A couple of weeks ago I had an overwhelming feeling of being uninspired. My creativity hit a dead zone. Virtually I was already making wish lists for fall with leather pieces from head to toe, and planning my looks for New York Fashion Week. In actuality I was helping clients get ready for summer soirees and putting a spin on a few fabulous frocks, and thankfully that jolted a little excitement in me.

I decided a dress could probably lift me out of my rut, clearly shopping is my therapy of choice. I didn’t want to go to one of my “go-to” spots, I needed to mix things up… I peeked through my shop-til-you-drop  bookmarks tab and there with my extended list of spots to lust over was an old friend. It’s been a while, so I went down to their lower east side store, and found the piece that brought me back to bright, a lively chiffon halter maxi dress by Champagne & Strawberry via Pixie Market. I fell in love with the details of this piece. If you look close at the chiffon you can see a glittery champagne sparkle laced throughout the fabric, it gives the dress a beyond enchanting feeling. It was the intricate excerpts of textured yellow swiss dot playfully arranged in an oversized chevron pattern that channeled something energetic in me and I instantly knew the story I wanted to tell with my new find. {Special thank you to my husband who trotted over to Liberty State Park with me to make my vision come to life}

And with that, I guess you could say I got my groove back.
