Sand & Glitter: Sperry Top-sider Feature

Vacation is supposed to be relaxing but sometimes the most stressful part is packing! If you are heading to the beach or a nice resort, it is hard to find a balance of comfortable attire, as well as looking your best on vacation.

I just returned from the Virgin Islands and was so thankful that I packed comfortable shoes, especially these adorable gold-glitter Sperry Topsiders. These chic boat shoes were perfect with sundresses and dressy short, yet I was still able to hike on rocks, especially useful when hiking to see the Baths in Virgin Gorda (stunning!)

Flower Child ✿

Seventies fashion keeps making it’s comeback, especially with everything flowers. I love dainty and soft looks and flowered headbands, shirts, dresses and free-spirited apparel are all on my fashion fave lists this spring and summer. Expect to see more hippie chic with fringe, bleached denim, crop tops, halter dresses, and my personal favorite- platforms. How do you wear your flowers?

Ruffled Details

I love an outfit that can be career chic and translate into a perfect evening outfit as well. These perfectly versatile black legging from H&M have just the right amount of detail with a golden zipper to make them office appropriate.  The ruffled top is perfect with a simple boyfriend blazer for the office and the perfect top for an post-work happy hour. It was my first stab at open toe shoes this season, although my toes were chilly, I am done with boots and sweaters! Happy spring everyone!

Distressed to Impress

When I was in high school and college, I lived in my Hollister ripped jeans.  I remember shopping with my mom and she would say, “You want me to pay for these jeans?”  Distressed clothing, including torn and faded jeans, are still a staple in my wardrobe.  I love how you can dress up distressed denim with some pumps or dress them down with some casual sneakers.

What is your favorite distressed piece of clothing? How do you style your ripped jeans?

Chilly Weather Sweaters

It’s definitely sweater season in New England. As long as I tried to hang on to my open-toe shoes, it’s time for booties and sweaters in CT. One thing I love about cooler sweater is the ability to look cute while being so cozy in an over-sized sweater like the one I am wearing from H&M (below). This is one of my favorites with a pair of skinny jeans and booties. So simple yet chic. What is your favorite thing to wear in chilly weather?
