Floral Dress - Two Ways!

November 6, 2017 Jennifer Weil

I have been searching for the perfect floral dress for a while now. I wanted the dress to be versatile -- to be able to wear it both during the day and evening. I finally found it!! AND, I have been dying to try out the "white bootie trend" and this dress was perfect for it. Oh, and I met the nicest guy that runs the Colonial Grill food truck in Morristown. You have to order the french fries!

This gorgeous dress from is from Nordstrom and truly is beyond flattering and comfortable. I searched high and low for the perfect white bootie and fell in love with this block heel version. Matched the bootie with my fave Rebecca Minkoff clutch.

I quickly (and easily) changed this day look to evening with a handbag and shoe change!

Faux Fur Fabulous!

October 30, 2017 Jennifer Weil

Winter is coming...there is no denying it! LOL. It's coming fairly soon and we need to be prepared with a cozy and warm faux fur coat!

This amazing faux fur is from Zara and only $90! What a steal! I fell in love with this tie waist top from Madewell. I usually don't wear green, but I just couldn't resist the print! Still loving my Levi's "wedgie fit" jean, suede pumps, and Chanel bag from the RealReal (similar style). Happy Shopping!

How to make a LBD stand out in the crowd!

October 26, 2017 Jennifer Weil

This weekend I have an event to go to in NYC and I had only a little bit of time to find something to wear. I am sure you all can relate! I immediately thought of black, because you truly can't go wrong with a black dress. It's simple, classic and sophisticated. BUT, how do you make a LBD standout among all the other LBD's in the crowd? Well, you add a little bit of lace, some knockout accessories, and gorgeous hair and makeup (courtesy of Blowout Morristown)!

I found this BCBG dress at Bloomingdales (on sale)! I immediately fell in love with the lace details, cinched waist, and pockets! To add a subtle flair, I grabbed super cool ombre heels, a Carrie Dunham clutch (similar style), and Banana Republic earrings (similar style). This LBD will definitely standout, I promise!

Metallics & Camo

October 19, 2017 Jennifer Weil

What happens when you mix two great Fall trends? Amazing things!! Camo and Metallics are HUGE this season in everything from footwear to handbags. I had to find a way to mix the two. I love taking "mild" fashion risks and thinking outside the box! LOL.. I am super excited about the look I put together and I hope you are too!

I found the sweatshirt and skirt at Bloomingdales! The length of the skirt is so lady-like and the sweatshirt is beyond cozy! What's even better is that I know that the skirt and sweatshirt will work with so many other items in my wardrobe! These gorgeous rose-gold heels are from Aldo. They are so pretty and only $80! Final touch, grey clutch (similar). Give this look a try!

Haute and Home-Made Halloween!

October 16, 2017 Jennifer Weil

Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays! Who doesn't like to get dressed up and eat candy?! The only thing I struggle with is finding the right costume for not only me, but my kids! I find that a lot of the costumes out there for women and for girls look trashy and cheap and are EXPENSIVE! So, this year I decided to partner with Blowout Morristown and create 3 fun, "home-made" costumes for me and my girls! And boy, did we have fun!! AND, I found most of our costumes in our closets! I only had to buy a few things to complete each look.

For Cooper, who is 13, I thought Audrey Hepburn was a perfect costume for her and she agreed! Jackie from Blowout brought this look to life with a gorgeous updo and beautiful makeup! What teenage girl doesn't want to get glammed up and be transformed into a Hollywood icon?! The black dress is ZARA (something similar linked), shoes are Sam Edelman, and accessories are from Claire's (earrings, tiara, gloves) and Francesca's (necklace)!

Since my 9 year old is so spunky and animated, I wanted her costume to be super fun...so we chose a cat! Jackie used her hair to make the cat ears and did a spectacular job on the makeup! Cam truly looked like a cat and she was super happy with her look! This costume was beyond easy. I grabbed black leggings from Jcrew, a black tee shirt, patent leather shoes from Nordstrom, and cat accessories from Claires.

And last, but not least...there was me! There are few options for adults that aren't inappropriate, and I knew I didn't want to dress up as "slutty" Cookie Monster...yup, there is such a thing! So, I dug through my closet and found a dress (similar style linked) and heels (similar style linked) that I wore to a Great Gatsby themed birthday party a couple of years ago. It was perfect! All I needed was my grandmother's beaded handbag (similar style linked) and a few great accessories (pearls, earrings, head band - all similar styles). Jackie's hair and makeup was gorgeous and perfect for this 1920's look. Happy Halloween everyone!!
