It's the most wonderful time of the year when it comes to styling your daily looks and the reasons why are nearly never-ending.  From the colors and the textures to the layers and gorgeous fabrics, autumn truly has something for everyone to fall for.  

Today I've put together two classic yet updated looks that incorporate several similar pieces in two rather different ways.  One being quite smart/casual while the other is giving me some great off-duty vibes. 

Let's start with the office appropriate look that could be worn into work, for a meeting or in a low-key office environment.  These trousers are the main reason why.  Easy fitting and high-waisted, they make for the perfect complement to this jumper and its soft muted tones and touchable fabric.  I love the bit of a mock neckline that effortlessly entertains those gorgeous gold necklaces that are so wearable come fall.  Top it with a houndstooth blazer, some smart loafers, this classic bag and you are completely office appropriate.

But, once the weekend rolls around you'll want to reach for something a bit for relaxed and refreshing.  And that can be easily accomplished but switching out your trousers for a pair of wideleg denim, some autumn-ready Birkenstocks and this handbag to round out the look. 

Simple switch outs like these are what make pieces ultra-wearable and give you that much more mileage out of your wardrobe.  What could be better?  

These items are linked in the thumbnails below if you'd like to shop them and add some versatility to what you already own.  I hope I've left you inspired to wear it two ways and style your autumn for in ways that work for you.  Enjoy!

Well hello and happy summer! I hope you are all enjoy this oh-so-lovely time of the year.  I for one can say that I am certainly soaking up all the relaxing moments while enjoying some warm weather playtime here and there. 

 Today's pieces seen here are all completely summer ready and some of which I've been wearing quite a lot lately. They're perfect for whatever you may being enjoying at the minute.  Naturally, I am offering them up in a variety of neutrons which I feel work just so well towards putting together a bunch of different looks for the season.

This dress is a great place to start as it's just such lovely piece that is so easy to wear and really just what you might be reaching for at the moment. I love the bit of a ruffled neck line that you see here and the delicate spaghetti straps that allow it to have its moment to shine.  As you see they don't detract at all from the gorgeous neckline and really just let that be the star of the show.  Maybe a small necklace would be nice to wear with it but you really don't need all that much with this one.  Like so many of the pieces I share with you here, this one can be dressed up or down with some little low heels like this pair here or with just a flat strappy sandals if you are only going to be running around town that day.

Of course it wouldn't be a summer capsule wardrobe without a pair of white trousers. This particular pair is just so gorgeous as it works effortlessly with a one shoulder top here as well as with a nice linen shirt on those days when it's a bit cooler.  And I never underestimate how much a great pair of pants like this one can do for your wardrobe.

Another item I'm really loving right now is the waistcoat.  I'm happy to say that you can find quite a few of these out at retail as they are such an easy piece to again go dressy or casual with during summer. This one would look quite nice paired with these satin shorts and an understated sandal.  Moving into August next month, I plan to get a lot of wear out of my new Nantucket bag.  I treated myself to the one from Dragon Diffusion, however, there are quite a few really good dupes out there which I've linked for you below.  

I have to say, with a number of really good choices out there, I am still completely enjoying parts of my summer wardrobe. And that's saying a lot as I am truly an autumn girl when it comes to style.  But there's plenty of time to talk about the next season once it gets here. I hope you are all enjoying this gorgeous July weather and all the fun things that go along with it. Thanks so much for spending a few moments here with me today and happy summer!

We're on the cusp of summer my closet so clearly reflects that.  If you've been following along here then you know by now that my style is reflective two basic elements.  Those being, neutrals and a capsule wardrobe.  I really have to admit that I've never been happier than I am now when it comes to building the looks I want to wear.  And, that's likely because a simple color palette combined with 
really good, well-fitting basics let me put together just so many looks I love.  

Today's look works off the simple concept of denim paired with some high-low pieces that easily elevate as well as relax an outfit with minimal effort.  I love a great pair of high-waisted denim as it always seems to hug the body in all of the most flattering places.  This pair looks quite nice paired with an easy short sleeve blouse, a pair of sandals and a really gorgeous tote.  I'm obsessing over this one at the minute.

And, you can just as easily take the look out in warmer weather by swiping out jeans for a pair of Bermuda shorts in a nice camel color for summer.  Trainers are always an easy option to dress a look down a bit or take the same pieces out in the evening along with some scrappy sandals and small clutch.

