Although I do love brights, I’m also really enjoying these pastels and toned down choices for the Spring!

Although Spring is still a few months away, it’s always the right time to wear a floral accent here and there!

Stripes are so lovely and timeless, and it’s always fun to see how they are reinvented each season! Here are some of my recent favorites:

Stucco Stripe Songbird dress, Madewell / bow back top, Topshop / “Eat Cake for Breakfast” Gia, Kate Spade / sailor stripe scarf, Kate Spade / Classic 101 sunglasses, Toms / Walking Day Trip backpack, Modcloth

We seem to be having a lot of warm winter days this year, and sometimes it’s tough finding the right outfits without looking like you belong at the beach. The deep green of this dress with gray, gold and a pop of color are perfect for the unseasonal heat!

pom pom clip, ban.do / teeny breezes earrings, Mod Cloth / embossed basket dress, Anthropologie / hearthstone snood, JCrew / goldrush jean jacket, Madewell / signet initial ring, Urban Outfitters / Fossil saxon flat, Piperlime / cashmere arm warmers, Net-A-Porter

Happy New Year!

I thought we’d start off the year with a new round-up series we’re gonna call “Outfitted.” You might remember that last summer I brought on designer Katelyn Applegate to help out around the studio, and she’s been busy behind the scenes both with Mint posts and work with Hello Tenfold. Katelyn has a great sense of style, so I thought combining the weekly round-ups with Katelyn’s fashion sense would be the perfect match.
