Unexpected Love

THE CANVAS –

Skirt : J.Crew ~ Orange Blouse : Forever21 ~ Navy Blouse : Forever21 ~ Tights : Hue ~
Boots : Unknown brand via Jolley’s ~ Purse : H&M ~ Sunglasses : Michael Kors ~
Necklaces : J.Crew, Kate Spade ~ Bracelets : Forever21, J.Crew, Brina’s Boutique ~
Rings : Vintage, Nordstrom ~ Watch : Marc by Marc Jacobs

The reason that I love this outfit is that the colors are so unexpected for a Valentine’s day theme! Granted there are actual hearts on the skirt, but I love the combination of navy blue and coral because it is different than the typical red and pink you see everywhere! I am also digging my new shoes that have the perfect touch of sparkle.
Tune in all this next week to see other Valentine inspired outfits and gift guides.
Finally I have a special announcement, I am featured as the head stylist on Lauren’s STYLELIXIR blog this week!! Check out her cute blog and all of here fashion tips here! Also join her link-up if you have a fun post or outfit to share 🙂

Snow Day!!!

THE CANVAS –

Coat : Bar III ~ Leggings : Trouve ~ Hat : Restoration Hardware (on sale and love it!) ~ Umbrella : Totes
~ Gloves : Nordstrom ~ Boots : Juicy Couture (old! – could purchase here)
Winter Wonderland : Mother Nature 😉

So what is it that every little kid dreams about in the winter….pretty sure its a SNOW DAY!
Well I’ll leave little to the imagination, but that is what I got last Friday. It started snowing heavily on Thursday night and to much surprise, we woke up to 2 feet of snow the next morning and it continued to snow heavily throughout the day. With the roads being such chaos I decided to stay home and take a snow day. Normally I would just work from home (but of course our internet was down), so I thought, hey, why not take some pictures for the blog?? Of course that is what any sane person would do right?? lol
So here is my take on what a very fashionable “abominable snowman” or what little red riding hood would wear during a blizzard!

p.s. – I would HIGHLY recommend this umbrella!! It is literally the best on rainy or snowy days. Since it is dome shaped, I can bring it down in front of my face and it covers everything.
