Strawberries and Cream

Wimbledon is not only about tennis, it is also about Fashion. But there's no reason to save your white skirts for the court:

That Tory Burch sweater gets the Triple Crown…

The 4 C's

When I saw this week's IFB Project, I knew I had to participate. The assignment was:  "Define Your Style”, and as any fashion fan knows it's one of the hardest questions to answer. I hate putting labels on things. Yes,  I attend an elite University, and yes I own more than three navy cable knit sweaters, but I wouldn't call myself preppy. My iPod is full of Sum and Blink, and yet I wouldn't be caught in a hoody unless I'm working out. And then there's "nerd", but besides my reading glasses I don't aspire to look like a cast member of the Big Bang Theory...

So what exactly is my Style? Well, I like to refer to the 4 magic C's:

the 4 Cs 

My days are usually a constant back and forth between being curled up on the couch with my laptop,  and running around town. So I rely on great shoes and outerwear  to make my casual jeans and t-shirt combos presentable. My grandpa always  used to say something about judging a man by his shoes and coat - and I guess that kinda stuck with me.  A good (and comfortable) pair of black leather flats goes with everything, and can even make a pair of 9.99 H&M jeans (my fave) look sophisticated. And as long as I have a Burberry trench in my closet I know that I'll always be well dressed. 

Another factor is the versatility of this style, the "C" in colorful. If I wake up and want to celebrate my preppy side, I'll choose a bow and a longchamp. if I want to show my wild side I'll go with a skull scarf, and if I want to channel my inner Sheldon Cooper, I'll rock a comic book tote for the day.

So I guess one could define my style as a blank canvas. A blank canvas in good shoes and a Burberry trench.

Look of the Irish

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! I may not be Irish but I do love the color green, even though it is not always easy to pull of (even for a green eyed blonde like myself). But one thing you can never go wrong with are green shoes and accessories. And then there's the option of simply throwing on a green trench over your favorite jeans and t-shirt combo...

What's your favorite way to wear green?

Day 8: Holiday Allstars

As much as I  love my UGGs and Wellies, sometimes a cool pair of Sneakers can't be beat, and who says that you have to put them away for the winter?

I don't think any type of shoe has ever sparked more love or hate controversy than the wedge sneaker, and yes I was on the hate side - until I tried on a pair of Isabel Marants and stepped right over to the love side. However, they were a little out of my price range for something that (despite being awesome!) still wouldn't really go with my wardrobe... So I got amazing lookalikes from ASOS for only 60 bucks.  

…And if the wedges still aren't your thing, how about the shearling lined high-tops from Tory Burch?

These Boots Are Made for Walking

Nothing is more essential for fall than the perfect pair of flat boots, rubber or leather, brown or black, or even in bright colors or patterns.  So here are a couple of my favorites:

Product List (Polyvore)

Nothing beats a classic riding boot. No matter if on the chic side as the chocolate version by Tory Burch, or a little  more rough around the edges like the cognag Sam Edelman boots, there is almost nothing that doesn't go with them, and even the simplest of outfits can look like a million dollars if paired with a good pair of boots. 

Wellies,  on the other hand, are something to have fun with.  The bows on the Ted Baker boots will add a girly touch to anything, while still looking classy. And the quilted Sperry boots are maybe the best practical thing I've seen all year, especially the lace-up ones... 

Peace, Love and Stormy Weather
