Playful Prints

In fashion, Spring is right around the corner! In the real world, we are shivering and trenching through the snow in our favorite pair of snow boots. Why not atleast take a look at what the designers have in store for us and imagine somewhere sunny and warm.

This Karian Grimaldi top is a great option for the work week. Its flowy, comfortable, and has an interesting pattern to spice up a boring day.

Pair this Winter Kate “Grace” tunic with a pair of dark skinny jeans or leggings and your favorite pair of high heeled boots.

Totally in love with this Bohemian Thread Social dress! It’s a must-have for my wardrobe and I like it with tights and little booties. Wear it with gladiator sandals in the warmer months.

Have a Spring event or wedding to attend? This psychedelic dress by Babi is bright and classy all at once.

This 3/4 sleeve angled dress by chris Benz could be another choice for you for a more casual affair.

These two dresses by Jill Stuart are two of my favorite pieces I have seen this season for Spring. It reminds me of a piece by DVF 2 years ago, LOVE!


Ofcourse we have to discuss the shoes...Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent has a few artful styles that I really like.


And for going out, this edgy leopard print bootie by Balmain would be a standout item with a solid colored outfit.
Alice + Olivia has these two flirtatious dresses that are made for a night out with your girls.

Femme Frills

Recently I have been seeing alot of rough around the edges kind of looks for women and not so much of the pretty pink romantic look. Although I have seen a mixture of the two! For example a black tutu, pretty but a little punk rock at the same time. One of my favorite designers William Rast does this very well from season to season with designing with femininity in mind, but still throwing in some leather and denim.

Add a little sexiness to an outfit with these leather fingerless gloves by Juicy Couture or lace leggings!
Sex it up for night with this lace bustier. Pair it with jeans and a cropped jacket over it and a pair of leopard print pumps

Carry all your necessities in this metallic Halston Heritage clutch or this black feather style

Skin tight metallics remind be of a women playing a villain in a movie, it gives off a little of that bad ass vibe! This Torn by Ronny Kobo dress is a great way to feel bad
Faux fur exudes confidence, class, and mystery. All of theses style below are perfect ways to bring out your inner Cruella Deville (But without the real fur ofcourse)


It’s the weekend and you and the girls are going out but don’t feel like taking the time to get overly dressed up, what will you wear? Try a one shoulder black lace top like this one by Only Hearts
Or a body hugging lace dress like this version by Nightcap

For all these living on the edge styles you have to have a great pair of shoes to complete the outfit. I love these furry booties by Dolce Vita and this lace platform by Report
