Sunshine on a Cloudy Day

Welcome back friends!  I am not the least bit surprised that I have been living in these adorable yellow heels since they arrived on my doorstep.  For the cold and overcast New England days they are the perfect way to bring a touch of spring and sunshine into my outfits without breaking out the open toe shoes (there is still a foot of snow on the ground, after all).

Steps in Leopard

img_6110img_6065img_6119

Leopard is indisputably one of the hottest trends this season.  If you’re hesitant to embrace the boldness in large quantities, than a pop of print on your accessories is the perfect solution.  I love my leopard print flats and scarf and have them on regular rotation, so it was really only a matter of time before I added a pair of heels into the mix.  These LC Lauren Conrad heels are incredibly comfortable – I actually have them in both burgundy and leopard – and you cannot beat the price!  They also come in nude, black, gray, and navy so if you’re in the mood for *any* kind of dress heel LC has got you covered!

Save More Elephants

JCrew Save the Elephants tee

As we edge further into fall territory, I can’t help but feel inspired by the traditional collegiate prep styles swarming the New England area.  Stripes, navy, and graphic tees are three big ones that come to mind, but are still wearable in the 90 degree heat.  This skirt has been my go to piece (seen here last week!) since the colors are a bit more autumn appropriate than most of my summer skirts, but its still light and short enough to be comfortable in these late summer days.  Graphic tees are one of my favorite ways to make a statement about my personality, especially ones like this J.Crew for David Sheldrick ‘Save More Elephants’ tee.  100% of the net proceeds from it are donated to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, to aid in their mission to protect and preserve Africa’s wildlife.

Easter Outfits

I don’t know about everyone else, but I can hardly believe that Easter is just over a week away!  Last night I hit Nordstrom’s online dress department and had so much fun dreaming up Easter outfits, the only problem I’m having right now is I can’t decide which of these fabulous frocks I should pull the trigger on for next Sunday!

Easter2

This feminine outfit is perfect for the girly-girl to wear on Easter.  I love all the shades of pink and white together, and nothing beats a floral dress during the month of April!

Details – Dress: Maggy London | Earrings: Bauble Bar | Bow Belt: The Limited | Hair Clip: Wedding Belles New York | Ring: The Limited | Pumps: Charles by Charles David | Handbag: Tory Burch

Easter3

This dress combines two of my favorite patterns, stripes and florals!  This dress makes the perfect canvas to add in your favorite colored accessories, so I chose to accent the pink and yellow in the flowers!

Details – Dress: Ellen Tracy | Earrings: Bauble Bar | Jacket: Topshop | Bag: Old Navy | Heels: Topshop

Easter4

Of course, dresses aren’t the only way to flash your spring florals!  These gorgeous Ivanka Trump pumps look great with this vibrant orange dress, and a denim jacket and bucket bag keep this dressed-up casual look fun for a more laid-back Easter vibe.

Details – Dress: Banana Republic | Necklace: Bauble Bar | Jacket: J.Crew Factory | Bag: Vince Camuto | Pumps: Ivanka Trump

Easter1

This is my favorite outfit that I dreamt up for Easter!  I love all of the cool tones together, and the tassel earrings make such a gorgeous statement!

Details – Dress: Adrianna Papell | Blazer: J.Crew Factory | Earrings: Banana Republic | Clutch: Sole Society | Flats: Ivanka Trump | Watch: Michael Kors

Thanks for stopping by, and have a wonderful weekend!

All Dressed Up

Being the main event of Thanksgiving week, family dinner always causes the most outfit stress.  Luckily, I found this amazing Banana Republic skirt almost three months ago during BTS and I knew it would be absolutely perfect for Thanksgiving with my family.  Tights and heels are some of my favorite wardrobe staples, so any excuse to break them out is a good day in my book!

I love incorporating more than one fall hue into an outfit, and this skirt is the perfect neutralizer for the navy and burgundy shades.  I have been holding off on actually wearing it until Thanksgiving, but I can’t wait to see what else I can style it with once the holiday is over.
