snake print.

Nope, snake print isn’t just for Slytherin lovers.  The wild print has been popping up everywhere: in clothes, clutches, belts, and bags.  Personally, I think it looks classiest in a light, neutral color, making it an awesomely fierce alternative to the usual leopard look.

The general consensus: Mondays suck.  It means back to school or work for most and a whole ‘nother five days until it’s the weekend again.  And while we can’t escape the beginning of the week, we can certainly lessen the blow with some kickass heels.  With another long week ahead, these bright red suede pumps will surely help me start it off on the right foot.

work + play.

Working hard or hardly working?  That’s what my mother always jokingly (or maybe seriously …) asks me when I visit.  My standard answer: both.

The balance between work and play (with a slight tip toward the latter) is at the top of my priority list and fostering that business/pleasure equilibrium involves wearing outfits that transition easily from day to night.

Per usual, my 9-to-5 uniform starts with a skirt, but this time with a playful geometric pattern in a neutral palette.  I threw on a deep red boyfriend cardigan for a pop of color, classic closed-toe pumps, and a buttery yellow clutch.

After punching out, it’s time to play!  Happy hour, dinner with friends — you name it, I’m there.  The switch involves removing the cardigan, playing up the waist with a wide belt, and kicking off the pumps in exchange for some killer heels.  The darker clutch (thanks B!) ushers the pop of red into my nighttime look.

Now that we’re ready to hit the town … is it 5 o’clock yet?
