Jetset Inspiration

The Moroccan inspiration to this skirt makes me want to pack my bags and head abroad! A Parisian stripe top helps keep with the travel theme. I love the marriage of unexpected patterns. All I need is my passport and over-sized sunglasses to hop across the big pond!

Feminine Charm

Something about the silhouette of a fit and flare that is so flirty and feminine! I find it flattering on a shorter figure. May flowers are blooming and the humidity is rising, which means navy stripes are begging to be worn! The combination of navy, white and gold is slightly nautical but screams chic! Such a simple palette, but such a bold statement.

A Geo Thing

Geometric prints are back for spring and I couldn't be more giddy! It never fails for my line of vision to divert directly to a print or pattern. Hence falling in love with this fun (almost party-like) abstract skirt. The skirt speaks for itself with it's flare and subtle pleats, so I kept with the navy theme and nude complement.

Pirate Flag and an Island Girl

It took a little vitamin D to get me into a spring like mood. After some time off from blogging, I'm back with no tights or heavy overcoats. Actually, I'm embracing the opposite. A getaway to paradise put me on island time and what better way to celebrate sun and sand than in a light-weight cover-up and sandals...oh, and a margarita doesn't hurt!

A Glimpse of Spring

Luckily, NC has a reprieve from snow flakes and ice. I'm taking advantage of sunny days and breaking out a spring hue. Loving lilac; I've paired the tunic with textured leggings and a suede bootie. Sunshine, keep it coming!

Simple Shift

Oh, the life of a fashion blogger posing for pictures on the windy downtown streets! A muted palette seems to be the trend as the NC wintery mix continues. I can only seem to muster the energy for a dress and boots. Today, it's back to black and white. Sigh!

Basic Black

I have to admit, I'm yearning to trade my wool blends for linen in lieu of spring. Until the sun decides to make an appearance, I'm sticking to the basic black sweater dress and boots. Unable to resist color, I wrap up in a patterned scarf.
