Dress-ed for Summer

I love a one-stop-shop outfit and dresses have that ease, especially in Summer! A dress can make you stylishly presentable in less than five minutes by simply throwing it on! These summer dresses ooze chic and simplicity. Outdoor barbecue? Done! Day at the beach? Done! Flea market shopping and coffee with a friend? Done and Done! Simply add a pair of easy-to-throw-on sandals with a go-to bag and your outfit is complete. You'll be out the door in minutes!

Which dress would you love to grab and go?

More Photos from New York

The infamous ice skating rink. We didn't skate because we had so many other things we wanted to see.//Top of the Rock, such a beautiful view. Although it was crowded the day we went, it was completely worth it.//A worn out little boy; lots of walking in NY.//And of course, making music on the piano in the toy store--yes the one Tom Hanks danced on in the movie, Big. That toy store was A-MA-ZING!! A human toy soldier met us at the door. We got to meet superheros and see life size stuffed toys. I felt like a kid again. So FUN!

Guess Where We Went--

New York!

This was my first time; it's such a vibrant city. And contrary to what I'd heard, the people were generously kind to help us whenever we needed it. We filled each day with sightseeing and fun (thanks to my husband's ultimate planning skills). LOTS of walking. Thankfully I took my tourist tennies. And in case you don't know the Metro card works on the subway AND the buses; we didn't realize that till halfway through our trip. Ha. Here are a few of the places we visited:

It was incredible to be away with my family in such a gorgeous city. I'd love for that to happen more often. However, I think we museumed-out the kids because by the end they were moving bench to bench through the art galleries while my husband and I browsed. He teased them that it was less of a vaca-tion and more of an edu-cation. The trip did us all tremendous good but I'll admit, I'm thankful to be home. I'm a homebody after all.

In case you're wondering, I did not wear the Little Red Dress to New York. I'd set aside this week to be out of it, but I'm in it again and will resume updates next week.

Thanks to everyone who sent condolences yesterday, I appreciate all your sweet thoughts.
