walk on the wild side with reebok

I'm SO excited to share my latest collaboration with Reebok Skycapes -- aka my new sneaker obsession. They are out. of. this. world. comfortable. AND cute. Don't you just love when fashion and function just work? If you follow me on insta, you've seen a few sneak peeks. But click HERE to see the full feature and read alllll that I have to say about these leo sneaks. I had a blast styling skyscape's new line, not only because I'm head-over-heels in love with their new patterns for summer, but because I got to share the spotlight with my blog BFF Allie. Fashion is ALWAYS more fun with a friend. ANTHROPOLOGIE dress | ASOS jacket | REEBOK SKYSCAPE shoes c/o | DKNY bag

layers in lace

A basic chambray dress is such a wardrobe staple for me -- I consider it just as essential as the LBD. It's an instant outfit no-brainer that can be layered with different patterns and textures, or worn alone just as easily. But chambray in neon pink is even more fun, especially when paired with my favorite, no-fuss (lace) LBD.

post holiday

Every year I am amazed at how quickly the holidays zoom by. It feels like Christmas was here for a second, before NYE became the next big thing to plan for. Like really, 2013 is only days away -- where's the pause button?! How was everyone's holiday?

3 easy halloween costumes you already have in your closet

When it comes to Halloween, I procrastinate till the very last minute. Every. Single. Year. I'm that girl who runs out to the store (after everything has been picked through) an hour before a party, frantically searching for something (anything) to throw together. This year I was excited to find that putting together three different costumes with clothes I already owned was a cinch. Here's how I did it:

1.

What you have: 

Anything polka dot -- dress/skirt/even pants (tip: layer different sizes to achieve a cartoony look)

+ a collared shirt 

+ shiny shoes/polka dot shoes/red shoes/gold shoes

What you need:

Mouse ears (mine are from the Disney store)

Cartoon eyelashes (F21 has a set of 3 for $4.80)

= Minnie Mouse

2.

What you have:

White button down

+ white pants

+ black boots

What you need:

A black hat (unless you already own one)

+ eyelashes (put one set over one eye -- top and bottom lash)

= A Clockwork Orange

3.

What you have:

Motorcycle jacket

+ any tee with skulls/american flags/eagles

+ leather pants

+ aviators

What you need:

A helmet (optional, not pictured)

+ temporary tattoos (or real -- optional, not pictured)

= Biker Chick (think Sons of Anarchy, but more girly)

1 {F21 blouse, dress + eyelashes; Marc by Marc Jacobs shoes (old); Minnie ears via the Disney store}

2 {Calvin Klein top via Marshalls; Gap pants; Coach boots (old); random hat; F21 eyelashes}

3 {Asos jacket (seen here + here); H&M top (old); Member's Only leggings (old); Coach boots (old); Ray Bans}

llama love

Just hanging out on this stoop with my new BFF iPhone case (I gave you a little sneak peek on instagram earlier). Llamas are my absolute favorite animals. Of all time. And I am convinced that Madewell made this for me. Thanks guys! I found the perfect camo shirt/jacket from the men's section, for way less than Zara/Topshop and everywhere else I've seen them (only $25) -- a respectable price to spend on a fleeting fall trend.  

Tomorrow is my Madewell event in Boston! Stop by if you're in the area!

flannel and leather + giveaway winner

This outfit screams fall to me, and I like it. Flannels are one of my favorite things to wear when the temperature drops -- there's something so cozy about that checkered pattern that makes you want to grab a cup of tea and watch the leaves fall. But I was never a fan of women's flannels, they're always too short and too fitted. My favorite tops always, always come from the guy's section, or borrowed from the brother or the BF.

flamingo x2

Flamingos are everywhere this season, and since quirky prints are my thing, I scooped up a couple options. Both of these dresses are pretty similar, but one is more expensive than the other -- can you tell which is which? I must admit, I like the less pricy one just a little bit more.

ONE {Asos dress (on sale!); Zara sandals; JCrew belt}

TWO {Ted Baker dress; Zara sandals}
