Finally Free

...Of tights, heavy coats and yes, fur and leather. Its been real guys, but its time to pack it up and GO. While the seasonal changeover in my closet always gives me anxiety (its a massive project guys, but that's another story,) I'm gleefully giddy to be wearing this sundress.

Talk to me in July when its so hot you can barely move and I'll likely be curse any and all forms of clothing, but for now, its a fresh start. Time to say hello to some old forgotten friends and make room for some new ones. Oh, and patios of course. All the patios, please and thank you.

Silver Lining

//1//

If you have read this blog for more than 2 minutes (thanks by the way) than you know that I have a slight (ok major) obsession with gold. Whether its a chunky link bracelet or a gold sequin skirt, I just can't get enough. Lately though, I've been drawn to (gasp!) Silver. I'm not just talking accessories either.

If you're not already a fine of that other metal, then I think you will be after looking at these photos! From just a hint (like silver shoes) to in your face (hello silver pants), these ladies show how its done.

Better off Red

Red is one of those colors that I love in theory but find it hard to pull of in real life. I have a few red items that I adore, but lately only serve the purpose of adding color to my closet. It always made me feel a little too Va Va Voom for daytime.

Lately I've been noticing though that I keep being drawn to a lot of Red-centric looks. So my new mission is to incorporate more red in my daily style, while avoiding the overly Vegas or Valentine overtones. 

The key seems to be incorporating at least one pattern and/or contrasting color that both compliment, but also tone down, the boldness of the red. As always, accessories are my favorite icing on the cake (er, outfit.)

These lovelies pull it off perfectly!

Of course, sometimes a piece is so stunning that it deserves to pop all on its own. This one wakes you up more than a triple espresso!
