Cool & Casual

Happy Monday, everyone  (If the start of the work week is really something to celebrate?)  But, today is my mom's birthday so Happy Birthday Mom!  That's certainly something worth celebrating...

Crochet

Wrapping up the week with another new look.  I wanted to capture the versatility of these boots...  so I paired them with this fun, albeit short, crochet mini-dress (can't wait to wear this dress with sandals + tortoise sunglasses this summer).  Sticking to my neutrals, I rounded out the look with a black floppy hat and matching black reversible tote, which has of late become my go-to bag.  So back to the versatility of these boots, are you sold yet?

Pane & Print

You know I'm a sucker for all things black + white, as evidenced here, here & here.  Plus, with this crazy New England weather, layers really are key.  This look pretty much sums up my winter style: cute, skinny pants (love me some window pane print: here & here), a chunky sweater layered over a long blouse (seen here & here)... substitute snow boots for the pumps until I'm inside at least.   This week temps are supposed to reach the 50's, though I'm hearing potential snow for this weekend... oh well.  Have a great week!

Kickin' It Kool

If you follow me on Instagram, you may recall this post.  I could barely contain my excitement over these gold + salty kicks.  After I first saw them on display my J.Crew store, I couldn't stop thinking about them.  I had to go back the very next day and make them my own.  The classic style and simple color palate only adds to their versatility, plus I'm a sucker for all things gold.  I've actually been wearing the heck out of them already.  Have a great week!
