Sporty Mara

Loved Mara Hoffman for quite a bit now (see Exhibit A), everything from her Swimsuits to her vibrant Frocks, she strikes the perfect balance of fun and flirty.  And while I love a healthy dose of flirty, I feel inclined to tone it down a notch with, surprise surprise, a good pair of Sneaks.  Not to say this number from Morton James wouldn't be perfect with some Gladiators, but personally, I feel more in my skin with the Chucks.  And after all, it's about finding what works best for you, and your style, don't you think?  

Alright gang, I've got my mom flying in from Florida this morning and I cannot WAIT--missing her something fierce!  Y'all have a wonderful weekend and shop some other Mara's below (some good sales on some of her pieces)!  Make it a good one!

A Printed Dress





dress (Mara Hoffman), shoes (Tracy Reese), bag (Kate Spade LOVE THIS), necklace (Maya Brenner), cuff (unknown), rings (Anna Beck & Kendra Scott, SIMILAR), shades (Gucci)

If you follow s + s on Instagram you may have already seen me sport this Mara Hoffman lovely (whom I'm obsessed with btw, but more on that later) to Churchill Downs the other afternoon to kick off Derby week--ps:  big Thanks to America's Best Racing for hosting a lovely day at the track.  I had such a great time with Danielle placing some bets & gabbing away.  While most ladies will sport something very bright, cheery, and girly to the track--I wanted to switch it up by sporting a more modern dress but still having that element of lady with the tea length. 

 So back to Mara Hoffman--ummm, I want it all!  From the bikinis to the beach cover ups--the prints which are both modern & feminine are my absolute fave.  Make sure to check out some of my picks below.
