Safari Scarf

Today's casual look combines a khaki (yes, two outfits involving khaki in a row!) skirt with your standard stripe top. Mixing prints is a fashion favorite and adding a light weight scarf with wild safari elements amps up a basic look. Feeling the urge for color, I'm prancing around in green suede flats.

Plum Crazy

I find myself stuck in a rut and channeling deep hues during this polar vortex (well, for NC standards). To add attitude, I enlist the help of my geo-print overcoat over plum and keeping cozy with a faux fur infinity scarf. 

Coat: Nicole Miller (great option here); Sheath Dress: Banana Republic (similar here); Fur Scarf: Anthropologie (similar here); Bootie: Nine West (loving this updated version); Bracelets: David Yurman, Lily & Laura, Kenneth Jay Lane; Watch: Michele.

Posh Hot Pink

This frock is anything but fussy; it's a throw-on-and-go kind of dress! The bright colors and print are vivid, so I went with subtle brown wedges. Since my color crush is slightly out of control, I couldn't resist the neon MAC to throw over my shoulder.

Playful Pattern

I'm convinced that a pattern can amp up any attire! Not only do I adore the color combo of the frock, I think  it can dazzle from work to play! The print is just edgy enough, but add the heels and a refined necklaces for glam.

Just Add Sun

Warm weather brings sweet summertime back into existence and more of my weekends are spent sea-side. This light-weight breezy cover-up reminds me of resort-wear at its finest. The rainbow of brights beside crystal blue water put me directly on island time. Accessories include a small muted gold shimmer clutch and a basic, natural sandal.

Print Smitten

As the girl that is totally smitten with striking prints, I adore this frock! It's fun and just flirty enough! I also like the marrying of the two fabrics with the lace detail around the neckline. With the dress being so busy, I went with my go-top black pump. Happy Friday!

Chain Reaction

There's a new print in town and if you're a slave to fashion, this might just be your  missing link! DVF had the chain link print trend down a few seasons ago, but it's recently emerged with a vengeance. As if you needed to be told, colored denim is a must! The mustard color transcends beautifully for fall and works well with most color palettes. Happy Friday! xoxo

Mad about Prints

This funky printed long coat is not only lavish, but was a steal! While briefly living in NY, I snagged this Nicole Miller gem at a Loheman's! It can enhance the most simple of attire! I like to venture out with colored tights. As much as I love black, I can't help but want a splash of color, even if it is subtle. The eggplant tights (thank you Katie Whitmore Christmas 2009) are in heavy rotation for fall!
