Over the past few weeks, temps have been fluctuating from 50°F to 20°F, leaving me barelegged one day and bundled up on another. I think I speak for all of us when I say we’re ready to get off this climatic rollercoaster.
So in honor of the first day of spring, I’m breaking out the floral prints. It might not be warm enough to fly solo, but a classic trench coat and bright pink lipstick make the transition between seasons slightly more bearable. Here’s hoping the weather follows suit soon!

dress | booties | heels | wedges
It might not feel like it, but the official first day of spring is this Thursday and that’s the kind of occasion that calls for a new pair of shoes! So whether you’re ready for open toes or not, there are three pairs that will get through every kind of occasion this season.
Shoe #1: The Bootie. Tired of wearing boots all winter long? I feel your pain lady. It’s not quite warm enough to bare my toes in NYC, so I’m gravitating toward a chunky heeled bootie (my current go to right here!). I especially love them paired with a simple black dress and sans tights. And the silver lining: booties season will give me some extra time to get my life together and give myself a pedicure!
Shoe #2: The Ankle Strap Heel. I’m such a sucker for an ankle strap! Whether they’re sleek and sultry to chunky and color blocked, I love that they how much they elevate an outfit. If you’re on the more petite side, go for a thinner the strap.
Shoe #3: The Strappy Wedge. To all my Arizona friends who were already poolside back in January, you’ve probably skipped spring and headed straight into summer. I’m slightly envious and counting down the days that I get to break out the strappy wedges. I usually stumble around in heels, but wedges (especially a low wedge!) will always be jam.
What’s your shoe situation right now? I’d love to hear what kind of kicks you’re looking forward to wearing this spring!

year one | shirt | dress | bracelet | bag | shoes
On Tuesday, I picked an outfit from each year of blogging to compare how my style has evolved over the years. In honor of my blog turning three tomorrow, I’m doing it again! #TBT anyone?
Let’s start with one of my favorite mixed print combos of all time: gingham and floral! I’d still rock the duo today, but would probably pare down on the color palette. Pinks and nudes make for a sophisticated color scheme, but the prints are just as fresh.
year two | jacket | dress | bag | shoes
In year two, I fell in love with the jean jacket (I had never own one before that!) and was throwing it on over every dress in my closet. I’m still in love with the denim topper, but I want to try my hand at a bright white jacket this spring.
year three | dress | necklace | bag | shoes
And finally, I wore this bright and/or blinding number in year three. I can’t wait to bust out the neons again this spring/summer, but am leaning towards tangerine as my weapon of choice.
If you haven’t figured it out by now, there are a few things about me that will always be constant: my panache for prints and my love for color. But beyond that, my personal style is always changing and I can’t wait to see how it transforms for years to come. Thanks for following along!
