It’s Black and White

On a daily basis, I try to dress by a certain “live colorfully” motto. Yet even I can’t deny that a black and white ensemble is always classic and chic. A black blazer is a closet staple, and I first got the idea to pair them with white dresses + rainboots from this shot of Reese Witherspoon. The bow headband and tassel purse are my own fun additions :)

New England was blessed with a very mild winter last year, with really our only snowstorm being on Halloween(!). This year though, I’m ready for the snow– bring on the crunch under my boots and the layers of sweaters to stay warm!

Back to the grind everyone! After the cheer of Christmas is over, I find it hard to keep up motivation before spring comes around again. That goes for a few things, but most of all, for dressing. Working in a particularly chilly office with a casual dress code, it’s easy to slip into the trap of jeans, cardigans, and [forgive me] Uggs on a daily basis. My goal for January is to take advantage of tights, cute but not too casual sweaters, and warm riding boots [not pictured...].

How are you planing to stay warm, but chic, throughout the rest of the winter months?

Blazers + Baubles + Boyfriends

Leopard loafers, Steve Madden [

This boyfriend blazer + boyfriend jeans look might be a lot cuter with an actual boyfriend. But until I’ve got J Biebs (or more than likely, his older brother) signing me this, I’ve gotta stick with the girl version knockoffs.
