color + class.

Last week, I loaded up my outfits with major doses of color.  This week, I’m toning it down slightly — keeping my outfits bright, but grounded in neutral pieces.    Color and class aren’t mutually exclusive.  And whether you prefer to go all out or just add a few pops, there’s an appropriate level of color for everyone.

label love: j.crew

Skirt The Rules Blog; NYC fashion blogger; style blog; online shopping; J. Crew spring collection; J.Crew Pixelated Houndstooth Skirt; J.Crew Fan Fringe Statement Necklace; J.Crew Beaded Rose Statement Necklace; J.Crew Liberty Perfect Shirt in Floral Print; J.Crew Medallion Paisley 3" Shorts

It’s no secret that I have a slight obsession with J.Crew.  And by slight, I mean debilitating.  The bright colors, playful prints, and impeccable styling keep me coming back season after season.  And even though their price point is usually way out of my budget, J.Crew constantly adds new items to their sale section and frequently offers additional discounts.

I often find myself visiting their stores (there’s almost 10 in the city!), browsing their style guides (aka catalogs) and trolling their website on a weekly basis.  Like I said — it’s slight obsession, but when the markdowns start rolling in, I know exactly what I want.  Check out a few of my favorite pieces from the label’s spring collection and let me know which ones you’re lusting after.

what to wear: valentine’s day 2013.

Wonder saffiano leather clutch in bubblegum pink; Julep Ava light pink nail polish; Steve Madden Caril cutout oxfords in glitter gold

I have mixed feelings about Valentine’s Day — it feels forced, overhyped, and usually way overpriced.  With that said, I still can’t help but get a little excited over getting into the spirit, dressing up and running down aisles flowing with chocolate (Hershey Hugs!).  Whatever your take on V-Day is, I put together two outfits that should get you through the dreaded and/or beloved day.
