A Little Bloom

If you look closely (and there are close up shots below) I'm sporting a pretty little cherry blossom pin last seen here , that fit right through preexisting openings in this doily-esque collar. Putting a bit of dainty spin on this preppy, semi-tailored, totally nautical outfit.  blazer-Tory Burch(similar here ), top-Boden(similar here ), pants- Everlane , pin- Shiny Apple , loafers- Madewell I picked up this designer blazer second hand at the Fashion Fix Boutique  and I first featured this number several years ago here . It never fails to polish up a look, and while oversized blazers are more on trend, a fitted tailored traditional blazer helps provide shape and balance to these barrel leg pants.

April Showers Bring May Flower Overalls

On this last day of April I wanted to share this ready-for-the-rain outfit! Wore this on what we starting calling a "Cutey Day" when you go to cute shops, drink cute coffee, buy cute things, have a cute look. We explored one of our favorite neighbors, Lawrenceville and shopped small.  rain jacket--Asos(similar here ), overalls- Cider , shirt-Gap(similar here ), sunnies- Diff Eyewear , earrings-- Amazon , necklace-- Boheme Vendor , boots-Nordstrom(similar here ) I usually wear these overalls in the fall, as seen in this post here . But they are actually kind of ideal for spring, no? Went with a basic top, pop-of-color boots, and black floral jewelry. The polka dot rain coat, was of necessity, but I think it actually works for a fun bit of pattern mixing/contrast.  Check out the shop small/shop local haul over on Instagram here . 

Stripes & Leopard Print

 Another post in front(ish) of a river. This time the Allegheny with PNC Park in the background. Shooting downtown always yields striking pics. This is what I wore for the Mae Martin show The Possum at the Byham Theatre last week.  cardi / earrings --Amazon, turtle shell-Gap(more turtles here ), pants- Uniqlo , sunnies- Diff Eyewear , necklace-Slide Jewels(similar here ), bracelet / ring -Ana Luisa, tote- Handsome Podcast , sneaker-Cole Haan(more options here ) These pants are part of  "matching set" featured here . I love the idea of olive green with graphic black and white stripes, just feels so fresh, but easy. These leopard print sneakers stand out, while also being seamlessly part of the outfit.  My tote is from the Handsome Podcast which Mae is one of the co-host, but even if we weren't attending the show, I think the bag still works no matter the destination of the look. 

Jumpsuit into Spring

Spring is here and with it so many different outfitting challenges. Pittsburgh spring is manic. One day it's sunny with a  high of 70, that evening tornado watches and lighting storms, the morning after cloudy and chilly. And of course, winds all around. But with a killer jumpsuit I'm ready to face whatever the forecast brings.  jumpsuit- Verity & Daughters , sunnies-Versace(similar here ), necklace-Banana Republic(similar here ), ring / bracelet --Ana Luisa, bag- Everlane , boots-Vince Camuto from Nordstrom(similar here and here )  God, do I love a jumpsuit, or in this case coveralls/overalls. I've featured various jumpsuit looks over the years as seen here , here , and here . I love the pockets and adjustable nature of this jumpsuit from the independent brand Verity & Daughters  and am very much digging the colorblock/patchwork aesthetic which in it's way speaks to the changeable weather of this season.  The buttons pair up beautifully with these west...
