Cable Knit and Leather...

I have decided this is my last official week of dressing in winter clothes. Even though we are supposed to get another major snowstorm tomorrow and still have four feet of snow on the ground, in my mind it is going to be spring. So, I have been wearing up all of my winter favorites before I bid them adieu for the spring.

Since layering has been a favorite of mine this winter, it seemed only appropriate that there would be lots of layering this week. Even though spring is all about layering, there is a difference between layering because its freezing out and light layering during the day. This cable knit has been a favorite of mine, and paired with a red gingham button up, it screams winter layering. The spring version of this would be a lighter sweater and a brighter button up. 

Leather pants have also been a favorite of mine this winter. These ones are great because they are leather leggings and they aren't the typical black color. They are more of a dark brown which makes them look rich and pair with almost anything. Leather pants are so great because they add an extra element of texture to an outfit. It makes an outfit more complex and pulled together.

Happy Monday!

Cobalt and Bordeaux...

This color combo has quickly become one of my favorites. I find myself seeking out cobalt and bordeaux more than anything else lately! Even more than my tried and true pink. This color combo works so well because it is unexpected. The unexpectedness totally lends itself to the cool-girl vibe that's going on with the velvet pants and fur vest. And of course, I just had to put a hat on as well!

Have a fun weekend!

Pimpin' Textures....

The Lou and Grey line at The Loft is always a favorite of mine to find cozy, cute dresses. They are perfect for traveling or running errands. But, sometimes they are fun to dress up as well. I played off of the gorgeous texture in this dress and paired it with a black fur vest. The vest totally took the casual sweatshirt dress and made it appropriate for dinner or in my case a day at work! It is the coziest outfit I think I have ever worked in- it was like wearing a big sweatshirt with a fur vest. Nothing is better than looking cute, but feeling like you are in your pajamas! 

BareMinerals Complexion Rescue...

I was skeptical about BareMinerals latest venture into BB cream territory since that phase has kind of passed over. Even though it is a "tinted hydrating gel cream" it has the same principles as a BB cream. Which is why I was so surprised when I loved it SO much! 

The consistency is really light-weight but it does a surprisingly good job of covering. It evens out my skin tone without looking like I am actually wearing makeup. The brush that they are marketing with it has quickly become my favorite over all of my Sigma and Morphe brushes. It gives such a light weight, even, airbrushed finish when used with any foundation. 

Even if you are a die hard full coverage foundation girl, this is great for the summer or even layered as a primer underneath your foundation! 

Creme de la Creme....

This pink moto jacket really is the creme de la creme! (except for when it is -5 out) Even though it was freezing, this hot pink really brighten up the gloomy winter days! We can go weeks without sunshine in Upstate New York, so sometimes ya just need to make your own! It was refreshing to break out a bright, bold color to stand out against the other, classic black winter coats. I could wear this over everything and everything! It will be such a fun transitional piece to style into spring! 

Happy Fri(yay)!

It's Still Freezing...

This was probably the coldest day of the year and I just wanted to wear something big and cozy! But, I still had to go to work and sell pretty prom dresses so I wanted to look presentable! For me, this means a skirt. Skirts always make me feel pulled together but they are able to be paired with so much that it was perfect for this perdiciment. 

Since the sweater is so big (I got a medium so it would be cozy!) it had to be paired with a tighter skirt. The proportions would balance each other out to help the look come together. I kept the skirt plain because the gorgeous stripes and jewels on this sweater does all of the talking! To top it all of (literally) I paired the jeweled sweater with a grey jeweled headband. Not only did it match perfectly, but it kept my incredibly annoying bangs out of my face that I thought would be a great idea to cut myself! Never again!

Have a great week!

Valentine...

Happy Valentines Day!
