It's only the 2nd and April showers are in full effect. The past 48 hours have been a constant downpour, making it nearly impossible to get out of bed in the morning (snoozed my alarm thrice this am!). In this midst of this dreary blanket I spotted some blooming tulips alongside of the road. Their vibrant yellow color was a little pop of sunshine in my otherwise uneventful day! Rainy days are downright DEPRESSING, so why not brighten them up with a little bit of color?

Current Obsession: Studs

Ok, so they've been EVERYWHERE for awhile now but my fascination with studs was recently rebooted while trying on Valentino's 'Rockstud' Ballet flat. The classic beauty of the shoe, mixed with its craftsmanship, and touch of spunk has made it this seasons hottest shoe. My Nordstrom's sold out of them in just 3 days! My love for studs rests in their ability to take, for example, a classic cocktail dress and make it a whole lot edgier, but still appropriate. I've been living in my Ralph Lauren studded earrings and I don't think they're going anywhere anytime soon...

Army Brat

The military trend has steadily survived from season to season, the fashion industry has an infatuation with all things military and heritage, but this fall it has exploded big time. From flashes of army green and khaki to not-so-subtle camo print, the trend can look edgy, feminine or sophisticated. Add some studs or black leather and you're a total bad ass. Wear it with a flirty dress for an unexpected cool-yet-girlie vibe. I've been looking for the perfect pair of camo jeans and I think I just may have to splurge on a pair of Current/Elliot ones - they just make the best print jeans, don't they?! Oh and I would just love to find a vintage utility jacket at my local Salvation Army, but I haven't come across any yet... I'll keep you posted. Needless to say I hope this trend doesn't go anywhere anytime soon.

Street scenes: CAMO

You know how much I'm loving this look. I'll say it again - leopard is the ultimate neutral.

Shift Into Spring

I've been so neglectful to my poor, poor little blog! Hopefully a dose of color will brighten y'alls day! I've been cramming to meet deadlines, as it is the end of term (ugh!)... but more often than not find myself daydreaming about running free come summertime. London is constantly teasing me with the weather, and my collection of shift dresses is waiting on standby. There's nothing I don't love about the simple silhouette of the shift. It's classic yet playful. Add some bare legs and voluminous hair - and viola! It will bring you right back to the madness of the Swinging 60s!
