Coming Soon: Issa for Banana Republic

Although I’m loving my time in Israel (and soon to be trip to Southeast Asia), after two months away from America I’m definitely experiencing  severe FOMO- fear of missing out. I’m jealous that my friends back home are doing fun things without me (like going to Vegas, aka my Mecca) and all of the other cool things going on in the good ol’ USA. Luckily, I won’t have to fret about missing the upcoming designer collaboration hitting Banana Republic shelves soon! Issa for Banana Republic will feature 40 pieces and be available in stores and online starting on August 8th. You can bet I’ll be fighting to snag one of the sought-after recreations of the dress Kate Middleton wore to her engagement announcement, which will be available in navy and plum.

These are just a few of my favorite pieces from the collection. What are yours?

Currently Loving: Milly for Banana Republic (and discount code!)

Okay so I don’t exactly need any more clothes, but the sweet Milly designs currently available at Banana Republic are seriously making me wish I were stateside right about now. I adore all of the colorful pencil skirts and preppy blouses. I’m dreaming of a new work wardrobe coming to my closet in September when I move to Los Angeles…

Currently Loving: Pret-a-Surf for J.Crew

I’m in love with the chic simplicity of the recent Pret-a-Surf and J.Crew collaboration. I’ve certainly loved living 15 minutes away from the beach for the past 2 months and I’m excited to move to Los Angeles in September where I won’t be too far away either. I would love to get back in to surfing and these darling preppy boy shorts and rash guards would be the perfect accessory for a dip in the Pacific Ocean, no?

 

 

P.S. J.Crew is giving everyone an additional 40% off of final sale merchandise and free shipping on orders over $100 this week, just use code STYLE40 at checkout!

FEED U.S.A. for Target

Okay Okay I know I’m a little late to the game on this one (being in the Middle East for 2 months will do that to you) but I am adoring the FEED U.S.A for Target line! FEED U.S.A. is an organization founded and chaired by Lauren Bush Lauren (Lauren Bush married Ralph Lauren’s son… yeah that’s a mouthful) which aims to end world hunger one meal at a time. Each item they sell equates to a certain number of meals provided to impoverished children around the world.  The clothing in my opinion is a little meh, but the housewares are great. I can’t wait until mid-September when I will be decorating my brand new apartment in Los Angeles. I would love to have a few of the pieces from this collection around :)

FEED for Target Scented Jar Candle, $10

FEED for Target Acrylic Water Bottle, $13

FEED for Target Pie Plate, $15

(I’ve convinced myself that owning this will automatically increase my pie-baking ability.)

FEED for Target Bakeware – Small 47oz, $17

FEED for Target Bakeware – Large 155oz, $25

FEED for Target Throw Blanket 50×60″, $30

FEED for Target Bike Helmet – Blue Paisley, $35

OOTD: Feeling (lime) Green

As I showcased yesterday, here’s what I wore to my end of year sorority banquet. I love this outfit because it’s a great staple for almost any occasion and easy to pack.

I wore a lime green one shoulder dress (similar, $38), Express statement necklace ($30), and Enzo Anglioni gold glitter heels ($120).

It’s Sunday back in the States which means weekend, but here in Israel it’s a work day, so I’m headed to the office. Hope y’all are enjoying the day off still :)
