Tulle is such a celebratory fabric, isn't it? Since it's my birthday, I thought this skirt would be the perfect outfit to post on the blog today. Now I'm off to enjoy my birthday celebrations with the hubby for an extended long weekend! Happy Friday lovelies!

I love April. Not only is it my birth month, but it's also when new life is being breathed into nature. Every Spring I look forward to seeing the cherry blossom trees burst into fluffy pink and white flower clouds delicately suspended in the air from its branches. It's a short-lived season, which is why I take every opportunity I can to photograph cherry blossoms in all their glory - just check my Instagram feed for proof!

Colour Crush: Powder Blue

Sunglasses || Satchel || Blazer || Flats || Skirt || Nail Polish || Bralet

I have been drawn to all things powder blue while on my shopping escapades as of late. It's light, fresh, and reminds me of Spring skies. Since I've always been a pink and purple kind of gal, I actually don't own any powder blue pieces, which gives me the perfect excuse to do some shopping. Here are some sweet baby blues that have caught my eye (namely, the powder blue mini satchel).

Leopard Love

{ Leopard Coat: H&M (old, similar) // Blouse: Old Navy (old) // Boyfriend Jeans: Gap (on sale!) // d'Orsay Flats: Ruche // Bag: Alexander Wang "Rocco" // Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs }

The scene: my 4-year-old daughter looking at her gifted leopard-print leggings from her birthday:

"Mommy, what's this?"
"Leopard pants."
"Leopard?! I don't want to be a leopard!"
"You won't become a leopard, it's just a leopard pattern. It's cute!"
"Oh, ok. I like leopard now."

Me too, Charlotte, me too.

Fashionably Fixated on...

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

My current shoe obsession is with d'Orsay flats. They're a simple twist on the basic flat with a truly elegant feel (I can imagine Audrey Hepburn donning them with cigarette trousers). Luckily there's a pair for everyone with prices ranging from high (Jenni Kayne) to low (Forever 21). My personal fave is Ruche's classic black and white striped d'Orsay flats, which I may or may not have just purchased ;) Is this a shoe style you'll be trying?

Off Duty

{ Leather Jacket: H&M // Top: Urban Outfitters (old) // Tulle Skirt: Ruche (last seen here) // Belt: Wilfred // Booties: ShoeMint // Bag: Badgley Mischka // Sunglasses: Ray-Ban // Jewelry: OASAP necklace (c/o); HRH Collection Original Ombre bracelet }

This leather jacket was the one piece I had my eye on ever since H&M revealed their New Icons collection. The genuine leather, motorcycle style and zipper details meld into the perfect combination of street style cool to create a look that H&M touts as "model-off-duty." I do admire the styles of models like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Miranda Kerr, so if there's a piece that will emulate their chic off duty style, I'll take it!

Channeling Carrie

{ Denim Jacket: H&M // YSL Tee: vintage via Front & Company (old) // Tulle Skirt: Ruche (sold out, similar here and here) // Shoes: Christian Louboutin // Bag: Chanel // Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs // Lipstick: MAC "Candy Yum Yum" }

I'm officially ready to ditch the tights, as you can see here. It feels so good to go out with bare legs, even if it's still a little premature temperature-wise. To keep warm, my Spring uniform this season is revolving around my denim jacket (last seen here). It's a fantastic piece for layering and perfect for dressing down items like this tulle skirt. I'm definitely having a Carrie Bradshaw moment in this skirt (who can forget her iconic outfit from Sex and the City's opening credits?) and I love it.
