Army Green + Hot Pink

 Shirt - Zoa // Jacket - Joie (also here) // Jeans - J Brand // Sandals - J.Crew (similar here) // Watch - Target // Bracelet - H&M // Necklace - Urban Outfitters // Shades - Illesteva

Word to the wise: do not take pictures on a breezy day and expect your hair to cooperate. It will not.

I saw this photo on Stockholm Streetstyle and was inspired to pair army green and hot pink together with my own take on the color combo. The toughness of the green with the vividness and girlyness of the pink is an unexpected color that works well and I can't get enough of it! There is something about mixing the rough and tough with more feminine pieces that makes them complement each other so nicely, it is fun to experiment and find fun, new combinations!

What are some of your favorite combinations of colors or types of clothing that you like to pair together? I'd love to know! :)

Happy almost holiday weekend...T-4 days, we can make it! ;)

 Happy Monday everyone!

This weekend did not start so fun with me having to stay in Friday night for my Saturday math final, but quickly picked up once said final was finished. The rest of the time was spent with family (both sisters and my aunt were in town!), taking long walks through my favorite park, going out with friends, and eating lots of delicious food. And coffee. Lots of coffee. 

I hope you all are recovered from the weekend and Cinco de Mayo celebrations! I know I will be feeling the pain this week from lack of sleep, but hey it's all worth it when you can maximize quality time with those whose company you enjoy :)

Spring Awakening

Monty Python??

Coat - J.Crew (great alternative here) // Sweater - GAP (similar) // Pants - J Brand // Sunglasses - Urban Outfitters (similar) // Shoes - Madewell // Purse - Dooney & Bourke (dream bag here)

It's days like today where I can feel spring is around the corner: the sun was shining, the wind was still and the snow melting, and there were even BIRDS chirping! I cannot wait for weather where I can go for a run in just a t-shirt and shorts instead of layers upon layers. People that know me well also know I'm weirdly obsessed with the couple weeks tree leaves bud and appear. Ahh, spring get here soon! Please :)

The Neutral Zone

From left to right:

Jackets: 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5

Shirts/Cardigans: 1 // 2 // 3 (need this t-shirt!) // 4 // 5

Jeans: J Brand

Shoes: 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5

From left to right: As soon as I purchased my plane ticket to Europe, I immediately began searching on Pinterest to see what sort of fashion and clothing Europeans wear. I'm one of those people who does not want to stick out like a sore thumb in places unfamiliar to me, so serious the clothes I pack for my trip. 

The first thing I noticed right away was the color choices in clothing, or lack thereof is more like it. Nearly every picture I found featured a tall, leggy girl dressed in layers of neutral colors and a scarf or statement necklace to complete their look. If they were wearing a more playful color it usually was used as an accent, like with the scarf or their shoes or purse.

I've always been more drawn to wearing brights (which is probably why I'm drawn to J.Crew...I'm like a moth attracted to the light in that sense), but there is something about wearing all neutrals that feels cool, edgy, classy, and glamorous all at once. After looking through those pictures, I felt inspired to come up with my own ideas on how to pull together a neutral ensemble. *p.s. Can you tell I'm obsessed with moto jackets as of late? ;)*
