I got this maxi from J.Crew back in March and finally feel like I can wear it! I checked out Katz's Deli in the L.E.S with my sister, Sam and parents this weekend and unbeknownst to us, it was actually their 125th anniversary. We had to wait in a bit of a line and once we got in it was still chaotic but totally worth it to check out this NYC fixture. Word of advice on the menu: get the pastrami, it's what they do best!

Gearing up for my trip to Charleston that is at the beginning of May and I pulled some vacay outfits together that all would work fantastically with this Alice & Olivia bodysuit that is currently on sale. 

The first outfit to the left works great for sightseeing and walking along King Street. Comfortable shoes are always a must and while I love these Chanel espadrilles, Tory Burch has a similar pair that are less expensive and I love just as much (see link in the caption!)

The nautical maxi and bright Ray-Bans over on the right are perfect for a beach stroll. The bodysuit could totally double as a swimsuit.- Strictly for bathing purposes!

For a night out in Lowcountry, I'm sure I'll still want to dress it up a bit with some heels, but a pair of none denim shorts can keep it casual and still appropriate for night. I'm really into these sandal booties right now (you can find a similar pair here)!

P.S. The back of the bodysuit is fully open! ;)
