The Classics.

When I was getting ready for an event last week I came to the realization that I really didn’t own a pair of plain black shoes. I’ve been caught up in the trends lately and somewhere in between neons and bows and animal prints I forgot about the classics. My wardrobe has been missing the building blocks, so I made it my mission this weekend while I was shopping with a girlfriend to locate those closet staples. I’m happy to report I found both black ballet flats and heels — it makes we want to go back to basics with the rest of my wardrobe and invest in the classics. What are you closet staples? 

The Fall Uniform.

Boston weather is making me a bit crazy this week — it’s freezing cold in the morning and then toasty warm by mid-day. I like to commit to a season, and I am ready for Fall. I’m already plotting my official switch from sandals and sundresses to my Fall Uniform … which pretty much consists of tights and boots with cozy dresses, and bright jeans with soft striped tees. What’s your Fall uniform?

Three pinks.

Sometimes I don’t realize I’m having a ‘moment’ until I look back and my pinterest boards and notice a trend in my pins — from the looks of it, right now I’m in a hot pink phase. I’m eyeing this super inexpensive striped sweatshirt (it’s only $17!) and those dip-dyed earrings are a DIY with my name on them!

5 under $50: Gingham

Is there any more quintessential pattern for Spring than gingham? This week’s 5 under $50 features ginghams of all types; I particularly think the gingham sunglasses would make a fine accessory addition to a white sundress for a warm day of brunching al fresco! Which gingham piece is your favorite?

Polka dotty.

A pop of  pattern can make all the difference in bringing your outfit (and maybe even your day) some cheerfulness. I’m eyeing quite a few polka dot pieces right now, especially those adorable Madewell flats and the bright Kate Spade clutch! What’s your pattern of choice?
