Au Revoir, Winter

Hooray, it’s finally Spring! Although, it doesn’t quite feel like it yet with the snow continuing to fall, what gives? As the temperature begins to rise, however; the layers begin to shed and white becomes even more of a closet staple than it was this past winter. And as you can see, I’m a firm believer in the fact that sweatpants are in fact wearable outside of the house *with the right accessories. Personally, as you’ll see in an upcoming post, even pajamas (I can see the look of horror on your faces already!) are wearable outside of the house! I have a simple equation to get you through it – blazer, your raddest shoes, and some sunglasses, a hat or any other simple accents to complete your comfy yet chic looking ensemble. And there you have it! (You’re welcome, ladies).

Currently Craving #2: Chic Sunnies

On Spring Break one of the most essential things you can pack (other than sunscreen and aloe!) is a pair of decent sunglasses. They not only keep you from burning in the eye region, but the right ones can instantly transform your look. I chose these for a general assortment of sunglasses I believe every women should own - and with these prices, they can!

Cat Eye Sunnies: for the sassy yet classy type - the bigger the frame the bolder the look!

Betsey Johnson Cat Eye Sunnies - $24

Nasty Gal Kitty Shades - $40

Wayfarers: for the "too cool for school" gal.

River Island Wayfarer Sunglasses - $18

ASOS Wood Effect Wayfarers - $22

Aviators - because who doesn't wish they were a pilot with Ben Affleck in Pearl Harbor?

FE NY Aviator Sunglasses - $22

Round Frames: because if Ozzy can rock them, so can you.

Merry Go Round Sunglasses - $16

Teddyboy Sunglasses - $36 

ASOS Vintage Round Lens Sunglasses - $28

So which one do YOU prefer?

Currently Craving #1: Sensible Spring Shoes

Blush Flats  /  Powder Blue Flats  /  White Pointed Toe Flats  /  Leopard Sneakers  /  Black Slingbacks  /  White Loafers  /  Black Loafers



Heels are a beautiful thing. But being a student and all, it's often impractical to wear heels - let alone on a regular basis. When I'm older, I cannot wait to wear heels daily! As for now, however; I have to look for other practical means of getting around, while remaining in style of course! I adore beautifully crafted flats and sandals, so odds are I'll never be caught dead in a pair of flip-flops - my sister has even tried and I won't budge - no flip-flops for me! Thus, here are a few of some of my favorite Spring flats - easy on the eyes, and the wallet! Bear with me as I know the color scheme variations are pretty boring - I still can't find it in my heart to buy a pair of shoes that I will get a minimal amount wear out of!

Kate Spade Trench Coat (Old, similar here) / Tobi Sweater, Sunglasses / Black Skinny Jeans (Old, similar here and here) / Oxford Loafers, Fashion Faux Pas Socks (we can pretend they're trendy, right?) / Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Electric Orange



With Spring on our horizon (less than two weeks away, eep!), I decided to take one last chance to be a stand out contrast against the winter snow. All at the same time, I wanted to incorporate spring colors, hence; the orange lipstick, to celebrate Spring's quickly approaching arrival. With that being said, I can't say the snow will be missed, but I was always a sucker for layering. Thus, while my love affair with Winter Fashion must come to an end, my passion ensues over what this spring has to hold in our trendy world. Mules? Deep violet? Sleeve-less trench coats? We'll just have to stay tuned...
