Did you see that Olivia Palermo is the new ambassador for Banana Republic? I’m really into the entire collection. This could be a serious problem for my wallet because everything is looking so cute, especially on Miss Olivia!

I wanted to share two recent outfits I wore for my birthday. I’m going to try to be better about including more “everyday” looks here. All of my outfit posts are things I actually wear (no costumes here!), but I typically don’t shoot my plain, everyday-y outfits.

My mom was in town, but she was leaving the afternoon of my birthday so we did a dinner the night before. It was so nice to have her here, birthday or not. Gar and I took her to our favorite Italian restaurant in Greenwich– we love sitting outside and are trying to squeeze in as much al fresco dining as we can before it gets too cold!

I picked up this peplum top and I love it. Peplum is hard for me to pull off (larger chest, smaller waist), but I went for it anyway. Although I’m not sure it’s the most flattering top in the world on me, it’s so comfortable and easy to wear. I think it will be really cute when it cools off layered with a field jacket. For now, I did the J. Crew Sleeve Roll and paired it with my new (ripped 😱) jeans.
