must have flats

I am a flat connoisseur — really, I am. My shoe collection is about two thirds flats one third heels and a few pairs of boots too! My boyfriend is only one and a half inches taller than me (that half inch is important!) and I feel awkward walking next to him in a pair of four-inchers so mostly I just gravitate towards a pair of flats and plus, they're more comfortable for long days at work!

I am not one to choose a pair of typical shoes. I do not own a pair of nude flats or plain black, it needs some character since you're compromising on the height. Choose a pair with a little versatility, like my very favorite pair of flats ever, the Frye Regina Studded flats in brown. They are neutral and can be an edgy touch to a feminine outfit. 

Even though a pair of shoes only goes with one or two outfits in your closet, if you love them — buy them! It will inspire new ideas or your next shopping trip you'll revolve outfits around the new shoes. Like the Alice and Olivia heart flats, wear them with a plain grey sweater (save or splurge) or a solid-color lace dress (here) — just a little whimsical touch! 

spring neutrals

While Snowmageden is still lingering, spring is approaching — sort of, and while
neutrals are perfect for fall, they are easy to pair with spring brights.
Here are a few picks to pair with your flowery

ensambles and bright accessories.

glamorous new year

Start the new year off with a little bit of sparkle and a tid bit of glitz.

Metallics, sequins and gilded mugs are fun ways to accessorize your home,

your outfit and your personality for the new year. These Tory Burch boots

were love at first sight and I am thinking seriously about splurging on these 

sparkling gems to spice up an all black or all white outfit.

Have fun in the new year — fashionably. Test the waters with these

five fashion risks for 2014. 

1. pair black and brown — together

2. wear a lace dress with a leather jacket

3. pair 3 random colors in one outfit

4. wear a tea length skirt with oxfords

5. wear all white — before memorial day!

Recently, I have been stuck on wearing monochromatic outfits with a standout 

piece. "All black everything" is definitely a favorite of mine — a simple black

blouse, black jeans, black boots and this bright pink Gap jacket would certainly

be a fun way to add some color. Different shades of grey paired with a silver

clutch and rhinestone statement necklace for a night out. Have some fun in

the new year with fun colors and sparkly accessories! 

Fall Essentials

Black is always a safe color when choosing items that will last longer than one 

season. My rule of thumb is to keep fall clothing neutral colors and accessorize with

the seasons trending colors. The oxblood and emerald trend works well incorporated in 

statement necklaces and bags paired with tan and cream tops and jeans.

Fall is a season filled with cozy sweaters, comfy boots and simple outfits and 

these are my favorite finds that fit the criteria — and then some! 

I have been eyeing this Anthropologie dress for a while with its whimsical zebra motif 

and a great contrast of color paired with something bright. Throw on a black blazer or stay 

on trend with a moto jacket and simple heels for a less-than-typical wedding outfit.

Cobalt Blue

I am loving these fun little accessories -- whether for your home or your feet, 

cobalt blue is such a fun color for accessorizing!
