Ten Ways to Update Your Spring Wardrobe

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10

It's April 1st and time to bring out all your favorite soft pastel pieces! Here are a few pieces to update your daily spring wardrobe and your everyday 9-5 outfits. This season I'm a huge fan on mixing pastels and neutrals.

What so great about these pieces is that they can be mixed with denim, faux leather and lots of accessories. If you're typically not a "pastel" girl, try out one piece this season. You'll be surprised how much you enjoying wearing the soft color this season.

Happy April Fool's Day!

Tibi Dress & Faux Fur Vest

 Winter is finally upon us! Hope everyone is staying warm. I thought I was ready for the cold weather, I was so wrong. My first glimpse of the cold was over the weekend. We went to Dana's engagement party in Brooklyn. She has such a beautiful view of the city. When we came back to Manhattan we wanted to grabbed a bite to eat. As we left Grand Central and headed to one of our favorite late night spots, my teeth started to chatter. At that moment, I started to dream about San Francisco. The breezy fifty degree weather doesn't seem that bad anymore.

The Tibi dress I wore a few months back during Lucky Fabb. The electric blue is so beautiful, especially during this time of the year when I find myself wearing black and grey, a lot. Of course the faux fur went perfectly with the dress. Not sure if you can see in the photos, but I have on tights. I found these over the summer and they seem to match perfectly with my skin. Still on the lookout for a nice pair of "skin color" tights. I have a feeling these Walgreen tights won't get me through this season. If anyone has suggestions, please let me know.

Mustard Tights & Faux Fur Vest

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi everyone! I've been out of pocket for the past few days attending the Lucky FABB event. There were so many great speakers at the conference. Looking forward to sharing some photos of Eva Mendas and Kate Bosworth. 

Today's outfit post is what I wore to the cocktail hour during Lucky FABB. These mustard color tights are my favorite. Color tights are so fun to wear during the fall and winter. I find it easiest to wear with simple black heels and skirt/dresses. This fall I'm going to try and push myself to be a little more creative with tights.

 Hello everyone! So excited to share today's photos. As most of you know, I'm all about accessories!  Vests, hats and statement necklaces are my favorite. For the longest time I was nervous about wearing hats and vests, thinking it was "too much". I'm not sure if it comes with age or living in New York, but I've really come to embrace this side of my style. 

I wore this outfit Saturday afternoon while shopping downtown. Since the weather is cooling off, I threw on this Zara vest and comfy boots and headed out the door. There is something so elegant about fur. Faux fur or real fur. The quality of faux fur is amazing nowadays, so don't be nervous about picking one up the next time you go shopping. You'll be surprised how much you love it! Yesterday I posted five of my favorite faux fur vests under $100. If you love real fur, I'd recommend going to a local thrift store. They always seem to have beautiful fur coats and vests from the 1950s and 1960s.

Place you could wear this outfit :: I really think you could wear this outfit always anywhere...except the office. This would be great to wear to weekend brunch, shopping with friends, girl's get together, any type of family event. You're able to take off the vest and put the belt around the cotton dress.

Hi everyone! Hope you like today's post. Yesterday I met up with Christine of Petite Hues and we took a few photos around the neighborhood. I got a chance to take her photos, as well. Taking photos in over the knee boots was difficult, but Christine and all the people watching had a good laugh.

Speaking of the over the knee boots...what do you think? I feel in love with these boots a few months ago and ever since then I've been on a wild goose chance trying to find them at H&M stores. One morning I was up early and they were back in stock! When they arrived in the mail I was so excited to wear them around the house, then I tried to wear them with a few dresses & skirts and it didn't fit my style. Since I'm 5'1 I thought I'd have problems finding the perfect outfit, but the classic skinny jeans looked great with my new favorite boots.

Nordstroms & Macy's have some really cute over the knee boots.

 Good morning everyone! Hope you had a good weekend. My weekend was action packed. One of my best friends was in town visiting from Salt Lake City. On Friday we had a beauty day. We got our brows done at Anastasia and then headed to the nail salon for shellac manicure. I got this color by Essie. It's a perfect transition color for the fall. We then headed out for dinner at a local Indian Restaurant and out for a few drinks. On Saturday we visited Highline and then had lunch at Cookshop. Great place to eat in the Chelsea area. Later in the evening we went to the Kaskade concert in Brooklyn. The Barclay's Arena is beautiful. I can't wait to go to a basketball game there! That night we met up with a group of our sorority sisters who live in NY. We had a blast! On Sunday we took it easy. She met up with a friend of hers at Iving Cafe. Her flight left in the early evening and I spent the rest of the evening watching football with Matt. Sundays are the best in the fall. :)

That now brings me to Monday morning...I opened my email this morning and got a few surprises! Here are a few sales that you must know about! 

Piperlime, which is my favorite online store is currently having a 30% sale on all items. So stock up ladies!!!

J. Crew is offering an additional 40% off sale items. If you have a J. Crew near you, I'd recommend stopping by the store. They always have great jewelry.  These pants I have in cropped tweed, but also love this length for fall and this shirt is perfect for the office. If you must splurge on a statement necklace, get this one!

  Hi everyone! So excited to post today's outfit. Yesterday Matt and I went to the Garment District and then headed to the Chelsea area to explore. The Garment District is great place for someone who loves crafts and sewing. There was inspiration all over the place! Our first stop was Bead World and got so many great ideas for statement necklaces and bracelets.  This winter when I'm stuck inside, I'll be spending a lot of time with my list of DIY projects. 

After the Garment Districts we headed to Chelsea Pier. There was so much going on in the area.  We stumbled up Chelsea Market and had a great time exploring. I also found a great sample sale. I spent 10 minutes in the sample sale and picked up two work dresses and a plaid coat. I've learned to be an efficient shopper when I'm with Matt.  After the Market we went to the High Line. The High Line Park is a 1-mile park built on a former elevated New York Central Railroad. It's such a beautiful green getaway in the middle of Manhattan.

In the mist of all of the exploring, we found a pier door that matches with my Zara midi. I loved wearing my Coach boots with the Zara skirt. The graphic tee made the outfit casual and perfect for strolling around New York City.
