March is finally here and with that Spring inches closer and closer. Unfortunately, if you live in the North Eastern part of the country, then it still feels and looks very much like Winter. Here in PA, we just has 3 more inches of snow fall on Sunday. That California vacation is looking pretty nice right about now! To inject some Spring time into my look, I went with pink and peach accessories and a fancy floral jean from LC Lauren Conrad. Floral prints always bring a smile to my face and really help brighten up the Winter season. Stay warm and just think, only a few more weeks until Spring!

Blush and Blue

Blush and Blue

My two absolute favorite colors to pair together are blush and blue, or any form of them in pinks, blues, mints, you name it. I'm sure you've noticed that already! I also really love pairing a nice shirt underneath my sweaters for a preppy feeling and a little pop of color. This is one of my favorite blazers I own because it fits so perfectly and has sequins, which make everything better in my opinion. The colors play so well off of one another and the white sweater balances them out, plus keeps me warm in these frigid temperatures! I usually opt for flats or heels, choosing these tan booties instead, to keep a casual feel to the outfit with just a bit of "dressed up-ness," namely the blazer. Almost all of these pieces are from last season and are no longer available, but similar styles to shop are listed below. I know people usually love to shop a specific look, but I have so many pieces that sometimes an outfit becomes more of an inspirational look so to say.

Vintage Leopard

Stylishly Staying Warm

I must say, it has been quite cold here in the North East lately. Most days lately have reached below zero. I am so ready for Spring to get here! Until then, it's time to bundle up and try to stay warm. The leopard coat is vintage that my aunt found in Washington DC. It's from around the 1960s era, which only makes me love it even more! The leggings are Target and the black booties are Rock & Republic for Kohls. I usually do not wear items that have an "edgy" feel to them, but these were too cool to pass up and look great paired with anything black. The gloves come from Banana Republic Factory Store, and the earrings are replica Jackie Kennedy's, listed below. The glittery scarf from Mark does not provide any kind of warmth, but it is so gorgeous and instantly perks up any outfit. The black quilted bag, also from Mark, is great for being so versatile and just big enough to fit all of the essentials. Below are the exact earrings and similar items to replicate this look.

Cinderella

LC Lauren Conrad for Disney

It's no secret how much I love tulle and how much I shop the LC Lauren Conrad line at Kohls. Also, Disney. I need not get into my absolute love and devotion for Disney, but lets just say it has been there since I was a baby. I was absolutely thrilled to hear that LC was doing a special line for the Disney release of the live action film Cinderella. So far there are 10 pieces total and all have a whimisical feel to them. My favorite are the tulle skirts. How absolutely divine they are! They fit perfectly and have lots of puff to them. Here, I am wearing the Cindyhood blue skirt that features the famous castle on it. Along with Cindyhood below is Ballad Blue, which is a tiny bit darker and is a solid color. I cannot wait for the rest of the line to come out. Until then, I'll be styling my skirts and having a fabulous twirl worthy day!

I can hardly wait! The line is available on February 22nd.

Anything But Basic

Date Night

Happy Thursday everyone! The weekend is almost here and I know that makes me one happy girl. With that comes date night and the ever challenging question of what to wear? I was feeling a vintage mood, honestly when am I not??, and decided on this beautiful tulle dress from Target from a few seasons ago. Since the temperatures can dip quite low in the winter, I wanted to layer a shirt underneath and went with a polka dot pattern from LC Lauren Conrad. To kick it up a notch, I added this beautiful fascinator from Modcloth, pictured below, and my favorite leopard heels from Nine West, also pictured below. To complete the look, layers upon layers of pearls. The earrings are replica of Jackie Kennedy'sand pictured below.

Backpack/Bucket Bag

Over sized Scarf

Accessories have always been a favorite of mine. They can make a casula outfit look elegant and vise versa. I have absolutely fallen in love with my Melie Bianco bag (brown and black still avaliable) that I got in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. It is actually a backpack bag with an extra strap usedto convert it, but I always carry mine as if it were a bucket bag with the single strap. It's large enough to carry all of my essential items, but not too big that it overwhelms. Also, this over sized plaid scarf from Target (multi-color still avaliable) keeps me snuggly warm during these freezing temperatures in Northeastern Pennsylvannia. What's not to love?

