Second Chance

There is a funny saying floating around Instagram that says: “Nothing haunts us like the things we didn’t buy”.  And every time I see it, I have a good chuckle, because sometimes it isn’t that far from the truth!  Such was the case for the sweater in today’s post.  I tried it on at JCrew last summer and decided not to buy it (even though I loved it). And I have always regretted not purchasing it.  So when I saw that JCrew Factory released an almost identical version  a few weeks ago-I pounced!  And I am SO glad that I did.  Not only did I get a great deal on it, but it is such a pretty and unique piece that I know I will wear for years to come.  Thank goodness for second chances!

Print Mixing

I love that it’s perfectly acceptable to mix different prints together (thank you Jenna Lyons!).  I mean really, a couple of years ago, I never would have thought to wear leopard and tribal prints together. In the same outfit.  But for whatever reason, it works.  And perhaps more importantly? It’s FUN.  And in my book, fashion should always be fun, don’t you think?

Remix

I love a good stripe.  And even though this blazer is a few years old, it is still one of my very favorite things.  Because to be totally honest, while it’s always fun to buy new items for your wardrobe (duh!), it can be equally as fun to challenge yourself to style tried-and-true pieces in new and creative ways…

Shades of Pink (and gray!)

I’m baaaaaack!!!! 🙂 Hope you guys don’t mind that I took a few days off from sharing outfit inspiration to enjoy my vacay in Nicaragua with my hubby.  We had such a fun and relaxing time-but it’s nice to be back home and feels even better to be getting back into a routine-which of course, includes blogging!

So if you hadn’t already noticed, I’ve been really into a neutrals as of late.  And as a professed lover of color, this is definitely a change for me.  But one combo I have always, loved, whether I am in a neutral or color phase, has always been pale pink and gray.  It is such a timeless and simple combo and perfect back to a bright pink pump if you are looking to add a little extra punch of color!

Blushing

I don’t know what it is, but I have really been gravitating towards neutrals lately.  And while blush pink is the “it” color right now-it has always been one of my personal favorites.  So I have been more than happy to wear my blush pink items outside of the spring and summer months this winter.  But I want to know, how are you guys feeling about blush pink this season?

Blanket Scarf

I love the blanket scarf trend.  It’s such a chic way to stay cozy during the cold winter months, and a great way to add a pop of color to any outfit.  In fact, I picked up this scarf at the Gap last season (you can see how I styled it last year on the blog here) for this very reason.  I love having the (practical) option of adding a pretty pop of blue and pink to an outfit during the winter months.  But I want to know, what do you all think about the blanket scarf trend???

TGIF

I can’t even begin to tell you guys how happy I am that it is Friday!  Why does the first full week of the year always seem to go by so slowly?  Just another one of life’s many mysteries, I guess!  Anyway, today I wanted to share a super casual outfit with you all that is one of my go-to looks.  As much as I love color, I am obsessed with gray and love it paired with white-especially when you throw in a pop of cognac.  I don’t know if it’s the dreariness of January or the post holiday blues, but this is a combo I’ve been reaching for all week. And don’t forget to scroll to the bottom of the post to see if you won the $50 Bohme Boutique giveaway!

Black and White

Sometimes there is no better color combo than classic black and white.  Especially when paired back to a pop of leopard and a bold lip to add a little dimension.  Plus, do you guys love beanies as much as I do?  I’m pretty sure I would wear one every day if I could.  Not only are they super cute and cozy, but they are also completely practical for this time of year.  And when fashion and practicality collide, you can almost always rest assured that I’m a fan!!!

A Look Back

Happy New Year, sweet friends!  I love the anticipation and possibility that a new year brings, but I also love reflecting on another year’s end.  The good times, the bad, the lessons learned, the hurts, the joy, the laughter, the adventure, and even the fashion.  And so today, to give 2014 a proper send off on the blog, I wanted to share my favorite look from each month over the course of the last year!  Enjoy!!!
