Springtime Gingham!

Hey All and Happy Hump Day!
 
Today we're talking about gingham in the springtime!
 
The gingham pattern has been very popular the past couple seasons. A basic black and white gingham is a great piece to have in your wardrobe and is a wonderful transition top from season to season. I wanted to pair my popular patterned shirt with my favorite color of the season: yellow!
 
I styled the top with an amazing A-line yellow skirt from the Limited. I accessorized the casual chic outfit with a leopard print belt, a pretty statement necklace, my everyday watch and nude pumps. This ensemble is the perfect springtime look!

The Jumpsuit

Happy Hump Day Everyone!

Today is all about the jumpsuit! The one piece has been very trendy on the fashion scene; gracing the runways and local streets. The jumpsuit is very versatile and can worn to just about any event. Wear it casual with some cute flat sandals and simple jewelry or dress it up with a strappy pair of high heeled sandals and some bold accessories.

I found this classic black jumpsuit at the Limited, on sale. The cut is amazing, and it came with a sleek gold-plated belt, which give it a nice touch. I styled the one-piece with nude strap heels and some gold statement earrings. Simple and classic!

How are you wearing a jumpsuit this season?

Minty Fresh Lace

Good Morning Everyone!
 
Shorts season is upon us, and today, I'm styling a perfect spring shorts outfit!
 
Lace, lace, lace! What girl doesn't love lace? It's pretty, delicate, feminine details can make an outfit sophisticated and polished. Today, I'm pairing this beautiful lace blouse from The Limited with a pair of mint shorts. Mint has been very popular in the spring and summer seasons. It's pastel hue lends a breath of fresh air to an outfit. So it only makes sense to pair these two fashion trends together.
 
I styled the shorts outfit with a tan belt, strappy wedges, statement earrings, some arm candy, and a pair of aviators. Minty Fresh Lace!
 
How do you wear shorts in the spring season?
 
(And man, so I need a tan!)

Into the Wild

Happy Monday Everyone!
 
 
Today we're going into the wild with this amazing leopard pencil skirt from The Limited. An animal print is the perfect neutral to spice up any outfit. The pattern goes well with so many colors, whether it be the basics, bolds or pastels.
 
In this outfit, I took more of a classic look and added a pop of coral. I paired the pencil skirt with a basic black top and added some color with a coral bow belt and peep toe shoes. A sophisticated, classy, exotic look for the everyday working girl!
 
Enjoy the rest of this beautiful day!

Easy, Breezy

Happy Tuesday Everyone!
 
Hope your week is off to a great start!
 
Today we're talking about an easy, breezy piece of clothing: the dress! When you're in a pinch and don't know what to wear, a dress is the perfect solution, especially in the warmer weather! It's easy to slip on and fun to style!
 
Today I'm wearing this cute little number from The Limited. I accessorized with a cobalt blue necklace, matching pumps and a neon yellow clutch. Simple, stylish and easy, breezy!

A Spring Scarf

Good Morning and Happy Saturday!

Hope you're having a beautiful weekend!

Today I wanted to share with you a recent purchase I made from J.Crew. I've been on the hunt for the perfect spring scarf this season. The ideal scarf had to blend well with many spring colors, possess an eye catching feature and have the ability to be styled in different ways. In comes J. Crew.

This amazing scarf from J. Crew was the treasure to my hunt. This scarf can be worn with many hues, the neon embroidered detail screams "look at me" and the length and width allows the scarf to be worn in a variety of ways! 

I decided to go for a more casual look today. I wanted the scarf to be the star of the show. I paired my recent find with a basic navy cardigan, a white tank, distressed jeans and yellow pumps. A relaxed canvas to showcase this beautiful spring scarf!

Blazing in Style

Happy Hump Day!

Another beautiful day here in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The sun is shining, the birds are singing and there is NO snow in sight!

Today I wanted to showcase this amazing striped blazer from The Limited's spring collection. Blazers are an essential part of my wardrobe. They have the ability to make an outfit look crisp, classy and chic. The style and color of this blazer can be combined with any outfit. I decided to pair the jacket with a yellow detailed tank, black skinny pants and my mustard pumps. Throw on some statement jewelry and you'll certainly be blazing in style!

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone!

Classy, Sophisticated and Fun....in the Sun!


Happy April Everyone!

Warm weather? Time to get out those skirts and bare those legs! I simply love wearing sleek cut pencil skirts to work in the spring season. With the sun shining and warmth in the air, I think this outfit is a great choice to kick off the month!

I had a super fun time with patterns today. I paired this navy blue polka dot blouse with a subtle floral patterned pencil skirt in a beautiful coral color, all from The Limited. To add a little twist to the outfit, I accessorized with this amazing animal print skinny belt, a chunky pearl necklace, some simple nude pumps and of course my Michael Kors shades. Classy, sophisticated, and fun....in the sun!

Hope you all are enjoying this beautiful weather! I sure am!
