The Style Up

G O O D  M O R N I N G and happy Monday! 

Today I'm featured on The Style Up's blog!  The Style Up is a free service that offers daily fashionable outfit suggestions based upon your location, lifestyle and style sense.  Every evening The Style Up sends an email with tomorrow's weather, and suggestions.  Couldn't be any easier, right?  

I met the founder and CEO, Kendall Herbst, and she is sweet as can be.  She's also super smart, with an MBA from MIT.  This girl knows what's up.  Kendall asked me a number of questions -- we talked life, fashion, food and entertaining.  All the good stuff in this world!  Here's a sneak peek: What five items do you get the most use of in your closet?  If someone wanted to cook a romantic Valentine's meal what would you suggest?  Read on to get my answers. 

here's the leather jacket I gush about

I look forward to their emails every night; you should give it a try too...

Hope you enjoy the write up and using The Style Up!

Mrs. Wolf.

Canopy Launch Party!

Last night was so fun -- we celebrated the launch of Canopy New York (a NYC based company specializing in sun protective clothing) and their kickstarter campaign.  It was the best!  If you missed yesterday's post on this amazing dress brand...you can read it here.

Here are a few pictures from the night --

First and foremost...the dresses!!

And the food!

The apartment was beautiful -- filled with baubles and flowers (my favorites!):

I wore a lovely combination of glitter and leather:

Can't wait for my dresses (and leggings!! and infinity scarf!!)* to arrive from Canopy New York!  Between wedding planning, cooking and DIYing, I really don't have time for sunscreen -- this line is literally my jam.

Canopy New York

I just learned that May is Sun Awareness month, and I’m realizing there’s a lot of information to be aware of.  For example, did you know that 20% of Americans will be diagnosed with skin cancer over the course of their lifetime?  It’s a sobering statistic.  Awareness of this topic is very important, because most people don’t realize that the sun’s rays can reach your skin through clouds and windows.  That’s why its so important to use sun protection every day – even if it’s overcast, or if you’ll be spending the day in an office.  

But if you’re anything like me, you aren’t excited to wake up and slather your body in sunscreen – it’s tough to blend into your skin, leaves marks on your clothes, and in my opinion, most sunscreens smell like chemicals.  

Luckily, there’s a better option for sun protection – Canopy New York makes clothing from fabrics that block 98% of the sun’s rays – the same level of protection that SPF 50 sunscreen offers.  Aside from the scientific benefits of Canopy’s sun protective clothing, their designs are also incredibly chic – I need to get my hands on a Popover ASAP.  But my favorite feature of the company is that my sister is the founder!

In conjunction with Sun Awareness month, she and her team are running a kickstarter campaign in an effort to raise funds to produce their first collection.  I’m going to celebrate Sun Awareness by ordering the Popover and the T (don't you love the two-tone?!) so that I can keep my skin protected whenever I come in contact with the sun – which I’m realizing is more often than I’d known.

Which design is your favorite?
