A Bit of a Spring Awakening

Hello! Oh my, winter is rough and life has been busy, and at the same time the days move at a glacier's pace. Yes, it has been quite some time since my last post, which if we're being honest, was a bit lack luster. And probably no one may even be reading this, but it was a gorgeous over this past weekend, I wore this dress and coat combo and got some pictures! 
















Wind Gust!


coat-H&M(similar here), dress-Nordstrom Rack(similar here), sunnies-DIFF Eyewear, earrings-Etsy, necklace-J.Crew Factory(similar here), belt-Gap(more belts here), boots-Sam Edelman via Nordstrom

I picked this dress up on boxing day, aka December 26th at my local Nordstrom Rack. I posted about that excursion on Instagram for those who follow me there. I love how this works as both a winter and spring look with the black background of the floral. So far the handful of times I've worn this frock I've coordinated the styling in black, but there are other tones in the pattern, like the pastel pinks and blues, or the more acidy yellow that could be striking on the accessories front as the season transitions. I'm also loving the plaid coat with the floral. 

Hopefully, with the warmer weather I'll be able to get pics and post more often as we roll into spring. Thanks for reading!

  1. I love the floral print, gathering, and styling at the neckline of that very pretty dress from Nordstrom Rack,
    the styling of the belt from Gap that you cinched it in at the waist with,
    and the jewellery you accessorised it with.
    You look fabulous wearing it styled with the coat from H+M.
    Best wishes for a fashiontastic Spring!

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look.  And now for your viewing pleasure  Sweet Dreams:   Have a great weekend!

Hamptons-Poolside-Chic meets Sue Ellen Ewing Early '80's Realness

Okay, this post title is ridiculous I know, BUT come on, it's accurate am I right? blouse- JOA via Le Tote , necklace/bracelet- Le Tote , trousers- Zara , belt-J.Crew,(similar here ) wedges- Sole Society These pleated drapey pants scream early 80's glamour. Paired with this sailor-suit-esque blouse I was definitely ready for a seaside cocktail party, right? This outfit also called to mind the elegance of early 80's  Dallas .  It has been my experience that as a child of the 80's one's house was either in the Dallas camp or the Dynasty camp. We were a Dallas household for sures. So, one of my earliest style influences was Sue Ellen Ewing . Despite the pills, the booze, the philandering husband, and lost potential of a life on her own terms Miss Sue Ellen kept it quite fierce especially in the early years of the show.  Here she is serving up sternum-baring chic!  I tried to watch the reboot of the series on TNT, but I just couldn...

Cowboy Boots & Floral Skirts

Western wear has seen a resurgence here with the Cowboy Carter of it all, among other influences. I'm not one for cowgirl cosplay, but I do enjoy a good boot. Here I've styled by western boots with a mixed print autumnal outfit.  Blazer-- Luciano Barbera via Threadflip(now defunct), henley-Gap(similar here ), shirt-Uniqlo(similar here ), skirt- Amazon , boots-Coconuts via DSW(similar here ), necklace/bracelet- Slide Jewelry , ring/necklace-Ana Luisa(similar here and here ) I last featured these boots in a spring/summer look here . And I styled them with this same skirt back in April here . While this top is part of a "matching set" featured here  I'm doing the classic styling hack of "breaking it up" and the olive green coordinates with the skirt. You can watch my reel of the cinching drawstring features of this shirt here .  Again I'm wearing the promotional Slide Jewelry set.
