Snow Daze

Still recovering from the 30+ inches that hit us all day Tuesday.  But I love any excuse to wear these boots (first debuted here) and warm, winter layers....

Manic Monday

I guess you could say I'm gravitating towards a black-white-red color palette lately (proof here and here).  Its a classic combo.

I'm loving this vest because of the endless possibilities: pair with a white sweater or button-down, a chambray, stripes, leopard.. etc.  You could even be a bit daring and pair it with a larger buffalo plaid shirt, like these here or here.  And since the vest is on crazy sale, you can't go wrong.

Juxtaposed

You know the best part about Thursday?  Tomorrow is Friday!  This look sends major 'casual' Friday vibes with the prim & pleated top, juxtaposed with totally destroyed denim.  This look can take you from day to night.  I can't wait to break in these jeans a bit more - stretch 'em out a bit and rip 'em up a bit more.  What do you think?  And what are your plans for the weekend?  More importantly, what are you going to wear??

Varsity

Hey everyone.  I hope you had a fabulous weekend!  It always seems to go by too fast...  Anywho, I'm sharing my favorite new sweater today: this cricket v-neck from Nordstrom.  Of course, the black and white combo immediately caught my attention when I walked past it.  The black/white stripe combo screams varsity tennis (or perhaps cricket?).  But once I tried it on, the slouchy, slightly over-sized fit totally sealed the deal.  I had to have it.  Does that ever happen to you?   Do tell...

Fab Favorites Link Up

Today, I'm co-hosting a pretty fabulous Link Up with Lauren of Style Elixir and Michelle from Michelle's Paige.  In honor so, I decided to share a pretty fabulous Camel Duster Coat.  I'd been searching for the perfect Camel coat, and after many, many pinterest searches, I found this one on Forever21.com.  To my dismay, it was sold out online!  But to my surprise, I randomly stumbled upon it in store at my local mall.  It surely is a closet staple that every girl should have.

Pops of Pink

Yep, more pink today!  I incorporated pops of pink from top to bottom: sunglasses, blouse, nails and boots.  It sounds strange to think of snow boots as a closet staple, but up here in N.E., quality snow boots are oh-so-important.  I've never had a 'real' pair (that I can remember, at least).  That's why I'm so excited for these.. Believe it or not, I've been dying for snow so that I could finally wear these classic Sorel boots!  I know these boots will last years and years, both keeping me warm and dry (so important!)  Plus, the subtle pink accents allows the boots to be girly without being too girly, ya know?   I'm sure I'll be wearing these all day tomorrow since winds chills of -21 degrees are expected.   Brrrr.   

Don't forget to check back on Friday.  I'll be sharing a new, super cute outfit and co-hosting a 'Fab Favorites' blog link up!  Happy Hump Day.
