Any Excuse for Fur

Dress: (c/o) H&M; Coat: Forever 21 (old); Booties: Franco Sarto; Clutch: (c/o) Gorjana; Sunglasses: Ray-Ban This past week has been cold.  Chilling my beach-loving bones cold.  The one upside (besides a constant fire in the fireplace) is that I’ll take any excuse to sport a little (faux) fur, and this one from Forever 21 was (…)

Modern Classic

Create a modern take on a classic look by pairing ladylike, tailored basics with unexpected accessories.  Worn with a sleek white coat, a basic black shirt dress is seasonless, and an oversized wool hat gives an old school vibe.  Spiked platforms, mirrored aviators and a leopard clutch update the look, while (…)

Piece de Resistance

Track-like, non-scandalous leather shorts are the wardrobe staple you’ll probably wear more than you think and are a serious no-brainer for this girl (as seen by a slight obsession with a certain H&M pair here, here, and here).  For a laidback night out with friends, pair them with a loose chambray button-down and sky-high booties, (…)

Prep School

After spending a solid twelve years of my life in a (private school mandated) knee-length plaid skirt, I’d say it’s with good reason that the whole preppy thing is not a look I usually go for.  Usually.  But then I spent a little too much time browsing Madewell’s tailored, prep-perfect site, (…)

Ship Shape

If your skinny jean routine is giving you post-holiday pains, it may be time to dig up those wide leg trousers from the summer side of your closet.  For a quick and easy nautical look, pair the figure-flattering denim with an anchor-embellished sweater and swing coat combo.  Add ankle booties, a (…)

Ombre Fringe

Well the weekend is here again, and I can see no better time to stomp around in an all-out boho ombre fringe jacket and edgy studded booties.  Ground the standout separates with a simple sack dress, and further the ombre effect with a turquoise handbag.  Finish with sleek silver accessories and easy shades for a (…)

Black Velvet

With the holidays freshly behind us, it’s the perfect time to scoop up those LBD’s and festive frocks that you’ve been drooling over all winter long at a fraction of the price, and this one from Aritzia has my velvet-loving name written all over it.  (After all, can you think of (…)

Denim Distress

Well, the holidays are over, and it’s a brand new year.  Time to squeeze back into those skinny jeans and see how long this year’s health kick resolution will last.  Right now I’m loving the look of distressed denim paired with a major heel and a smart tee and cardigan combo. (…)
