WARDROBE WEDNESDAY: BLACK AND WHITE

How can you ever go wrong with black and white?  Am I right?  Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love color, but sometimes a little black and white with just a pop of color can go a long way.  If you follow my Instagram account, you may have already seen me wear this dress when Rich and I had a date night and went to our friend's house for dinner in the city.  I knew we would be doing a lot of walking around the city both before and after dinner so I went for these gladiators sandals which are so comfy and on sale too!  I also love maxi dresses, and this one that I picked up recently is 100% cotton and feels like you are wearing pajamas.  It will be perfect to wear all summer long, or be great as a beach cover-up, and it will even transition well into fall with a denim jacket.  I love being "smart" about how I spend my money on clothes, and these pieces are not only affordable, but I know I'll get my money's worth out of them.  That's Jet Set Smart fashion!  Happy Hump Day!

Hey guys! We are on our first real vacation as a family-of-four this week...we jet setted to sunny California to see family and friends and do fun stuff with the kids!  We are exploring great new towns, trying awesome restaurants, and discovering lots of amazing things that I can't wait to tell you all about when we get back.  In the meantime, I'll probably be sort of MIA this week, but if you want to follow us along on our trip...check out my daily posts on Instagram!  Hope you're all having a great week! :-)

REVELING IN THE AMAZING REVEL

Happy New Year 2013 Jet Set Smart readers!  Hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday and good travels.  I wrapped up my 2012 with a trip to the new Revel Resort in Atlantic City.  In one word...it was AMAZING!  My husband and I have been wanting to check it out not only because it's the newest hotel resort and casino on the Atlantic City boardwalk, but also because we wanted to support the shore since business is hurting up and down the Jersey coast thanks to Superstorm Sandy.   I'm working on writing up an in-depth post about the hotel, its restaurants, and what we did while we were there.  In the meantime, here's a couple of pics I snapped with my i-phone for those of you who don't follow me on Instagram or Twitter.
