Neutral Territory - Day & Night

 As I prepare for our fifth wedding anniversary trip to the desert I am finding myself stocking up on everything neutral, {shocking I know}. I recently picked up this blouse to wear during the day with some sandals and skinny denim. Come our celebratory evening I thought a dress was in order. I love the idea of something that is loose fitting but can have a belt added so you don't look like your wearing a potato sack. All my other outfits will be casual coverups and bathing suits. I cannot wait to get the sun on my skin. Spring is definitely being skipped this year in Boston!

Cash or Credit - Travel Style

I know I just shared my beach day wardrobe on Friday but I can't stop thinking about getting away from the arctic weather that is hitting us in the Northeast. So today I thought I would focus on the attire that will help you travel in style and in comfort to allow you an easy transition from the cold to the warm upon landing. A simple removal of the jacket and throwing in your tote and voila - your ready to go! My usual travel style consists of classic basics, comfy footwear and accessories that prepare me for overly cool plane rides with an oversized scarf as well as a back up change of clothes in case the luggage doesn't make it.

Cash or Credit - Totes

In important news, has anyone seen the atrociousness that was gifted to Kim K by her man this Christmas? The $40,000 hand painted Birkin bag is the work of American artist George Condo, who previously worked on some album covers for Yeezy. Thankfully this bag is one of a kind, because do we really need more then one bag painted with naked women with monster faces?! In an article I read online, one person summarized this bag perfectly..."it has the aesthetic appeal of a tragic car accident". For those of us that do not have or would ever spend that kind of money on a bag, I put together a little cash or credit round up of totes that are worth carrying around at all different price points.

weekend wear - comfy & casual

When the weekend arrives I always want an outfit that is easy but stylish. Come warmer weather, I always turn to comfy day dresses that can work with a sensible flat or a heeled sandal for the evening. Since we are only breaking into the high 60's here in Boston, I am not quite able to pull off the sleeveless summer dress just yet. Which is why I became instantly smitten with this cuffed sleeve dress, perfect for this in between weather. You can layer it with a casual jacket for a chillier day or wear alone with some great accessories like in the example below. 

What is your comfy & casual weekend look???

Weekend Wear - Spring Essentials

Inspired by yesterday's post on style icons, I thought I would build a little list of some great wardrobe essentials come warmer weather. It's safe to say every woman has a little black dress in their closet that is their go to for any last minute events but what about a little white dress? The little Tibi number below is timeless in its classic silhouette and appropriate hem length. It's perfectly paired with a simple "go with everything" necklace and neutral sandal. Striped tee's, white denim and a great trench go without saying but of course I had to include three that I love. A gauzy tunic with a little sparkle embellishment will always be a favorite of mine along with the a simple thong sandal along with a black one piece for swimwear, something that will never go out of style. Everyday walking flats an essential tote in a great grey color, aviators, red lipstick and a nice watch will perfectly accessorize any spring look effortlessly.

Weekend Wear - Welcome Spring

When the warmer weather finally decides to grace us with it's presence I know I will be breaking out some of my favorite spring items that always include my beloved denim jacket to throw over a summery dress. That AG jacket was by far one of my best investments, it has the perfect amount of stretch to keep the look of the jacket fitted instead of boxy and the color pairs so well with other blues. This is key seeing I wear tons of navy come Spring. I love that little white dress below for it's knee length hem. Not everything needs to be a mini to be attractive. This flowy dress will translate well into many looks through the spring and into summer with a thong sandal and fedora. What are you dying to break out of your closet come warmer weather???