Gold earrings and a gorgeous pair of sunnies are two items can can't seem to go without.  This pair is stunning with nearly everything you might be wearing this season.  And one of my favorite gold jewelry brands has lots of delightful options if you are searching for something similar to these.

I hope these looks and bits of advice inspire you to build a look that is similar and take it with you wherever you are going.  All the pieces mentioned are linked in the thumbnails below.  Please let me know how you like them!

Midweek inspo means a borrowed from the boys look this week.  I find it rather interesting the way my once all girlie, all the time style has evolved into moments that are a bit more sophisticated and inclusive of menswear inspired pieces like these.  

Today's post is the perfect example of what that looks like so let's break it down, shall we?  

To me, a well-fitting pair of trousers is an indespensible component of every closet.  The reasons why are practically as endless the number of ways to wear them.   I happen to love them with trainers, a boxy sweatshirt and a Moto jacket just as much as I do paired with ankle boots, a soft knit sweater and a longline quilted vest.  In fact, I'm really loving the new look of this updated piece being seen nearly everywhere at the minute.

And, I have to say  that I'm still a fan of the lieutenant's cap.  I think it's the perfect unexpected bit of interest when added to this look.  I also love it with moody all black and charcoal looks for autumn and winter. 

Finally, add in some silver and gold bits with your jewelry and this handbag in such a stunning shade as this one and you are completely ready for whatever your day holds. 

Hope this leaves you inspired to try something new.  Have a wonderful day wherever your heart takes you...be well!

Anyone else excited that the weekend is here? TGIF...and it's the second to last "official" Weeknd of summer.  With that said, it's the perfect time to pull out some easy to transition pieces that will work together in gorgeous color ways as well as with other warm weather options.

For me, it's always about the neutrals and my favorites in that category are none other than the nudes.  Personally, I don't think there's anything more beautiful than the way these shades play so effortlessly together.  Here I've pulled some bisque colored nudes alongside bits of blush and ivory create a really soft and feminine look that's perfect for some casual moments that weekends are known for.

This v-neck blouse is so silky and scarf and would equally adore being dressed up or played down.  The button and cuff detailing are nice elements that add a bit of sophisticated style and the rounded hem softens the look making completely versatile for styling.

I'm currently loving all things floaty and these pants are one simple reason.  The elasticated waist is the height of comfort and the slanted pockets and pressed creases give them the look of pulled togetherness.  You can easily pair them with a fine gauge, lightweight sleeveless blouse while it's still warm and later pop on a roomy blazer and this blouse or a chunky cardigan and you're ready for the day.

Gold and blush accessories are the perfect complements to these colors and this bag is well...simply perfect, haha.  The shape, size and color are all exactly what I adore.  It also comes with the option to be monogrammed in a gorgeous shade of gold.  Honestly, it doesn't get any better than this in my eyes, haha.

What pieces are you looking forward to putting together this weekend?  I'd love to hear!  Have a lovely time everyone!

Happy Monday! Hopefully your summer is taking you somewhere filled with possibilities.  I find sightseeing to be such a fun and exciting way to experience the local culture and to get a feel for the native vibe.  And, of course, comfortably chic outfits are my favorite way to dress for it.  

Today's look is built for fun in the sun while experiencing the thrill of being on holiday.  Casual silhouettes and classic color combinations are always great beginnings to any smart look.  Stripes and solids work well together all year round and especially in summer.  This t-shirt looks perfect paired with white denim, blue jeans or a nice pair of Bermuda walking shorts.  

An updated version of the iconic halter top looks so fresh worn with these shorts and a pair of trainers.  Or  with a floaty full length maxi skirt and some sandals (loving this pair).  Add a bit of interest with a floppy straw hat, some gorgeous gold jewelry and a big tote and just like that you're daytime ready for vacay.

A carefully curated closet is worth its weight in gold and these key pieces are just a few of examples of why I think so.  What are some of your favorite ways to see the sights in style?

 While summertime styles are plentiful from brights and white to pretty pastels, there is one color combination that really just works all year round and that is spectator style aka black and white.

There's something so eye-catching about this pairing that I always love no matter the season.  But in the warmer weather, there are several stylish ways to wear it.  So many, in fact that we may need more summer to spend a bit of time with them all, haha.  But really, there are so many ways to get your black and white fix.

