2016 Highlight Reel

CrownsRose-Lauren-edited (6 of 15)

2016 was a year for the record books! I traveled quite a bit (West Palm Beach, 30A and Anguilla were a few of my favorite trips), threw two amazing parties with girlfriends (one in NYC and one in the Hamptons!), I moved to the Upper East Side, and I started working at The New York Times – the list could go on!

I always love recapping my years in pictures so here are a few of my favorites. A big thank you to you guys who check out my little corner of the web each and everyday. You guys are seriously the best! Hope everyone had an amazing Christmas and cheers to a happy and healthy 2017! Xo. Lauren

What To Wear New Years Eve
0

New Years is the perfect excuse to throw on a gorgeous frock, high heels, and sparkly jewels.  I wore this sequined dress to a New Years party in Cleveland last year.  It was so comfortable and I was able to dance the night away in it.  I have my eye on this long sequin maxi dress for this New Years – or I’m also loving this black jumpsuit, too. Isn’t it so pretty?

This little black dress from Express is a classic look and could be worn over and over.  If you don’t feel like buying a dress – don’t forget about Rent The Runway!  I actually love this bold red dress for New Years.  Or if you need a more formal look, this long red dress is perfection.  Accessorize with a light pink nail polishbanglesdrop earrings, and a big statement ring.  Finish your look with a fun, sparkly clutch and ankle strap heels. Don’t forget perfume (my new current fav!) and some lip gloss. Xo. Lauren

A Houston Christmas

Hello, my friends! We are officially 4 days away from Christmas. To celebrate, I wanted to share this beautiful Houston holiday home tour I found over on House Beautiful. Designed by Catherine Olasky there are so many little details that I want to incorporate into my UES apartment. Insert the console with chic coffee table books neatly stacked, the tassel ottoman in the formal living room, and the gold sconces above the bookshelf in the family room. Whether you’re headed home for the holidays or staying cozy at home, wishing you and yours a happy holiday season! Xo. Lauren
