TRANSITION INTO SPRING

Quick post for you ladies today. This weather has me excited for spring! This thermal top is currently on sale in this ivory color, and regular price in the other few colors. This thermal is lightweight— perfect for transitioning into spring. It is long, even longer in the back so it’s perfect for leggings! I knotted it in the front to shorten it a bit. I also love the back detail of this top. It’s a perfect top to add to ...

PEEP TOE BOOTIES AND A DUSTER

As you can see, I’m loving duster cardigans lately! (See this post!) They add just a little bit of drama to an otherwise simple outfit. I found this duster at FOREVER21 for under $40! What a steal right?! I’m all about adding staples to my closet that will be on heavy rotation throughout the year. This duster is also a great transition piece for all seasons. I paired it with a lace camisole I found in stores at H&M ...

CLASSIC ROCKER TEE

I have always had a thing for graphic tees. Lately I’m loving a classic rocker tee paired with some heavy statement jewelry. Rocker tees are such a classic look, but adding some sort of statement piece takes this look to a whole different level. Since it is just a t-shirt, I added a necklace and a blazer with some heels to amp up this look. This statement necklace is from the BAUBLEBAR collection at Target called SUGARFIX. It’s ...

WEEKEND BLUES

Happy Friday! I’m still fixing a few things on the blog, but for the most part got it up and running. Anyways, I just can’t quit this blue suede jacket! A suede jacket is definitely the perfect closet staple that will last you for years. I love this BLANKNYC one because it’s a moto style jacket and gives off that cool girl vibe. It can also be worn many different ways (see this post). For this look, I layered a hoodie ...

I love how chambray looks with sweaters. I wore ...

BLUE SUEDE JACKET

So when I saw this suede jacket in a gorgeous shade of blue I was in love! I’ve had my eye on this suede jacket for a while now, but this blue color was just too good! At first I was hesitant about this jacket. I was afraid it was something I couldn’t wear ...

NEUTRALS FOR SPRING

It’s currently pouring rain, but I’m all giddy for spring. Even though spring is still a little ways away, you can start transitioning your outfit into a spring look. During the winter, I tend to gravitate towards dark colors such as black, gray and navy. Although I love those colors, I wanted to add lighter neutrals into my style. Neutral colors are the perfect addition to any closet. They go with everything! Lately I have been ...

ONE DRESS, TWO WAYS

dress (old last seen here and here) similar here// sweater// sneakers// hat Isn’t it amazing what accessories can do to an outfit?! I love having something in my closet that can be used in multiple outfits. A simple black dress can easily be dressed up or down. To dress it down I wore some comfy sneakers, minimal delicate jewelry and a baseball hat. It’s an easy outfit that’s casual, but still looks put together. I’ve ...

KNITS AND RIPS

Happy Friday!! These jeans are on repeat! BLANKNYC makes great jeans. I’m a sucker for destroyed denim. It’s taking over my denim collection. These jeans have rips, but also have white paint splatter. At first I wasn’t too sure about the paint splatter, but it’s nothing too crazy. I love pairing my distressed denim with cozy knit sweaters. The tough looking ripped denim balances out the sweet detail of a knit. This ...

JOGGER STYLE

This sneaker and jogger trend is amazing! I love it! Joggers are everywhere right now. These ones are a combination of joggers and leggings. Some joggers can be very baggy, but these ones are nice and tight. They have a lot of stretch to them, but do not stretch out — major plus! They come in this charcoal grey and a black. I am wearing a size small to give you an idea on sizing. I do believe they are true to size. The sneaker trend is ...
