Jacket and Jeans

Wearing: Jeans Citizens of Humanity | Tee Aritzia, Similar | Jacket Maje, Similar | Bandana Free People | Sneakers Nike

I'm pretty sure I would have been very happy as a rebellious teen boy in the 50's because a leather jacket and jeans is my go-to look. It's a simple look that always works, and this spring add a bandana for a little something extra. I love this silk one from Free People because it has four different colored squares so you can change the color of it depending on what your wearing. 

Give Me Space

It was impossible to pass up this adorable spacey sweatshirt that reads "give me space".  And it is just as amazingly comfy as it looks. I love the idea of taking a sweatshirt and making it something other than strictly casual wear. Paired with a suede skirt and sneakers, it's the perfect mix of comfy and cute. 

Summer Sweaters

The weather has been ridiculously confusing lately, which only makes it harder to get dressed in the morning. One look I love for these in between days is shorts and a sweater. It's such a simple outfit solution. And I especially love a good, lightweight, knit like this one for a summer day. 

Suede and Studs

I'm usually not much of a mini-skirt kinda girl, however, every once in a while I fall in love with one I need to have. And as I previously shared, (here) I have been obsessed with skirts lately as well as anything and everything suede. So this skirt fit the bill, and the studded belt detail sealed the deal. Perfect dressed up, or down as seen here with a basic tee. 

The Basics

At this point of winter I've worn all my clothes to death and it is just too cold outside. And rather than investing in more winter clothes all I want is clothes for spring. So, basically, my wardrobe has gotten pretty stale. My solution is just to embrace my basics. By layering my go-to gray sweater with a new distressed tank it adds a little bit more to an otherwise dull outfit. Plus, wearing my new sunglasses (which I am obsessed with) adds a fun element and a pop of color. 

Sale Season

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Yeah, there's the holidays and all that. But let's be real, the reason this time of year is so great, the sales. This year I decided to hold off on any major shoe shopping until December because these designer sales are just too good. Like these Miu Miu boots that I got for 30% off. And as the month goes on the sales will just get better and better. Of course the selection will shrink if you wait, but you could score a huge deal. But whether you buy now or wait a little bit longer it's definitely the best time to score a great pair of shoes (.. or a handbag, or some clothes, or accessories..)

P.S. How cute is Bella? She even got dressed up for the picture too!

Furry Friends

What I'm Wearing: Jeans AG Jeans | Sweater Maje, Similar | Coat Similar | Boots Burberry

This coat is yet another find from that wonderful trip to the front hall closet. I really wasn't lying when I said I found a really good collection of coats there. And this one has to be a favorite. It is honestly the softest coat I have ever worn in my whole life, I didn't want to take it off. Of course with a coat this beautiful I had to keep the rest of my outfit simple, so the usual jeans, sweater, and wonderfully awesome burberry boots rounded out the look. And a post entitled Furry Friends would not be complete without the appearance of one of my furry friends, so enjoy the adorable picture of Bella in the snow. 

Grayscale

I love a monochrome outfit. The way you can mix patterns, shades, and textures all in a singular color is just so fun. So when my mom bought this awesome equipment patterned blouse I knew I had to borrow it for an all gray ensemble. And I must say, I'm very happy with the end result. 

Snow Day

What I'm Wearing: Jeans J Brand | Sweater Maje | Blouse PJK Patterson J. Kincaid | Boots Zara

I love snow. I know I've been complaining about the cold weather lately, but I really do love winter. I couldn't imagine ever living anywhere where you can't experience all four seasons. And with cold weather comes the fun of winter fashion, or basically throwing on as many pieces of clothing as possible but making it look like it's all done on purpose. So what better than a super cozy sweater complete with zipper details on the back and on the cuffs? Add a plaid blouse underneath for extra warmth, and of course because it looks good as well. Then jeans, boots, done. 

iRoss

What We're Wearing: Me Alice + Olivia | Danielle Maje | Mom Hervé Léger

The reason I don't have any outfit photos for you this week is because I spent the weekend in Florida for my cousin Ross' Bar Mitzvah. So, while I wasn't able to take any pictures, I had an amazing weekend with my whole family. The theme of the party was iRoss, which is fitting since my cousin Ross loves technology. And it was just fun getting to see my family and all my little cousins, who are pictured above (except for my cousin Aaron who ran out of the picture as it was being taken). Plus, it's always fun to get to dress up. Especially since I magically found this Alice + Olivia dress on sale after I had been coveting in for quite a while. 

When All Else Fails..

What I'm Wearing: Shorts Maje | Top ASOS

When all else fails, wear all black. You really can't go wrong, it matches, it's slimming, it just always works. Of course in the summer black on black could get a little hot, but we all make sacrifices in the name of fashion, right? Seriously, though, this little $11 crop top I picked up at the beginning of the summer could be one of my greatest purchases. It works with everything. Perfect with shorts, skirts, overalls, and when worn well, shows just enough skin without being over the top.
