Happy Monday, friends! What a weekend! To be honest, I’ve been a bit of a recluse getting all of my apartment things in order. I got so much done. My body hurts and I feel about eighty years old. But it has been so worth it – I’m really happy with how the space is coming along. Yesterday I gave myself a break… I spent the morning tidying up and then went to the park with a big group of friends. They packed a feast (pasta salad, fried chicken, even a grilled pork loin) and we sat in the sun and ate and drank rosé + mimosas. It was a pretty perfect Easter, and also such a beautiful day – our first real, sunny day in New York.
You know by now that I love a good lace dress, and a blush pink one at that! This dress is already a favorite in my closet – it is just so pretty! I have been a big fan of Alexis for some time now and just love their designs. They do such a great job with texture and lace… this is my first piece. I will say that their dresses run really small, or at least this one does! I am usually a size 6 or a medium, and bought a large. And I gotta say… the large is tight.. especially around the bust/rib cage! So be forewarned… but I don’t mind sizing up as it really is just the prettiest dress. I am helping to host a fundraiser with 100cameras (if you are in NYC, come!!!) next month and right now this is the top contender for what I will wear.