This skirt is one of my favorite year round pieces.  During summer, you can easily wear it with a nice white tee, some trainers and a lovely headband like this one.  I also love it with a silk camisole, a pair of sandals and a smart blazer for a dinner date at sunset. 

White denim never gets old and always looks so chic with almost any piece you pair it with.  Here I've gone for a simple striped tank, a classic pair of Birkenstocks, some striking black sunglasses and a summery straw hat for a fun, casual daytime look.

Bits of brown in the form of this gorgeous bag here and some tortoise shell accessories always say summer to me as well and work rather nicely with this basic black and white story.  And with that, the look is complete.  

I love when styling a look is simple and the end result is satisfyingly stylish.  What are your thoughts about this one and some of your favorite ways to style your summer?

Hope you're all having a lovely day.  Thanks for reading!

For most of us I think that summertime dressing is all about the everyday easy.  These pieces here today are all simple wardrobe staples that are going to work effortlessly together to create multiple looks, each one perfect for a summery day.  

Delicate florals are a smart place to start.  The pattern is always appropriate and the looks they create can easily become a bit dressed up or down depending upon the mood of the day.  This lovely little blouse is just right for summer and works with everything from Bermuda shorts and sandals to a blazer and maxi skirt.  

Summer knits are also something I can never get enough of.  Whether it be unpredictable weather patterns or the chill of the air conditioning, I always like opportunity to have a way to add a little light cover if I'm ever needing a bit of warmth.  

Sandals, slides and straw totes are my standbys as you likely know by now, haha.  All neutrals all the time of course as they provide the easiest ways to build a variety of outfits from just a few key pieces.  

These pieces are perfect for right now and what I'll be reaching for all summer long.  If you love them too, I've linked them in the thumbnails below for a closer look.  Enjoy!

TGIF!  Summer weekends always mean subtle shades of white and maybe a splash of cream to create a really lovely, light and seasonal look.  Today's post shows some the easy ways to wear them whether you wish to dress it up or down.

A perfect summer dress is a the one staple every wardrobe absolutely needs in my opinion.  This one is such a good choice.  From the neutral color and flattering fit to the way it works effortlessly for so many occasions this time of year.  I definitely recommend it.

Bermuda shorts are another great piece that you can style in a number of fun ways.  This particular pair has already sold out a couple of times at H&M and I am still waiting to get my hands on them in black and white.  When I do, I plan to put them together with an updated sleeveless sweater like this one here.  I love the mix of textures worn together in a monochromatic look.  

This high-neck eyelet white dress is just so pretty and would be so nice on date night or to a baby shower this month.  I would put it with a pair of nude slides for a casual look or a tan sandal and similar colored handbag to tie the look together.

Some classic gold jewelry, this bag and a stunning watch round out the ways I'll be wearing shades of white this summer.  So simple, so easy and really fresh for the season.  

Thanks for stopping by to share some style and inspo.  Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

It's finally the kickoff to summer and I'm looking forward to everything that means.  Beaches, day trips, parties and extended holidays all lie ahead and require some clever ways to create outfits for each of these events.  

Today's look is one example of a couple ways to wear soft neutrals and easily incorporate them into looks you can wear to any of these places you'll likely be going.

I'm loving this mix of blush and cream.  I think it's such an easy and romantic combination that looks lovely any time, any place.  This simple linen blend romper is a great choice for nearly everyday and so easy to dress up or style down.  I would wear it with a nice pair of nude slides.  This square-toed braided pair is definitely on my radar at the moment.  I lovep this classic straw tote by Loewe paired with it and a very minimalist pair of sunglasses like these you see here.  A smart ivory colored blazer is the perfect top layer with this look and I think it really finishes the outfit off quite nicely.

A pair of tailor-made looking trousers is another closet staple I can't be without and happily you can now buy them to fit perfectly.  This pair from Zara is probably my favorite as they just fit so, so well and are easy and effortless which I love.   You can mix and match your looks with a nice summery top like this one and some classic gold jewelry like this crescent ring.  I wear mine non-stop and think it goes so well with absolutely everything.

And like that a few simple pieces create multiple looks that are perfect for summer.  Yet another lovely reason to enjoy the season.  I hope you have a fun time this weekend wherever it takes you and a relaxing few days off...Enjoy!

