The Morning After



Last Wednesday I ran off to the Hamptons to spend a quick 24 hours at the StyleCaster mansion and to play dress up in Rebecca Minkoff's latest collection. While the uncooperative weather meant that my swimsuit remained packed away in my suitcase, meeting Rebecca herself, the clothes and purse ogling, evening dance off and unbelievable meals (thanks to Chef Danielle Saunders) more than made up for the fact that the sun never came out. Here are a few snaps of 'the morning after' the slumber party.


Red Velvet Waffles + Fried Chicken + Eggs Benedict for an afternoon brunch. Note: We had a pre-breakfast earlier in the morning that consisted of a fancy yogurt bar (right up my alley). Spoiled much?


Dancing by the pool in a very me, girlie meets edgy snakeskin dress with side cutouts (shoes, blazer, dress, sunglasses and clutch are all Rebecca Minkoff).


I'm smitten with this pink cutie.


Eggs Benedict (with fish fritters).


Getting ready for my "morning after" walk of shame. You can check out all of the other girls morning after looks on the Rebecca Minkoff Facebook page and vote for your favorite outfit (here). I would love your vote!
