Put A Little WANG In It

Always chaos when H&M releases a collaborative collection with a highly sought after designer. Today, we jump for joy as Alexander Wang's collection for H&M offers a high-end take on my typical gym day attire, or rather, what I wore to class during Fall Field Hockey season throughout college - minus the scuba dress.

Check out the collection HERE

If I Were A French Girl

If I were a French girl....la la la la la la la la la (Gwen Stefani?) I'd certainly work my way into incorporating each of the 9 essential items featured above, into my wardrobe. Luckily enough, i've had a soft spot for Parisian chic for some time now and have acquired most of them. I love the effortless, "I Woke Up Like This" attitude. It's a natural beauty that I appreciate on any woman. They may take longer than 20 minutes to get ready in the morning to look that way, but the end verdict is so laid-back chic, i'm in love. Get all the details from this article written by Who What Wear.

My second year at the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic at Liberty State Park and I did things right. After getting my feet wet last year and taking it all in, I learned quickly the must-haves and dos prior to the event.

A- definitely worth purchasing at least one of the First Ferry Tickets. Although these tickets are double the cost of General Admission, it is worth having someone get over to the park and grabbing a prime spot to set your picnic right in front of the polo pitch.

B- pack snacks and water! I had a lovely selection of fruits for champagne, meats, cheeses and crackers.

C- blankets are essential but chairs and a mini table are just awesome. I didn't bring a set this year but wouldn't be opposed to having one next year.

D- comfy shoes are a necessity as you literally walk 20 minutes. I tell you no lie. Plus after a day of drinking champagne who knows where your liquid courage will take you afterwards.

Moment At The Met

Having Museum Mile in my backyard - so to speak - I decided to start taking advantage. Others come from miles away to visit the museums of this city and I better start checking them out myself. Today was the Museum Mile Festival and I certainly enjoyed the street music and free admission. Although, most of The Met was blocked off except for the main floor. It gave a good tease as to what lies beyond the velvet ropes.

One of my favorite parts within the recently dubbed Anna Wintour Costume Center, were the quotes imprinted on the glass within the displays. My favorite (pictured above) - Forget all you know & learn something every day - Charles James.

Apologies for the poor images taken above - no flash allowed don't ya know!

Had a lovely break with a colleague and took a few fun snaps last week outside our office. The tulips are absolutely gorgeous and we just couldn't resist.
