A Lesson in Layering

Chambray: J.Crew; Textured Sweatshirt: F21; Coated Denim: JBrand; Wedges: Pour La Victoire via RueLaLa; Necklace: BaubleBar

Sometimes there is absolutely no rhyme or reason for what I wear. Sometimes I stand in front of my closet for what feels like an hour, pondering over what to throw on. I reeeeeally wanted to wear this textured white sweatshirt but short sleeves aren't exactly conducive to December weather in New England. So out came the go-to layering piece -- my chambray shirt. And then came the coated denim pants I've been afraid to wear (no idea why, they're actual super comfortable for looking like they've been painted on...) And there you have it. My typical morning routine.

White Fur

Fur Vest: H&M; Blouse: J.Crew Factory; Jeans: J Brand; Bag: c/o POSE & Rebecca Minkoff; Heels: Zara (old); Watch: Michael Kors; Rings: Stella & Dot; Lipstick: MAC Snob; Nails: OPI Alpine Snow

I've always felt a special connection to the hippie era. Maybe it's the fact that I was raised in a mostly-carefree small town where we listened to Pink Floyd and The Grateful Dead. Years later, I still tap into my hippie side once in a while, as evidenced by today's outfit. I used to make fun of my mother whenever I would see pictures of her in bell bottoms. She'd always say "they were so cool back then -- I was so cool!" And here I am sporting similar pants, funny how that works. I have a feeling my future children will do the same to me some day.

Winterized Leather Peplum

Jacket: J.Crew Factory; Vegan Leather Peplum: Piperlime; Blouse: J.Crew; Jeans: J Brand; Heels: Zara; Bag: Chanel; Nails: OPI Lincoln Park After Dark

Winter is in full swing so lately I've been trying to find ways to get use out of my summer and fall pieces without freezing to death. The answer: layers. Instead of throwing a blazer over my leather peplum top (last seen HERE), I added a simple blouse underneath and can now enjoy it for months to come. Plus the contrast between the soft girly blouse and the "tough" leather top is fun.

Happy Monday!

Overcoat

Jacket: Zara; Blouse: Madewell (another cute version HERE); Jeans: J Brand; Clutch: Tory Burch; Bracelets: Stella & Dot and The Fashion Truck; Necklace: Stella & Dot; Rings: Stella & Dot; Heels: Zara

Fall in New England is my favorite time of year. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say it is hands down the best season for fashion. I love layering light jackets over silk blouses. This cream Zara number is so versatile because not only does it look great with jeans, but I can easily throw it over a dress for a night on the town. 

Also a fun little trick -- do your sunglasses come in a cute case? Mine did! So I used it as a clutch to add instant glam to my somewhat plain outfit.

Fashion's Night Out Boston

Last night I was privileged enough to attend the Neiman Marcus and Boston Common Magazine Fashion's Night Out party at Copley Place. The highlight of the night were definitely the fashion shows and they did not disappoint. I've been in total resistance of admitting that the fall season is upon us, but after seeing the gorgeous selection of clothing last night, I'm ready. 

The trends I'm most excited for this seasons are mixed greens, "borrowed from the boys", and LEATHER! There were so many beautiful colors of leather that I had never considered wearing prior to last night. Now I am in desperate need of a pair of supple, cobalt blue leather pants. Or oxblood. Or greige. Or a bigger bank account.

Vegan Leather Top: Piperlime; Jeans: J Brand; Heels: Miu Miu (Glitter version HERE); Bag: Michael Kors; Necklace: Stella & Dot; Bangles: F21 & The Fashion Truck

Happy Friday!

Sushi Date

Sure, boyfriends are wonderful. But sometimes, the perfect "date" is chatting over sushi and a glass of wine with your girlfriends. That's what I spent last Saturday night doing. I hadn't seen this particular girlfriend in a while so we sat in our little corner of the restaurant catching up for several hours.

Spicy Tuna at Legal Seafood Harborside, Boston (so yum!)

Jeans & a blouse. It's definitely my uniform for dinner dates with friends. I love the almost sailor-esq look of this blouse. The camera didn't pick up the exaggerated collar very well which is unfortunate but it's still cute nonetheless. Do you have a go-to "uniform" for occasions like this?

Blouse: ASOS; Jeans: J Brand; Leather Jacket: LIT Boutique Boston (old); Belt: F21

Heels: Charles David; Clutch: Velvet Fly Boston (now closed)

See you tomorrow!

'70s Flare

Apologies for being quiet the past few days! I spent some time in NYC with my Mom and little sister last week -- stay tuned for pictures!


Have I mentioned that I love the whole 70s look right now? I think it will be pretty obvious once you see my outfit of choice for a get together with friends yesterday.


I've always had the hardest time finding jeans that fit me perfectly. Luckily I stumbled across these J Brand Martini Flares. Not only are they long enough for me but they are incredibly comfortable. And they had the exact amount of "flare" I was looking for! How do you feel about 70s trends? Would you wear flared jeans like this?

Flared Jeans: J Brand Martini; Beige Tee: Gap; Faux Fur Trim Vest: F21; Wedge Booties: Urban Outfitters;

Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Nikki Hobo; Bangles: Alex & Ani; Ring: F21



Did you also get a look at my fun holiday-inspired manicure? I love anything sparkly this time of year so I figured instead of going all-out with a red mani, I'd get in the holiday spirit by adding some sparkles to my ring fingers. I kept the rest pretty neutral with one of my faves -- OPI I Pink I Love You. What do you think?

Happy Monday everyone!
