Outfit Planning: Rainy Day

March 28, 2014

Dressy Rainy Day Outfitone | two | three | four | five | six

The good news: the weekend’s here.  The bad news: a forecast of rain through Monday.  But just because I complain about the weather (pretty much all the time lately) doesn’t mean I let it get the best of my weekend plans or outfits.  Give me a pair of embellished rubber flats (or killer boots!), a waterproof bag and a trusty ol’ umbrella and I’m out the door.  I’ll take rain over snow any day!

Spring Trends: Citrus Print

March 25, 2014

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.
