Happy Friday, friends! I'm typically drawn to soft romantic colors, but every now and then I love to spice it up with a bold and dramatic outfit. Enter this chic ruffled top with a bright cherry red skirt. Its a look that screams care free summer time fun. I'm wearing an XS in the top. It's fantastic for the transition weather seeing as how it has long sleeves too. Speaking of the weather, I've been absolutely adoring the warm weather (hello 70 degrees!) we've been having lately! I make sure to get Ava and I out everyday to enjoy it. Sadly, I think we're still in for at least one more snow storm. The temperature is supposed to drop back down on Sunday. Anyway, the subtle blue and white stripes on the top also caught my eye. I'm a big fan of blue and white clothing, especially in the spring and summer. There's some great blue and white pieces out there right now that I have my eye on. It reminds me the beach, summer, and Cape Cod in particular. Now, I'm really wishing it were summer already!

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! Is anyone else going to be watching The Oscars this Sunday? I simply cannot wait! I watch the awards show every year. It's the ultimate for any movie fans out there.

New LC Lauren Conrad Handbag and Fine Jewelry Line

in ,

White Lace Dress c/o (Similar) || Jean Jacket c/o || Pink Heels || LC Lauren Conrad Mini Tote c/o || Sunglasses || LC Lauren Conrad White Gold Necklace c/o || Christian Paul Watch c/o || Rose Gold Love Bangle || Jackie Kennedy Unity Band || Jackie Kennedy Emerald Unity Band || Lip Color: Ava ||

Today is a very exciting day! One of my favorite brands, LC Lauren Conrad has recently launched a new handbag line and beginning in March, a new fine jewelry line. I remember when there were rumors of a handbag line being added to the apparel at Kohls and I could not contain my excitement. The handbag collection will be refreshed each month with brand new styles including clutches, crossbodies, satchels and totes. The inspiration for the handbags includes vintage details, feminine, easy shapes, marrying back to the apparel in the LC Lauren Conrad brand. Prices will typically range from $39-$89, which is a steal for a well made bag. I'm personally loving the mini tote I have above. The blush shade with rose gold hardware and floral design is simply stunning! It's so versatile for spring and summer.

As I mentioned, along with the new handbags is also a fine jewelry line. Jewelry styles will include rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets and cuffs in either 10 karat gold, rose gold or white jewelry. The types of gem stones included will be diamonds, green amethyst, morganite, blue topaz, and purple amethyst. Prices for the jewelry line will range from $340-$2,525. I cannot wait to see the entire jewelry collection once it launches in March. The necklace I'm wearing above is fabulous for everyday wear with its delicate details and diamond accent in 10k white gold.

Both collections will be available in select Kohl’s stores nationwide and on Kohls.com

Red, White, and Blue Tweed Blazer

in ,

Happy Wednesday, friends! It seems that I've been having quite a thing for tweed blazers lately and can you blame me really?! They're one of my favorite layering pieces when the weather starts changing and a heavier coat is not longer needed. They always feel incredibly chic and give a nod to the lovely ladies of the past. While I typically think of a tweed blazer or jacket in the fall, it can also be worn as a transition piece into the spring as long as the colors feel light and airy. This jacket would also be fantastic for those cool summer nights where a little extra warmth is needed. The red, white, and blue color scheme has nautical and patriotic vibes all rolled into one and for only $40, its a piece that won't brake the bank. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the jacket too. The fix is a bit boxy, but I've found that to be the norm when selecting tweed jackets. I'm wearing an XS, which fit perfectly.

Chanel Inspiration

in ,

Happy Friday, friends! This look was super easy to put together and at a great price tag too! Those are always the beat kind aren't they?! The look has that classic Chanel feel to it with clean lines, tweed, and the prettiest little bow tie. Now, the tie looks like its a part of the jacket, but its actually on the dress. The jacket buttons up right to the bow. The faux fur on the jacket gives the outfit a whimsical touch too, always a favorite of mine! The dress comes in at $24, while the jacket is $36. An absolute steal for both and with pieces that can be used again and again. I'm wearing an XS in both pieces.

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! We're supposed to be getting some warmer temps so if you live near by then make sure you get some time to spend outside.

