Hot Pink

Hot pink is the epitome of "girly", so when I wear the color I like to take it out of it's element. I'll pair it with boyfriend jeans, messy layers, and in this case, all black, with a hint of edge, just to keep the color more me. That way, I feel as though I am wearing the color, not the other way around.

Puffy Vest

I've never been a fan of "puffy outerwear". I've always thought it looked cheap, and a little tacky, even though I know it's quite functional. Well ladies (and perhaps gentlemen?), after this terribly cold Winter we had, I finally gave in. And after figuring out how to make this puffy, shiny, piece of clothing look cool, I figured it's about time to throw it up on the blog. Maybe it will inspire you all to give into some functional outerwear? Kyle did say this was his favorite look of mine so far...

I also wanted to share this little gif with you all. Even after a couple of years of having Kyle take my pictures out in the open, when there are people walking by, I get awkward. This isn't even the worst of it!

Trend-Spotting: Royal Blue

I absolutely loved the Fall 2013 L'Wren Scott collection! What stood out to me the most was his use of the color Royal Blue. Combining it with beautiful embellishments, and opulent golds was genius, gorgeous, and refreshing. Since then, I've been seeing royal blue popping up here and there, and I think it's a fantastic color for Spring! I would love to imitate the above combination in a more street style friendly way; maybe for a date night look? Below you can shop shop royal blue pieces, at both an investment price-point, and a budget friendly version. My favorite find is the Zara pumps- they are beautiful and under $100!

Burgundy

Burgundy has been my favorite color nearly my entire life. I've always felt that it's romantic, while being dark and mysterious. With this outfit, I really liked that the pattern on the blouse, and the white of the blazer balanced out the fact that I was mainly wearing one color family. These pants are also becoming one of my favorite pairs of bottoms. Not only are they my favorite color, but the fit is spot on, and the waxed effect is the closest to actual leather pants I've seen!

Spring Make-Up

When you think Spring cleaning, you usually think about how to de-clutter your living space, and even your closet. Well, cleaning out your closet is a whole post of it's own, but first I wanted to talk about how to lighten your make-up bag!

Spring and Summer is all about the fresh-faced look. You want a barely there make-up look: clean, even, and dewy skin, lush lashes, and a pretty flush. This means that you can toss (or store if it's newer) your heavy foundations, powders, and thick dark lipsticks. You want make-up that seems like it's barely there, so stick to BB creams or tinted moisturizer for coverage. If you have problem areas, use concealer sparingly. For blush, stick to creams, gels or tinted liquids. They last longer in the heat and sweat, and provide a more natural looking inner glow. For your lips it's a similar idea; a light tint that looks like it's from within, so a pretty rose tint will do. For a finishing touch, to complete the look, use a thickening and lengthening mascara. It will provide the perfect amount of definition to make your eyes pop!

Easy Breezy

Quick post today guys! I love dressing down more complex pieces, like this splattered and waxed pair of trousers, with a basic tee. I decided to play with the waxed effect up top with my go-to denim jacket. A little messy, but perfectly worn in.

Happy Monday everyone! And April Fool's Day! Did anyone get pranked on??

I'm sure everyone has one item in their closet that they become obsessed with, and want to wear constantly. For me lately, it's this chambray shirt from Joe's Jeans. It's oversized, and ridiculously soft, so wearing it is a dream. For a weekend outing I paired it with a draped scarf, my favorite hat, leather effect pants, and pointy heels for a laid back, yet dressed up look. You'll be seeing a lot more of this shirt- I promise!
