Life's A Playground

This is such an easy look that it's one of my favorite outfits. I also love mixing the floral lace on the jacket with the floral print on the dress.

Floral Leggings: One Item, Two Ways

I had been holding off on the floral leggings trend for awhile because I couldn't find a pair that I really liked and had colors that I could incorporate well into my closet. I recently came across this pair from Urban Outfitters and was immediately drawn to them because of the fall colors. A bold pattern can be daunting so I decided to show you how you can dress them up or down to make an outfit that works without doing too much.

Outfit #1:

Pair them with darker solids and nude flats to make the pants the focal point of the outfit. Because I added the flashy necklace and oxblood blazer, I kept my hair and makeup sleek and simple.

blazer: Dalaga NYC, Sweater: Urban Outfitters; Flats: Madewell; Necklace: J.Crew

Outfit #2:

Play off of the colors in the floral pattern. I decided to highlight the autumn colors in my leggings by wearing a yellow button down and adding a berry lip. A high bun and lace up booties completed this fun look.

I think patterned leggings are a fun way to liven things up in the cold weather. What do you all think??

Out & About

I recently bought these coral platform heels from Bakers about a couple of weeks ago. I absolutely love them for the summer and decided to wear them to add a touch of color to this dark outfit.

I was inspired by this photo of Beyonce heading to dinner a couple of months ago.

Here is another outfit shot from a recent outing with friends.

Thank you all for reading. I finally hit over ten thousand views and I feel so blessed :)

Everything is Roses

For the last day of spring break we headed to Foxwoods Casino in CT to try and make it big (it was a fail).

I wore this floral print skirt from Nasty Gal.

With a tan shirt from Urban Outfitters that had a low cut back.

And snakeskin gladiator heels from H&M.
