Cargo

{Jacket: Daniel Rainn (TJ Maxx) | Jeans: Free People | Booties: DV | Bracelet: DY}

I love to wear black, there's no secret about that. I was really excited to find this amazing cargo jacket from TJ Maxx - great find, and also lightens up the black look!

The zipper detail is perfect, and really gives an edgy feel to this piece. I also added a simple braid to my hair. Sometimes, it's nice to just braid back your bangs and go for the day.

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?

Rope Vase DIY

I've been wanting to make a rope vase for a while, and finally got around to doing it! Below are step by step instructions on how to do it!

What you need:

Start by gluing your rope to the bottom of the vase.

Keep wrapping your rope around the vase. Put a dot of glue on each side to secure the rope. Make sure the rope is right around the vase. 

Once you get to the top, secure your glue and cut the excess.

Fill with flowers and enjoy your new DIY rope vase!

Boyfriend Jeans

{Blazer: ABS | Jeans: Gap Boyfriend | Shoes: Betsy Johnson | Sweater: Forever | Bracelet: DY }

Since it's chilly and snowy outside, I decided to stay in for these photos.

I really love the idea of dressing up a simple pair of jeans - like the boyfriend. It's a classic, yet sophisticated look. I feel I have always struggled with ways to wear my boyfriend jeans.

If you're having trouble styling your boyfriend jeans, think about dressing them up a bit. Add a pair of pumps or wedges for a more feminine look.

What's your favorite way to wear boyfriend jeans?

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?

Barn Red

Jacket: BB Dakota | Shirt: J Crew | Jeans: Gap | Boots: Nordstrom

Despite the bitter cold temperatures and lots of snow this winter, we have had a surprising amount of sunshine. I took advantage of it, and enjoyed an outdoor shoot this weekend.

I love the simple look of a denim shirt and leather jacket. I recently purchased this great faux leather jacket from BB Dakota. It's the only one that I own that is actually a color, and I have already worn it with a bunch of different outfits!

What are your favorite layering pieces?

Hope everyone's having a great week!

{Dress: Forever, Boots: Vince Camuto, Jacket: BCBG (old)}

Lately, since I'm bored with winter, I've been experimenting with what's already in my closet. I find I try to get the most out of all my clothes, and don't limit them to the season when they were purchased. I bought this great dress in the summer, and haven't had a chance to wear it. Sometimes, simply adding a pair of tights to a summery dress can carry it to a different season.

Hope everyone's having a great week!
