Keeping Fresh

Zara is SO good right now. There are so many items I want to add to my wardrobe, stat. Like for starters, pretty much all of their blazers. I am a huge fan of blazers; I own about 15 {!}. For me, it's a must to have one in every color because whenever in a fashion doubt, it's the first thing I throw on. Blazers are the easiest way to make any outfit appear professional and the easiest way to stay timeless throughout all the seasons. Try this outwear piece in bright fuchsias, soft powder blues, cabana stripes, or ornate prints to take this classic piece all the way through Summer. The cabana stripe beauty is definitely on my wish list. And if Zara's blazers weren't enough, their incredible printed tops, Barbie-esque dresses, and Southern Belle coats are sure to fill your fashion fix! 

Are any of these beauties calling your name?

Well, loves. Finals have officially come to an end and I am now a free woman! {Well, for a short couple of months that is!} So excited to start enjoying this warm weather! A trip to Santa Cruz is first on my list..

8-to-5 Chic

Blouse: Forever 21 (similar here) | Pants: Halogen | Heels: Zara | Clutch: GiGi New York (c/o) | Sunglasses: Free People | Necklace: Charlotte Russe | Earrings: Aldo (similar) | Ring: Social Experiment (c/o)

My typical ensemble for long work days. 

I love to stay classic with black and white and then incorporate splashes of color through my accessories or a bright lip. Work wear is all about keeping professional, yet still letting your individual style shine through.

What's your go-to work attire?

Anxiously awaiting Summer's arrival, like no other. And seeing these airy dresses from Anthropologie makes me want Summer to come all the more. I can imagine wearing these to take nightly strolls to the local Sweet Retreat, as a stylish cover-up for weekend beach trips, or simply as a pant alternative for work (specifically numbers 1, 4, and 6 ). 

How do you see yourself wearing them? And are you as stoked as I am for Summer?!

Happy Tuesday, friends!

Have a blessed day.

Look of the Week

With the overcast weather that has been happening here lately, this outfit is the perfect fix for staying Spring appropriate yet still cozy. When in doubt, throw on a relaxed stripe shirt, a moto jacket, and some fire engine red nails. The best way to look totally chic yet effortless at the same time.

Happy Friday, loves! Have a great weekend.
