How to Wear: Winter Florals

Floral Shirt Dress & Winter Accessories

Floral Dress // Blue Sunglasses // Double Ring // Tote Bag // Booties

The East Coast might be on a blizzard alert right now, but I’ve got florals on the mind.  I’m so ready for bright blooms and bold colors, but sadly I think Mother Nature has other plans.  That’s okay though, because there are still plenty of ways to wear floral prints during the winter season.  I love this floral shirt dress with a pair of chunky black booties for a garden-party-meets-poetry-jam kind of look.  Is that even a thing?  Because it should be.

Floral Crossbody Bag & Black Dress

Swing Dress // Gemstone Necklace // Sunglasses // Floral Bag // Heels

If you’re looking for just a pop of print, this floral crossbody bag is it.  Let the cobalt and coral combo do all the talking and pair it with an easy swing dress and strappy heels.  This pretty print also comes in clutch, sandal and sneaker form and I will be taking one of each.

Stripes & Florals Outfit

Striped Sweater // White Jeans // Sunglasses // Handbag // Gold Watch // Floral Pumps

I’m also in the market for a floral pump.  It will literally put the pep in your step.  I love it with a preppy striped sweater and a pair of white skinny jeans for a look that says spring is coming and I’m not looking back.  Whatever look you prefer, I think it’s safe to say: winter needs to be over right now.  Fin.  Dunezo.  End scene.

Forest Green Sweater Coat

After finally investing in a puffer coat this winter, I’ve got to admit: I can’t believe I lasted two winters on the East Coast without one.  True story: during my first winter here, I was scolded by an elderly lady in a Dunkin’ Donuts for being out sans puffer.  So I’m sure she would fall out of her chair knowing that I wandered around the city in a sweater coat this weekend. #sorrynotsorry  It was a sunny 40°F outside yesterday, which is double what it has been averaging over the past couple weeks.  So even though there was a little bit of snow on the ground still, believe me when I say: I will take what I can get and shed the layers whenever I can.  Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Weekend Notes: 01.24.15

Have Less, Do Less Be More

Hands down, Saturday is my favorite day of the week.  It’s the one day of the week that I feel like the world is my oyster and the opportunities are endless. Despite the fact that it’s supposed to snow a sort of rain-slush mix today, I’m planning to get out of bed early to hit the gym and catch up on wedding planning, then grab brunch with a few favorites in the afternoon.  To get your day started, I’ve rounded up a little link love this week:

Let’s start off with this essay about 15 ways to avoid blogger burnout.  As someone who’s juggling a full-time job, blogging on nights and weekends and wedding planning in between, I don’t think I’ve read an article that has resonated so deeply before.  Even if you don’t blog, it’s still great insight into leading a happier, more well-balanced life.  Everybody wins!

A pop of red cured the winter blues earlier on the blog this week.  That’s why I need this sweatshirt and this flippy skirt in my life.

First C.Wonder, now Piperlime is shutting down by the end of April.  Times are rough, man.

It’s still only January, but florals are starting to bloom … in purses, pumps and pretty little skirts.

Because of this gadget, the fiancé and I have really stepped up our cooking game at home.  So far, we’ve made butternut squash and creamy tomato soup, but would love to hear your favorite recipes!

I scored this maxi dress and this lace cut-out number at the Rent the Runway sample sale this weekend.  If you’re in town, it’s worth the visit!

Abercrombie & Fitch was my first retail job in college, so it was interesting to read this article about the rise and fall of the brand.  Remember when we all wore ripped jeans, flip flops and popped collars?  No?  Me neither …

Not that I need any more leopard shoes, but damn.

Dying over how adorable Courtney looks in her Paris-meets-Brooklyn look.

This trench cape will be mine.

Our travel guide books for our honeymoon just came in, so you better believe we’re majorly wanderlusting this weekend.  Have you ever been to Greece or Italy?  We’d love your recommendations!
