Comfortable travel style

For my last few hours in Rome I needed to be comfortable and ready to hop on my flight. So my outfit needed to withstand the heat, and, also be comfortable enough for my long flight home. I decided my loose fitting Free People T over my Nike dri-fit leggings, and my Zara cap was perfect! I like to incorporate workout wear in my everyday attire whenever possible. These leggings are perfect for walking around, and, keeping you dry and cool. Another double duty item(I love two-fers)! A good T is necessary for any and every outfit if you ask me. So, this cool cranberry one was PERFECT! I love the V neckline and how flowy it is.  During our last stroll in the city, I popped into Zara and grabbed this adorable cap. Don't you love a fun quote you can show off all day? It makes me feel bubbly and people smile when they read it. I love when I can dress according to my mood AND be comfortable all at the same time( cuz that doesn't always happen). I hope to get back to Rome one day very soon. Especially now that I know exactly what to pack;) Btw, my dad took these photos, so some are a bit tricky:/;)

Bisous!

My most favorite thing to wear is a good T-shirt! (Ok maybe a gorgeous handbag and a chocolate chip cookie to go along with a good T would be my MOST favorite). On my recent trip to Rome I had 2 out of 3, but, I was in ROME so, that took it to whole different(amazing) level. This adorable and oh so comfortable Sincerelyjules T shirt was the first item to go in my luggage. I love the classic white color with the adorable message of BISOUS (kisses in French) on the front. T's with a message are so chic. I'd wear one everyday if I could! For our Sunday funday in Rome I paired my T with some fitted sweats, booties, and my fun bright bag. I finished the look by draping my black jacket from Piperlime over my shoulders;) and then around my waist when it got warm. This T is super soft and fits really nicely. I see another Sincerelyjules T in my future;) Love them!

Mint condition!

It's May and wedding season is here! As a guest, this means trying to find a lovely "springy" ensemble. Which basically means, something pastel and/or floral print. While I like these on other people, I prefer darker more vibrant colors on my skin tone, and I can't seem to find a flower print that likes me. But, since I'm working on trying new things and stepping outside my comfort zone, I decided to combine mint (a lovely pastel shade) with one of my favorite colors, fuchsia, for my cousins wedding in Saltburn UK. I was beyond excited when I found this gorgeous(easily packable) dress at Franchescas. It is the perfect shade of mint that I was looking for AND I think it looks good on every complexion. My fuschia pumps and my favorite Rebecca Minkoff handbag was the fun element I was going for. Whenever I'm going to a wedding or nice event, I like to add a little spice with my jewelry. My amazing necklace from Anthropologie was the perfect finishing touch(very Moroccan looking, which I LOVE!) I absolutely luh luh loved this look! Not only was I very comfortable, but, I felt I accomplished a springtime-fun-spicy-girly look:) 100 points for me!!;)

Frye boots & Cold shoulders

I had been wanting a pair of Frye boots for years now. Every time I go to a store that carries them I try them on and walk around. Each time the same reaction, total disbelief and excitement as to how AMAZING they fit. I mean, like a glove! I even do a little dance in the mirror(when no ones looking) So, I saved and finally found my dream pair, black leather with studs of course. It's like Frye made these Billy hammered boots specifically for me! Like the designer knew me and wanted me to pass out from sheer happiness when I saw them. Don't you love when that happens? I actually display these in my room like a piece of art(does anyone else do that?:)) I decided black jeans and my cold shoulder French Connection top would be perfect for my Billy's today. Spring is here so I feel like I should be dressing in pastels and pretty dresses. While I like those things, I also love to bring out my boots and light sweaters. Leather and neutrals are my favorite, no matter what the season. Plus, New York State in spring can be tricky. So, all in all, this is a perfect spring look for me;)

 

Lazy Leopard Sunday

"A Sunday well spent brings a week of content". I truly believe that. Sunday is a day to relax, recharge, and get stuff done while doing nothing at all. This Sunday while I was doing a million things and being lazy, I decided to go for a walk around the park. I always keep a pair of kicks in my car for moments like this. My outfit was very sporadic and comfortable, not something I would normally go out of the house in. So, on days like these, I throw on my trusty leopard print jacket from Old Navy and it makes everything all better. Leopard to me says: I'm elegant, fun, organized and totally going somewhere special!(even when your not;)) I also wore my leopard print socks from Banana Republic to "fun up" my otherwise boring attire. They didn't really "go" with my kicks, but I thought they were perfect for how I felt. Also, I LOVE scarves, and pretty much every day of my life I have one on. This black fringed cutie from Zara was the perfect choice for this beautiful windy day. My outfit said exactly what I wanted it to say: It's Sunday and I just threw this on, and yes, I am relaxed, sophisticated and fun all at the same time;) Yup!

Overall Love

I have wanted to jump on the overall bandwagon for about a year now, but they all seemed too overall-y for me(You know what I mean?). Until one day I saw these at Urban Outfitters. I fell in love! First off, I love the dark color, I think it makes them a bit dressier. The straight leg fit is amazing and also comfortable, but, my favorite part of these is the back. The way the straps start at the waist and is open for your shirt to show is so cool to me. It also makes them a bit more mature and less teeny bopper. I also decided to wear a buton down blouse with adorable hearts on it to further prove I'm a lady:) While I'm being a lady for the day, what better than pink pointy toe pumps?  The perfect pop of color and chic-ness. I highly recommend these perfect overalls. Go get em!

Flawsome for March

Now I don't know about you, but I buy things and save them for a "special" day. As usual, that "special" day never really comes. It reminds me of this quote: "I have a irrational fear of wasting a good outfit on an insignificant day". So as I was writing this fashion post, I decided to turn it into a Flaw post. I started thinking of all the clothes and things I have just sitting in my closet. Waiting. Waiting for me to have a significant day. I realize at this point in my life that special days just don't fall into our laps. We have to make our day special. Which made me think of another quote "it's a good day to have a good day". So I figured, today is the perfect day to wear my BCBG leathers! I've had these for at least a year. There's been times where I put them on and took them off because I thought: "today isn't good enough". How sad is that? Now, I'm determined to go through my closet and wear things that I've been wanting and waiting to wear;) (you should too!) As I sit here eating the most perfect chocolate chip cookie, working on my blog, with Poirot (one of my fave masterpiece classics) playing on the tv, I think to myself, today was a great day! Especially since I wore my cute pants and my cute top on a day that I deemed special. I call that Flawsome!