Hello everyone and welcome back from the weekend.  I hope you all enjoy a lovely two days off and are ready to begin the week now with a smile.  So I suppose right now, it's all about the dress.  And, of course,  I don't mean the dress in a fussy way as none of us are ever likely to revisit that sort of dressing ever again.  Rather, the dress meaning the easiest, chicest piece that captures all of the classic and timeless elements that all wardrobe staples should really embody.

I went with the black for today's look as I feel it is a welcome change from the barrage of white and cream that we are all about to be seeing from this minute onward.  I do love a lot of white in my spring and summer wardrobe, however, this unexpected diversion is really quite nice.  

There's so much to enjoy about this particular dress that I'm not quite sure where to begin.  The flattering tiered skirting and gorgeous neckline look so very nice together with just the slightest bit of feminine detailing.  It has a very easy fit and could easily be something you style casually or in a more elevated style depending upon where you are going.

I went for a more relaxed look here today by pairing these iconic Hermès sandals with it while lightening the look with a bit of white which I love in the warmer weather.  A straw tote is another item I find myself wearing a lot in spring/summer as it is such a versatile piece that works really well with so many looks right now.

I love my gold jewelry and think that these hoops would pair perfectly with this outfit.  A dark pair of sunglasses keep everything looking a bit mysterious and a delicate hair tie gets your hair to behave on the warmest of days.

Don't forget the indispensable need for a smart blazer to keep you comfortable on those nights when the air may carry a bit of a slight chill.  And there you have it...a perfect way to enjoy the warmer days (and nights) ahead.

I hope you, as always, found something to love here.  In case you have, I've linked all the pieces mentioned in the thumbnails below.  Happy dressing up!

Hello everyone and welcome back from the weekend.  I hope you all enjoy a lovely two days off and are ready to begin the week now with a smile.  So I suppose right now, it's all about the dress.  And, of course,  I don't mean the dress in a fussy way as none of us are ever likely to revisit that sort of dressing ever again.  Rather, the dress meaning the easiest, chicest piece that captures all of the classic and timeless elements that all wardrobe staples should really embody.

I went with the black for today's look as I feel it is a welcome change from the barrage of white and cream that we are all about to be seeing from this minute onward.  I do love a lot of white in my spring and summer wardrobe, however, this unexpected diversion is really quite nice.  

There's so much to enjoy about this particular dress that I'm not quite sure where to begin.  The flattering tiered skirting and gorgeous neckline look so very nice together with just the slightest bit of feminine detailing.  It has a very easy fit and could easily be something you style casually or in a more elevated style depending upon where you are going.

I went for a more relaxed look here today by pairing these iconic Hermès sandals with it while lightening the look with a bit of white which I love in the warmer weather.  A straw tote is another item I find myself wearing a lot in spring/summer as it is such a versatile piece that works really well with so many looks right now.

I love my gold jewelry and think that these hoops would pair perfectly with this outfit.  A dark pair of sunglasses keep everything looking a bit mysterious and a delicate hair tie gets your hair to behave on the warmest of days.

Don't forget the indispensable need for a smart blazer to keep you comfortable on those nights when the air may carry a bit of a slight chill.  And there you have it...a perfect way to enjoy the warmer days (and nights) ahead.

I hope you, as always, found something to love here.  In case you have, I've linked all the pieces mentioned in the thumbnails below.  Happy dressing up!

 Hello and happy Monday! A return from the weekend always calls for a bit of something comforting yet stylish to begin the week in a fresh and open state of mind.  And with warmer weather now approaching, I love reaching for some nice, easy layers that look sort of effortless yet chic and you can easily remove as temperatures take off.  

Midi skirts are really what I find to be an underutilized piece that almost every wardrobe could get a lot of use out of.  I'm not sure why they are under the radar as much as they are but in any case, I happen to love them in bold color-blocked patterns like this one I'm styling here.

The black and cream colors are perfect for anytime of year quite honestly but of course, I'm thinking about styling it for spring right now.  So with that being the goal, a classic white t-shirt goes to work perfectly with this look.  I love it tucked in allowing for the waist to be showen off a bit.  And, if there is still as slight chill in the air, then an oversized denim jacket is the just right complement to the overall look.  I happen to think this one works not only with this particular outfit but it would also be one you could wear with some straight, high-waisted white or cream denim as well as shorts if the weather called for it.

