Valentine's Stripes

sweater (Talbots c/o 25% off), jeans (JBrand), heels (J.Crew), coat (J.Crew), gloves (Target DIY), bag (Michael Kors), shades (Gucci), lip (Sephora Lip Stain Always Red)

Wore this little number out for din with some of my fave gals 'round town (McKayla, Sis, Mandy--unfortunately sans Tingle).  Further proving my point from Yesterday's Post that while hearts, love, red and the like are def seasonally appropriate, you can certainly sport them for many occasions.  Love the idea of pairing something quite girly like this Sweater with more tomboy, relaxed fit Denim.  In my personal opinion no denim looks better with a heel than boyfriend fit--I just love the opposition of the relaxed vs feminine.  Need a few more ideas for the upcoming date night this Friday, take a gander HERE and HERE.  Alright gang, make it a good one!

A Relaxed Valentine

 scarf (Talbots c/o 25% off), shirt (Gap, love these HEART PATCHES), denim (current/elliot), coat (J.Crew ON SALE), sneaks (Vans), bag (Michael Kors), shades (Ray Ban), lips (Sephora Always Red)

Considering my Valentine's Day will consist of a raging soiree with my little ladies and their best gal pals, I'm thinking a casual look such as this will def fit the bill.  This rig would totally work if heading to the movies, casual din, or over to a friend's house to celebrate.   And while this week is the perfect week to sport some hearts on your sleeve, I'm not opposed to doing it year round.  Take a gander at some of my fave heart lovelies below.  Y'all make it a good one & enjoy your week--more Vday looks coming up this week!

Simply Scarves

Got a great bit of feedback from my Leo Round Up, so I figured I'd give y'all another round of one of my faves.  I honestly have to say I don't think any of these rigs would be half as good without a cozy scarf.  Perfect for these ridiculously cold months but also as we transition into the spring---the scarf is def one of my fave accessories.  I truly have absolutely no particular way of tying them other than to just wrap the hell outta them around my neck and fiddle with the ends until they're just so, probably not terribly helpful, but Pinterest definitely has some great tutorials. Check out some current scarves I'm digging below. Alright gang, I promise to be back to the norm outfit post routine next week--KT and I snapped some goodins' yesterday so we'll be back in the saddle for sure!  Make it a good one!

My Life in Leopard

"...as far as I'm concerned, leopard is a neutral," damn straight, Jenna Lyons, damn straight.  How can we really debate this as being fact?  Neutrals, stripes, brights, double dosed (hell, even triple dosed), gingham, gold, pearls, plaids--my love of leo is NEVER ending and wanna know why...she goes with everything!  I've spouted off at the mouth countless times about my loyalty to leo and how I, too, have always viewed it as a neutral.  Be fearless when it comes to the pattern, just remember to either use in small doses or if using larger say in the ways of jeans, a dress, or a blouse--tone everything else down and keep her classic.  Check out some leo I'm clocking below.  Alright gang, cheers to a fab week--we've got ourselves another snow day--make it a good one!
