Shades of Taupe.

bag | Free People

Hello hello! What is taupe exactly? (pronounced “tope”) Is it gray or is it beige? I’m sure many of you could care less, but as an interior decorator, it’s pretty crucial to know the difference. If I could define it, I’d say it would be the love child of gray and beige, think elephant colored. 

I’ve been on the hunt for a good work bag and finally stumbled across this taupe Free People cross body. It fits my daily work paraphernalia perfectly without being overly bulky. Yep, I’m that girl at work who carries her life in her bag, ain’t nothing wrong with being prepared! And on top of it being both chic and functional, it was less than $100! The quality and the price tag just made it that much better. 

So I guess we’re just skipping Spring this year and starting Summer early, about 3 months early. The recent rise in temp has put in me in a casual state of mind, and I’ve been reaching for my boyfriend jeans. So in an attempt to make my outfit more work appropriate, I added this jacket with leather taupe paneling. For added taupe continuity, I threw on my metallic heels. Have a great weekend! :)

Hello hello! I've got a quick and casual post for you all today! As you can probably tell, I don't wear too much pink (even on Wednesdays). I love the color itself, but it's not something I typically reach for and when I do, it's usually a pale blush. But I decided to mix things up a little and went with my super fuzzy pink pullover and some pink pumps. I threw in the boyfies and my pyrite necklace to toughen up the look a little and added my favorite plaid scarf for extra warmth! This look reminded me how pretty pastels are in the winter time, so I'll definitely be picking up more pieces in the near future! :)

Borrowed from the Boys

If boys are good for one thing, it would have to be their clothes. From soft tees to baggy fit jeans to larger than life watches, menswear will forever be a staple in my wardrobe. It lets me get away with being ultra-comfy, all while staying chic. With autumn on the way, it's time to bust out the cozy flannels, and there ain't anything cozier than a lived-in boyfriend flannel. I paired mine with my fave pair of ripped boyfriend jeans but spruced up the look with a felt hat and some heeled booties. I've been seeing menswear inspired prints everywhere and can't wait to try them out for myself! What's your favorite boyfriend look?

With love,

Boyfriend Blues

Hope you all had a relaxing, sale-filled MDW! I know I did, definitely took advantage of those sales. I picked up these Gap Sexy Boyfriend Jeans on sale for 40% off. I think they're still 30% off online! So go get you some! I paired it with this cute blouse from Nordstrom and these Calvin Klein Caliana Heels for a more casual vibe. I've been looking for a good pair of boyfriend jeans for so long, and am so excited to have finally found some. They're so versatile and can be easily dressed up or down, you'll be sure to see more of them!

Love,
