Head Turner

Urban Outfitters Tank (here or here) / Cosabella Bralette / American Apparel Trousers / J.Crew Pumps (similar)

Once in a while, you have to mix up your routine. For me, neutrals with neutrals is always a fave but this time I decided to switch things up by adding a pop of color in my shoe. These amazing blue patent J.Crew pumps add the perfect dose of spring brights to the ivorys and greys in this look. Another great element to highlight is the "mullet effect". Business in the front, party in the back. Point toe pump, trouser and classic neckline in the front, backless, black bra and bit of swagger in the back. Add all these tips together and you'll make a fresh spring look that will have heads turning.

Saturday Series: Part VI

Naturally, I'm in love with the fact that highwaisted underwear is back. In different fabrics, textures, colors, the possibilities are endless. I opted for this gorgeous lace pair to achieve a sexier granny panty (insert laugh emoji). With a buttery soft tee, frilly socks and a rhinestone choker, there's a retro allure that ups your homey uniform. Happy weekend and girly relaxation.

New Military

Gryphon Jacket (here or here) / JCrew Top (almost identical) / Zara Pants (almost identical) / Tibi Mules

The military trend always seems to stick around but morphs into different interpretations. We had little surges of the anorak and camo, and now, a more literal and structural military inspiration has come to the runways and the street. In clean lines and silhouettes with a touch of hardware, it's a fresh take on military, utility, and minimalism.

I snagged this jacket at a Gryphon sample sale and have been unable to find anything like it since! The "tails" if you will, straps on the cuff, and metals swept me off my feet. Paired with neutrals and sharper silhouettes, I completed this "new military" look. While I couldn't snag you my jacket, check out some others that are right up that alley above!

Très Bien

[gallery type="square" ids="1660,1655,1659,1656,1657,1661,1658"]

CHRLDR Tee / JCrew Shorts (similar) / Sam Edelman Booties / Vintage RayBans

Très bien, et vous? This outfit sums up a few of my favorite essentials: a graphic tee, structured black short, leopard booties, and wayfarers (preferably vintage!) I hold these RayBans near and dear to my heart as they are my late grandfather's from the 1950s when RayBan first launched the infamous classics. I love the oversized shape and slight tilt that gives them a bit of differentiation from the modern design. Start with the Bans or any of the other essentials for a solid foundation to your wardrobe. Easy, breezy, and à la mode (without the ice cream).

White Out

[gallery type="rectangular" ids="1283,1284,1285,1286,1282,1287,1288,1289,1290,1291,1292,1293"]

J.Crew Baseball Tee / Acne Denim / Birkenstocks

Another favorite "go to"= all white. I'm on the verge of wearing my white birks just about everyday and adding them to an all white outfit (even casual) elevates the entire thing. I also snagged this tee in J.Crew's sale section with an additional 40%. Winning. Shop it all by clicking the links above :)

Fully Printed

J.Crew Printed Top and Jeans / Gap Smoking Flatsd (similar)

An oldie but a goodie, pairing printed separates is a fun and unexpected way to mix up your daily wardrobe. I fell in love with this trend last summer and still love it today! It may be a bit daunting at first, but pair it with a subtle confidence (and solid/neutral accessories) and you'll be on your way!
