Couch-ella

I am not at Coachella, but I'm not gonna dwell on that or spend hours on Tumblr envying those who are (ok, maybe I did that yesterday), because who says that I can't enjoy it from my couch? 

And no one's stopping me from dressing up either. It would, of course, be a little silly to go all out for watching a livestream, but these toned down looks are definitely couch appropriate: 

Wildfox  Jumper / Plaid Fringe Top / Paige Denim Skinny Jeans / Whistles Boyfriend Jeans, / Steve Madden Fringe booties / Vans / Steve Madden Sandals / H&M cotton scarf / H&M for Coachella glasses

No you just gotta tune in, enjoy, and repeat the whole thing next weekend.

Who was your fave act this year?

Rudolph the Red Toes Reindeer

Red nails are always in style, but in December they are always a little brighter, shinier, and most importantly sparklier:

Pineapple Express

What are the odds? The day I finally decide to put on that crazy print romper I got last summer,  IFB challenges us to write a post about our favorite prints.

I usually prefer solids over prints, and I have to admit that this River Island romper was a joke gift from my mom in an attempt to mock my fondness for pineapples. But since it was rather hot today, and all my shorts were in the laundry I figured why not...

To make the tropical print a little more town friendly I paired it with brown Sperrys and a simple linen cardigan.  And lets just say I may have found a new appreciation for tropical prints.

This week's IFB Project is all about the greatest fabric of them all: denim! 

At first I simply wanted to post an outfit of the day but there were just too many options, all of these looks did, however, include one item: my good old denim shirt.
 

I wasn't always a fan of denim shirts. I live in jeans, and in my opinion  the whole denim on denim look was just one pair of western boots away from a cowgirl costume - but I recently discovered how wrong I was, and now I find myself rocking the denim on denim style at least one a week. 

All it took were the right accessories! 

(and a little inspiration from J. Crew)

Chambray Shirt / H&M lace Skirt  / Mango Skinny Jeans 

Keds Sneakers / Necklace / Leather Belt / Wallace & Barnes weekender

What's your favorite way to rock denim?

Snow Day

I'm pretty much snowed in today. But I'm not complaining, because there's nothing better than a cozy day at home every once in a while. Here are my snow day essentials:

1) cozy oversized sweaters

2) even cozier Moccasins

3) a good read (preferably a thrilling murder mystery)

4) bold nail strips (this is the perfect time to try them out)

5) buckets full of fresh popcorn

6) and tea, lots and lots of tea

What are your snow day essentials?

Peace, Love and (Hershey) Kisses

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

The Fantastic Mr. Fox

Always bright eyed, cunning, and quick, foxes aren't only the stars of many fairy tales and fables, but also of this year's fall collections. From Burberry to Tory Burch, the bushy tailed animals are everywhere, and here are a few of my favorite pieces - some of which won't even break the bank (that adorable belt is only 14 bucks...)

Product List: Polyvore

My Favorite? The Tory Loafers of course. The perfect way to the follow the loafer trend, and throw in some subtle fox love. And no one does that better than the lovely Carey Mulligan:

O.O.T.D: Elementary part 2

I didn't post a proper outfit of the day in a while, and surprise surprise I went for something detectivy today.  So channeling my inner Sherlock, Nancy Drew and obviously Pretty Little Liars' Spencer Hastings  I came up with this ensemble:

This isn't an exact representation of my outfit, as my Burberry flats are brown, and my shirt was all horses instead of birds. But I simply like the bird shirt better, and really really really want it, but it's still sold out in my size, but being the fashion detective that I am I'm sure there's a way...
