Cool & Casual

Over the holiday my family and I went to the Philadelphia Christmas Village, it was great if I had gotten this up sooner

 I'd say go, it is now closed -- there's always next year!

I wanted to keep it casual but still have some fun with the look.

Denim blue jeans, for me, are central to a casual and effortless look; add a pair of ankle boots like the pointed ones I'm sporting to take it up a notch. 

For the top, I went for a pajama-inspired top its casual in the right ways (loose fit, comfy, easy to work with) but still 

looks put together. Throw on a long trench style jacket to tie 

the look together. 

I love this jacket because it can be dressed down or up.

 It keeps me warm without the bulkiness.

Another outfit centered around my shoes.

 I got these boots as a gift!

The fringe on the boots were just 

begging to be worn with western style.

However the blue calls for a more

modern take on that.

(I've been loving the tucked hair into jacket look
 so much this season!)

It was a casual ripped up jeans and 

fuzzie sweater kind of day but...I 

had to add some contrasting leather.

Also, Ariel decided to make an appearance in

the form of my phone case/latest obsession.

Ready or not the hot weather is here and its time to show a little bit of skin.

I was thrilled to finally be able to wear these velvet shorts that I scored ON SALE in like the beginning of winter. I've worn them before throughout the winter with stockings or long socks but having the velvet texture in the spring/summer is a nice twist. Honestly, that is why I bought them hahha. To keep with the "unexpected texture" I paired it with my leather top from the "Recent Buys" post. Since I was going to lunch with my mom and I didn't want to be showing too much skin I threw on an over-sized denim  jacket.

For me summer means I get to be more adventurous with my outfits. I'm not sure why but once it gets warm I feel so inspired and daring to try anything -style wise. 

So make a vow to yourself this summer to try new looks you've had your eye on and let me know how it goes. Show me some of you're favorite looks!

Handkerchief

Handkerchief? 

I have been on the fence about using a handkerchief/bandanna 

(which ever you prefer I have gotten into some heated discussions over the correct term hahha) as an accessory. I have seen some people pull it off very well and others not so much. But I took a chance! and I really liked it. It will probably be a summer trademark for me when I don't want to be bother by necklaces.

Since I was being a bit bold with that I wanted to keep the rest of my outfit simple. Insert black shorts, purse, and my fave cut-out boots. To make the handkerchief stand out I went with a cream colored knit sweater that I distressed a bit.  

I don't wear this shirt often because it fits weird but I thought the distressed knit would add a nice touch.

I threw this outfit together to do a little shopping with my family. I love the classic look of the pleated skirt paired with the leather top to give it an edge.

This was a small shoot with my sister while we were in a cute little town not too far from us. It was sooo windy and we were by the water so the temp was much lower than I anticipated. Thank God for this oversized denim jacket I picked up at Zara's for a steal( IT WAS ONLY $20!!) it kept me soo warm.
