Happy Friday all!

It has been so nice out lately! Maybe it is the warmer weather that has me feeling so inspired lately! It could be, and I am loving it! 

I opted for a spring-like look for today's post. I used pieces with intricate details -cutouts- to really pull the look together. The flowery dress layered under a skirt, just didn't seem complete without a belt to cinch the waist. Little did I expect the statement, cutout belt would compliment the cut out booties so well! And just like that, it became the theme of my look. 

I know it is a little hard to tell from the pictures, but the use of cutouts in both pieces and the use of silver kind of anchor the look. Everything else is just character! =)

I hope you all have an incredible weekend and enjoy the lovely weather! Thanks so much for reason! I love you all so much! =)

​XOXO

. Happy Friday all! 

And Happy -belated- Valentines! I hope you all had a really special day! 

Although I am late on this post, I still wanted to share a fun Valentines' look with you. I saw this skirt recently and was instantly drawn to it. The crisp, bold color., the intricate cut-out details, the velvet-like material... there is so much to appreciate about this piece! 

I immediately thought of this structured blouse to pair with it. I've had this top for a while now, I got it over the summer and I have worn it several times; with jeans, trousers -mostly safe pairings. This was my first bolder pairing. Sometimes these ideas are better in my mind than they are in actuality, but I was really happy with the turnout. Its such a crisp, clean, classic look. 

I kept the red theme going with my bag and lip color, accessories minimal, and nude heels so as to not to distract from the overall look. 

This is a special post for me for another reason as well. This is will be my first post for Cosmolinx. Cosmolinx is an organization that supports "local creatives" specifically in the fashion industry. This includes boutique owners, designers, models, and bloggers just to name a few. The leader, Marie, is so lovely. I just admire her so much for how gracefully she handles everything. She offered me the opportunity to blog for the group a few months ago, and now all of the pieces are falling into place. Its an exciting time! A huge thank you to Marie for the opportunity! 

And thank you all for reading and continuing this journey with me! I'm so grateful! =)

XOXO

Hello and Happy Monday! 

I hope you had a lovely weekend! For today's post I paired two of my favorite pieces together; this long, printed sweater and my over-the-knee boots. 

I wanted to show a little leg to show off the boots a little more. And while it has been a little colder the last few days, the combination of the boots and the sweater is surprisingly warm. The drape-y  design of the sweater causes it to move gracefully with my movements -and the wind- and has a dynamic look. 

I kept everything else simple, so as to not take away from the two bold pieces. I also tried to keep the maroon color theme going strong with Valentine's day coming up soon! =)

Hope you are having a great day and thanks for reading! 

XOXO
