Wild Thing

 

I've missed using animal print in my wardrobing this winter. I love how leopard, cheetah, and zebra striped scarves and clothing can really liven up an outfit or look. Not to mention how it gets me excited and feeling a little on the wild side of things. I hate how winter months not only make me feel lazy but also play it safe with my outfits and styling cause it's too cold to take risks. It's much easier to just throw on a sweater and leggings and be done with it. I'm committing to getting back to pushing myself outside of the box with my styling ideas. Especially with all this fashion week inspiration from London and Milan getting me excited for next AW15. 

Layer Up

 

 

I cannot stand when it is so cold out you have to wear at least five layers to feel semi comfortable anywhere. I am officially over winter and ready for spring time to come. I cannot wait to break out all my dresses, strappy intimates, and put the boots back in there boxes. I wanted to be comfortable at work but still put together wearing so many layers. I played with different button ups under this Free People sweater and really liked the way this blouse laid underneath it. It's hard to not get too bulky of a combination when wearing heavy layers on such a petite frame but I think I finally found a nice balance. The skirt is from American Apparel a great basic with the Frye Patty bootie.

Feelin' Flirty

 

 

 

 

Whether it is with my outfits or personality in general the month of February does have strange way of putting love in the air more than others. It could also be due to some of the coldest temperatures of the year we are experiencing but I just want to snuggle up under the covers with someone and never get out. Winter blues have definitely set in I am craving a tropical get away somewhere, anywhere warmer than PA. This look is a great work and go out for a couple drinks with the girls after, the faux leather pleated skirt adds the flirty-ness I was talking about. Especially with the compliment of lace on the sweater details.

Ready For Your Love

 

 

This was my Valentines day work outfit something simple and sweet. I was obsessed with this poncho as soon as I saw it in our Topshop department at Nordstrom but wasn't ready to commit when it wasn't on sale. As soon as it got a mark down I snagged it up. It feels like you are wearing a blanket and a stylish one at that. With it being a one size fits all I decided to give myself a little extra height with my Stuart Weitzman boots. Of course a little red lip action had to come out too.

NYFW Jealousy

 

 

Starting off the week with a few images I got from my Instagram news feed of some amazing New York City Fashion Week shots. I so wish I could be there, well actually with the subzero temperatures this past weekend I take that back. Scrolling through pictures from the comfort of my cozy bed has been quite wonderful. Above you can see who I follow on Instagram for fashion ideas. Happy Tuesday!