Pretty Pink

Valentine's Day Dress

Happy Friday everyone! The weekend is almost here and with that means Valentine's Day is one more day away! I simply cannot wait and I'm also so excited to share some big news with you on the day devoted to love. I've had some much fun getting these outfits together this past week. The inspiration for this outfit came from Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast At Tiffany's. In the scene where she comes home from a party, she's wearing a bright pink dress with a big bow and sparkling pink tierra. This Jennifer Lopez for Kohls dress with tiny bows at the waist instantly reminded me of the dress, mostly because of the standout color. Since the weather is on the freezing side in my area, I added a soft pink chiffon blouse underneath from Modcloth. The blush sequined purse from Target really adds a celebratory feeling and compliments the dress rather nicely. I wanted to pile my hair into a high bun and added a dainty LC Lauren Conrad pin for a simple touch.

Decorate Yourself

Valentine's Day Jewels

I gathered some of the jewelry that I wore in my past two posts for Valentine's Day outfits, Soft Romantic Colors and A Pop of Red. The rose gold bow ring and the pearl necklace were Christmas presents from Justin this past Christmas 2014. He knows me quite well! I love how pearls elevate even the simplest of outfits and truly go with everything. Rose gold has been a new favorite of mine and of course I'm such a sucker for anything with bows. The rest of the jewels are inspired by pretty soft pinks, some red, and hearts to go with the lovely romantic theme.

Pop of Red

Valentine's Day Outfit

Happy Wednesday everyone! For this Valentine's inspired outfit I wanted something a little more relaxed, but still stylish and of course that pop of red. The blouse, with its beautiful tie bow neck, is from Modcloth and the ankle jeans from LC Lauren Conrad. Ankle jeans are great for anyone who is vertically challenged like me. I'm only 5ft 2in and find that most jeans are too long for me. Anything titled "short" or "ankle" fit usually work best. The red heels from Connie and pretty pink clutch round out the outfit. Notice the chocolate covered caramel apple? A great treat for anyone on Valentine's Day. Absolutely delicious. Shop similar styles below. The Second pair are jeans are the exact match.

Valentine's Day Inspiration

Valentine's Day is right around the corner and I could not be any happier! All this week I'll be getting ready for the big day, plus I have a big announcement that I cannot wait to share with everyone. It's one of those holidays that makes you appreciate the one's you love and show them that you care. I love to wear soft pinks or bright reds mixed with gold or whites for any Valentine's celebrations. For this look I wanted something very soft and romantic. I went with an LC Lauren Conrad pink chiffon blouse with a rhinestone peter pan collar and an LC creamy white tulle maxi skirt. Gold sequin heels from Enzo Angioloni and a vintage beaded clutch with roses on it finish off the look. Shop similar styles below.

Spring Trends

2015

Sure, some of us are still in the dead of Winter (me included), but why not start thinking about the beautiful Spring season that awaits? Spring trends have already started popping up and I have been searching around for some nice additions to my wardrobe. Spring has always been my favorite season to buy for. There's something about the fresh renewal and bloom going on all round you that makes life feel good. Then again, it could be the sunshine and warmer weather too! Below are some of the top trends for Spring 2015.

Pleats:

Pleats always seem to be in style no matter what year or season it is. It's a style I simply adore and have plenty of in my closet. Pleats feel so feminine to flutter around in.

Blush and Lace:

It's no secret how much I love blush colored outfits, especially ones made out of lace. The romantic quality of lace really has it as a year round fabric, but especially for Spring with its delicate and feminine nature. Equally so, blush seems to be a color worn more throughout the year where as once it was only seen in Spring. Basically put, you can never go wrong with this pale pink color.

A Vivid Trench:

There's nothing like breaking out of the winter doldrums with a bright colored coat to liven up the Spring season ahead. The trench is the perfect Spring accessory by being light enough for the warmer afternoons, but still just enough to keep you warm when the temperatures dip in the morning and evening hours.

