Happy Monday! Today I thought I’d share a few snaps recently shared on instagram. Tomorrow I leave for a couple weeks in Europe for a little work and a little play (well, in reverse order, actually) so be sure to follow along!

I can’t think of a fresher, more beautiful spring hue than this [glink href=”http://bit.ly/1IYmhU4″ target=”_blank” ecategory=”rstyle affiliate” eaction=”White House Black Market” elabel=”White House Black Market / Divinity Search Results” noninteraction=”true”]mint green[/glink]. Literally. I dare you to come up with a color that makes you want to dive head first into a pre-Easter peep binge more than the minty magic happening here. White House Black Market is chock full of pieces in this stunning [glink href=”http://bit.ly/1IYmhU4″ target=”_blank” ecategory=”rstyle affiliate” eaction=”White House Black Market” elabel=”White House Black Market / Divinity Search Results” noninteraction=”true”]pastel[/glink], so check them out while you’re looking to refresh your spring wardrobe. Today, I paired the mint green [glink href=”http://bit.ly/1CZq6ra” target=”_blank” ecategory=”rstyle affiliate” eaction=”White House Black Market” elabel=”White House Black Market / The Trench Jacket” noninteraction=”true”]jacket[/glink], [glink href=”http://bit.ly/1BX9n3Z” target=”_blank” ecategory=”rstyle affiliate” eaction=”White House Black Market” elabel=”White House Black Market / Divinity Pashmina Fringe Scarf” noninteraction=”true”]scarf[/glink] and [glink href=”http://bit.ly/1DDGo9X” target=”_blank” ecategory=”rstyle affiliate” eaction=”White House Black Market” elabel=”White House Black Market / 3/4 Sleeve Silvertone Snap Cardigan” noninteraction=”true”]top[/glink] with one of their classic white pencil [glink href=”http://bit.ly/1IYqIhy” target=”_blank” ecategory=”rstyle affiliate” eaction=”White House Black Market” elabel=”White House Black Market / Perfect Form White Pencil Skirt” noninteraction=”true”]skirts[/glink], but I also love the color paired with pinks and blues (though probably not together. calm down). As you can see a bit with my fuchsia/red [glink href=”http://bit.ly/19yDTJn” target=”_blank” ecategory=”rstyle affiliate” eaction=”Nordstrom” elabel=”Essie / Nail Polish Corals” noninteraction=”true”]nails[/glink] and [glink href=”http://bit.ly/19BYkFC” target=”_blank” ecategory=”rstyle affiliate” eaction=”Nordstrom” elabel=”Bobbi Brown / Monday to Sunday Creamy Matte Lip Color” noninteraction=”true”]lip[/glink] color, the green paired with a contrasting color can be dynamite. The flared leather [glink href=”http://bit.ly/1CZu7w1″ target=”_blank” ecategory=”rstyle affiliate” eaction=”White House Black Market” elabel=”White House Black Market / Leather Flirty Skirt” noninteraction=”true”]skirt[/glink] in look two is another one of my favorites for spring. The color is incredibly versatile, and since leather has dominated spring runways in the past few years, it’s high time you make it happen this season. However, this [glink href=”http://bit.ly/1CZu7w1″ target=”_blank” ecategory=”rstyle affiliate” eaction=”White House Black Market” elabel=”White House Black Market / Leather Flirty Skirt” noninteraction=”true”]skirt[/glink] is one of those amazing, truly year-round pieces. I can see it paired with black tights, boots and a sweater come October, just as easily as I can with sandals and a simple tank on a summer day. As you know, I’m always on the hunt for great workwear pieces that don’t bore me out of my gourd, so I’m thrilled to have found so many new favorites at WHBM. In case you missed it earlier in the week, check out the WHBM pants party that happened on Monday here!