As you know by now, I love trainers with just about everything nowadays and this look really works well with them to give it a very laid back and casual sort of feel.  A seek low bun, my favorite sunnies of the moment and some gold hoops would finish the look off in grand style.

Need a look that's a bit more dressed up for a spring or summer occasion?  Then this skirt paired with a lovely black tank and some gorgeous nude heels would easily fit that bill as well.

I do really tend to love when my favorite pieces can work overtime in my closet, don't you?  I hope this has given you some new style inspiration to begin your week.  No matter which look you chose, I know you will wear it well.  Thanks so much for reading.  See you in the next post!

 The weekend has rolled in and it's time for some casual wear and sporty styles that are perfect for off-duty days.  Denim and knitwear always fit the bill and this look really captures a very simple yet stylish way to wear them.

Sleeveless knitwear was quite big last spring and I feel like it's here to stay again this season.  The sleeveless sweater in particular really has such great wearability as you can easily style it in a number of ways. For this look, I've decide to pair it with some light denim balloon jeans.  Balloon jeans are a style I've come to love and I enjoy wearing them in a variety of nice colors. Well, at least to me they are colors. To most they are just neutrals, haha.

If the weather where you are is still a bit chilly, this trench coat would be the perfect fit for adding some warmth while traveling about.  I absolutely love the color as it is a bit of a departure from the typical camel version.  These sandals are the type you either love or hate.  I personally think they are quite fun and make a bold statement while adding interest to the entire look.  Black sunglasses and a pair of gold earrings finish off the look and tie everything together for well-styled look.

I hope things warm up enough to wear weekend looks like this soon.  If you feel the same and have fallen in love with any of the pieces I've mentioned here today, I've linked them in the thumbnails below.  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend...see you next time!

Few things make me happier than all the great moments that pair so well with the words "weekend casual".  From a fun night with the girls to a much loved date night, these looks always check all the boxes.

Easy dresses are one reason why.  The soft silhouette of this one makes it absolutely perfect for either of those occasions.  From the billowy sleeves to the drop waist detailing, this dress is just so good in my eyes.  

Now, while it is still a little bit cool at times, I always try and have a versatile jacket or topper that works with so much of what I own and the outfits I tend to create daily.  The blazer does all of that and works so effortlessly well with everything from jeans to dresses.

When you're looking to add a bit of personal style and interest to the look, I suggest going for a hat.  This floppy straw option will be such a nice complement to so many things this spring and summer and works really nicely with this look as well.

Depending upon where you're headed, you can take this look in a couple different ways.  First, I would love it paired with some trainers for a fun around town sort of day.  Then, when evening rolls around and you want to take the look up a little bit, swap those out for an open back mule or strappy sandal.  

Much like with every outfit I build, none are complete without some sort of gold jewelry and sunglasses.  This pair is so well-suited for spring/summer as this is such a lovely color that looks beautifully on so many skin tones.

Here's to hoping that you are all okay and have a reason picked out to wear this outfit or one you love just as much.  All the items I've mentioned are linked int he thumbnails below.  Happy weekend and thanks for spending the start of it with me!

Hello spring!  I'm thrilled that gentler days have arrived and have decided there is no better way to welcome them in than with a collection of new spring dresses ready for the season.  No matter your style or shape, a gorgeous dress is a flattering piece that absolutely everyone can wear and look beautiful doing so.

You all know my love of neutrals and that really doesn't change come spring/summer but I will say that this is the one time of year that I do tend to add a bit more color to my everyday outfits usually in form of blush, blue and sage greens.  These dresses embrace all of those choices and look really nice for spring.  They are also so very flattering on so many skin tones and I love that.

This belted shirt dress is a great place to start.  I love the pin-striped detailing and the way it is the perfect day dress for sure.  I would style it with everything from white trainers to tan mules depending where I am going that day.  Right now pair it with an oversized denim jacket and said sneakers and then some gold jewelry and open toe sandals moving forward.

Floral dresses get a lot of attention in springtime and I really love that.  Just a bit of a softly muted flowery  fabric shouts spring and is something I think we've all been waiting for.  I'm really liking these relaxed fit styles with a bit of a balloon sleeve as they look really nice in springtime.  Again, a classic square-toe mule or strappy sandal would both work equally well with this style dress and give it a fresh look and feel for the season.

