Mixology

It’s no secret that I love camo.  And leopard.  And stripes.  And distressed denim.  Oh, and of course yellow.  So why not mix them all together?  Obviously!!  Mixing all of your favorite things into one outfit isn’t just for little kids anymore-it’s called fashion!!!

Track Pants

It took me a little while to hop on the whole track pant band wagon, but am I sure glad that I finally did!  Not only are they as comfy as sweatpants, but they look fantastic back to heels.  And who doesn’t love to look to put together while being comfortable at the same time??

Happy, happy Friday to you!  I am flying to Chicago for a baby shower this weekend.  And while I’m a little nervous about how cold it’s going to be, I couldn’t be any more excited to see some of my dearest friends from college.  Be sure to follow along on Instagram to check out my adventure and the Windy City, and of course what I’ll be wearing!!

Blanket Scarf

I have been loving extra big, cozy, plaid scarves this season.  And this one is no exception. But not only is it the perfect piece to keep me nice and warm on even the coldest of winter days, it’s the perfect pop of color to help satiate my spring fever…

Neutral

Even though I am a color person, sometimes there is nothing I crave more than a basic neutral outfit without any color what-so-ever.  It is such a chic, blank slate and something about that just feels so refreshing. But I have to tell you, that when it came time to photograph this outfit, my husband laughed at me!  Like, an actual, audible, are you really wearing that kind of a laugh!  Turns out he thinks my vest looks like a shag rug!  And I have to say, I think he’s right.  But on the other hand, I also have to say that I love this vest.  I tried to hunt down the original  jacket version that was popular on so many blogs earlier this season, but didn’t have any luck.  So I was thrilled to stumble upon it as a vest.  And not only is it a vest (and I’m pretty obsessed with vests) but it’s super cozy and soft, and it even has pockets.  So at the end of the day, I love it and am resolved to rock it-even if my husband thinks I look like I’m wearing a giant piece of carpet for a top!

Buffalo

I love plaid.  Like really love it.  But of all of the cute plaids I’ve seen this season, a classic buffalo check plaid just might be my favorite.  And so when I saw this scarf at Gap (for 40%!), I knew it was coming home with  me. And hats!  Oh my gosh.  I LOVE hats!  I mean really, how easy (and fun) is it to just throw on a super simple outfit and a few cute accessories to really an outfit take it up a notch!

J and A After Dark

This fall, J and I decided that we wanted some updated pictures of the two of us.  And so, we enlisted the help of our super talented friend Sam Kanzler of Kanzler Foto.  She and her hubby had taken some photos of J and me a few years ago, and not only were they amazing, but the four of us became fast friends.  Besides being incredibly talented, Mike and Sam are two of the most generous, kindest, and funniest people that I know.  They are just those kind of friends you feel especially blessed to have found in life.  And with that, here is a little preview of a few of my favorites from our photo shoot “Justin and Abby After Dark”…

Grounded

You might have guessed pink, but yellow is actually my very favorite color.  And one of my favorite ways to wear it as of late is in a neon hue back to black with a pop of leopard.  And while I believe it’s perfectly acceptable to wear neon and bright colors all year round (and do!) during the colder months, it is good to ground them with darker colors making your brights feel more appropriate for the season…
