Athleisure Attitude

This past weekend's weather was crazy warm; I'll gladly take sunny and fifty degrees in the middle of February. I spent as much time as I could outside knowing that this weather wouldn't last very long, whether it was going for a run or walking to grab Starbucks and checking out the local boutiques (btw, the new smoked butterscotch latte is worth a try!). I wanted something comfy but cute for bopping around the city, so I went with this cozy sweater from LOFT, and paired it with leggings and my running shoes. Typically I'd wear riding boots with an outfit similar to this, but the athleisure trend is growing more and more popular, so I thought I'd give it a go. I threw on some red lipstick for a fun twist - the pop of color definitely elevated the look! If you're into layering, try adding a military-inspired or fur vest for another fun element! xoxo

Wishing for the Weekend

Nothing beats a lazy Saturday at home drinking coffee, reading magazines and catching up on my favorite t.v. shows. And who says we can't look cute while doing that! Lately, I've been obsessed with bralettes. I found this adorable eyelet number at Aerie - they have the widest selection of any retailer I've seen so far, and I want ALL of them. I paired mine with this open back top from Lulu's so that I could show off the cute details of my new bralette, and of course, some cozy, fun socks to finish off the look. This top is super versatile as well - I've worn it when I've gone out with friends, and received many compliments. Lulu's, ASOS and Express are great places to explore if you're looking for something similar! Bralette and monogram mug are linked below! xoxo

Winter Whites

Winter whites; it's a thing. Gone is the ancient rule of only wearing white between Memorial Day and Labor Day - wearing white year round, and doing whatever you want, is now "in." I say this with slight caution though. You won't see me wearing a white lace dress in the middle of January (although I just bought a gorgeous white lace midi from Lulu's and I'm dying to wear it), but white jeans, especially with destruction, are on trend and totally ok to pull out of your closet whenever your heart desires. I paired mine with a classic white tee, cozy grey and white wool cardigan, and grey booties with plaid detailing at the ankles. If you're willing to push the envelope a little bit, I suggest keeping a neutral color palette, and pairing your winter whites with greys and creams. Try something new today! xoxo
