Dress Love Of The Week | Alexandra Grecco

so we may or may not be obsessed with tutus, and since Emma is about to have a little girl, we could not resist! here we go: Alexandra Grecco is a Brooklyn-based fashion designer whose clothes are all produced in the New York City garment district. she creates not only feminine, classically inspired wedding gowns that exude a timelessness but also designs ready-to-wear dresses, tops, and tulle skirts (tutus!).

now I know that you may be picturing a ballerina in the Nutcracker right now but these are not it. her skirts are soft and more graceful than that (at least in my mind) - extremely feminine and ethereal. you can dress them down with button-downs, cardigans or simple t-shirts or pair them with a blouse, blazer or sweater for a night out. of course, they always require some statement jewelry and a pair of killer shoes! be prepared to fall in love...

Dress Love Of The Week | Little Black Dress

do you love lbds (little black dresses) as much as we do?! you can never go wrong with one - they can go from casual to night out to special occasion just by changing out accessories, but why stop there when you can have an lbd for each occasion? a girl can never have too many.

there are a lot of great ones out there but i think that my all time favorite is the one below. pair it (or any lbd) with some killer heels or flats, a great hairstyle, an amazing clutch and a couple of accessories or one statement piece and voila! - you are gorgeous and ready for any event.

classic elegance at its best. i know it is cliche but to be able to pull off a killer lbd you have to have an amazing attitude - and a red lip never hurts either. it is all about how you wear it.

why we love it | who doesn't love a good scarf?

i realize that i said 'classic' a lot in this blog, but that is the goal right? everything above is a classic but just done in a unique or modern way. the great thing is that classic/staple pieces, hairstyles, etc. can all be placed in your every day arsenal as well so yay to that!

happy shopping!
