Activewear for Spring
0

With our wedding right around the corner we have been upping our workouts each week! I’ve been on a mission to find new activewear for spring and have come across so many goodies on Shopbop. A few of my favorite activewear brands at the moment include Alo Yoga, Beyond Yoga and Year of Ours.

I started shopping Alo last year when Covid first hit – I picked up a few pair of their biker shorts and sports bras and haven’t stopped wearing them since!

Also if you’re in the market for new running shoes, I feel like everyone is talking about On Running. I personally love the way they look and apparently they are super comfortable as well! P.s. if you’re in NYC, they have a new retail location close to SoHo / Union Square.

What are some of your favorite activewear brands?

White Dresses For The Bride-To-Be
0

I cannot believe our wedding is right around the corner! I feel like we’ve been engaged for a million years now since we had to postpone our June wedding last year due to covid like so many other families. But hey, what are you going to do? Thank goodness we’re actually feeling good about being able to host our friends and families in Connecticut this summer with the vaccine rollout!!

Lately I’ve been on the hunt for white dresses and two-piece matching sets I could wear for various events including my bachelorette party, bridal shower & rehearsal dinner! I expect more designers will continue to rollout spring/summer collections in the coming weeks so we will have plenty of pretty options to choose from. A few of my favorites at the moment include this little white number from Black Halo for a bridal shower or rehearsal dinner! I feel like you can’t go wrong with anything from Black Halo for formal events as their dresses flatter every body type! I can’t get enough of this white dress from Silvia Tcherassi or this white dress from Alice + Olivia!

Everything from Sea and Juliet Dunn would compliment any bachelorette party wardrobe. There are also so many pretty white bathing suits out right now!! Be sure to check out Mara Hoffman, Marysia (always a fav), and L*Space!

Are you getting married this summer?! I’d love to know!! Happy shopping!! Xo. Lauren

The Vacation Edit
0

We’re headed to Charleston tomorrow and I’m feeling all of the vacation feels!! Looks like weather will be in the 60’s majority of the time we are there and we’re keeping our fingers crossed it may even cross over to the 70’s. Although we’re not planning on doing much I do want to do a little antique shopping if you guys have any recommendations! I’d also love to hear about any of your favorite restaurants!! Send me a message on insta or drop me a note! lauren@lauren-nelson.com. 🙂

Anywho – shopping for vacation is always more fun than winter clothes in my opinion.

There are so many beautiful new dresses, colorful bathing suits & fun tops/shorts that are out right now! I always love vacation styles from Agua Bendita, Zimmermann, Marysia, Juliet Dunn, and Tory Burch.

Be sure to shop some of my favorite pieces below and just in case you missed it, take a peak at everything I’m loving from Zimmermann right now! Happy Shopping. Xo. Lauren

Warm Weather Dreaming
0

I don’t know about you but I am fully ready for a warm weather getaway!! Josh and I are currently brainstorming warm weather destinations for February — anywhere we can play golf and tennis is good in our book! We’re currently considering a few different spots across Florida or Charleston!! If you guys have any recommendations, we’d love to hear! I’m also dying to go to Palmetto Bluff at some point but that one might just have to wait.

Now that we have a warm weather getaway on the horizon, I’ve started browsing resort/spring collections on Shopbop and there are so many pretty tops, dresses and bathing suits out right now!! One brand I’ve been loving since last year is Agua Bendita and Agua by Agua Bendita – number 2 and 3 below are from the brand and I am so tempted splurge on both. Eeeep! Other go-to brands for any warm weather vacation include my favs — Marysia, Rhode, and Carrie Forbes. I definitely love shopping for spring/summer more than winter I have to say — who’s with me?

Any one else dreaming of a warm weather getaway?! Happy shopping. Xx.
