Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and as always, it leaves me wanting to add blush tones to my wardrobe. It's such a soft, flattering shade on everyone! And, it's definitely romantic. Here is a collage of sorts of some of my current cravings and picks. I'll take one of each!

When it comes to getting dressed each day, I tend to stick to the classics. Straight-leg denim, sweaters, blazers, and flats during the week. Feminine dresses or skirts with heels on the weekends. I'm a creature of habit, but really it's more than that. I know myself now. I know what I like, what my body looks best in, and what I feel confident wearing. There's a certain comfort factor in all this, and that's the true beauty of it. But, I realize that dressing in the same manner all the time can become boring, and fashion should NOT be boring. I  like to try new things every so often to keep things fun and light. As long as a trend meets my criteria, I'll try it!

Here are three trends I'm trying, and really enjoying too.


Cuffed denim, or rolling up my jeans. 

Wearing Loft jeans, but love these by J Brand as well
Still loving my French Connection bag too




Statement Earrings




Now that I've cut my hair shorter, I feel the need to play up my face with bold statement earrings. I usually opted for a delicate stud, but I think when your hair is longer, earrings can often get lost so it was a natural choice for me. In fact, most days I wouldn't wear earrings at all. That is starting to change, and I've been on the hunt for some bold drop earrings with tons of sparkle and maybe a little color as well. 


Short Hair


Whether wavy, curly, or straight...still loving shorter hair. No regrets here.

Wearing: H&M blazer, Express blouse, Loft jeans, Zara pumps, MK bag (love it in navy too), TJ Maxx bracelet, RichRocksNYC earrings

This Missoni for Target chevron scarf is my absolute favorite Target purchase of all time. Ever. That's a big statement considering I've found so many amazing pieces there over the years. I walk in for one thing and undoubtedly leave with three or four other items that I wasn't planning on buying. I'm sure you guys can relate to this. Although the weather here has been warm and sunny, I'm still dressing like it's Fall. Why not? I can pretend, right?!

Express strapless dress 
Loft sweater (check stores)
Gifted necklace




I was feeling a bit bi-polar clothing wise on Sunday. What to wear, what to wear...It was cloudy and a bit windy, but for some reason I had dresses on the brain so I decided to wear a strapless one. With a sweater! I've seen lots of beautiful inspiration photos on pinterest. I never would have thought to layer this way. Blazers and open cardigans are typically a go-to over a dress, but I've never considered a regular pullover. Although I'm not sure this totally worked on me (I'm thinking a cropped sweater would have been more flattering on my shape), I did like the overall casual vibe. Especially paired with flats, it's a great alternative to just plain old jeans when you're winding down from the weekend.
