Green Aftermath…the day after St. Patrick’s Day may be a bummer for some, but for me…it’s pure bliss. Let’s break down just a few of the reasons why I am not a St. Paddy’s Day fan…A) Overcrowding in NYC {have you tried navigating the streets of Manhattan the day of any parade…let alone the St. Patrick’s Day parade? Do Not Attempt!} B) Drunk / Obnoxious people on the LIRR {cue throwing up teens + countless fights…both my trains yesterday were delayed…lovely} C) It is an excuse for everyone (irish or not) to get drunk without actually knowing the meaning behind the holiday {although my grandma definitely gave me the detailed history of St. Patrick’s Day I can’t remember it exactly, but I guarantee it wasn’t a national ‘Get Drunk’ holiday…but hey who knows} Anyways…back to something I do enjoy…colored jeans! Haha…like that segue? 😉
Happy Fri-Yay! What better way to kick off the weekend than with some shopping! Well in true Missy fashion, I never pay retail for anything (you think I am kidding but I’m not…if there isn’t a sale, a promo code or a coupon, it ain’t getting purchased :p) so I had to share a shopping guide where all the items are on SALE (ends 3.7.15) + Get FREE Shipping (win/win if you ask me!). Use code BigEvent15 at checkout from ShopBop to get upwards of 25% off your entire order <3
There may still be snow on the ground, but in my mind it’s time to shop for spring + more importantly, start shopping for my upcoming trip to LA in May! All I want is colorful handbags, cute sandals and plenty of rompers and jump suits (need to feel like a true laid back Californian :p) While I shared about of my picks above, scroll down to shop + share more of my picks and be sure to comment with what pieces you are craving for spring!
Welcome to the beautiful beaches of Long Island….which are now covered in tons and tons of snow….yea it may take a few more months for me to be actually relaxing on one of these having some fun in the sun but for now…I guess some snow time it is. I am one who rarely wants to dress weather appropriate (for gods sake I refuse to wear any coat that actually closes….yes I am weird and hate constricting clothing #weirdo…I feel like I am always having hot flashes even though I am only 23…maybe i should get that checked out but I digress).
I decided to get it together and embrace the snow with these Joules boots which are perfect for rain, sleet or snow (or if you are in NY a combination of all three). This past weekend has been a whirlwind of weather conditions…snow, rain then a warm sunny Sunday…and that’s what made this look possible…
So I based this whole look around these adorable Joules boots. I LOVE how feminine and girly they are since with me the girlier the better :p The bow on the back of these is the perfect touch! To add a little extra pop to the look I included my cobalt blue clutch (on Poshmark here), mirrored Ray Bans, black infinity scarf and of course my black floppy hat (which I had to keep holding onto my head while I was attempting to do a cute jump in the snow #epicfail).
Can’t forget the bling…here + here. I kept my outfit simple since when I am about to go out in the snow on the weekends, all I care about is adding a little color and being comfortable so all I need is my red Vince Camuto coat and my Hue black leather leggings and bam! Ready to take on the weekend (or the week…whichever has the shittier weather I suppose…sorry mom the weather is making me so angry I kinda have to curse) Where is my sunshine?! #HurryUpSummer
This is what I am wearing to the office today…NOT! Trust me I am counting down the seconds till I could slip on some shorts and sandals once again, but for now I will have to relive some sunny moments with these photos from one of my outfit shoots in Florida (if you missed my previous Florida posts check them out here + here). The weather was perfect, not too hot…not too cold, just right…The perfect weather to mix a cropped sweater, shorts + of course sandals (how great are these white ankle strap sandals…I can’t wait to wear them all spring/summer long, PS you can get them for under $50 below)!
This white sweater was a staple of mine in Florida because it would be brisk in the morning, warm in the afternoon and then slightly cooler in the evening so this sweater came with me everywhere (a gal has to be prepared at all times :p).My accessories were staples for my trip as well. Simple white sandals can be worn with jeans, shorts, skirts or dresses, so they are a great option to bring when traveling to a warmer climate (which is pretty much anywhere other than New York #GetMeOutOfHere). My bag is from Coach a few years back but I found two similar cross body options here + here. And of course some bling is always in order…I layer this skull necklace over everything + yes, I am totally obsessed with these blue Ray Bans which were a Birthday gift from my parents right before I left for my trip.
So in actuality I am bundled up in layers…warm pants, sweaters, vests and more…pretty much yesterday’s outfit post but hey it’s fun to have a little ‘throwback‘ moment every now and then right? :p| Click To Shop + Share My Look |
What a weekend and what a week. One…it’s NYFW and I am beyond stressed (stay tuned for some fashion week diary posts from shows, parties and events) and two it was Valentine’s Day. So I never try to get too personal on here but once again after another interesting dating weekend I learned something…I am completely clueless when it comes to guys so thank god I am not clueless when it comes to all things fashion (hey a girl has to be a master at something right? haha!) and I also am pretty thick headed and refuse to have anything but the best…is it bad to have high expectations? I guess I will find out sooner or later 😉
So if the title didn’t give it away, I am kinda obsessed with the whole Fifty Shades phenomenon. Ok, so I may not have read the book (I must admit I am not a reader) and I have yet to see the movie (it was a busy fashion weekend) but I LOVE the entire movie soundtrack and therefore I decided to rock gray head to toe! So let’s break down the shades of gray…This gray v neck tee from Old Navy is a piece I can’t live without…it’s soft, fits me perfectly and can be dressed up or dressed down for any occasion. So to dress it up, I layered a lighter shade of gray boyfriend blazer over my tee…and to pull the look together…gray pumps.
