Black Moto Jacket & Skinny Jeans

I’m starting to see a recurring theme here: black and white on Monday, black and gray on Wednesday, and black and leopard today.  If you’re thinking I’m sick of black already, you’re probably right.  Don’t get me wrong, these black denim leggings have been a winter staple (and they’re on major sale now!), but I need a colorful breath of fresh air here.  I’m seriously counting down the days until I’m back on the West Coast next week (t-minus seven days!), where I can bask in bright colors, bare legs and beautiful, beautiful sunshine.  Until then, I might have to pull this peacoat out of wardrobe hibernation to keep sane.  Happy Friday, friends!

Jewel Toned Floral Skirt

There are two ways I usually wear my hair: pin-straight or in a loose curl.  As nuts as this might seem, I have never ever worn my hair up on the blog before and I rarely wear it up in real life (with the exception of the gym).  So when the team from The Stylisted swung by an NYFW pre-party hosted by Krista for hair and makeup, I figured: no time like the present (which is my grownup way of saying YOLO).

Emerald Spaghetti Strap Top & Gold Floral Skirt

So we indulged in mimosas (lots of them) and hairspray (lots of it) before heading over to the RewardStyle Party on the rooftop of Empire Hotel.  I decided on a messy low bun full of braids and enough volume to make my baby Bump-It (circa 2008) jealous.  It was the perfect updo to match my jewel-toned cami and floral pencil skirt, making for the kind of look that you wouldn’t expect had one too many cocktails all weekend long.  Cheers friends!

Black and White Criss Cross Tank

This past weekend, we headed upstate for the boyfriend’s family reunion.  It was a quick trip, but a refreshing respite from the daily grind.  It’s amazing how beautifully different it is outside of Manhattan, whether it’s a half hour or six hour drive away.  Note to self: get thyself outside of the city more often.

Weekend Road Trip Outfit

Whenever we do hit the road, comfort is key.  I picked up this slouchy striped tank right before our trip, because it’s the kind of top that weekends are made of: loose, laid-back and ready to be lived in.  Now, can the week hurry up and be Friday already??
