Nautical
This was one of my most favorite outfits that I wore on the trip. I had envisioned the nautical look and then hunted down the perfect pieces to create it. After staying with our friends over night, we traveled down the Pacific Coast Highway and eventually reached San Diego. This was our first day actually being in San Diego and we spent it on Coronado Island, my new paradise. We rode bikes around the island and watched the sunset on the beach. All of these pieces fit so perfectly together and I absolutely adore anything that has a nautical theme to it. I also love how all of these pieces can be worn with different outfits to create a completely new look.

Happy Monday. Today is an exciting post since it starts my vacation outfits, but also because my sweet husband is making an appearance! Justin really wanted to have a California feel for this trip and bought so many new clothes for it. I was so proud of him! I wanted to have a beachy relaxed feel to most of my outfits since I was traveling pregnant and did not know if I would suddenly get bigger or stay relatively the same size. We started the day off in Santa Monica and then traveled up to L.A. to see the Hollywood sign and visit Grauman's Chinese Theater. It was truly a dream come true for me seeing as how I adore classic Hollywood and so many artifacts still remain from those days. I was seeing stars in my eyes. Also note the tiniest bit of a baby bump showing. We went on this trip specifically as a baby moon.

Lady In Red
Happy Friday! Another end to the work week and the beginning of a fabulous weekend ahead. The color combination of black, white, and red has always had me swooning and feeling very chic. If there is one color that would count as a show stopper, it most certainly would be red. Enjoy your weekend lovelies!

A Little Something Extra
I was getting some house work done and had this outfit on. While I love the soft layering, I wanted to focus on the scarf tied around my bun. I usually like to put my hair up when I'm busy, but thought, why not step it up a notch and add a little something extra? The scarf belonged to my mom and has the prettiest shades of pink, green, and purple in it. This elevated my bun and proved that adding a little something can completely change a look. Hope everyone is having a lovely Tuesday!

Happy Monday all! I wanted something bright, happy, and to have a Spring like feel for this Monday morning. Nothing like a little inspiration to think Spring and get in the mood, even if the weather is not cooperating. Obviously I have a thing for tulle skirts and twirling in them. They always feel so beautiful and whimsical, which is why I adore them so. This peach one from Modcloth was featured back in the Fall in a Lady Like outfit that I love so much. Two different styles for such a pretty skirt.

Vintage Feel
Happy Friday all! I hope everyone has had a good week and is looking forward to the weekend ahead. I know I sure am. Currently, Justin and I are in California enjoying some much needed sunshine and warmer weather, not to mention some rest and relaxation. This outfit puts the biggest smile on my face and makes my hurt burst with happiness. I love the navy and yellow mixed together along with that adorable peter pan collar. The sweater, skirt, and bag are all from Modcloth, but currently sold out. Everything feels oh so very vintage, the hat actually is, which only makes me fall even more in love with this. I really wanted an outfit that popped and reminded me of sunshine filled days. Enjoy your weekend love bugs <3

Happy Thursday! Almost to the weekend. Whew, was it me or did this week just fly by? This look is all about soft pretty blues, mints, and a hint of rose gold. These loafers from Forever 21 are so lovely. I absolutely adore them. If you do want to purchase these, I would suggest going down 1/2 a size for a good fit. The blue and white blazer feels so fresh and summery, just what I need to get me out of the winter dull drums. The blazer is available online, but only in plus-sizes. I purchased this from an actual Target store.

What's black and white and red all over? This color combination is one of my favorites and always looks so chic and classy to me. The black, white, and red colors blend so nicely together and create the perfect palette for any outfit . These checkered pants from Banana Republic last season, really stand out and were the starting point for creating this look. Let's not forget these adorable heels with a bow on them! I will buy anything with a bow on it, I love that little detail so much. Hope everyone is having a good start to their week!

Florals
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!

Happy Friday everyone! I'm so excited for this weekend to start. I really need to start preparing for our California vacation coming up on Wednesday. A daunting task to pack for almost two weeks! I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! Stay sparkly lovelies!
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.

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.

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!

Light Blue Hues
Happy Friday everyone. Lately I've been craving some light blue hues for Spring and beyond. Here are some lovely inspiring pieces that are currently available and everything is under $100. Notice the Disney Cinderella shirt? Lauren Conrad is coming out with a Disney inspired line for Kohls, along with her LC Lauren Conrad line, for the upcoming live action movie Cinderella. I can hardly wait! The line is available on February 22nd.

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?

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.
