Laidback Luxe

I don't wear them that often, but I was really feelin' the distressed boyfriend jeans paired with girly everything else the other day.

Warming Trend

Yesterday we got some much-needed relief from relentless winter weather! It's a wonder I didn't show up to work in short shorts and a tank. I did take advantage of the milder temps and showed a little leg in a midi skirt but kept the rest of the ensemble reasonable with a sweater and boots. It's also staying light later into the evening, and Daylight Savings is coming up soon, which means lots more outfit photos (with proper lighting and all that good stuff). Yay for spring!

Hugs & Kisses!

Happy Valentine's Day, loves! From the pink and red color scheme to the sweet surprises to the lovey-dovey vibes all around, I'm such a sucker for this holiday. It was hard to narrow down my outfit choices, but I predictably reached for the leather pants yet again (I know, I know!). I loved the edgy contrast they gave my super girly blouse and shoes.

Fierce Floral

Today's forecast calls for a huge snowstorm, but here's a recent outfit from a much milder day. I liked how the coated jeans played off the blouse's faux leather accents. Add in the painterly print and statement accessories, and this look creates a nice balance of elegance and edge.
