Sequins in the Park

I was attending a wedding ceremony at the Queens Botanical Garden when I saw a gorgeous field of green bathed in sunlight.  It was the perfect opportunity to take some photos.  Coincidentally, my dress has a hint of green, so it blended right in.

I found this dress on sale at Shopbop during a Friends and Family promotion.  It's so different from all the dark-colored sequin dresses on the market, so I just had to have it.  This dress would look better on me if I lost some weight (I'm still carrying about 20 extra pounds, post-baby), but I love it anyway.

Fuzzy with Bling

I have been searching for fun sweaters, in preparation for what is likely to be yet another crazy winter here in NY. When it comes to sweaters, I used to stick to the basics, with simple colors and cashmere. But I always have the most fun with funky sweaters that no one else wears, so this year, I challenged myself to look for cool sweaters. I was excited to find this fuzzy, shiny (and warm) sweater-- it's fun, and I can wear it with so many things because it's white and silver!

On a side note, maybe I'm on a hunt for sweaters because I'm planning an Ugly Sweater Party for Christmas!
