As much as I love pretty flowy dresses, I favored an awesome pair of casual pants that’s versatile and can take me from day to night. These Bar III slim jockey pants are beyond comfortable, stretches and are so soft to the touch. They’re typically worn with flats or sneakers (perfect for running errands or lounging around) but I decided to dress and edge them up with metallic pumps and a (faux) leather jacket with interesting back details. The mixing is really more of an outcome to my on-to-go-and-didn’t-have-a-change-of-clothes problems than me trying to be creative. :)

Mixer (+ OASAP Giveaway)

Florals, stripes, geometrics, chevron, polka dots, abstracts, paisley, embroidery, sequins and embellishments has dominated my closet for what feels like forever so you can imagine the thrill when I realized how awesome mixing prints and patterns together no longer clashes. Well, this “trend” is nothing new, but there’s always something new and refreshing every time (see them again here, here, here, here, and here).

Adding to the mix are my current favorite accessories, this alpine gold necklace from Olive + Piper and this inexpensive-but-pretty-awesome-aviators. I have been looking for blue/purple aviators and can’t believe I found them from H&M for $7. Score!

I was pretty thrilled over the weekend because we have another new lens to play with and I’m madly in love (helloooo ultra wide angles). Nate is dipping his feet more into photography and I am so proud of him, and of course offered myself to be his guinea pig for photos anytime he needs them (haha). Well, I hope your weekend was an eventful one and you’re all rested up for another week of life. xoxo

Gone are the days of bold prints and bright colors (well, perhaps just for today) because sometimes the biggest statement is the most subtle of them all. As much I love a colorful spring, I can’t resist a monotone look that’s romantic and cozy like this chiffon lace skirt,  sheer top and over-sized knit combination. It’s one of those outfits where I can feel completely comfortable yet feminine at the same time.

I hope your week is going well so far! I have been working 12-14 hours daily and couldn’t believe my Caribbean cruise is just around the corner. I’m exhausted but beyond excited for some much needed R&R and believe it or not, I actually really look forward to the packing part. I just need help with learning how to pack everything in a tiny suitcase!
