Neutral Territory

{ Jacket & Blouse: Zara (old) // Wax Coated Denim: H&M // Studded Loafers: Zara (old, similar here) // Bag: Burberry // Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs (similar) // Ring: JewelMint }

Whenever I feel like I have nothing to wear (which seems to happen weekly. Why does it feel like I have a closet full of nothing?), I always return to the basics. This means either jeans and tee or in this case, neutral pieces in tones of olive, black and beige, with hints of red to brighten the look. What are your go-to pieces when you're in a style pinch?

Chocolate Candy Bark

I found this recipe on Pinterest when I was pinning ideas for Valentine's Day treats (see post here) and decided to make these for my husband. Of course, this fun chocolate candy bark can be made for any occasion (Oscars viewing party treats anyone?) so I thought I'd share my results here. These take almost no time at all and are a fast, easy confection to whip up.

Double Denim

{ Coat: Ecote via Urban Oufitters // Chambray: H&M // Jeans: Old Navy // Booties: Zara // Scarf: American Apparel // Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs // Sunglasses: Dior // iPhone Case: HRH Collection (c/o) // Jewelry: bracelet from Mexico; BCBG ring }

I honestly never thought I'd wear denim on denim (or the Canadian tuxedo, as it's also known), because the look never appealed to me. But fashion can be surprising and over time it can change your outlook on certain styles. I inadvertently threw together my heart-print chambray (last seen here) with my dark denim skinny jeans and voila, a double denim outfit that was cute and effortless for a day of running errands. 

Are there any styles you never thought you'd wear and are now loving?

Monday Muses: Padma Lakshmi & Krishna Lakshmi

This 70s inspired look that Padma is wearing is a refreshing change from all of the skinny jeans outfits that are ever so popular. Don't get me wrong, I love my skinnies and they'll always be a wardrobe staple, but a pair of flared jeans offers up a different silhouette that I think would be fun to re-visit. Add a little faux fur for both momma and child, and you've got a winning combination.

For Mama:
1) Dorothy Perkins mixed faux fur jacket $35.00 USD
2) Cire Napoli brown leather gloves $69.95 USD
3) Etoile Isabel Marant "Abelo" flared jeans $96.54 USD on sale
4) Jessica Simpson "Callian" boot $138.95 USD