Ice Blue:

Blue has always been a favorite color of mine and this Spring its icy hue is taking center stage. Pair with with some silver metallic accessory's to keep with the cool feeling. 

Winter Coats

Stylishly Staying Warm

One of the most important parts of a winter wardrobe is the coat you wear. When trying to stay warm in the chilly temperatures outside, all people will see you in is your coat. I've acquired a few different ones over the years and wanted to share some of them here.

To start with is my camel coat from Victoria's Secret. It seamlessly goes with everything because of its neutral color and fabulously cinches in the waist with its belt. It's my favorite coat by far and the one I wear the most.  The next one is my mother's white Icelandic wool coat that comes with a hood, gloves, and scarf. It's a long coat reaching down to my ankles and probably the warmest coat I've ever worn. The Polar Vortex has nothing on me while I'm snuggled in this beautiful coat. Next are for when the temperatures are a bit warmer and you can get away with just a sweatshirt and vest. The blue vest, with an interior sweater liner, is from Sarah Jessica Parker's old line Bitten for Steve and Berry's. Remember that store?! The blue puffer vest lends a chic way to stay warm while foregoing a heavy jacket. My next style, also from SJP's Bitten line, is a black and white hounds tooth coat with the perfect pop of red leather gloves. I wear these gloves all the time since they bring such a brilliant color to the wintery white backdrop. My last jacket is from American Eagle and one that I wore mostly in college. It is a blue plaid pea-coat that is perfect for any sporty type of event such as hiking in the woods or cutting down that Christmas tree.

Sparkle and Shine

Celebrate

DSW Sparkle Pump, Old: Similar, H&M Embellished Midi Skirt, Sold Out: Similar, Forever 21 Embellished Gray Tank, Old: Similar, Replica Jackie Kennedy Waterfall Earrings, Exact

When it comes to celebrating I always like a little, or a lot, of sparkle and shine in my ensemble. There is no greater time to shine than at New Years Eve. The holiday practically begs for everyone to dazzle their brightest. While this look is every bit of a party outfit, it is still comfy with the soft jersey tank and midi length skirt, great for keeping those legs a little warmer during these bitter cold days.

Winter White

Creamy

Ah winter white, one of my most favorite colors. I look forward to this time of year when I can pull out all of my winter white clothing. This beautiful shade has more of a creamy feel to it than stark white does. It seems lately that I've been pairing most of my outfits with red accessories, which since it's the Christmas season, seems quite appropriate. No other color gives that "pop" sensation like red does. Also, the LC Lauren Conrad sweater is so soft and comfortable you cannot help but feel cozy and warm in it.

Blushing Beauty

Oxford Cutie

Pink Sheath Dress, Jennifer Lopzes: Exact, Pink & White Oxford Shoes, Modcloth: Similar, Pink Clutch, Target: Similar

I was very excited to receive this pink sheath dress from Jennifer Lopez's collection at Kohls. The ever so subtle shimmer means its perfect for a night out or a festive holiday party. While red, green, gold, and silver are the popular colors for the season, why not stand out in a pretty feminine shade of pink? Amp up the cool girl vibe by swapping out pumps for some oxford flats. Your feet will thank you by the end of the evening. A mid sized clutch allows you to store all of your essentials while still being sleek and chic.

All That Glitters...

Is Gold

Gold Dress, Modcloth: Exact, Red Suede Heels, DSW: Similar, Gold Clutch, Target: Similar

There's nothing like a gold party dress during the holidays. Not only is this great for Christmas, but also for ringing in the New Year. I gravitate toward anything that glistens, shines and gives off the ever so subtle sparkle. To me, that sparkle means its a time to celebrate and party with friends and family. The gold sequins of this dress twinkle to give off the most festive feeling. With gold, I like to keep things either monochromatic or to inject some pops of color in, this time with red. The holiday season gives the perfect excuse to get all dolled up, especially with some sparkle!
