Someone has a case of the Mondays…and I think it may be me…#oops! I barely got any sleep last night because I was up late getting sucked in to my new favorite show ‘The Royals‘…have any of you watched it? Because I am kind of obsessed. Then just as I was about to head to sleep, I had to spend time on the phone with a little gecko by the name of Geico (I am researching new cars and needed to get quotes on insurance…boy isn’t being an adult fun lol #not) Anyways…Monday blues would be nothing without a new blue coat right? I scored this blue coat at the end of the season on sale (the perfect time to shop if you ask me).
Florals for spring?…#GroundBreaking….can you guess what movie that is from? My favorite movie ‘The Devil Wears Prada‘ of course! Although the famous ice queen is based on real life Anna Wintour, after yesterday’s amazing Zoolander moment during Paris Fashion Week…Anna seemed anything but icey and I absolutely loved it! If you have no clue what I am talking about, you MUST check out how Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson took Paris Fashion Week by storm with their finale walk during the Maison Valentino show to promote the upcoming movie Zoolander 2! I never saw the first one (maybe I should get on that) but Ben was actually wearing some florals 😉 So he was my style inspiration for this post haha 😛So after going through these photos I noticed I was standing in front of a smiley face…Say Cheese 🙂 This look is perfect for spring…florals and booties? YES! It’s even great to wear to the office. I love a great A-Line skirt because to be quite honest I find them flattering on almost every figure…if you aren’t one for color, opting for a gray floral print is ideal because it’s a feminine print without being ‘too much’. I paired the skirt with a simple gray cowl neck top, black open toe booties (a great winter to spring transition shoe) + my Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mab tote.
I tend to wear the same few watches everyday, but for this outfit I decided to take my silver Michael Kors watch out of retirement! This was one of my first nice watches I ever got and it was a birthday gift from my parents a few years ago…I feel like this watch is a right of passage…at least on Long Island. My sister got this watch in gold and I have run into countless tweens, teens and young ladies all rocking this Michael Kors staple and I don’t blame them…it’s a fantastic watch!
On a side note today is going to be a busy day for me at work and I am trying to recuperate after being sick yesterday…I felt dizzy, nauseous and needed a break…sometimes commuting and a hectic schedule gets to ya so some much needed R+R was needed along with reruns of Real Housewives and cuddling with Charlie <3 That’ll make everything better!
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
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.
I am going to be completely honest…I never was one for the whole ‘preppy‘ look. I attempted the whole Lacoste phase when I was middle school and wasn’t sure i could truly pull off a polo, but when I saw gals rocking a chambray button down under a sweater I said to myself ‘Let’s give it a shot‘ and I am kinda glad I did 😉
Because the whole denim and sweater look wasn’t preppy enough, I had to wear white jeans (yes I LOVE white jeans year round cc: ‘Feels Like Winter‘), add black patent leather flats and of course…a dash of neon (my satchel is available in my Poshmark closet here). Let’s break it down…this black + white striped sweater has become a favorite of mine (stay tuned to see how else I style it). It’s warm, cozy and black and white stripes are just begging to be paired with white jeans…right? 😉
I’m thinking I have to bring these white jeans with me to Florida in a few days and maybe this chambray button down too (ugh I am creating outfits in my head as I am typing #BloggerProblems)
