These girly and comfy finds are the perfect combination for cold, rainy weekend days.

As I sit in my bed, studying, and contemplating making another cup of coffee, I think about how wonderful it would be to have all of these items around or on me right now! A girl can dream :D

Hope everyone has a fun, relaxing weekend.

Loving Leopard

Sweater and Skinny Jeans (A&F), Cardigan (Old), Jacket and Necklace (F21, Old, Last Year), Clutch (Target, Here), Shoes (Kate Spade), Bracelets (Kenneth Kole, Francesca's, Vintage), Ring (Gift from my mom), Sunnies (Chanel), Lip Gloss (MAC), Nail Polish (Essie, Jamaica Me Crazy)

I wasn't sure if the weather today would be warm or on the chilly side due to the wind. So, I opted for a leopard cardigan and a leopard jacket just in case. The jacket came in handy at work when I was chilly through out the day. 

I have been dying to wear my gold Kate Spade oxfords again, and I finally was able to! I just love looking at them!

 I found this clutch last week at Target - AMAZING find - I love the ostrich embossed faux leather and the sky blue color. It has a strap that can be used or tucked in for a clutch. 

My boy is on his way back from Afghanistan and should be back in the states by tomorrow!

His family and I are visiting him next week! :]

I thank God for keeping him safe <3 He has been in Afghanistan since last May.

Pastels & Lace

Blouse (my mom's closet, unsure about where she purchased it), Skirt (F21), Tights (J.Crew), Shoes (Seen in previous post), Bag (Kate Spade NY), Sunnies (Chanel), Jewelry (Vintage and Handmade), Nail Polish (OPI)

You can obviously tell that I am ready for Easter! I just love pastels. They're so girly and cheerful. I found this skirt at Forever 21 not too long ago. I just couldn't resist! I don't wear many skirts, but I fell in love with this one, because it has a vintage look to it. I can always dress it down, and make it more work appropriate by pairing it with a sweater or cardigan.

 I also snatched this blouse from my mom's closet! It's so pretty, and I wanted to keep the pastel theme running throughout my outfit. 

The tights were on sale after Christmas at J Crew. I was immediately intrigued by the unique taupe color and insanely marked-down clearance price. ;)

I wanted to wear minimal jewelry with this look. So, the skirt could stand out more. My mom gave me this antique ring the other day. I just love her taste!

Finally, this Kate Spade bag is perfect for school and work. It fits everything in it! I am so happy I snatched this up at the online sample sale a month or so ago..

Happy Easter & Happy Weekend!

After watching Breakfast at Tiffany's for the 10th time this week (my new favorite movie, btw), I instantly became obsessed with the fashion and overall design of the movie. I love Holly Golightly :) 

I want to start collecting some antique tea cups to hold some rings and to decorate for a future china cabinet.

The pink birthday dress and coat Audrey wears in Breakfast at Tiffany's is amazing. I just want to stare at it. I wish I could find an affordable version  but no such luck so far . .

I have also been eyeing this Kate Spade perfume and Essie polish, and I have also been dying to buy a Chanel book!

Last but not least, this Tory Burch satchel is absolutely amazing, and it has this vintage feel that I just can't stop dreaming about!

I am praying to find time to take some outfit pictures this weekend. 

Soon to come (fingers crossed)!

Early Spring Arrival

Cardigan (Express, old), Scarf (Tory Burch), Bag (Kate Spade), Leggings (Victoria's Secret), T-Shirt (Target), Sunnies (Burberry, old), Rain Boots (not pictured, Burberry)

It has been so gorgeous in Chicago recently! I know it is a little early to expect this for the next month or so, but a few beautiful days is better than none! I wanted to take some shots outside, because the sunlight makes everything look so much better. It was a little windy yesterday, and my hair kept flying in my face, oh well!

I just recently got this bag online during the Kate Spade sample sale. I couldn't pass it up! It is so big, and fits everything I need. The saddle colored leather is breath-taking, in my opinion. 

I also returned my Burberry scarf, because it was unraveling (grr) and bought this Tory Burch wool scarf instead. It is so soft and beautiful. 

I'm cheesin' in the last picture, because I am so happy it's finally warmer out! ;)

Oh, and obviously I wanted to dress incredibly comfortable for a Monday. Why not?

Casual Neutrals

V-neck tee, Target, $10

Rag Bone linen jacket, $535

The A & F jegging, Abercrombie & Fitch, $54

Black flats, ASOS, $27

Satchel, Kate Spade, $177

Gold bracelet, $74

Wool scarf, Tory Burch, $185

I've been experimenting with colors lately, but neutrals will always be my staple. Slipping on some skinny jeans, classic flats, your favorite scarf, dainty jewelry, and a classic, leather bag can make all the difference and look just as chic!

I picked out some of my favorites above. Any flats you adore are a must, and these ASOS ones are very affordable! I also love A&F jeggings. They fit me the best, wash up very well. 

Most important for a casual, simple look is a t-shirt. You can't go wrong with any of the v-necks at target. They're so cheap, too! I have one in nearly every color (lol). For spring, throwing on a neutral blazer is simple and makes your look a little more put together. I am adoring white blazers!

Lastly, I just ordered the Tory Burch wool scarf above. I can't wait for its arrival :)

P.S. - isn't that Kate Spade bag adorable?!

Pink & Orange

Blazer (Similar, Here), Sparkled V-Neck (Express), Coral Belt (J Crew), Jeggings (A&F), 

Colorblock flats (Calvin Klein), Bag (Kate Spade)

This week has been fantastic, although very different from former spring breaks, I am still having a wonderful time with family, friends, and my doggy!

 I decided to take a few shots in my dining room before dinner with my very good friend, Mary! I love my mom (my free, novice photographer) for snapping these for me. Also, for having impeccable decorating taste! It makes for very pretty pictures. 

I just bought these Calvin Klein flats last weekend. I LOVE them, and they are so comfortable. Flats usual rub on my heel or tops of my feet, but these don't at all! They're not bad looking either ;)

I wanted to mix pink and orange together, because well, why not?! I think it ended up looking really fun! I made sure to not wear much color in the rest of the outfit (besides the belt).

For once, I didn't have to wear a coat! I am so excited for spring!

Does anyone know of black flats that are inexpensive and pain-free? Please let me know!!

Instagram Love

Here are just a few photos I posted on Instagram recently. I am addicted to this app. If you have an iPhone, you have to check it out, but keep in mind that you may be glued to your phone (if you aren't already). Happy Thursday!

I realize these photos are in random order, but some of them are purchases I made last weekend (i.e., Kate Spade oxfords, Kenneth Cole gold link bracelet, and Rebecca Minkoff cosmetic case). All of these purchases were found at T.J. Maxx - LOVE that store!
Also, a beautiful Valentine's Day gift from my love, who is currently serving in Afghanistan. The lovely white Balenciaga <3 <3
