Maximum Style

From left to right: 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 

Hi everyone! Sorry it's been a while since I've updated my blog...my life has been pretty hectic the last few days with work and studying partial derivatives (Calculus 3, why must you be so difficult?!). I had grand plans to take all of these awesome pictures while in Chicago over the weekend and I literally took only two pictures with my phone. Believe me, I'm mad at myself too! All the more reason to go back soon though, right?! ;)

To celebrate the fact spring is finally here (despite the snow and cold temperatures trying to prove otherwise), here are some great maxi dresses to help kick-start your spring fever with some bright colors! For how much I love maxi dresses, I'm sad to say that I only have one in my closet. This needs to change because they are the perfect staple for the spring and summer seasons! Maxi dresses are one of those pieces that easily transitions from day to night with the simple addition of accessories and layers. Wear it at the beach and when it's time to get dinner in the evening, throw over a jean or moto jacket with a necklace and a ring or two and you're good to go!

 P.S.

Here is one of the two pictures from the weekend...the sun came out long enough to capture the bright kelly green color of the Chicago River!

Seeing Stripes: Shop J.Crew's Sale

Necklace // Shirt // Hat // Sweater // Friendship Bracelet // Square Link Bracelet // Swim Top // Swim Bottoms // Pants // Ankle Wedge Boots // Cardigan

It's always a good day when I check my email and I have a message from J.Crew announcing an extra 30% off sale item! Above are some of my sale picks that I wouldn't mind magically appearing in my closet one way or another :)

It wasn't until I was finished compiling the board together that I realized nearly all of the pieces had stripes in some shape or form. What can I say, I love the nautical influence they add to an outfit and it's a timeless, classic pattern that can go with anything! What's not to love?! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to do some shopping :)

Weekend Wishlist: Happy Friday!

Shirt // Jeans // Blazer // Booties // Open Ring // Barrel Rings

Happy Friday, everyone! 

It's been fun having my sisters home this week and the fun is about to be raised since my cousin will be in town for the weekend! The next few days will be filled with walks around town, drinking lots of coffee, and getting serious with our board gaming. 

I hope you all have a nice, relaxing weekend! :)

Which "Starbucks Size Budget" are you?

Vest - LOST Wallace, $44.99 // Jeans - Boohoo, $40 // Heels: Dorothy Perkins, $39 // Bag - Dorothy Perkins, $49

 Vest - Abercrombie & Fitch, $70 // Jeans - 7 for All Mankind, $189 // Heels - Nine West, $99 // Bag - Topshop, $150

Vest = Proenza Schouler, $395 // Jeans - Genetic Denim, $231 // Heels - Saint Laurent Paris, $585 // Bag - Prada, $1890

Ever since I saw this picture of the lovely Cara Delevingne strutting her stuff, I've been wanting to "recreate" Roberto Cavalli's runway look. Once again, I am in love with the wedding of feminine and masculine details that is currently trending. I'm planning on rocking a similar ensemble come springtime and throughout the summer!

As a newly recent working girl, I don't exactly have the money reserves to go buy this exact outfit sadly. Because of this, I came up with three different outfits inspired by the look for people with different budgets. And since my blog's name is coffee-inspired, it was only fitting to label the budgets after different coffee sizes. :)
