Glammed out for Valentine's Day

This is how my Valentine's day outfit stacked up.  Super glam, my hair up, I love this striped dress from Kate Spade.  Just makes me feel super old world glam.  Throw on a few stacks of pearl necklaces with one statement necklace for a little glitz, a couple of bangles, my favorite BHLDN pink bow shoes (similar featured below), and voila!  I'm ready for a night out with my hubster

Peace Out Winter Blues

(blazer - LOFT, button down - Gap, Necklaces - bemonogrammed, boutique in Charleston)

I am absolutely counting down the days until we leave on our honeymoon to Hawaii and then to Sonoma.  I can't get over how cold it has been in NYC this week!  I'm positively freezing and everything just seems so bland with the sun barely shining and it just feeling very grey to me.

To pick up my spirits after a long week, I decided to whip out my bright pink blazer, usually reserved for spring and summer, but heavy enough for the winter, and pair it with a mint button down.  Adding a little sparkle with my fave gold glitter belt from JCrew, a bold chunky necklace and of course my favorite jewelry piece right now, my monogrammed necklace.

What are you doing to get yourselves out of the winter blues?

A Hint of Mint

I've been feeling blah lately, maybe it's because I'm sick, or it could be because of my wardrobe and my not-so-self-imposed lack of shopping and spending.  However, I've been online window shopping through Pinterest and pinning outfits that both inspire me and that I want to pick up at some point in the future when I'm spending again.

Inspired by layering and repurposing those long forgotten items at the back of my closet, I dug out this grey lace skirt, paired with a new mint cardi and a trusty white button down, and voila, I feel as fresh as the cardigan is cool.

Gift list... for me!

I'm seeing posts all over about the best gifts to give people, and while that's all well in good, really it's going to depend on who you're buying for right?  And I always find it easier to buy something I know people want.  So I've done the reverse and put together the top 10 things I'm checking out right now.

1) gloves by Coach, 2) Belt by Loft, 3) Scarf by Loft, 4) Gold monogrammed necklace, 5) JCrew tweed jacket, 6) Jurlique rose mist, 7) earrings from Anthropologie, 8) JCrew sequin polka dot tee   9) bracelet from JCrew, 10) Audrey Hepburn image from Conde Nast

What's on your wish list this season?

{Shopaholic: Adding Brights}

With all of spring's fashions being "bold" pastels (I mean really, it's a pastel... how is it bold?) and really bright brights, I caved with one of my favorite clothing colors, fuschia, when I saw these at Loft the other day, tried them on, was two sizes smaller, and HAD to buy them!  Today I rocked them with a white and navy striped top with a blue suit jacket and it was super cute.  Get these cropped Julie pants before they sell out!
