The other week I made a trip to Brooklyn to  work with the amazing photographer Brittanny Taylor, as well as getting to work with Rachel Lynch of I Hate Blonde and Maeve, a model from Images Management NYC. They were all so wonderful and I can't wait to work with them again in the future!

So as you know I live in Virginia and this was up and back in one day kind of trip because I had work the next day. What a whirlwind! Before I left in the morning I made this flower crown with some of the left over flowers I had from a shoot over the weekend and a fun project with my cousin's adorable kiddos. I think it turned out quite well, if I do say so myself!

As for the cover up, I received this from Jordan Taylor a while back and was trying to figure out how to wear it so that I didn't look like a cow. As well as try to make it just a bit modest, so that it can be worn for more occasions than just around the beach. So I loosened the straps to have it hang longer and then donned this crocheted poncho that I got from a thrift store! It covers the parts that I want hidden, but doesn't make it too frumpy!

I paired these wedge mary janes from Aldo with it for a boho chic vibe and added the gold accessories for a touch of class.

While I was in New York for Fashion week back in February, my sister decided to take a day trip from Philly to come visit! So since I had not had a chance to visit my cousin and his lovely wife, Gian Carlo and Sarah, we decided to make it over to Brooklyn for brunch. Of course we had to take some photos for the blog!

They recently published their book Beer Lover's New York, which I had to purchase and I got them to sign it! I am now hoping that after I read it I will become a bit more knowledgeable about beer! Check out their site: BeerUnion and then go get that book!!  

A little note on my outfit...I found this awesome top while looking through the clearance section at Target. It was the only one there and it fit; definitely a meant to be purchase! For this outfit I paired it with the flirty a-line skirt to add some femininity to the look. I can't wait to pair this top with a few other outfits so you can see its versatility.
