Pantone Colors of Spring 2015: Part 1

January 30, 2015

Sweatshirt // Pumps // Blush // Sunglasses // Skirt // Lipgloss // Heels // Backpack // Clutch

So I’m sure by now you’ve heard that marsala is the color of 2015, but if you feel like burning all your dark and gloomy shades of clothing right now, then I think you’ll appreciate Pantone’s color report for spring. The roundup features an eclectic mix of sixteen shades, which is described as minimalistic, understated and natural. It’s a breath of fresh air, which is why I’m rounding up some of my favorite pieces in my favorite hues.

Starting with the prettiest of the picks: Strawberry Ice (their names, not mine). You know that I’ve always been a sucker for bold and bright, but I’m actually loving this chilled out shade of pink. Of course, to keep things from looking a little too bubblegum, choose pieces with a little more edge (like this backpack or this graphic sweater) or something more minimalistic (like this clutch or these strappy heels).

If things still feel a little too Pretty Pretty Princess for you, you’ll probably enjoy Toasted Almond a little better. It’s warm, comforting and has a hint of a summer glow that brings balance to the rest of the lineup. I need these sneakers and this tote bag in my life.

Finally, there’s Dusk Blue. It’s calm, quiet and the perfect way to start injecting a little bit of spring into your winter wardrobe right now (new winter coat, anyone?). From strappy heels to lace up sneakers, if you’re still unconvinced that this is one cool shade, let this bag speak for itself.

That’s all I have for now, but stay tuned, because there are still 12 other shades to share! In the meantime, I want to know what’s your favorite color for spring? Leave a message in the comments below and have a wonderful weekend!

#TBT with Boohoo

January 29, 2015

Winter Storm Juno has come and gone and New York City is left to deal with the aftermath: dirty, slushy snow. It ain’t pretty, so I’m throwing it back to this past weekend (pre-blizzard alert). Because everyone loves a good #TBT, the team over at Boohoo challenged me to style a vintage-inspired look.

I saw this peter pan collared dress and immediately thought of Wednesday Addams from The Addams Family. I know, odd choice for style inspo, which is why I added my own twist. I went for navy, instead of black and paired the outfit with all brown accessories and a bold red lip. The end result? A look that was more classic prep than gothic chic.

Snow Day

January 28, 2015

As someone who has had ZERO snow days growing up, I have to admit: there’s nothing like waking up to a blanket of snow and an email saying that the office is closed for the day. Granted, instead of running outside to make snow angels, I was inside working remotely … but at least I got take my conference calls in pajamas all day.

Later in the afternoon, James and I ventured outside to grab coffee … and because I wanted an excuse to put on my cozy knit top and snow boots for the first time this season. By then, most of Winter Storm Juno had already turned into dirty slush, but it’s all good. I’ll just save the snow angels for the next blizzard!