Of course, I can't forget to mention polka dots as a part of this collection as they are a classic print for springtime.  I tend to gravitate towards black and cream options and this dress would show why.  I love the easy flow of it and would be so happy styling it with some white sneakers for a modern easy look.

Denim dresses are always a spring staple and this one has caught my eye.  I love the shape and the deep neckline and would say that it would look great belted and paired with a straw tote and white trainers for such an easy spring look.  

No spring collection would be complete without some cream colored dresses to round out your options.  This is one of my favorites at the moment with its gathered waist, gentle sleeves that are slightly puffed and balanced silhouette.  There's really nothing it wouldn't be perfect for as you can dress it up with a bit of gold jewelry and a nude heel or make it more daytime appropriate with a flat sandal and over the shoulder cardigan for a bit of warmth.

So if you need to refresh your closet with a few new feminine pieces that are perfect for springtime, I think these are some perfect options for doing that.  Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful spring day!

Happy Friday!  It's the weekend and what better way to kick it off than with a collection of my top nine spring basics ready to go for the new season.  Spring begins on Saturday and I for one am verrrrry excited.   A new season always brings so much inspiration and I find that is never more true than in springtime.

I feel like I've been so busy the last week or so and it feels really good to just slow down a bit and take in what's new for the season.  The picks you see here today are really the basic pieces I find absolutely necessary to build the spring looks I know I'm going to want to be wearing throughout the start of the season.  As time goes on and the weather starts turning a bit warmer, I'll be adding in some lighter, more versatile pieces that will be perfect for more lighter spring days.  But for today, these are the must-haves I think every wardrobe needs.

The white tee.  To me it is a non-negotiable that I know I absolutely want to have at the ready at all times. It is truly the ultimate basic.  I love it with denim, maxi skirts, joggers and trousers alike.  Really I don't think there is very much it doesn't work well with.  

Denim is also a great basic all year round as well as in the spring.  I currently love this high-waisted pair and will wear it with practically everything I own.  Pair them with a blazer.  This black one is a year round essential for me only to be traded out for a soft shade of ivory come summer.

Spring is the absolute perfect time to transition into blouses.  Of course I always have the classic white option handy but currently I'm loving the blue shirt.  This oversized version is extremely popular right now and I'm think about all the ways to wear it now through summer.  I think it would look so chic paired with white denim, tucked into shorts or with a pair of ankle length trousers.

The classic camel trench goes without mention and would work beautifully with everything pictured here right through spring.  It's an iconic piece for a reason, haha.  The basic accessories for me are always a high quality handbag ( love this Loewe one), a chic pair of sneakers, a pair of splurge worthy shoes (my favorite spring version) and a glamorous pair of sunglasses.

And there you have it.  My top spring basics that are the best investments for taking you through the season in complete comfort and style.  Everything shown here is linked in the thumbnails below for your shopping pleasure.  

Have a beautiful weekend everyone!

Anyone else feeling it? Despite some of these really chilly temperatures, I can definitely tell you spring is in the air.  The extended daylight, slowly melting snow and chirping birds all let me know that lighter days won't be far away now.  

Whenever a new season rolls around, I always find myself happy and ready to completely shift gears.  And that brings us to today's post.  Lighter feels mean softer colors for me and these gorgeous shades of baby blue and neutrals are exactly what I'm loving right now. 

Casual looks are still reigning supreme and honestly, I couldn't be happier about that.  With that, jeans are tending to capture the spotlight.  But basic blue denim needn't be the only way to go.  Neutral shades are some of the latest options I've been reaching for.  

This high-waisted pair starts the outfit out with a completely fresh feel that allows you build your look in a great variety of ways.  Today I'm going with this chunky knit, light blue cardigan.  I absolutely love the soft color and easy to wear shoulder detailing.  I think this style is really very flattering on everyone and works as an easy layering piece depending upon what the weather decides to do.

Blazers are such a classic staple and they are absolutely perfect for transitional times of the year.  If haven't added any to your closet in a while, you may want to go with a single breasted option.  I love the slightly oversized fit of this one and can see myself wearing it with jeans, trousers, skirts and sleeves tanks moving forward.

Rounding out the look as always are some timeless accessories that complete the look in a chic yet relaxed way.  Mules have made a very big comeback and are perfect for spring and summer.  I love this pair for so many reasons...color, style and fit.  They have been selling out lately so if you do happen to find them in your size I recommend you add them to your cart.  A classic handbag in a beautiful neutral will take you effortlessly through the next two seasons and even on int the fall.  This one is a gorgeous pick.  Nude sunnies and dainty jewelry get me ever time.  This is no exception.

