Shop Radiant Orchid: Pantone Colour of the Year 2014

One | Two | Three | Four | Five | Six | Seven | Eight | Nine | Ten |

I am ecstatic about this year's Pantone Colour of the Year, Radiant Orchid, because this shade of purple is my favourite colour (my bridesmaids' dresses were the exact same shade as this tee). Here are some of my Radiant Orchid shopping picks. How will you wear 2014's Pantone Colour of the Year?

Snow Day

{ Ombre Wool Moto Jacket: Gap // Sweater: Zara (old, similar) // Coated Jeans: H&M (old) // Boots: Chinese Laundry // Boot Socks: Old Navy // Bag: Kate Spade // Sunglasses: Prada // Jewelry: HRH Collection necklace; INPINK ring (c/o) }

The snow left almost as quickly as it came, because as I write this post the rain has completely washed away all the snow. During its short-lived stay, I discovered a new obsession that's not only practical for keeping warm but is also super cute: enter boot socks. They come in an array of colours and patterns, and are such a fun way to add an extra layer of interest to an outfit. I've already bought two pairs (this pair I'm wearing here and an over-the-knee pair) and see many more in my future. If you haven't worn them before, give them a try! They'd also make great stocking stuffers :)

White Hot

{ Romper: H&M // Sandals: DV by Dolce Vita "Archer" // Bag: Kate Spade New York (similar) // Sunglasses: Chloe // Jewelry: Urban Outfitters necklaces; bfrend Flora bracelet; JewelMint Gold Reef ring // Lipstick: MAC RiRi Woo (very similar) }

Romper. Jumper. Playsuit. Whatever you want to call these adult onesies, I highly recommend getting one for yourself. A top and bottom that's attached together makes throwing something on in the morning so simple. The not so easy part? Going to the washroom. It's a small sacrifice to pay in that department when a piece like this is so cute but I seriously think designers should start putting snaps in the crotch area. Like a bodysuit. Or a baby onesie. Who's with me on this?
