Winter?

Wearing: Jeans Citizens of Humanity | Sweater Aritzia | Coat Scoop | Boots Miu Miu, Similar

Normally at this time of year outerwear would be an essential part of any outfit, however, with this warmer weather I've barely been able to wear my coats. Now, I'm definitely not mad about the warmer weather, but I would like a chance to wear my winter clothes. We've had a few cold days that almost felt like winter where I've gotten to wear this coat. Shearling is such a big trend this year, and not only does it look good but it's incredibly warm as well. Plus the coat I'm wearing above doesn't come with the insane price tag many shearling pieces have. And while we wait for colder temperatures I've just been wearing my coats open for a less bundled up look.

Minimal Effort

I will always love two-in-one items. Some days I am can be super lazy and a single shirt that looks like two is the perfect option. It's effortless, yet it looks like I put some effort into getting dressed that morning. A simple layered shirt like this with some destructed denim and awesome slip-on sneakers is definitely one of my go-to outfits for spring. 

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. 

Yet Another Casual Friday

Ahh, all my finals are finally over and now I get to be super lazy for a bit. Well, at least until my winter session courses start (but those are online, so they can all be done while still wearing pajamas). But for now, I will be embracing laziness with super comfy and easy to wear pieces, such as a plaid shirt. This plaid shirt is not only super easy to wear, but it is also the comfiest shirt I own, and it can be worn in so many ways. 

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!

Leather Weather

Wearing: Pants Mother Denim | Tank Aritzia, Similar | Plaid Shirt Rails | Shoes Miu Miu 

One of the reasons I could not hold off blogging any longer was that there was no way I would miss out on fall fashion. Fall is definitely my favorite season, I love being able to slowly pile on layer after layer as it gets cooler (but before it gets freaking freezing). The only problem is, sometimes fall weather can be unpredictable. The solution: keep an extra layer around your waist, then if it gets a little cooler you are prepared. 

For me, this outfit is all about the details, like the lace detailing on my tank top or the bit of metallic on my shoes. Plus, I love the idea of an all black look using different textures. And the plaid around my waist just breaks it up a bit. And then there's the pants, I swear I never feel cooler than when I'm wearing my leather pants (which are now on super sale, go go go!). 

Casual Fridays

What I'm Wearing: Shorts Joe's Jeans | Tee Eleven Paris, (Can't find Cara but here's Kate Moss or Lenny Kravitz) | Shoes Miu Miu | Sunglasses Saint Laurent

I have a confession, in real (non-blog) life my summer wardrobe basically consists of denim shorts and tees. Don't get me wrong I do enjoy the occasional cute printed short, blouse, even a dress, but in all honesty I just don't put much thought into everyday summer outfits. Because all we all really want to be wearing is a bathing suit by a pool, right? 

Stolen

This jacket might just be my most amazing sample sale find yet. This jacket retailed for $1,295, and I got it for, drum roll please, $250. If I was good at percents, or if I wasn't too lazy to reach for a calculator I would tell you just how great of a steal that was, but I think it's pretty easy to see that it was quite a deal. And I am seriously in love with this jacket. I mean, it looks like the world's most awesome DIY project, but it required no effort whatsoever. It definitely makes a statement, no matter what you wear it with too. It's a piece that makes an outfit, which is always a good piece to have for days where you just don't want to try too hard but still want to look good. 

All In One

What I'm Wearing: Overalls Paige | Shirt Aqua, Similar | Shoes Miu Miu

The one thing I love about overalls (or jumpsuits, or rompers) is the minimal amount of planning involved. It's an all in one outfit so all you really need to decide is what shoes you want to wear and any other accessories. What I really love about these overalls, in particular, is the fit. While some overalls are just too baggy these fit so perfectly. Honestly, if you were to remove the top part of them they would fit just like the perfect boyfriend jean. These will definitely be a featured player in my spring wardrobe, that is if spring ever actually comes..

B&W

What I'm Wearing: Jeans AG Jeans | Shirt BCBG | Vest Aritzia | Shoes Miu Miu

When all else fails, sometimes no color palette is the best color palette. Seriously, black and white will never fail to make a great, high-contrast outfit. Plus, you don't have to worry about whether all your items of clothing match or not. So, when I saw this black and white vest and Aritzia I knew I needed it for my spring wardrobe. It is the perfect throw on piece to add that special something to any outfit. And don't even get me started on these shoes. I have been waiting so long to finally get to wear them. A leather slip-on with silver pointed cap-toe, I honestly think they might be one of the coolest pairs of shoes ever made. I'm obsessed. They will also be an item in my closet that can be added to any outfit to give it that extra edge.
