Smitten Kitten

I adore Mango. Fashionable pieces at affordable pricing- sign me up!

Above are my current favorites.  I "HAD" to get this faux shearling lined coat. I debated for a brief moment in which I asked my brother if I should buy it. He said he didn't have any idea what I was talking about so I gave a quick Top Gun reference which was met with a retort sarcastically highlighting my lifelong appreciation of aviation. I brushed this aside along with his next comment about how the value of clothing clearly appreciates over time... he's funny. Long story short, it's mine!
and. it's. awesome.

A Sign of Summer: Turquoise

Nothing says summer to me like turquoise jewelry and the bigger the better.  It's the perfect accessory for a simple jeans and tee look. I'd also stack lots-o-rings and bracelets with a summer dress like this one.

Spring Picks

Spring is finally here and I couldn't be happier. I've put together a few essentials above. I just purchased the sleeveless embroidery pleated chiffon dress (shown top center). It's fully lined and on sale for $33.52- such a steal! I also want to purchase a few turkish towels for the beach.

M'Oticans are here: Edie Parker X Del Torro Collaboration

I'll admit that I am a reapeat offender with emoji's. It's B-A-D.

Naturally, I get such a kick (I'm punny) out of this collaboration by Del Torro and Edie Parker. If you know me in real life It's easy to spot my favorite... #QUEENBEE all the way (an insider reference to my affinity for my previous job).

What's your favorite? Would you sport these? I love my Stubbs & Wooten and wouldn't mind adding a pair of these to my closet.

Factory Finds

I'm patiently waiting for spring to hit New England. J.Crew Factory has some great little looks for warm weather and I've just added a few things to my closet (like this worn out here with O.Style). Factory is not a J.Crew outlet but rather an entirely separate manufacturing process set at a much lower price point. Below, I've put together a few striped tops and shorts that I would pair together as well as a fun tote and set of pajamas for summer.

Hope you're all having a great week!

Fashion + Sneakers

1/2/3/4

I'm completely on board with this trend and have always had an affinity for cool sneakers- it all started in high school with the most incredible pair of old school sauconys. What do you think of the trend? If you're not sure you may want to try it out with a pair of these. Only $22.94 and they come in ELEVEN  fun colors. I may or may not have purchased two pairs already ;)

Weekend Getaway

Quick trips to visit friends are on the horizon and I have my fingers crossed that spring is on its way. I can't help but envision what I would want to pack for nights out, daytime excursions, and fun in the sun.

(Clearly, I have a wild imagination but let's go with it)

Day to Night

I'm a big fan of a simple ensemble that can be worn during the day or at night. Sometimes, when I'm doing a casual happy hour, or I'm just not in the mood to get gussied up I throw on a comfy jean look and swap out shoes with heels. I'd wear the above look with sneaks and a cross body during the day, then ditch the hat and throw on pumps for evening.

Et voilà !

/ hat / striped tee /

/ stevie jean / sneaks (also in neon) /

/ pumps (need them and the denim pair too) / sushi clutch (obsessed) /

Dear warm weather. Where are you?
I'm so excited that I now live right near the beach, but I seriously  need to step up my swimsuit game.

Bring It On

I can't get enough of the above selections from Loeffler Randall. The citrus print is my absolute favorite and I would be hard pressed to choose between the bag, flats, or pumps.

Loren Hope Spring/Summer Look Book

Have you seen the Spring/Summer look book for Loren Hope? The styling was an absolute home run. Loren's girly playful baubles take center stage and are complemented beautifully by the scenery at The Parker Hotel in Palm Springs. I love the look that featured this suit and you can even listen to a "palm springs fling" playlist while you browse! Check it out for yourself here and you can also shop the look below:

Naomi Davis for Sonnet James

Have you seen the spring lookbook for Sonnet James featuring Naomi Davis from Rockstar Diaries? What a flawless choice for brand representation. Naomi embodies the spirit of the company with her  playful hands-on approach to motherhood. The lookbook captures her in her own element, at home and in the streets of NYC with her little ones Samson and Eleanor. 

As a mother of two boys, Whitney created a line of clothing that allowed her to take part in her children's active adventurous lifestyle. I loved watching the video of Whitney's dress collection coming to life. Check it out here. Although I'm not a mom the spirit of these dresses completely resonates with me as a teacher. My two favorite silhouettes for spring are the Marni and the Reese. I think I need both!

What are your thoughts? I wanted to share the line because I think any girl with an active lifestyle can benefit from the wearability. It's not just moms who can appreciate care instructions that read:

"Get Really Dirty. Rinse & Repeat."

Think Spring

image

Although there is snow on the ground, I am getting excited by the prospect of spring! I'm ready to ditch the boots and opt for shoes with color and print. And how lovely would it be to run out of the house with simply a tee and scarf (no jacket!). I would happily switch out my winter handbag for the above "pollen buff" shade of the pashli satchel. The perfect spring accessory.

Shop the look:

leaf print flats / pashli satchel / printed scarf /  flower print pumps / striped sandals / printed pink pumps

NYFW street style is one of my favorite things! Fall shows are hard because they occur during winter months. For me, the style can be a bit underwhelming compared to warmer weather looks. That said, the following ensembles reigned supreme despite the winter temps.

Here are my top picks:

Clearly drawn to a lot of black and white. In my book, winter white is simply the best!

If only it were going to be warm this weekend! I'm getting a little tired of boots and would love to be throwing on something light and breezy like the above ensemble.

Time for Winter Sales!

Oh winter sales, how I love thee. 

The top two jackets are on major sale at Kule and if I wasn't allergic to fur the jacket on the right would be in my closet. And how amazing is the leather cuffed forearm on the left? I styled each jacket (vertically) with a sweater and kicks which I would pair with distressed jeans. 

All items are on sale! 

J.Crew is killing it once again with an extra 40% off final sale items. Everything you see above (except coats) is an additional 40% off the sale price. Just be sure to enter the code BYEWINTER at checkout
