His & Hers

Yesterday Michael and I had a nice lunch by the water and took pictures with his dog J.J. It's slowly warming up in Connecticut so let's cross our fingers for lots more skirt weather in the weeks to come!

ON HIM: Land's End shirt / Brooks Brothers pants / Sperry Top-Sider shoes ON HER: Eyeglasses c/o Mezzmer / J.Crew shirt / H&M belt (similar) / Zara skirt (similar) / Tory Burch wallet / Design Darling bangles (coming soon) / ASOS ballet flats

I was so excited to work with Mezzmer, an awesome eyewear company that sends you five pairs of glasses to try on and doesn't charge you until you've selected the pair you like best! Each pair is just $99 and I'm wearing the Town Hall, a light tortoiseshell that works well with my fair complexion.

P.S. I'm obsessed with these bangles, coming on Monday to the boutique! New arrivals are the best :)
