Nautical in the Snow

Happy Monday! It has been a snowy past couple of days, but I got to spend my Saturday having a post-holiday brunch (all day) with my friends.

Blouse: Ann Taylor | Necklace: Kohls | Cardigan: American Eagle | Watch: Urban Outfitters

Jeans: GAP | Anchor Bracelet: Kiel James Patrick | Belt: J. Crew | Boots: Hunter

I miss the colors of Spring, so I added a pop of mint in my cardigan and accessories along with this nautical button up blouse. I love this top because it is versatile to layer for winter, or wear on its own for warmer weather. To tackle the snow, I wore my Hunter boots which are my go-to for the winter months.

I hope you are keeping warm in this snowy weather! I know I can already use a beach vacation.

Cats and Cardigans

So maybe cats and cardigans aren't a classic combo, but I do love pairing gold and navy blue together in an outfit. I am not a Michigan fan (Go Bucks!), but I like the look of this contrasting color combination.

I love the adorable cat motif on this bowed blouse. This golden yellow cardigan is from Banana Republic and my cat shirt is from Old Navy. Adding a vibrant color to an outfit makes this gloomy winter weather less depressing.

To pick up the gold detailing on the cardigan, I wore my Kate Spade watch and blue jeweled bracelet from The Limited.

I added accents of light blue by wearing this Kate Spade Capricorn charm, and Alex & Ani beaded bracelet.

My Hunter Boots are a winter staple, and I love how this navy blue pair are both practical and stylish for the winter months.

I hope you are staying warm wherever you are! I am appreciating any day that is over 30 degrees and not snowing. Can spring time be here already?

Dressing up a Lilly Pulitzer Puffer Vest

Happy Monday! It has been awhile since I have posted, but I have done my best to avoid leaving the house with these arctic temperatures. I just settled back into my apartment, and am getting back into the swing of things for my LAST SEMESTER EVER.

My Birthday was a week ago, which also happened to be the day of the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale. I stopped by my local Lilly store, and fell in love with the Allie Packable Puffer Vest.

I have been looking for another puffer vest, and this one is super soft and warm, but also stylish with the gold detailing and colorful print on the inside.

I wore this Juicy Couture chiffon cream button down with gold details to mimic the detailing in the vest. I also paired it with my gold and pave link bracelet from Ann Taylor.

You can't have enough boots, and these cognac colored booties are from Pac Sun. These boots were a steal because the store had a Buy One Get One Free, so I purchased a cardigan and these boots for under $50. I included a pop of color by wearing these fun Betsey Johnson socks underneath.

I wore this simple black gumdrop necklace from Kate Spade which has easily become a staple accessory in my wardrobe for how versatile it is.

Puffer vest are great for winter because you can dress them up for a night out, or dress them down to stay warm when running errands. I hope you are all staying warm, and I am looking forward to shooting more looks (hopefully outside!)

Until next time,

Polka Dots for the Art Museum

Happy New Year!

At the end of 2014, Mike and I made a list of things we wanted to do in the upcoming year. We both wanted to check out the Cleveland Museum of Art since he had never been, and I hadn't been since they had completed renovations.

I wore this comfortable yet chic monochromatic outfit. Oversized cardigans and this fun polka dot circle scarf are some of my favorite pieces for winter.

Glasses: Warby Parker

Cardigan: Pacsun

Scarf: Charming Charlie

Tote: Longchamp

This textured laser-cut shirt is from Loft. I love the detailing, and it can be easily transitioned into spring and summer.

I wore a pop of blue in my bracelets. I love stacking a variety of different styles.

Watch: Kate Spade

These black velour pants are from Francesca's Collections and were on sale for $10! I also wore my black booties from Gap.

What's on your bucket list for 2015?

CHRISTMAS OUTFIT OF THE DAY

Merry Christmas! I can't believe it is already that time of year. Unfortunately it isn't a white one, but nonetheless it is still festive.

Today I wore this new navy and white polka dot sweater from The Limited. It is currently 60% off, and you can purchase it by clicking here!

I wore a red and navy gingham button down underneath with gold sequins on the collar. This shirt is from Target, and has a touch of sparkle that is necessary for Christmas.

My new favorite anchor belt ties in the Christmas red, and gives a nautical vibe to the outfit (which I love). This was a rare final sale find from The Limited.

My capricorn charm bracelet is from Kate Spade, and my pyramid bracelet is an older find from Aeropostale.

I finished this look off with some nude heels from Guess.

I hope you all have a great day celebrating with your family and friends!

Best,

Layering Patterns With a Fur Vest

I love the layered look, especially when it is cold outside. It gives an excuse to mix and match patterns and different materials to create a unique outfit.
