the Banana Republic x Issa collection

Edit 1 Edit 5Edit 2 Edit 4Edit 3 Edit 6 Edit 7 Edit 9Edit 8Dress: c/o Banana Republic x Issa // Heels: Miu Miu (on sale!) // Bracelets: Banana Republic // Scarf: vintage, similar here and here // Necklace: c/o Banana Republic // Bag: Celine // Lips: L’Oreal Color Riche in Stubborn Plum// Nails: Essie in Play Date

I think we all can agree that Kate Middleton wins the title of cutest girl in the UK, right?  She’s a new mom, has impeccable fashion style, and rocks a gorgeous head of hair!  Since she’s been a major fashion inspiration to me, it brings me great pleasure to introduce to you the new Banana Republic x Issa collection–style straight from the UK that is fit for a queen (or a duchess??).

I loved Kate’s royal blue Issa engagement dress that sold out worldwide in seconds, and jumped at the opportunity to take the new Banana Republic x Issa wrap dress for a spin in the same beautiful royal blue sapphire hue.  I love this piece because its a great transition color for fall and a classic wrap dress doesn’t go out of style.  Paired with a pebbled statement necklace, the dress is an essential piece for a work-to-night outfit and a very flattering shape.

The Banana Republic x Issa collection is available today in stores, so head to your nearest Banana Republic and check it out!  Thank you to Banana Republic and Issa for helping me channel my inner Duchess!  Cheerio!

    This dress looks very pretty on you. I love what you paired with it. Is this the tulum turquoise that was online?

      Emi–This is the royal blue color but it seems like there was a mislabeling of the color online calling it turquoise. It is indeed royal blue! Here is the communication from Banana Republic:

    You look really great in the dress!

    The necklace is too much, in my opinion. It sort of takes away from your pretty face and your silky hair, your two best accessories! It also competes with your scarf. The bracelets and shoes are very lovely.

    I bought the same dress today online, so I hope it fits well!

Finally tried @dintaifungusa and wow! So good! Her Finally tried @dintaifungusa and wow! So good! Here’s what we ordered:

🌟Cucumber Salad - a bright and light starter I’d love to make these at home (and @glucosegoddess would be proud!)
🌟String Beans with Garlic - I would have eaten 3 more orders of this had they not been $16/each. I’ve already been searching for copy cat recipes because they are just SO DAMN GOOD
🌟Kurobuta Pork Xiao Long Bao - these are their classic soup dumpling and very yummy and chewy and I loved the soy-vinegar sauce pairing with it
🌟 Sticky Rice & Kurobuta Pork Shao Mai - these were recommended in a TikTok video but they weren’t my favorite. The rice plus the dough was just too much IMO
🌟 Chicken Spicy Wontons - these were very good! I would drink the bowl of sauce if no one was watching…
🌟 Chocolate & Mochi Xiao Long Bao - wow, what a great to end the meal! We don’t order dessert often but this really good. Love the melty creamy chocolate!

Can’t wait to go back! Have you been? You’ve got to try it!
I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board tog I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board together until late January because there it’s so much buzz around the new year and goal setting around the start of the new year…but how about waiting until the buzz around it starts to fade? I’ve been committed since 12/31/2022 but if you need some fresh inspiration for 2023…here you go!

Last year I made a digital vision board in Canva with about 8 vague photos and I never looked at it. This year, I got a huge poster board and nearly 100 very specific images of the things I want. VERY specific. In the short 3 weeks having this propped up in my office and seeing it each day, I’m already seeing the needle moving on these items! 

Have you created a vision board or set goals for 2023? What doe is mean to you? How are you achieving your goals this year? #goalsetting #visionboard
