Leather and LaceBack when I was in law school, I was all about the traditional pencil skirt — black, gray, navy and repeat. The classics are great, but pieces with a modern twist are what make getting dressed in the morning so fun.  These days, I gravitate toward pieces with a little more pizzazz and this skirt obviously fits the bill.  Berry, lace, leather trim – that’s the stuff dreams are made of.

Citrus Print Spring Trend

one | two | three | four | five | six | seven | eight

After surviving the most prolonged, brutal and bone-chilling winter in history (I tend to exaggerate when I whine), I think it’s safe to say we’re ready for brighter times ahead.  Even though it still doesn’t feel like spring in NYC, I can’t help but crave all things sweet and citrusy.

Citrus print isn’t anything new, but it’s back in full force this season.  I especially love the tangerine print blouse from J.Crew Factory and the lemon printed Keds for Kate Spade.  But if the quirky print (or an even quirkier straw clutch) isn’t you thing, you can still embrace one of my favorite spring trends with a punch of citrus color.
