A few weeks ago I traveled up to NYC with my creative tribe for the Glamour Women of the Year Awards.  It was a quick trip but we managed to pack in a ton.  Planning ahead made all the difference.  

So with a little research I found this darling eatery for brunch, While We Were Young in New York’s Greenwich Village.

This place was basically made for Instagram.  It’s small but packs on the pretty and darling details in each and every corner.

Pretty pink polka dots.  Say that five times fast!

Now in reality I know most of the United States may be having what is called Autumn or Winter-like weather but here in Florida it’s still very much Summer.

Case in point, this adorable sleeveless polka dot number I’m wearing in the middle of December.  I know it’s unlikely for many of you to pull off this look but if you’re having a palm tree winter like me El Nino is totally making resort wear in December a thing.

For as long as I can remember James Bond has been one of my favorite fictional characters.  What’s not to love?  You have that accent.  Check.  The style.  Check.  The cool cars.  Check.  The swag.  Check check!  

But just as cool and important as James Bond is too the entire Bond series the Bond Girl is just as vital.

She’s always dressed to kill and fiercely beautiful with the wits to keep up with the ever so clever Bond.

Innocent white lace is given a dark romantic twist with the additions of deep merlot and violet accessories. 

I love the simple elegance of this oversized lace dress.  It’s not a typical silhouette you might see on a plus woman but I guess that’s why I love it so much.

We’re in the this awkward period of seasonal fashion where there are still peekaboo days of summer but we are clearly beyond the brink and well into autumn.

A soft color pallet of muted grey and powder blues is totally giving me Cinderella moment that’s perfect for Fall.   

I will never ever see anything wrong in wearing tulle during the day.  I used to feel that I had to reserve my tulle pieces for special occasions but that’s a rule that’s meant to be broken.

So no, I don’t have a royal ball to attend where I will meet my prince charming but that’s not going to stop me from having my Cinderella moment.
