Flower Power

I will use any excuse to dress up and this was no exception. It makes life so much more fun 🙂 We spent one day in Monterey during our California trip and the next morning we were on our way to San Francisco. Even though we were about to embark on the second part of our […]

Maximize

Here we are in San Diego! It felt so good to be able to wear summer clothes after such a long winter. This maxi dress is a great item to pack for a trip. I felt comfortable while strolling along the beach but still put together. Bonus, there are some really great patterns to choose […]

Some of you know that J and I recently went on a trip to California to visit some of our friends and family in San Diego, LA, and San Francisco. We had such an amazing time seeing everyone and road tripping from place to place. There are no words to describe the views, but luckily […]

Date Night

Whether it’s dinner and a movie or a walk around old city, date night with my hubby is a time to unwind at the end of the week and spend some quality time together. Since we’re both juggling busy schedules, getting ready for date night needs to be quick. For me, it often involves adding […]

Tartan

Zara has such a great selection of scarves and is the first place I look when I’m looking for a chic scarf with a fun pattern. This tartan scarf has beautiful colors and most importantly, it’s really long so I can keep wrapping it around myself to stay extra warm! I love how a simple outfit, […]

La Vie en Rose

We all have those days when we wake up, stand in front of our closets and think “what can I possibly wear today?” When I’m having one of those mornings, I tend to gravitate towards black and white, my safe haven. In this case, I decided to stray outside my comfort zone and try a […]

Me and My Boyfriend Jeans

Mixing boyish pieces with feminine additions (like red heels) creates an unexpected combination that totally works in my opinion! I think it’s so funny that there are various styles of jean now that work and are even considered trendy. When I was in high school, anything other than flared or boot leg jeans was considered […]

The Plaid Palette

I used to shy away from plaid but as my style evolves, I become more open minded and amenable to different looks. I especially love this plaid coat. Even the simplest outfit, skinny jeans and a cute top, can be turned around with a fun print like this one. Normally I like to stick to […]

Nude and Grey Glam

Since it’s been snowing every week in Philadelphia for the past few months, I’ve been taking advantage of slightly warm weather any chance I get. J agreed to take some blog pics so we took a walk to Rittenhouse Square Park for a fun photo session. 🙂 The park is beautiful but it’s even better […]

Strapped In

Friday night was date night and when I’m rushing to put together an outfit and get out the door, I gravitate towards black (minus the lipstick, of course). If I’m wearing an all neutral outfit, I like to add some killer shoes to pull the look together. I’d love to hear what you wear on […]

L is For the Way you Look Tonight

J and I went to Laurel to celebrate Valentine’s day on Friday. It was delicious. We’ve been watching Top Chef New Orleans for the past couple weeks and were excited to get to meet Nick and taste his food as opposed to listening to the judges comment on it! The gnocchi and lamb dishes were our […]

Color Coded

It was so nice outside on Saturday, I couldn’t resist replacing my bulky winter coat with a lightweight moto jacket. J and I had a few errands to run so I threw a couple things together and added a yellow scarf for some color.  I also love this bright pink lipstick with the yellow scarf. The […]

The designer is known for her classic silhouettes and whimsical features. This dress in particular has a fit & flare shape, which is wonderfully feminine and imaginative (I couldn’t […]

Noir: High Slit & High Heels

Happy holidays everyone! J and I went to our good friends’ wedding a little while ago and I wore this dress. It’s definitely a statement dress! Because it has two very high slits and a low back, I love how the rest of the dress offers maximum coverage, from the long sleeves to high neckline. It’s […]

Lookbook: Yellow and Leopard

I wouldn’t say that combining yellow and leopard is common but in my humble opinion, it’s a great look! I would normally wear this top in the summer but I wanted to add some color to my dark winter wardrobe. It’s so wonderfully exaggerated and girly with all of its layers  so I had to […]

Lookbook: Color Block Dress

I tend to gravitate towards color block dresses and this dress was no exception. There is something to be said about a simple dress. It’s not fancy but still makes a statement. I especially love how the paneling in the center creates a slimming effect. Though I love how this dress looks with black pumps, […]

Lookbook: Fall Booties

Happy Halloween everyone! Though this outfit isn’t meant to be scary (I hope), it is meant to keep you stylish and warm in the fall. My weekend uniform lately has been consisting of grey skinnies, a basic top and black booties. Mixing and matching different shades of white, black and grey gives you a nice contrast […]

Lookbook: Tulle Love

What is the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions a tutu skirt? I imagine a graceful ballerina happily dancing on a stage to a classical masterpiece. So to recreate and modernize that feeling, I paired my tutu skirt with a navy and white striped tank top for a contemporary day version. A tulle skirt […]

Lookbook: Sequins in Philadelphia

J and I recently celebrated our 2 year anniversary! We didn’t plan to go to LOVE Park but we passed it on our way to our final destination and thought, what better day to take some photos in front of a love sign? I’m wearing black faux leather skinny pants here (my fall/winter staple) with a layered grey sequined […]
