Colorful Gestures
Aye, some proper apologies are due around this neck of the woods. Excuse my sparse posting from last week- winter break officially kicked in and with Christmas three days away, the festivities kicked in as well.
For keeping warm, as of late, I've been turning to XXL scarfs that cocoon my face. You can forgo the puffer jacket when a thick cashmere scarf is in the picture. Along with this colorful option, a camel cooconer is not only more versatile but also on point with the "whats what" at the moment.
I'll be switching between the two all winter long, but this pop o' purple? 'Tis the day to color! (as the rest of my outfit is monotoned.... baby steps, baby steps)

Camel Affair
Wearing: Zara coat, T by Alexander Wang- sold out, similar (Friday's look), Club Monaco leggings (from last year, but just bought these), Stan Smith sneakers, Jules Smith choker (favorite piece)
Shh!! I'm cheating on gray with camel. Cue a color war, and I'm going neutral.
I couldn't help myself with the puns, guyysss...
Putting my hysterically funny self aside, this outfit is one of the two assembles I tend to wear the most. Well, I wouldn't necessarily count my XL sweatshirt and sailing sweats a "fashion forward" assemble, but just role with me here. The awkward limbo period between seasons (side note: it was snowing yesterday, hi winter) calls for formulaic dressing of t-shirts and basics; hence here.

Right On Track
This past weekend, Mother Nature proved she didn't hate us and brought us a dose of sunshine. Then bam, it's snowing today. Alas, this past weekend gave us a little hope that Spring is on track towards us. On the topic of on track, these Nike kicks have stolen my heart. With my personal style being much more simple nowadays, I am thrilled that sporty style is not going anywhere.

Contrast
Photos by Lydia Hudgens
If you ever look at a compelling outfit there is always some contrast. The outfit is full of different elements that seemingly work together. The pairing of these separates was quite spontaneous. And no surprise, they are all favorites in my wardrobe. I didn't notice until writing this post the contrast between each item from heavy knit to sleek leather and the mixing of prints. Having variation in my outfits is what I find keeps them interesting (I hope so at least!) and when it happens accidentally it is even better. Have a great weekend. x

Hello Winter | Insta Snaps

Winter has officially arrived in New England. Playing in the snow will never get old and bundling up to just go to the car won't either. Yesterday, I went cross country skiing in the backyard- it was tons of fun but hard work! I can't wait to get back on the actual mountain shortly. Follow along on Instagram for snowy snaps. Shop cozy items for braving the chill below:

November Lusts
PB Teen x Emily & Meritt pillow // Rag & Bone denim jacket // Love and Lemons crop top and skirt // Nars "Train Bleu" // Fresh lip balm // YSL "Naughty Mauve" // Diptyque candles- out next week
How in the world is it November?! October flew by- my birthday feels like ages ago. I would be lying if I said I wasn't excited for this month. It's the beginning of the holiday season (53 days 'till Christmas!) and the weather becomes absolutely perfect. Above I'm sharing everything I'm loving this month. Holiday candles are burning in my room- the new Diptyque ones are my favorite! I've been wearing a darker lip more than normal. For someone who only wears lip balm, it's quite different. I am slowly changing up my room- needlepoint pillows add character and cheekiness to any room. Blair Eadie launched her Bauble Bar collection earlier this week- this happy necklace is a favorite piece of mine! Matching crop tops and skirts are my new favorite combo- a neutral color like grey makes them chic not trashy. Cute beanies are perfect for staying warm and cute (the sparkle adds a nice touch). Hope you have a great weekend!

Currently Coveting
Book // Sweater // Bracelet // Gloves // Nail Polish // Pendant // Purse // Skirt // Sunglassses // Leggings
I mentioned last week how much I'm digging Mango, this skirt is near the top of my wish list. Alexa Chung is one of my top style icons. She embodies a cool/French girl/it Brit/tomboy perfectly; I desperately want to pick up her new book "It". I did a massive jewlery purge over the weekend (selling some of Poshmark) and want to add these two pieces from Julie Vos and Loren Hope to my collection. A classic black bag is the ideal for fall and winter. Same with a cream cashmere knit- wouldn't it look great with leather leggings?! The days are becoming shorter and not to mention, chillier. These playful leggings from Zoe Karseen make loungewear stylish. When I'm out and about, leather gloves keep the hands warm and underneath theem- navy nails. Lastly, black sunglasses are a must have for everyone.

Fall Essentials
Every season I purchase a couple of essentials that I can wear different ways. Over time, my style is constantly evolving but during the fall I tend to gravitate towards classic pieces- blazers, rich colors, riding boots- and a little bit of minimalistic edginess. In my closet this year, there are two standout items- leather leggings and black riding boots. If you saw my birthday list last week, I asked for gorgeous Stuart Weitzman boots and lucky me- See them on the blog soon! As for leather leggings, my collection is growing- I have been wearing these Club Monaco pair way too often and I could use another pair, so I turn to Rank and Style.

Leather Edge
I've dabbled with leather a little bit but I am completely smitten with these leggings from Club Monaco. Surprisingly, they can be mixed and match to create many different looks. I kept it classic with a white blouse and navy blazer, essentially letting the pants make the statement.
I have two announcements to make. Congratulations to Frannie for winning the J.Crew giveaway! Thank you for entering and check Caroline's blog to see the other winner- it could be you. Also, I've joined Tumblr- head to there to see more inspo and daily musings.

Floral Shirtdress
Club Monaco Shirtdress // Vince Sandals // Urban Outfitters Sunglasses // Design Darling Monogrammed iPhone Case
// Julie Vos Bangles c/o // Loren Hope Link Bracelet // Bauble Bar Cuff // Hermes Bracelet // Urban Outfitters Spike Bracelet // Catbird "Star" Ring
I have always loved a good shirtdress. They are perfect for the days when you want to look put together without tons of effort. I fell in love with this printed Club Monaco dress. It cinches a little bit at the waist and the length is just right. Shirtdresses are also great for traveling. This August, my family and I going to Provence and St.Tropez for vacation. An easy shirtdress will be ideal for touring and walking around! You can pair them with easy flats and straw tote for day. At night, switch out flats for heeled sandals, and add a few baubles. I've included a few shirtdresses that I love below!

Spring Fling
Parker Dress (love this one) // Club Monaco Jacket // Loeffler Randall Rider Bag // Marc by Marc Jacobs Sunglasses (old) // Pour La Victoire Heels // Michael Kors watch // Essie "Flirt"
During the Spring, there is nothing I love more than to wear a silky, printed dress with a structured jacket. This beautiful Parker dress was a Christmas present from my brother, that has been in my closet. I love the print, it reminds me of watercolor paintings. I paired the dress with two updated classic pieces; a tweed jacket and a neutral bag. This Club Monaco jacket (which I scored on an amazing sale) is the perfect Spring outer piece. The bright color is super wearable and you can also layer the jacket during the colder months.
I have been coveting Loeffler Randall purses! I have been saving my pennies for the Rider bag and last week I went ahead and splurged on it! Seriously, I'm in love! It's the ideal size and the neutral color works all year round. Hope you all have had a good weekend!
