Outfit Planning: Maxi Dresses

April 22, 2014

Midi skirts might be my thing right now, but this spring, I’m also on the hunt for the perfect maxi dress (haven’t worn one in almost a year). Dress it up or dress it down, wear it day or night — maxi dresses are a one stop shop with so many ways to wear. So when I find one that I love (like this printed piece or this lounge-y number), I plan on living in it all spring and summer.

Spring Staple: Anorak Jackets

April 8, 2014

Not trying to jinx anything here, but this week, I’m officially storing my winter coats for hibernation. It’s time to break out the lightweight outerwear and while I love myself a classic trench coat, I have my eyes on a different kind of jacket this season: the anorak. It’s part utility, but full on fashion with plenty of ways to wear it.

First up: a flirty feminine look. I’m loving the blush anorak jacket from LOFT, but Topshop makes a great alternative. Pair it with a white lace dress and a pair of strappy wedges and you’re basically the epitome of spring.

I also dig the laid back look and nothing’s more classic than a color combo of navy, white and cognac. Throw on a pair of Chucks (I’ve owned mine for over a decade!) and it doesn’t get much easier than that.

What do you think of the anorak jacket? I’d love to hear how you’d style them!

Polka Dot Wellies

April 2, 2014

It’s not often that I get excited about rain, especially when it falls on the weekend … all weekend long. But I’m trying to cut down on my weather whining and put two positive spins on last weekend’s storms. First: Rain is better than snow. Second: I got to take my new rain boots out for a spin.
They’re an instant pick me up. Even on a gloomy weekend like last week’s, I couldn’t help but smile at the darling polka dot print. Now, I’m not saying I’m thrilled about the rain forecasted for the rest of the week, but at least I’m prepared to splash through puddles in style.
