Happy Friday Fashionistas! In addition to my love for fashion I have a slight obsession with all things colorful and ‘pretty’…one of them being cute stationary and writing materials. Nothing is cuter than jotting down notes and ‘Thank You’s’ with come brightly colored cards and notebooks! I love these items I spotted at Target (always on the ball <3) and I put together some of my favorites to share with you 🙂

Girly Girl…
What a weekend…now it’s time for those dreaded Monday blue’s…however I’m trying to brighten up this Monday with a little blogging because come on…when doesn’t a style post cheer you up? 🙂
I was so excited to style this South Parade top that I got while attending the Dietch PR Fall / Winter 2014 Press Preview in NYC a week ago! It’s super soft, comfortable and of course…stylish! You can dress it up, dress it down or in my case sass it up with some fun pumps and polka dots!
From Work To Play!
Finally some warmer weather has hit NYC! It may not be for long, but while it’s here I want to embrace finally being able to wear a skirt without totally freezing my butt off! This outfit is a mix of old and new.
One of my favorite accessories in this outfit is my scarf. I got it on clearance at H&M I’d say a good 3-4 years ago and it felt like a blast from the past when I decided to pair it with this outfit. I love the print of the scarf because it reminds me of something Dolce and Gabbana put out a few years ago…I was going for the whole ‘Look For Less’ thing when I purchased it haha! Sometimes a unique accessory is all an outfit needs to look polished and put together!
This look can transition from day to night and from work to play. For the office, remove the leather jacket and bam cute and stylish outfit to wear to work. Add the leather jacket, and it’s the perfect outfit for Happy Hour or a Girls Night Out! To make the look cute, sexy and professional I added these fabulous Anne Klein pumps I scored at Burlington Coat Factory for a whopping $20…yes this was a steal I was beyond thrilled about!
I love this look because it’s easy and flattering…who doesn’t love showing some leg and even better who doesn’t feel like a total bad ass rocking a leather jacket?! I sure do 😉

Chambray On My Mind
Now yes ladies, I’m totally going to admit, while this outfit is super cute and comfortable…I’m definitely not rocking it today as my ‘OOTD’…it’s in the teens in NYC! Can spring please come already?!
A fashion trend that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon is chambray. What I love about this shirt and chambray in general is that it can be dressed up or down. For a casual weekend look, pair this chambray top with leggings and some boots or even Converse. For a dressed up look, just use my outfit as inspiration! I have a thing for skirts (what girl doesn’t like to show a little leg 😉 ), in addition I have a thing for mixing and matching different materials. This printed skirt may have a different shade of blue than the chambray top, but I am a firm believer that fashion and personal style is about wearing what works for you!
I scored this top at Nordstrom Rack…safe to say it may not be there now, but check out my shopping list below for a similar top you can score online. The skirt is from Nordstrom, boots from H&M and the bag is Gucci (which I happened to borrow from my mom…why buy my own when my mom has enough style for the both of us 😉 )!

Coral Crush!
For once this season, my outfit on the blog also happens to be my outfit of the day! There’s noting better than bundling up in a cozy sweater on a frigid and snowy day like today in NYC. After an exhausting weekend consisting of some R&R, a girls night out and waiting on line for 3 hours to meet my idol Sarah Jessica Parker (don’t worry a blog post will be coming soon!), this Monday morning is definitely giving me the blue’s.
So instead of mourning this Monday in traditional black, I opted for this cute coral oversized sweater scored on clearance at Nordstrom, olive green Abercrombie pants (which are super comfortable by the way!), quilted white puffer vest from Old Navy..for that extra layer of warmth, black lace up Old Navy booties and a plain leather bag from Urban Outfitters. This outfit is great for work or play and will keep you cozy and warm all day long 🙂
There’s nothing better than a Starbucks green tea, a warm sweater and some blogging to start a Monday off on the right track!
