Ease your winter wardrobe into spring without sacrificing warmth by focusing on the color palette.  A nice neutral sweater (love the back zip detailing on this one) lightens up tough coated denim, especially when paired with nude pumps and a two-tone nude clutch.  Finish the look with a colorful collar, delicate shades and a few scattered rings.  How are you prepping your wardrobe for spring?

If you're looking for a way to spice up your skinnies on a dull old weekday, I'd say a few sequined stripes are a pretty safe bet.  Even better?  Layer on a little (faux) fur for good measure.  (Yesterday was a windy one, so please excuse my baby-fine toddler hair gone wild.)  Is it just me, or do "short weeks" have a way of feeling a bit long sometimes?  Happy Thursday, everyone; we're almost there!

Mother Nature has been a fickle little lady around here lately, so I've made a little rule for this week: when in doubt, choose trousers.  Black silk trousers like these are an easy throw-on-and-go option that can be layered up to battle a chill and stripped down to the basics in a warm office building.  Here, a quotable tee and zippered jacket paired with cap-toe heels add a bit of edge to the easy trousers.  Finish the look with a floral handbag, printed sunnies and a few pieces of silver jewelry.  Hope everyone's week is off to a great start!

One styling question that readers always seem to email about is print mixing, and my main advice for easily layering prints is to keep them all in the same color palette.  Here, a muted Aztec-printed skirt plays nice with a similarly hued floral coat, while an ivory blouse and speckled grey sweater provide the extra layers.  Complement the look with grey booties and a light blue scarf, and add an unexpected touch with a bold red handbag.  What's your favorite way to layer prints?  Hope everyone has an amazing weekend!

I'm a sucker for a good black maxi for spring, and this one from LA Made's resort collection is definitely a new favorite.  Yesterday I decided it definitely couldn't sit in my closet until spring, so I threw it on with a favorite oversized sweater for a walk down to the beach.  The fabric is super soft, and the neck cutout and side slits make it equally appealing with a pair of heels for a night out.  Right now, you can score this resort-ready dress, as well as anything else on LA Made's site, for 20% off using code "NIKKI20" at checkout.  Happy Shopping!

Well, it's Friday finally, and there's no better time to deck yourself in a little bit of fringe and shake off the week.  Tone down ombre fringe mini shorts with an oversized sweater, and echo the fringe with this statement necklace from Wunway (a beyond adorable new fashion site for little girls which also includes a few goodies for those of us over the age of 8).  Finish the fun bohemian look with mirrored aviators, easy ankle booties and an eclectic mix of jewels.  Hope everyone has an amazing weekend!

Citrus yellow and light denim has always been a favorite spring color combo for me, but who says you have to wait for spring?  Pair a bold yellow sweater dress with a chic biker-style jacket in light denim for an easy pre-spring vibe.  Add neutral accessories in the form of a luxe messenger, flat booties and a lightweight scarf.  Finish the look with oversized shades, a two-tone watch and stackable rings.  Hope everyone is having a great start to the week!

It's Super Bowl Weekend, and you know what that means.  That's right.  Finger foods, kick-ass commercials, and (Gasp!) a rumored Destiny's Child reunion.  (Hello, halftime.)  So slap on some ("Bootylicious") skinnies and an oversized cardigan for a comfy, cozy look.  I predict a "Jumpin', Jumpin'" Sunday Funday.  (It's Destiny's Child humor.  Just go with it, people.)  Hope everyone has a great weekend!

This week seems to be dragging along at a record slow pace, and getting dressed in the morning takes a little extra brain power.  It's times like these when all I want to do is throw on comfy jeans and an oversized tee and call it a day.  To avoid the whole "I'm so tired I didn't even try" thing, choose a luxe tee, and skip the sneakers for a pair of cute booties.  Pull the look together with a contrasting scarf and handbag combo and sleek accessories.  Oh, and a cozy jacket is probably necessary, seeing as it's January and all.  T.G.I.(almost)F.,  kids.
