. I recently stumbled across their site and was like a kid in a candy store– every new page I clicked on resulted in another item added to my shopping cart. Being the good steward of style I like to think of myself as, I just had to share. Would you believe that all of the above finds ring in at less than $100? After the pup’s unexpected (read: costly) surgery last week, that’s definitely a price point I can get behind!
P.S though this may read like a paid advertisement I was not compensated by Echo in any way. I’m just really loving their brand!

Meet Lauren and Van, the duo behind my latest blog crush, Necessary&Proper. If there were such a thing as style ambassador, I’d be lobbying to appoint these two chic peas to represent us here in the District in an instant! Further proof that DC is no longer the fashion black hole you may have heard (Dear New York, please stop spreading those nasty rumors!) Read more about Lauren and Van in their recent Washingtonian article. In the meantime, I’ll be busy stalking all of Lauren’s outfits for further inspiration!
