Rosy Cold Shoulder

8:12:00 PM

Happy Thursday!

I hope you have all had a great week. I am so glad the weekend is almost here! Since it's finally starting to warm up here in Albuquerque (and I'm hoping it will actually last) I pulled out this gorgeous cold shoulder top. If you know me, you know I'll probably never get over the cold shoulder trend! I think it adds a chic twist to any casual top, and it's super flattering on every body type. This top is also a rosy shade of pink that I have been obsessed with lately. I paired it with all black pants and boots to make the pink really pop!

The OTK boots are from JustFab, and I love the lace-up details on the side. They are a tiny bit taller than most of the heels I own, which originally made me a little nervous, but surprisingly easy to walk in and not painful at all! However, they don't really have any grip on the bottom, so they can be slippery on certain floors. Plus, they were under $60, so I'm definitely thinking of buying another pair in gray! As for jewelry, I chose my gold chain choker and gold watch from Charming Charlie! I love the way gold looks next to the black and rosy pink.

Have a great weekend!

Black, White & Bold

11:51:00 AM

Happy Friday guys!

I've been practically living in neutrals lately, so I decided to mix things up a bit with some bold colors! This fluffy white sweater is just as warm as it is chic! I love how simple it is, but the fuzzy texture makes it different than any other sweater I own. Because it is so simple, there are so many ways to wear it. I would definitely call it an essential to my winter wardrobe. The shoes are Jessica Simpson, and I love the bright purple color! I know I'm going to be living in these during the spring and summer because they are so bright and colorful. However, I think they are also a great color for winter, and definitely a good change from my usually neutral winter wardrobe. I couldn't find these exact ones online (I bought them at TJ Maxx a few months ago), but I linked a similar pair!

As for the bag, it's the Kate Spade Cobble Hill Maris in the shade Alice Blue. I think the name describes the color perfectly, because it does remind me of Alice in Wonderland or Cinderella. It's just bright enough to draw attention, without being too overbearing. The bag is also an amazing size- it fits my camera with my wallet and makeup (which is super convenient for someone like me who loves bringing my camera everywhere)!

For my makeup, I couldn't resist matching my lipstick to my shoes, so I wore the Mac Viva Glam Ariana Grande II lipstick. It's a mix of pink and purple which I love! I think it is a great shade for those who want to start experimenting with lipsticks and trying something other than the classic pinks, reds, and neutrals. It definitely leans more on the purple side without being too big of a leap into the bold shades because (if you're like me) sometimes you gotta test the waters and push your boundaries a little before diving all the way in.

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

Kate Spade Bailey Street Vikki

11:08:00 AM

This is officially my first post of 2017! I hope you all have had amazing holidays and rang in the new year on a positive note.

This week's look features my new favorite purse- the Kate Spade Bailey Street Vikki in Posy Pink. This was an early birthday gift from my wonderful boyfriend Matt, and I was super excited about it because I've been wanting one for so long! I am even more obsessed with it than I thought I would be. I love the beautiful light pink color- especially for winter! The size is a lot bigger than it looks, and I'm able to fit everything I normally carry with me (wallet, phone, keys, makeup, etc) without it looking overly full!

I chose to pair it with a white sweater from H&M and these nude heels from JustFab. I love the girly bows on the back of these heels- such a cute touch! As you can probably tell from the jewelry, I am absolutely obsessed with rose gold. The earrings I'm wearing are from @SUSAJewelry. Matt surprised me with these stunning rose gold rings from Pandora not too long ago and I absolutely love them. The princess ring is perfect for me because it combines my two favorite things: fairy tales (aka Disney) and rose gold!

As for my lips, I decided to keep up my pink theme with the Fabby lipstick from Mac! It's a nice light pink color with a hint of gold shine and it's currently my favorite lipstick. I love the frost formula because it's almost a sheer metallic. It's also nice to give my lips a break from matte lipsticks (they always dry them out)! It's a pretty sheer color on its own so I definitely suggest using a lip liner (I used Mac's Edge to Edge) underneath to intensify the color.

The Prettiest Pea Coat

10:15:00 AM

Happy Holidays!

I hope you are all having an amazing week so far. I've been spending mine doing a ton of last-minute gift shopping because I am the biggest procrastinator ever. I was thinking about doing a tiny last minute gift guide, but I have a feeling absolutely no one waits until this late except me! Because I've had to spend a lot of time running errands in this freezing weather, I decided to pull out my absolute favorite pea coat. I bought this from Charlotte Ruse, but I linked a similar one from Target below. I am obsessed with maroon during winter, and this coat is an easy way to add a small splash of color to my seemingly all-black wardrobe!

I paired it with a pair of black jeans from American Eagle and my go-to black booties. I would definitely say these booties are an essential piece of my wardrobe in fall/winter. They work really well with the dark colors I tend to wear in these colder months, and actually also look great with skirts if you want to dress them up a bit! As for jewelry, I've been pretty obsessed with chokers lately (as you can probably tell from my last few posts). One of my newest favorites is this dainty gold one from Charming Charlie. I love how small and delicate it is.

I hope you all have wonderful holidays with your loved ones.

Dark Blue Cardi

9:55:00 AM

Happy Tuesday!

With winter weather right around the corner, I decided to take advantage of the fact that it's still warm(ish) enough to ditch the poofy jackets and live in cozy cardigans! For today's look, I paired this deep blue cardi with a white top, white jeans, and these super cute brown booties! I bought the cardigan from Marshalls, but I linked a similar one below.

The booties are, of course, from my favorite online shoe store- Justfab! They were recently having a sale on booties, and how could I say no? If you haven't tried Justfab yet, you definitely should! Your first pair is only $10 and they do super easy returns. Plus, almost all their shoes are under $50, which is right in my price range.

I hope you all have a great week!
