Hello and happy Monday!  I'm not sure about where you are living but I can say for sure that spring has definitely spring here in the NYC area....and I'm loving it.  Now when it comes to any season, for me nothing beats the basics.  Spring is no exception and today I want to take a moment to highlight some of the best spring neutrals I'm enjoying wearing right now.

Despite what was perhaps once true, black is not a winter only staple.  Quite on the contrary, I find all shades of ebony to be year round neutrals that work to accentuate and ultimately tie a look together in such a chic and effortless way.  I love that.

This pair of black denim is one perfect example of why.  I love how flattering the high-waisted cut is and the way I can wear them with just about everything from a basic white tee to a gorgeous flowy blouse like this one I'm sharing here.  The full sleeve and soft neckline are both so feminine and easy to wear.  You can either tuck it in to show off the waistline or wear it out for a really easy spring or summer look.

Basic neutrals that are as simple as these really pair well with some equally understated accessories that have maybe just a bit of interest to draw the eye in and make for a really stylish look.  This headband fits the bill.  I am still a fan of this style from time to time and I think that the bit of animal print sort of ties everything together without being at all crazy or overdone.  If this pattern is not your style, perhaps a pearl accented option might be something you like a bit better.  This one is very pretty too.

Mules are huge again this spring and I'm still wearing them a lot.  This pair is so nicely designed and I love the way the black keeps the flow and feel of the look going from head to toe.  s

Of course, sunnies are a part of the look and this pair is my current favorite.  These croissant hoops have also become some of my most worn lately.  They're also perfect for summer coming up and look really, really nice with a low bun all season long.

Finally, my Chloe C mini bag in taupe would be the perfect one to finish off the entire look with the gold hardware playing so well with the earrings and the soft color perfectly complementing the entire black and white look.

Neutrals and basics are a match made in heaven and I absolutely love them all seasons of the year.  Hope you took something helpful away from today's post.  Have a wonderful day everyone...see you in the next one!

Hello Wednesday!  This week is flying by and as I'm excitedly waiting for spring, there are some closet staples I've been adding to my collection of late.  Specifically, the spring blouse.  I've always loved warm weather tops and this season is definitely impressing me.  Soft colors, fresh florals and feminine details are all holding court and I love each and every one.  This one from Boden (you can also get it online at Nordstrom's) is so delicate and sweet.  I'd love it with skinny denim capris, flats and a classic trench in early spring and later paired with scalloped shorts and a fun straw bag.  This one is a tomboy gone girlie option and a steal (at under $40!).  Tie front details are very right now, showing up in tons of fabrics, styles and great colors.  Finally, the devil is always in the details and this top proves that to be so.  It's darling and parable with so many great options.  With mileage like that, it is definitely worth the splurge.  Just in case one, two or a few of these have caught your eye, I've linked them all in the thumbnails below.  Now for the hard part...which ones to choose!

Getting out in nature always brings new perspective and lends remarkable creativity to my thoughts.  Being lucky enough to live close by to several lovely parks, I love any chance I get to spend there taking in the sights.  Grabbing a few comfy essentials make it that much more fun.  A soft hoodie, great pair of cargo or jogger pants and distressed denim jacket are the perfect cute uniform for some time outdoors.  I also love this water bottle for so many reasons.  It is first off, so gorgeous to look at, loves the environment and keeps whatever I put in it the exact right temperature whenever I want to take a sip.  These glasses are also on my list.  Anyone who knows me knows I love my sunnies and this pair  is beautiful.  I always want a hardworking cross body by my side so I, don't have to.  This one is so versatile and I love how it effortlessly embraces both casual and fashion forward moments.  

Hope you're all setting some game-changing goals this week...Let's crush 'em.

Is there anything color can't do? From lifting your spirits to setting the mood, color is what creates our world in oh so many beautiful ways.  Pink is especially wonderful at adding the whimsy and giving anything and everything that girlie touch.  This Rebecca Minkoff mini Suki bag is the perfect spring into summer accessory that works beautifully right now with nudes and neutrals and will play perfectly with white on white in the months to come.  These sandals are another current fave (love these too).  I found this pretty little timepiece while out shopping this weekend and think it needs to come home with me.  Speaking of the weekend…extra pillow time is always a lovely facet of Saturday and Sunday.  While you may not be able to log as many hours as you like on other days, you can get cozy when the time comes with these amazing little pajamas.  So, soft and so cozy you'll feel like it's the weekend everyday.  I hope your week is off to a lovely start and if you've fallen in love with any of these little pretties you can shop them all below.  Enjoy!

When it comes to closet staples, certain items are classics.  The white shirt and its tarried history is one of those incredible pieces.  Looking back on fashion's decades throughout history, it's always been there in one way or another.  What I'm loving now, are the different shapes and styles it has again taken on.  This equipment blouse is the perfect must-have for your every wardrobe.  It's easy with jeans and heels and can just as quickly be ready for work with great-fitting pencil skirt.  I also would love to see this version styled with a sleek black tuxedo pant and these gorgeous heels.  This snakeskin tote is the perfect accent for this outfit.  A sleeveless version of the white shirt is a major need.  Wear it with a pair of soft, slouchy draped pocket trousers, these shoes and a clutch and you are chic and ready, set, go.  Finally, I can not get enough of this window pane check blouse.  Wear it casual with your favorite boyfriend jeans and your sunnies on the weekend. So cute!

Hope you're having a great week!

Maybe it's the longing for spring or the fact that this winter has been just so long, no matter the reason I find myself falling in love with florals.  What began as a passing interest last summer has evolved into full-on love affair.  It seems I'm not alone in this lovely obsession as flirty flowers are showing up just about everywhere.

One thing I love about this pattern is that it can be worn in so many beautiful ways meaning, there's going to be an option for everyone.  Options that femininly run from the casual everyday to the glamorous big night.  Chrissy Teigen was a gorgeous example of this in her Monique Lhuillier Oscar gown as it powerfully radiated bold romance.

My favorite thing among the many, however, is the wonderful way you can wear it casual or glam.  From a cute cropped top paired with high-waisted harems to the most ladylike garden party frock, a floral fantasy will always leave you looking lovely.
