Closet Confections

Work Hard // Play Hard

Last week was a whirlwind, and I’m slowly easing my way back into a normal routine…

After weeks of purging my closet and packing up the things I hold near and dear… my husband and I moved to a new apartment in the city last Monday. Before I’d even had a chance to catch my breath after the movers left, I was showered and primped and off to catch behind-the-scenes action of the Vivienne Tam fashion show (more on that coming soon).

Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday were each accompanied by major speaking gigs. And to top it all off, I had to complete my quarterly business taxes by the stroke of midnight on Thursday (ahhh… the joys of being a busy entrepreneur!)… and did I mention there was mounds of unpacking and furniture arranging to do in the midst of all this activity?!

In any case, I’m not complaining (because frankly, I’m way too tired for all of that), but a gal does need to take some time to relax and recharge. That’s why I look forward to sneaking away to The Red Door by Elizabeth Arden for a much needed Swedish massage. Stepping into their calming and relaxing interior and leaving myself in the capable hands of one of their attentive professionals is just the sort of escape I need during this crazy (but super exciting) time in my life.

And because sharing is caring, I’d like to let you know that as an official #GalSquad Ambassador, I can offer you guys the discount code GSFANSEPT9 to get 50% OFF a Massage Membership at the NYC – 5th Avenue and Chatwal locations!

Fun & Flirty Floral Chiffon Babydoll Dress

{RL Denim & Supply Floral Chiffon Babydoll Dress (also available here), Club Monaco Straw Hat, J. Crew Straw Tote, c/o Schutz Gladiator Sandals}

Some of you may recall this floral chiffon babydoll dress from my Snapchat fitting room shenanigans (remind me to do that again… it was kinda fun). Not gonna lie, I was instantly drawn to it because it reminded me of an old comfy nightgown. There aren’t too many times in life when you can get away with wearing a nightgown outside of the home (save for hospitals, hotel rooms, and pajama jammy jams), so I of course jumped at the opportunity.

I’ve been a fan of Ralph Lauren for years (perhaps even shedding a tear or two during the demise of Rugby), but I’ve only recently taken a shine to the Denim & Supply Label. I have to save, I’ve become a fan, and I’m really digging their ultra-feminine take on 90s-grunge style (think floral babydoll dresses and plaid maxis). Below are a few goodies I’ve got my eye on for fall…

10 Off-the-Shoulder Dresses You Need in Your Closet

{ZARA Off-the-Shoulder Dress, PRADA Sunglasses, FOREVER 21 Fedora, RALPH LAUREN Bucket Bag, NICHOLAS KIRKWOOD Shoes, HERMES & VITA FEDE Bracelets}

I affectionately refer to this frock as “the dress seen around the world”, and I think it’s quite fitting (both the dress and it’s moniker). It seemed like 1 in every 4 women in New York City had this exact off-the-shoulder dress in blue chambray over the summer. I’m in love with it’s black sheep cousing because of the ease in which I can transition it into fall. Just add ankle boots and an oversized cardigan, and I’ll be ready to take on the world with a pumpkin spiced latte in hand!

Here are 10 more off-the-shoulder dresses that I’ve got my eye on for fall.