That 70s Flow
Photography by Melanie Riccardi
SHIRT: Burberry (also love it in coral and this similar one) | JEANS: AG (also love the similar versions here, here, here & here) | BLAZER: J. Crew (similar here, here & here) | SHOES: Michael Kors (very similar here, here, here & here) | BELT: old but similar here | NECKLACE: c/o Gorjana | WATCH: c/o Daniel Wellington | SUNGLASSES: Ray-Ban[thefeedproducts style=’four’] Since tomorrow is a day off for many of us celebrating Easter, I thought I’d do a little Casual Thursday post today, featuring these amazing flare leg jeans, Burberry striped tee and blazer. Setting aside the fabulous 70s revival that’s happening everywhere and in particular, below my belt today, I want to talk about this glorious t-shirt. Hear me out on this one. I used to think that spending more than $25 on a “t-shirt” like the one depicted here was ridonkulous. But last weekend, when opening my dresser drawer to a proverbial sea of ragged-looking t-shirts, I finally saw them for the cheap chumps that they are (though actually, in this case, I am indeed the chump). There are few clothing items that I spend more time in than tees like the one pictured above, so I’m not sure why the natural inclination is to skimp. Would I rather have a few better pieces or a volcano of pilled t-shirts whose necklines look like sad, mangled versions of their former selves after one or two washings? I came up with two options: (a) I could stop washing my clothing for fear of cheap t-shirts immediately losing shape; or (b) I could stop buying 18,000 cheap t-shirts, suck it up and shell out a couple extra bucks in order to have a few decent-looking basics for many years to come. It should go without saying that I immediately chose option A. However, for fear of ostracization from my friends and family not to mention the potential rodent problem that such practices could elicit, I realized that a laundry strike was the less optimal solution. And thus, I give you this stripey delicious Burberry t-shirt. It’s so good.

Shifting temps bring a whole slew of new options to the pants department of our work wardrobes. Instead of an icy commute to the office, many of you can now look forward to the sweat factory that will become your subway ride from mid-April to mid-September. Today, I’m featuring three different warm-weather pant options that you can don during the warmer months: sleek black [glink href=”http://bit.ly/1OOJxrV” target=”_blank” ecategory=”rstyle affiliate” eaction=”White House Black Market” elabel=”The Soft Drape Black Culotte” noninteraction=”true”]culottes[/glink], floral lightweight track-style [glink href=”http://bit.ly/19yEtqy” target=”_blank” ecategory=”rstyle affiliate” eaction=”White House Black Market” elabel=”Floral Harem Pants” noninteraction=”true”]pants[/glink], and slim-leg jeans perfect for that glorious “Summer Friday” dress code that many enjoy. I found all three at [glink href=”http://bit.ly/1OONBs9″ target=”_blank” ecategory=”rstyle affiliate” eaction=”White House Black Market” elabel=”White House Black Market / Homepage” noninteraction=”true”]White House Black Market[/glink], which I recently discovered is a treasure trove of amazing workwear options. So whether you sport the dressy culottes in your conservative office, the floral track pants in your creative job, the jeans in your casual workplace, or a combination of all three, [glink href=”http://bit.ly/1OONBs9″ target=”_blank” ecategory=”rstyle affiliate” eaction=”White House Black Market” elabel=”White House Black Market / Homepage” noninteraction=”true”]WHBM[/glink] has your posterior covered.

Booties and Bags
Photography by Melanie RiccardiBOOTIES: c/o Sole Society | BAG: c/o Sole Society (just sold out, but love this very similar one) | SKIRT: Topshop (last styled here) | SHIRT: Polo Ralph Lauren (very similar here, here, here & love this one) | BRACELET: c/o Brandy Pham | SUNGLASSES: Ray-Ban | RING: Baublebar
[thefeedproducts style=’four’] You know I hate the word “bootie.” And just so we’re clear, I still really hate it. And yet, I really don’t hate these amazing grey suede numbers. Alas, in order to properly articulate the majesty of aforementioned footwear, I am forced to rip the proverbial bandaid and say it, nay, put it in the bloody title of the post in an attempt to get over the goose-bump-inducing-and-not-in-a-good-way term. Come spring, I often have a mental block about boots and their derivatives, quickly ushering them into the see ya next winter, suckers pile. I’m starting to realize the error of my ways, and have newly discovered these booties as not only amazing transitional footwear, but even amazing warm weather options. The white-washed stacked heel and sole of these particular booties make them especially spring and summer worthy, as they look great paired with white shorts, skirts and dresses—if you’re of the matchy-matchy variety. I’m currently eyeing up these similar navy versions that have a little bit more of a heel. The bag depicted above sadly just sold out at Sole Society, but I found this super similar one that comes in both navy and grey. If its anything like its olive sister, it’s an amazing carry-all tote. Super lightweight, yet sturdy enough to maintain a nice shape. All three colors are perfect warm weather neutrals. Check out more of my favorites below…
