LOFT Spring Chambray Shirts

This week, I …

• Started to think about spring outerwear and set my eyes on this polka dot trench, this ivory faux leather jacket and this denim jacket.  I can’t wait to ditch my wool coats!

Hit the slopes and went skiing with Tracy for the first time in two years.  My legs felt like noodles for days — a clear indication that I’m not as spritely as I used to be.

• Just added this organic face mask to my green beauty arsenal.  I tried it out last night and my skin felt so refreshed!

• Have no interest in going back to school, but am obsessing over this striped backpack.

• Celebrated Galentine’s Day with a brunch hosted by one of my favorite ladies.  Bottomless margaritas?  Yes please!

• Finished season two of House of Cards over the week and need another show to get fixated on.  Suggestions are welcomed!

• Started planning out a few spring-inspired outfits.  For more inspiration, check out my Spring Style board on Pinterest!

• Added these mirrored aviators and these tortoise sunnies to my must have eyewear for spring/summer.

• Plan to add plenty of printed pants into my spring wardrobe.  I’m loving these leopard, windowpane, and floral pairs.

• Felt a hint of spring in the city on a Friday night and fell in love with NYC all over again.

This week, I …

• Got a little shoe shopping happy with an additional 30% off Madewell’s sale items.  I scooped up a pair of cognac biker boots and leopard haircalf flats.

•  Experienced my very first snow days!  EVER.  I mean, I’m not mad that this turned into a five day weekend, but I am sick of the whole polar vortex schtick.

• Am celebrating Valentine’s Weekend with the beau.  On Friday, I treated him to dinner out and tonight, he’s whipping me a special homemade meal.  Role reversal FTW!

• Made my very first foray into the world of cropped tops and it’s not as scandalous as I thought!  What fashion risks have you taken lately?

• Tested out my new camera backstage at the Diego Binetti runway show.  Such a fun way to experience NYFW!

• Found the perfect coat and handbag for spring — now, if only the weather would take a cue.

• Am debating on buying these tartan print loafers.  They’re on major sale right now, but do I need them?  Can I wear them this spring or will I need to wait until fall?  What do you think?

• Played local tourist in front this amazing mural on the corner Bowery and Houston.  It was the perfect backdrop for a street style-inspired outfit!

• Am heading over to J.Crew to take an additional 50% off sale items!  I’ve got my eye on these leopard wedges, this contrast collar coat, and this swiss dot dress.

• Just joined The StyleUp, a fun style inspiration site that gives you outfit and shopping recommendations based on your taste and weather.  Check it out and you might find a few outfit shots from yours truly!

This week, I …

• Am heading over to Kate Spade where they’re offering 20% off your purchase today only!  On my wish list: this red bow bagthis hot pink skirtthese two toned pumps and pretty much everything else in their new arrivals.

• Shared my latest color crush.  What do you think of this ultra feminine hue?

• Think I’m ready to make my foray into cropped tops.  I love the idea of pairing this top with this skirt.

• Discovered (the hard way) that airport security is not a big fan of statement necklaces.

• Learned that I will forever be a sucker for black and white stripes.

• Am officially sick of winter.  Bright blooms and bold colors from here on out!

• Wish I could justify buying this insane floral jacket or this gorgeous floral skirt, but for now, I’m just going to ogle them from afar.

• Watched the Super Bowl — and by “watched,” I mean occasionally looking up at the screen when a cute commercial came on.  But I did pick the Seahawks to win, because I love me an underdog.

• Am swooning over this black and white windowpane dress.  Tres chic!

• Flew to Raleigh, NC on my first day of the new job for a leadership conference.  I feel so inspired and lucky to be a part of such an amazing brand!
