{ a weekend away } off old montauk highway

like i mentioned to you all HERE, the sweet people over at white + warren sent me out to montauk this past weekend, to photograph my most-loved looks from their summer 2011 collection. this was one of my favorite projects yet! my friend and photographer jeremy james came along, with my little sister erin to assist. the three of us had so much fun running around the surf lodge (the stylish boutique hotel where i stayed) ~ snapping photos, sipping on insane ginger lemonades, and generally soaking up the sun in style:

{ shirtdress } dress/shirt

a few of my readers ~ and many of my friends ~ have mentioned that there haven't been enough bunny sightings on this blog of late. like you had to beg! as my furry baby quickly learned, your wish is my command.

i, on the other hand, have mentioned that i can't get enough all-in-one pieces that can be dressed up or down at the drop of a hat (or, in this case, a ratty beanie). when shopping, i've always challenged myself to only buy pieces that can be worn in at least 2 ways, especially in summer. it makes packing for quick trips so much simpler!
that makes this dress/shirt a recent fave. this weekend we were out at the beach; sunday started with an early morning walk along the water, followed by a long afternoon reading 'midnight in the garden of good and evil' on the deck (in preparation for tomorrow's trip to savannah!), and finished with a dinner date with the glamour guy.

i didn't change my shirt/dress all day! i did, however, change my look.

{ above: dawn vs. dusk }
come evening, i buttoned up the back of my blouse (an elizabeth+james signature) ~ bringing the hem up a good six inches and necessitating a frothy skirt, matching belt, extra jewelry, and heels. yes, this sort of look is much more 'me' than its barefoot predecessor, but every girl needs space in her style for a bit of breezy beach chic, especially when it makes her puppy oh so happy. here's to pieces that work both ways!


{ elizabeth & james dress, thanks in part to tobi. look 1: h+m beanie, custom jewelry, and papillon pup // look 2: the glamourai sand dune necklace, hyde belt, antropologie skirt, rachel rachel roy bag (as seen HERE), christian louboutin shoes }

{ costume of the day } to market

like i said before, this week was the coldest of the season. to cope, i decamped to the country for the weekend, where the house has a fireplace (and central heating!) i can cozy up to. it's times like these that living in a pre-war townhouse with unreliable radiators seems to not be so charming.

because of the brutal chill, the only time i actually left home was to stock up on veggies at citarella. at least it gave me an excuse to debut my new blue bag! the fine folks at rebecca minkoff sent it over last week, with an invitation to test drive tweet my bag ~ which just launched today. a sister site to tweet my style ~ the super cool community where you can easily upload your personal style pics to facebook and twitter via any wireless device ~ tweet my bag is offering decadent discounts and prodigious prizes to anyone who uploads personal pictures with a purse! click here to enter.