Spring Time Feeling

in ,

Whenever the weather turns nice, I instantly feel the need to pull out all of my dresses and skirts. Spring fever hit yesterday and boy did it feel good! I do have to say that so far we have had a mild winter, which I love, and have even had some warm days mixed in with the blustery cold. I'm not complaining, haha. With some warmth in the air, I grabbed this peony printed midi skirt along with this striped bow tie top. I've always been a big fan of pairing blue and pink together. It's one of my favorite color combinations and one that I use quite frequently. Pretty much every girl I ran into while out also loved the skirt. You know its a winner when that happens! For sizing, I'm wearing a xs and found it to fit perfectly at my waist.

Plaid on Plaid

Happy Tuesday, friends! I hope everyone had a fun weekend and if you watched the Super Bowl, that you enjoyed the game. I didn't really see any outstanding commercials this year, but the last half of the game was pretty exciting to watch! How about it being the first time ever in Super Bowl history that the game went into overtime too?! I'm a sucker for little historical facts like that. They get me every time haha.

I'm not going to lie, it was absolutely freezing outside the day I wore this outfit. I honestly should have had gloves on because my hands felt like icicles. Plaid is one of those patterns I'm guessing everyone has at least one item of in their wardrobe. It's a classic and has become a staple to wear in the fall and winter months. It's also a pattern that mixes well with others, say leopard, polka dots, or itself as I have above. I love how vibrant the pop of yellow is against the backdrop of blue, black, and white. It brightens up the whole look and stands out from the crowd. Over the knee boots are a lifesaver in the colder temps too. My legs definitely thanked me for having them on! Not only that, but they create a sleek and streamlined appearance making your legs look longer than they actually are. Win win for us shorter gals!

Weekend Style

in ,

Happy Friday!! This Sunday is Superbowl Sunday, which means hopefully a good game and some pretty awesome commercials. I'll be rooting for the Patriots. Anyone else excited for the big game??

A combo I'll never tire of is stripes with anything haha. Honestly, you can never go wrong with stripes. I layered up with a military jacket topped off with my camel coat. I know I had mentioned before how I typically never used to wear sneakers, but lately companies have really been stepping up their game in the sneaker department. There are so many chic choices now a days! These are a subtle pink and fit true to size.

Just a quick post for today. I hope everyone enjoys their weekend and if you're watching the Super Bowl then I hope you have fun watching the game! Go Patriots!!

Mommy And Me Valentine's Day

in ,

Oh my little Ava bug. These are always my favorite kinds of posts to do. The whole time I was like, oh I love you so much Ava and she kept eyeing the cupcakes haha. She had cake on her first birthday, but this was the first time she had cupcakes and let me tell you, she LOVED them! As you can see from most of the photos, she's holding one and has icing all over her mouth. They were Ava approved! I tried to get our dresses to match as best I could too. I really want to find a store that specializes in matching mother daughter outfits. My dress is an old one from Modcloth. Ava's is a recent one from The Children's Place.

Every Valentine's Day I pretty much prepare the same treats and make sure the house has pretty flowers throughout it. While many feel this may be a "hallmark" holiday, I see it as a day to celebrate all of the love you have in your life. In grade school, we handed out valentines to our friends and as we grew older, we started celebrating with significant others. Whether it be your husband, wife, best friend, mother, father, brother, sister, daughter, or son, you can celebrate with any of these people and show them that you care. The list can go and on and on!

Winter Florals

in ,

Happy February 1st friends! In the blink of an eye, the first month of the year is already behind us. It's crazy how fast time moves. Is everyone sticking to their New Years resolutions or at least thinking about them? Usually by this time you've already tried to do something or its been a forgotten thing of the past, haha. I was honestly never one to even make resolutions so there's no judgement from me. This month also features Valentines Day! It's always been one of my favorite holidays to celebrate whether you're with a significant other or not.

Perhaps with the holiday on my mind, I dressed up this past weekend in shades of blush with darker florals for the winter season. I honestly have had this dress for a little while, which it is on major sale right now!, but just had not photographed it yet. I've worn it to family gatherings, coffee dates, pretty much any social gathering you can think of. it's a fantastic dress to take you from fall, to winter, and into spring. How about these shoes too?! My eyes nearly bugged out when I saw them. That little fluffy pom pom on the toe is everything. If you do not wear high heels often, these may be a bit tricky to wear. They're on the higher side. They do take some time to break in too. Once I wore them around for a few hours, they felt much better on. Sizing was also true to size for me.
