playing with heat

An unbearable heat wave took over the city this weekend. Even though I tried my best to keep hydrated and stay in as much as possible I had to sneak outside for some photos. During the un-breathable heat black was probably not the smartest pieces to wear, but low front made me feel the closest to naked that I could be. The only thing that I like about the heat is that my hair can get as curly as it can while still looking put together. I love when you have an excuse to be all natural - thank you heat!
Tonight, I'm en route to Boston to be with my family for a few days. I am so happy to have some time off to just relax and spend quality time with them!

Theres Always Space For White

I was horrified to learn that flared jeans were coming back in trend. But, instead of fearing it I decided to embrace it. My trick no matter what your height - wedges. They make everything proportionate and elongated so I went with my minimally flared white jeans. I never believed that there was a certain time to wear white. There is always space for white in my outfit whether its on my tank top in the winter or jeans in the spring. Make room for white it will let the other colors you are wearing shine.

Days Off

I used to think that my days off would have to consist of errands and getting the most done in the small amount of time I have available. It would cause me nothing but stress and I never felt like I had a day to myself. Lately I have been pushing myself to enjoy my days off by doing nothing at all. I stay in bed longer, read magazines from front to back, and enjoy my cup of coffee sitting. To be the most comfortable that I can I opt for flats (my cole haans with nike air are amazing) and jeggings (jean-leggings). Both keep me super comfortable while staying chic. My J.Crew top was a gift for Christmas and I love the exaggerated jewels on the neck line. It is the easiest piece to throw on for a casual day - no jewelry is required. 

Dripping In Black

The snow is what I blame for my completely black head to toe outfits. To add a touch of color I wore my favorite green shoes. When I got these shoes I didn't expect to wear them as much as I do. But, I'm glad for the use I am getting out of them. I advise you that the colors have nothing to do with my feelings or even soul, I promise!