Together these pieces create a spring ready option to love.  And separately, they can each be paired with so many other closet favorites to create an endless number of looks.  And that is how you earn a place in my closet!


Hope you're all having a beautiful Wednesday friends!

Friday's in town and we're borrowing some style from the boys to celebrate the ocassion.  Straight-leg denim, cozy hoodies and oversized topcoats lead the way to laid-back style.  Here are the pieces I'm picking out to help welcome the weekend...


A TOPCOAT

It's still winter and even though I'm growing tired of wearing a parka or puffer, I still want to be warm.  Enter the topcoat.  This piece, borrowed from closet, is perfect for topping off any outfit right now.  This one comes in both black and camel.  Choosing your color is probably the hardest thing about it, haha. Either one will work with pretty much everything you own so go with your heart's desire! I love it on off duty days and with more feminine, dressed-up pieces alike.

THE HOODIE

Who doesn't love a soft, snuggly hoodie?  They really because a major part of the go-to uniform for so many of us over the past year and I honestly don't see them going anywhere as we head into spring.  Currently, you can wear it with your denim to style an easy casual look like this.  Then later on and as spring approaches, keep them nearby to toss one on over a tank and with your yoga pants or leggings as you head back outdoors and want to be more active.  I really loving this one featured above and this one from Zuda as well.

GREAT DENIM

Denim has forever been a constant in my closet for as far back as I can remember.  While it shared the spotlight (a lot) with softer, more relaxed bottoms recently, jeans are still something I will always love.  And with more flattering, easy to wear and affordable options than ever, I am still going to be shopping denim.  H&M has really come into the fold when it comes to this staple piece and I couldn't be happier about that.  From on trend silhouttes to sustainable options the choices are almost endless.  This pair currently has my eye.

SNEAKERS

You all know by now....I love my sneakers!  From Converse to Vans and everyyyything in between I am totally smitten, haha.  I received this pair for Christmas and love them.  Now, I am thinking about picking up another slightly different style by Veja for spring.  They are so cute, highly versatile and look fantastic with just about every easy outfit you can dream up.  I can't say enough about how great they are...I highly recommend them!

A STATEMENT BAG

Girls love bags.  This seems to be the case with everyone I talk to and being a bag lover myself, I can completely understand that!  Whether it's a tiny tote, easy crossbody or extra large catch-all, we all have a style that works for us.  With that, it makes sense to want to invest a little more in a bag that is going to be by your side, working overtime daily.  This gorgeous neutral one from Loewe would be the perfect neutral to work with so much of what you may already own.  Their craftsmanship is impeccable and it really is worth the splurge if you are looking to treat yourself to something special.  

ACCESSORIES

Accessories are one of my favorite things.  Yes, I know I have many but they really are those last little touches that add your personality to a look.  For me that means a chic hat (love this one), pretty makeup colors that polish instead of pretend and sunglasses.  You all know my go-tos by now but I must take a moment to recognize this pair of sunnies by Chloe.  They.Are.Gorgeous.  And I fell in love the minute I saw them.  Again, they are a bit of a splurge but if your sweetie is asking you if you want something new they are a great suggestion ;)

So there you have it, my top picks for easy weekend living.  I hope you are all set to celebrate a sweet Valentine's Day with you and yours.  Whether it be big or small (the little things are often truly the best) please find some way to celebrate and treat yourself this weekend.  Believe me, you deserve it!

Accessories are one of my favorite things.  Yes, I know I have many but they really are those last little touches that add your personality to a look.  For me that means a chic hat (love this one), pretty makeup colors that polish instead of pretend and sunglasses.  You all know my go-tos by now but I must take a moment to recognize this pair of sunnies by Chloe.  They.Are.Gorgeous.  And I fell in love the minute I saw them.  Again, they are a bit of a splurge but if your sweetie is asking you if you want something new they are a great suggestion ;)

So there you have it, my top picks for easy weekend living.  I hope you are all set to celebrate a sweet Valentine's Day with you and yours.  Whether it be big or small (the little things are often truly the best) please find some way to celebrate and treat yourself this weekend.  Believe me, you deserve it!

xoxo,
