Leopard & Coral

I mean.... this may or may not be the third post since I've started this blog 2 weeks ago where I reference how obsessed I am with coral. But I'll just go ahead and tell you again - I'm OBSESSED! It's such a fun color for spring, and makes you look super tan (and super blonde for all you blondies)! I love love love the idea of pairing coral with leopard to add a little somethin' somethin' to your day! I think there IS such thing as too much leopard... but when paired correctly with a stand-out color like coral, you'll make the perfect statement!

Pink, Orange & Red (In Any Combination)

One of my best best friends, Cameron, has a super cute blog that recently caused me to fall head over heels for this Loeffler Randall bag (only 1 left on Shopbop!). So, I thought I'd use it as a center piece amongst some of the fabulous pink, orange and red color block pieces I've been drooling over lately! Pair ANY of these 3 colors together and you're bound to look bright & fabulous while making a statement.  As you know, I'm really into bright colors, so these items are ALL on my wish list.

Banana Republic Finds

I'm typically not a huge Banana Republic fan just because a lot of their women's clothing can look a little too generic "workish" for my taste. But, I ended up there with Lane this past weekend as he really likes their slim fit polos. Instead of helping him pick out some new spring wardrobe staples that we went there for - I ended up getting completely distracted by SO MANY adorable accessories and fun spring dresses for myself & ultimately spent even more than he did (typical!). Here are some of my favorite BR finds!

Orange-cha Glad It's Friday?

I sure am! This week has been especially long & busy. I think I've gotten 10 hours of sleep this entire week & have averaged about 3 cups of coffee per day. HEALTHY! But... it's Friday! And I couldn't be happier. It's also freaking GORGEOUS out today (77!) so that makes me extra happy. Anyways, today I went casual to work with a bright orange top and skinny jeans. Here are the outfit deets:

Black & Mint

I hadn't worn my mint jeans in awhile and that was kind of a problem. Because I love them. A lot. Probably too much. But keep in mind I have this thing where I cannot and I mean absolutely CANNOT wear the same outfit twice for at least a couple months - and so I have to be especially careful with fun statement items like mint pants, for example. And if I'm photographed in something? FORGET IT! Has to look like a completely different piece of clothing if I'm ever to wear it again in the near-term. Thankfully, it had been a little while since I had busted out the minty pants - so GAME ON! I wanted the jeans and my accessories to be the only color, so I wore them with a simple black top, black blazer, a fab turquoise cuff & black TB flats. 

Top - Splendid Button Down Tank in Black, $88

Jeans - Koral Skinny Pastel Jeans in Mint, $190

Flats - Tory Burch Classic Reva Ballet in Black/Silver, $225

Nails - Essie in Turquoise & Caicos, $8

Ring - Tiffany Somerset Ring, $275 

Necklace - David Yurman 

Dressing For A Movie Date Night

So Lane & I went to see The Place Beyond The Pines this weekend and let me just tell you something - GO SEE IT IMMEDIATELY!!!! Like, right now. Stop what you are doing and go. Ok fine, you can go this weekend I guess. But seriously... Lane really wanted to see it and I watched the preview and wasn't that into it slash only agreed to go for RYGOS (never thought I'd be so attracted to a guy with a tear drop tat on his face until now). BUT.... it ended up being SO SO SO good. I won't give anything away but I will say that the previews do NOT do it justice only because it is a very uniquely-made film and it would give away too much if they added anymore into the previews. Eva, Ryan & Brad (We're on a first name basis) all gave absolutely stellar performances and I think we sat in our seats 10 minutes after it ended hoping it would start over again. It didn't. Damn.

Anyways, I always try to look extra cute & sassy when Lane takes me on dates (as opposed to the usual he sees me in.. aka work clothes or sweatpants) but it's always a little shifty when we go to the movies because finding some variation of cute (for Lane), comfy (duh) and warmish (for the freezing cold movie theater) to wear can be quite the challenge considering I have so. much. freaking. impractical. clothing. And just clothing in general. Plus - let's be honest... I NEVER want to be THAT girl that comes clonking into the theater in a pair of 6inchers looking absolutely ridiculous. So, I figured a pair of colored jeans, an oversized sweater, ankle boots & some fun accessories would do the trick! Here's what I wore:

Ankle boots - Sam Edelman Lisle in Saddle, $64
Sweater - Nasty Gal Static Knit in Taupe, $48
Jeans - Paige Verdugo Ultra Skinny in Vintage Red, $179
Bag - Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Percy Crossbody Bag in Cinnamon Stick, $198
Necklace - Stella & Dot Campari Necklace, $128
Earrings - Marc By Marc Jacobs Turnlock Stud Earrings in Gold, $42
Cuff - Forever 21 Layered Cuff in Gold, $7
Nail Polish - Essie in Bobbing For Baubles, $8
