Plaiditude

{ Leather Jacket: Mackage (similar on major sale!) // Stripe Top & Coated Jeans: H&M (old) // Plaid Scarf: Zara // Shoes: Stuart Weitzman // Bag: Burberry // Sunglasses: Ray-Ban Wayfarer // Ring: HRH Collection // Lipstick: MAC RiRi Woo }

I have been living in this oversized blanket scarf from Zara. It's been keeping me warm since the temperature has dipped below zero, and the tartan/plaid patterns are right on point this season. Double the plaid, double the fun!

Neon Florals

{ Denim Jacket: Talula // Top: H&M (old) // Shorts: Wilfred // Shoes: Zara (old, similar) // Bag: Chanel // Sunglasses: Ray-Ban // Jewelry: necklace from Etsy; JewelMint Giza ring // Lipstick: MAC Candy Yum-Yum // Nails: Revlon Jaded }

I picked up these gorgeous neon floral jacquard shorts from the Aritzia warehouse sale last week, and I'm so happy summer is sticking around long enough for me to wear them. They'll definitely be coming along with me to my trip to LA that's coming up really quick! Any recommendations on must-see places to eat and play?

PARIS

{ Paris T-shirt: ASOS // Sequin Shorts: Zara (old, last seen here) // Shoes: Christian Louboutin // Bag: Zara // Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs // Necklace: HRH Collection // Lipstick: MAC Candy Yum-Yum }

Audrey Hepburn once said Paris is always a good idea, but until I can get myself there again, this Paris print boyfriend tee from ASOS will have to do.

Little White Dress

{ Dress: c/o Sugarlips (last seen here) // Denim Jacket: H&M // Ankle Boots: Aldo (old, similar) // Clutch: DIY // Sunglasses: Chloe // Jewelry: Front & Company necklace; rings from Portland Saturday Market // Lipstick: MAC Candy Yum-Yum }

I have a soft spot for little white dresses. They're sweet, have a light, clean aesthetic, and are perfect for the warm summer months. Of course, keeping them clean can be challenging, especially for a klutz like myself, but it's worth it when you get to wear something like this pretty lace number with a fun fringe. That's what Tide to Go pens are for, right?

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.

All About Beauty

This post is dedicated to the beauty products I use on a regular basis. I thought I would share these with you since beauty really goes hand-in-hand with fashion. Make-up and hair can completely change the look and feel of an outfit. There are many products that I use but for this post, I'm focusing on Skincare, Make-up and Hair. Get an in-depth view of my beauty essentials after the jump.
