FANCY NANCY: FROM DAY TO NIGHT

Nancy is a petite cutie with a vivacious and cheerful personality and an equally vibrant style!  She loves fun prints like this layered polka-dot party dress that is sophisticated all the same.  She also features the latest styles like her classic collared shirt/sweater combo from Anthropologie.  She perfectly transitions from a pretty and sophisticated daytime ensemble to a letting-loose-with-the-girls, fun garment for nighttime!  She may splurge for must-haves, but has an eye for sales and deals!

GIRLS TRIP IN LONG ISLAND

The Marder’s and the Levinsohn’s planned a weekend of R and R in Long Island as a mother-daughter trip!  We explored North Fork with it’s many wineries and had a wine tasting filled with laughter at Paumanok Vineyards.  Also in our vaca of fun, we had massages, a delicious farm-to-table dinner at Dark Horse, brunch at Love Lane Kitchen, and shopping at Tanger Outlets.  No words necessary for the insanely delicious note we ended on, pictured below: pastrami/turkey sandwiches from the famous Lido Deli in Long Beach! 

Perfect get-away with some of the best ladies around!

Erin is a simplist in her fashion and picks flattering, signature basics.  She is very modelesque wearing this classic Free People  piece.  She tends to sport high waisted skinny jeans with cute crop tops…but to add some snaz, she reveals a fun, strappy bra underneath!  Of course, she always looks adorable!

A typical spot we like to come and indulge is Burlington Bay where there are INCREDIBLE maple/black raspberry twist creemee’s that really are so creamy! Sounds like a weird combo but the unique tastes really compliment each other!

Lauren, aka The Rizz, is a bestie from college who is cute as a button with a great sense of style!  She is also one of the most hilarious people I know!  She rocks a gorgeous scarf for dinner at Barrio Bakery, drinks at the Lamp Shop, and the very necessary trip to the mother of all breakfast’s…Penny Cluse!

Occasion:

Barrio Bakery – Guilt-free pizza with delicious, local toppings!

The Lamp Shop – a bar filled with gorgeous lamps that are all for sale!  Add some sweet jazz tunes, and you’ve got the perfect post-dinner hang out lounge!

Penny Cluse – Seriously, their omelette’s are heavenly!

Abbie looked totally chic when I saw her in my hometown, White Plains, over Thanksgiving break!    Turns out this top was yesterday’s black friday score.  (I got sucked into the black friday allure as well!)

Outfit:

Ann Taylor Loft blouse and Naturalizer boots

Occasion:

Star Diner is as retro as diners go.  It is teensy tiny and you can watch your food being made.  It was a great spot for an Abby(ie) squared reunion and this yummy Western omelette!
