Spring Forward

{Dress: H&M | Jacket: Gap | Booties: Vince Camuto (similar here)}

I (like everyone else) need spring to come fast! I decided to stay in and and add some color to my wardrobe. I recently purchased this cute little dress at H&M and am loving the versatility of it.

Looks like we should only have just a few more weeks of winter and we'll be in the clear.

What are some outfits/ways you are beating the winter blues and springing forward?

Last Minute Winter

Coat: Nordstrom (Sold Out) | Jeans: AG | Top: Forever | Hat: Nordstrom (Similar Here) | Boots: Boutique 9 (Old, Similar Here) | Scarf: Nordstrom | Glasses: Ray Ban |

This week, I tried to show PRACTICAL outfits. While I would love to live in a warm climate, that's just not the case for me. I can't frolic around with bare legs, no coat and little heels. At least until spring, we should try to get the most out of what's in our closet, because once spring and summer arrive, we will be saying "bye bye" to some of those favorite winter items.

While I've mostly been in Sorel boots to fight the cold and snow, I decided to pull a pair of leather boots out that I haven't seen in a while. I added a pop of color with this great wrap/scarf that my fiance got  me for Christmas this year.

Dust off some items in your closet and pull them out before it's too late! What are some of your last minute winter wears?

Chunky Knits

{Sweater: Forever 21, Jeans: J Brand, Boots: Sam Edelman, Watch: MK}

I am starting to get really sick of winter. Unfortunately for me, I think the cold season is going to stick around for a bit longer. I found this really cute chunky knit sweater at Forever. I have worn it more times than I thought I would. I like that it works with both blacks and browns. Versatile and contemporary!

Walk

{Maxi: H&M, Shoes: Sam Edelman, Belt: Michael Kors, Jacket: Vince, Scarf: H&M, Bracelet: Tory Burch} 

There is something serene and calming about taking a walk. Even if your walk is to your street stop sign and back, it's always great to take a moment away from the day and enjoy the outdoors! Fresh air can always do us some good!

The "Bailey" Braid

This summer thanks to my bestie Bailey, I learned how to french braid. I love the smooth, yet edgy look that braids create, and the french braid is so classic and a cute! I had been wanting to learn how to french braid for a long time, but never knew how until Bailey taught me. Although not everyone has the luxury of an expert french braid friend like I do, I decided to post up a hair tutorial to show how its done!

{ Start with your hair a little messy and down }

{Separate the hair into a front section. Clip the rest of the hair back and out of the way.}

{Separate three front pieces and begin braiding normally. Each time you go to braid, draw a piece of hair not being used in your section and add it to the piece you are going to braid. I always think "braid, grab new, braid, grab new...and so on. Grab hair from the front and back.}

{See above, I am taking a new piece that is not being used and adding it to the piece I am going to braid.}

{Halfway there!}

{Secure your braid with a small hair tie.}

{Tightly wrap the braid around the side of your head, and secure with bobby pins.}

{Finished product!}

What are some of your favorite braid styles?

Weekend Warmup

[H&M Tunic, Safia Black Necklace, Boutique 9 Moto Boot, Thrifted Vintage Rings, Handmade Leather Wrap Bracelet, Gorjana Bracelet]

This weekend was so warm, highs were in the 60's! It was refreshing to leave the house without a heavy coat, so I decided to take advantage of the nice weather. 

 Could spring be right around the corner?
