Jump To It










Jumpsuit: Collective Concepts via Le Tote
Blazer: H&M
Shoes: Alloy (old)
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff via TJ Maxx
Watch: Michael Kors
Earrings: Kate Spade
Bracelet: ℅ Lalo + Rae
Necklace: Gazel via Le Tote

I'm starting to explore spring trends and decided to go out on a limb and try out my first jumpsuit. I can't take credit for choosing the piece -- it came in my latest tote from Le Tote. I wasn't sure exactly how to style it and it certainly isn't ideal jumpsuit weather, but here's what I came up with.

I went with my trusty beige blazer and my favorite beige shoes from last summer. I feel like the shoes are equally as edgy as the jumpsuit and added the pop of color from my new Rebecca Minkoff. Now all I need is a great place to wear this look!

In warmer weather, I love this look without the blazer and look forward to trying it again after the floods of 2015 snow melts.

What do you think of this look? Any new trends you're waiting to try?

Comfortable Style










Top: Forever 21 (old)
Jeans: Joe's via T.J. Maxx
Shoes: ALDO 
Scarf: ASOS (see SheInside for $13 deal!)
Bag: ALDO (old)
Sunnies: Rayban

Everyone has a certain style they just feel their best in -- and it varies depending on occasion. Lucky for for me, the everyday style I am most comfortable in also happens to be super comfortable. It is a difficult science to learn to dress exactly for your body type, but when you find something that really works -- don't be afraid to wear the heck out of it.

For me, the trend is oversized sweaters with fitted bottoms. It makes me feel petite, proportionate, and generally fabulous --- it also makes me feel prepared for a nap at moment's notice (WIN - WIN). Toss a blanket scarf into the mix and I am smitten kitten.

This sweater tunic is an oldie but goodie for Forever 21 and you can find tops like this pretty much anywhere. A top like this, paired with leggings, black jeans, or my best skinny blues and I am ready to head out the door. Boots, heels and flats take turns dressing it up or dressing it down -- but either way, it's my favorite.

What's your comfortable style? Would love to use your style ideas as inspiration for new looks!

Walk on the Wild Side


Top: Forever 21
Vest: TJ Maxx (Me Jane)
Jeans: James Jeans
Booties: Alloy (SO OLD)
Earrings: Bibjewelry
Bracelet: Bibjewelry
Ring: Baublebar
Wallet: LV 

I've been searching high and low for a fur vest that didn't make me look a complete toolshed. After checking shopping establishment I came across (and I came across probably all of them since I have a shopping problem and the number of online retailers is virtually infinite) I finally found the vest at my soulmate establishment -- TJ Maxx. In the juniors department of course.

Paired with this fun floral blouse (which unfortunately I can't find online but just purchased!) and my most intense booties (circa 2009) I thought I'd try an outfit that was a little outside my comfort zone.

Stay tuned to see this furry little thang styled many ways over the next few weeks. I'm proud of myself for trying the trend! Any trends you're itching to try but aren't totally sure of?

Pattern Pairings











Top: TJ Maxx
Vest: TJ Maxx
Skirt: Nordstrom
Shoes: Necessary Clothing ($20!!)
Bag: Aldo
Watch: Michael Kors
Bracelet: Bibjewelry
Sunnies: Rayban

I wanted to experiment with this post combining everyday fall patterns with a few dressier details in a way that I normally wouldn't.

On top, I'm wearing one of my favorite purchases of the season so far -- this buffalo print vest. Scored this from TJ Maxx and while I can't find the exact version online, TJ Maxx has another one that's very similar. Also, this cute flannel was a TJ's find as well. I wanted to play around with combining these two patterns that I find myself wearing non stop through the fall also -- normally, I would wear them separately.

On the bottom I've got my favorite skater skirt accented with black tights to transition into a cooler season paired with my favorite gold toe pumps. A neutral bag with a solid shape really ties the look together.

Finally, I'm loving my new Spike bracelet from Bibjewelry -- especially since it was only $6 (SIX DOLLARS!!!)

What do you think of the combination? Love it or lose it?

Open Back Tribal


Top: Charlotte Russe (old)
Jeans: Kensie
Shoes: Prabal Gurung for Target (old)
Bag: Aldo 
Sunshades: Ray-ban

This was one of my favorite outfits this summer. I love all the details and the way it all comes together for a complete look. As I think everyone is now very well aware, I love these neon shoes and white jeans with everything.

I found this top shopping this spring with one of my girlfriends in her search for a fun outfit for our upcoming birthday weekend - she popped into Charlotte Russe and I picked this up and purchased it without trying it on and it became one of my favorite looks this season - love that when that happens!  Especially when it happens for under $15!!! You may remember the story of this handbag from my Salmon Style post, still a classic!

I did some major fall shoe shopping online this weekend. I'm still dying for the bottom two pairs - what do you think? Should I purchase??

Crisp White


Jeans: Kensie
Top: Tobi 
Necklace: Baublebar
Clutch: Gift from a small boutique
Shoes: Tory Burch Outlet

I love a crisp all white outfit in the summer. It's such a clean, polished look and you can make it work for any occasion. For this shoot, I went with a more evening appropriate look. I've been really into gold lately so I added a few accessories to complement the white.

I've been obsessed with this tassel necklace since the moment I opened the Baublebar box it came in. I can literally wear it with everything. This gorgeous clutch was a birthday gift from a dear friend and has  been a great accent to many outfits this summer.

Finally - these SHOES. These were a complete impulse purchase on a trip to the Wrentham Outlets a few weeks ago. We got there so early no one was around and it was the first time I had ever been in the Tory Burch outlet to see shoes still on the shelves as opposed to strewn all over the store. I purchased them and have been wearing them everywhere ever since - they are SO comfortable!

How cool is that ship painted wall? Such a fun find on our shooting adventures!
