Weekend Florals

 Dress c/o Tulle, Belt Vintage, Purse Tory Burch, Heels from random boutique in Milan, Necklace c/o Stella & Dot 

It warmed up a bit this past weekend and I threw on this easy
floral dress for brunch. I love simple dresses that work for
multiple occasions. 

Doesn't this dress just feel like a Sunday brunch dress?!
I brought out my favorite Tory Burch bag that I received as a gift
last Christmas. The color is so versatile and will definitely be my
bag of choice for Fall.

A Staple Piece

Blazer J. Crew, Jumper c/o BCBGeneration, Booties ASOS (from last summer, similar style here), Necklaces c/o Stella & Dot (here and here), Bag Tory Burch

One of the most frequent questions I get asked is, "What are the

staple items in your wardrobe?" While this can vary throughout each season,

one thing that remains constant is a good blazer.

The great thing about a blazer is that you can throw it over practically anything

and instantly make it look more polished. Take, for example, this summer romper. 

The back is completely open (which I love!), it's short and has a floral pattern.

When I put my navy blazer over it, it turns from a bohemian laid-back look to one more 

suited for work/meetings/everyday/etc. 

Happy Friday Everyone!

In the Sun

Blazer H&M, Top Zara, Jeans Quicksilver, Belt UO, Bag Tory Burch, Sunnies Ray Ban, Oxfords Zara, Necklace c/o Jennifer Zeuner

Lately I have been so busy which has resulted in more practical outfits for running around in. I told you guys that these oxfords get a lot of attention in my wardrobe! They have been seen in at least my last three posts. 

I'm really hoping the rain stops. Nothing sounds more amazing than taking a nap in the sun and possibly having a pick-nick this weekend. Who's in?

P.S. Do you like my necklace? It's the Gold Initial Pendant by Jennifer Zeuner AND I might or might not be giving one away on Monday- Stay tuned ;)

Candy Colored

Dress c/o Queen's Wardrobe, Leather Jacket H&M, Heels c/o Lulu's, Purse Tory Burch, Earrings Kate Spade, Lipstick Kate Spade in Pop Art Pink

As you can tell, I am fully embracing the warm weather that graced us with it's presence. I originally wanted to pair these heels with a simple white dress, but when I got this mint colored mini in the mail I changed my mind. It was a little risky and bold, but I love the complete contrast of all the different colors (the shoes have 3 colors on them!- pink, orange & red). What are you guys most excited about for spring?
It would also mean a lot if you could take the time to head over here to vote for me! Thanks :)

Polka Dot/Polka Dot

Trench Zara, Blouse Tobi (also love this one), Skirt Random Boutique, Belt Forever21, Pumps Steve Madden, Watch Michael Kors, Aviators Ray Ban, Purse Tory Burch, Bracelet Gift from my Sister

I'm currently in San Diego with two of my best friends enjoying the few days of Spring Break we get. Thomas and I took these photos last week when the weather was warm and almost Spring like. I love the look of polka dot on polka dot. What prints are you mixing?

Floral Trousers

Jacket Anthropologie, Blouse Zara, Pants Anthropologie, Pumps Jessica Simpson, Purse Tory Burch, Aviators Ray Ban, Lipstick YSL

I have been a huge fan of the floral pant trend that has been popping up everywhere and I finally gave in when I spotted these trousers at Anthropologie. I absolutely love these pants and also the exact same pair in red (they are so soft and comfy!). I decided to tone down the intense floral pattern with a few shades of neutral colors and bright pink lip. Are you a fan of the floral print trend?

Mixing Prints

Trench Zara, Blouse Old Navy, Trousers TopShop, Pumps Zara, Purse Tory Burch, Scarf LYLIF, Watch Michael Kors, Bracelets c/o Bfrend, Nail Polish Butter London "Blagger"

I finally got these trousers in the mail after ordering them almost a month ago. I thought it would be fun to mix the polka dot with this bird printed blouse from Old Navy. The key for mixing prints is pairing like colors. I love how these two prints end up complimenting each other!

Simple Pairings

Leather Jacket Kenna T (old from Nordstrom, similar style here), Top J. Crew, Skirt Belt & Tights Forever21, Pumps Zara, Purse Tory Burch, Sunnies Elizabeth and James

Starting my week off with a simple outfit. I feel like this is my go-to look: skirt, tights, button up and blazer or jacket. It works for both my internship and school so I don't have to worry about changing.

Comfy Casual

Top Michael Stars, Vest Free People (old), Jeans J Brand, Booties Asos, Beanie Forever21, Purse Tory Burch, Necklace Madewell, Bracelets Bfrend, Oia Jules, Stella & Dot, Watch Michael Kors

This week went by very slow and I'm glad the weekend is here. The gloomy weather has me wanting to stay in bed all day and cuddle up with some hot chai tea. I've been wearing much more casual outfits lately filled with jeans and knits. I know some of you were asking me what my more causal outfit looks are, so I hope the last few posts were helpful. 

If you follow me on Twitter, then you probably saw my post about getting my hair done next week! I'm getting rid of the ombre and I'm not sure what I'm going to do next. I want something natural and simple. I just really don't want a hair color that is "too trendy" for our wedding like ombre. 

Happy Weekend!

Casual Blazer

Blazer J. Crew, Jeans J Brand, T-Shirt Stylemint, Scarf Forever21, Oxfords Zara, Watch Michael Kors, Glasses Ray Ban, Purse Tory Burch 

I opted for a comfy outfit for a full day of walking around SF completing our wedding registries. Luckily, Thomas and I have very similar tastes so it was pretty easy to agree on everything...there is just so much stuff! It's easy to get overwhelmed. 

Thomas's parents got me this J. Crew blazer for Christmas. It's the perfect navy blazer and I absolutely love the gold detailing in it.

Faux Fur Leopard

Jacket Sisters Outerwear (similar style here), Blouse Madewell, Jeans 7 for All Mankind, Booties Modern Vintage, Watch Michael Kors, Bracelet Stella & Dot, Bag Tory Burch, Sunnies Elizabeth & James

What better way to ring in the new year than with a faux fur leopard jacket! Thomas got me this one last Christmas from a boutique in San Francisco called Toss. I fell in love with it because its not too "poofy". I paired it with my wax-coated skinny jeans and new sunnies for an edgy-er look.

Happy New Year Everyone!

I hope you all had a great night celebrating :)

2011 was definitely a great year for me. I think the two best things that came out of this year were starting my blog back in April and getting engaged! It has been such a thrill to see my blog grow, connect with other bloggers and get such great feedback and encouragement from my readers. Thank you so much for all of you who read/follow my blog! I truly appreciate your support.

While 2011 was amazing, I am extremely excited for this new year. I will be passing another milestone, graduating from college in May. I'll also be moving to San Francisco with my fiancé & getting married in August! I think it truly will be the best year yet.
