{Style} Coral Crush...

I've been super uninspired by my wardrobe lately, especially when it comes to marrying my desire for vibrant spring colours and prints with the fact that I still have a couple months of weather-related despair in my future... Le sigh. I tried perking myself up by concocting a medley of florals and polka dots — heck, I even threw in a pop of coral for good measure — but no dice. Looks like only time, or some unseasonal heat wave, can cure what ails me.

In other news, I'm going to be embarking on Kiehls' 10 day Midnight Recovery Concentrate challenge, so I'll be sharing any changes to my skin over the next 10 days on Twitter and Facebook... Follow along and join the conversation — I'd love to hear your thoughts if you've used the product!

Happy weekending, friendlies! xx

{Style} Minted...

I've been experiencing another bout of SCS (Stuffed Closet Syndrome) lately, which has made my morning outfit planning, well, let's just say it's been less than enjoyable. So when a little speck of mint caught my eye from the depths of my closet, I did what any girl in my position would do — Grab my trusty step ladder and move in closer to investigate. Turns out what I was seeing was a forgotten pair of Zara jeans, crumpled underneath a pile of summer tanks and shattered dreams... The pants' of course, not mine. 

Happy Wednesday, lovelies! xx

{Style} Easy Layering...

There's no easier way to play with layers than with a simple blazer and neutral tights... Once you've got those down, the rest is a cinch. Looking back at this outfit, I would have liked to incorporate a patterned sweater to up the layering ante, but there's no use dwelling on that now... Dang you, hindsight. xx

{Christmas Week} Spots & Dots...

Leopard print might not exactly come to mind when one considers holiday prints (with plaid, argyle, heck, even polka dots seeming more appropriate), but for whatever reason, I'm loving it for Christmas Week. Paired with oxblood and some faux fur — not to mention a festive church backdrop — I'm holiday-ready... Four more sleeps!

{Leather Detail Week} The Leggings...

Next up for leather detail week is this pair of uber comfy leggings, complete with inner knee patches... Is that a thing? If not it should be. Any professors or bearded hipsters reading this take note: Stop showing off those elbows of yours and kindly turn your attention to the inner portions of your knees... Hot.

Happy Thursday, friendlies! xx

{Details} Casual Club...

Now don't judge, but every now and then I feel compelled to bring my vintage Club Monaco sweatshirt out of hibernation. I don't know what it is about that old, familiar logo and its circle-engulfed crest, but I love it. Maybe it's because these sweatshirts saw me through my childhood (that, and pacifier jewelry) making them steeped with nostalgia, or the fact that every crush I ever had ages eight through 10 sported these bad boys too. Shrug. Whatever it is, the CM sweatshirt is alive and well in my heart and on the blog today... I'm sorry and you're welcome. xx

{Style} Dressing Up With Lulus.com...

Sometimes a girl just needs a little sparkle, especially where dresses are concerned. Luckily for me, Lulus.com had just the thing to get me in the mood for some holiday cheer (never too early), as well as date night with my mister... Win-win.

I instantly fell in love with its sparkly, deco-ish print and fit, and can't wait to Christmas-party-it-up in this bad boy... Or at least gorge myself on cookies and eggnog while it hangs nearby, reminding me that despite my temporary bout of gluttony, I am, in fact, still a lady... Most of the time.

{Details} Retail Therapy...

Sheer boredom, coupled with my love of online shopping, led to a little splurge-fest recently... And since I worked from home yesterday, I was around when Mr. Postman came by to deliver the goods. No, not like that pervs, I'm talking about this adorable bag and these hot heels! Now truth be told, my dream animal-embossed bag is a little more Burberry than ASOS, but hey, I do what I can. And how cute are these ShoeMint pumps? My feet are officially ready to parrrtay.

Happy weekending, friends! xx

{Style} Varsity Blues...

I blame this outfit on Pinterest... Why you might ask? Because my impressionable mind saw a pic of a girl wearing a varsity jacket and decided right then and there that I needed one too. Yup, that's how my mind works, ladies and gentlemen. The crazy part is I never even liked them before let alone did I want one. They always seemed so high school to me, conjuring up images of Buffy the Vampire Slayer traipsing around graveyards in an oversized jacket and pink spandex... Hot.

Happy Wednesday, loves! xx

{Style} Sparkle Motion...

There's nothing like a little sparkle to elevate your mood on a cold winter's day, and this skirt was just the ticket. It's like the perfect blend of holiday chic, Liza Minnelli stage-wear and all that jazz... Zing.

Happy Wednesday lovelies! xx
