Spring has officially touched down in the city. Something about the weather just makes you want to jump in the streets and dance. (Perhaps it’s the season of hurricanes and blizzards we had this year?)

To be completely honest, this may or may not be the last time I wear socks in a post for a while. You’re doing something wrong if you’re ankles aren’t fully exposed in over 60 degree weather.

The key to dressing for temperamental spring weather? Light layers and a little color. #BOOM

Happy Valentine’s Day ya’ll!

Hopefully you’re spending the day with your best boo and brogues. If not, you can spend the night with some takeout & whiskey like I plan on doing.

While the day might be for “lovers,” the season is for mixing textures. Instead of complaining about the weather, (or lack of a love life) you should be stacking your textile game up. It’s the only time of year where you can mix speckled wool, cashmere, suede, velvet and not look crazy.

Don’t be afraid to mix it up and if you’re on the prowl a pair of pink socks is a great ice breaker/conversation starter.

Shirt: H&M
Cords: French Connection
Shoes: H&M
Rings: Thrifted/Topman
Ribbon Bracelet: Topman

It was a regular day in the office so I decided that a crazy thought out outfit wasn’t in need. (Especially since I was planning on looking at spreadsheets all day!) After a quick look in the mirror I realized that I needed something more. I looked at my accessories bowl for inspiration and found my broken 5 star ring from Topman. (Which I only wore once before it broke into two pieces.) I usually would have just rolled my eyes but I decided to put them on broken and all. Also threw my Diesel watch and studded leather cuff.

Felt like I was missing something so in the theme of wearing one  my my many ruined items I took the ribbon that was once attached to my Topman bowtie and affixed as a bracelet.

I tried my best to turn a serious and mundane look into something with a little substance and thought behind it. Continue reading
