As the days get longer and the temperatures slowly begin to rise, we can finally begin transitioning our wardrobes to remove some of the heavier layers. During these transitional seasons, I still like to have some form of outerwear and blazers have always been a timeless go-to. Below I’ve rounded up a few styles that would be perfect for Spring styling, in my opinion! Comment below which piece resonates with you most, and don’t forget to click the images to shop my picks! Until next time!

Despite Mother Nature being extremely uncooperative, it has not stopped me from attempting to style some Spring ensembles. Once again I collaborated with another fellow blogger, Jahira, and we chose to stick with the theme of pastels. It’s to be expected that every year around this time, retailers everywhere become flooded with colorful pieces that get everyone excited for the warm weather to come. After a bit of shopping, I decided on a mini-dress with a multicolored print and lace detailing on the sleeves. Though fairly dark overall, I knew this would be the perfect frock to layer under my over-sized parka. Surprisingly, I ended up purchasing this blush colored jacket back in December during a major sale, and just knew it would come in handy once the weather finally broke. To keep a sense of cohesiveness, Jahira and I  both let our pastel garments remain the focal point by pairing them with other black pieces. For footwear, I chose a simple sock bootie with an exaggerated zipper for a bit of extra edge. I also grabbed my favorite aviators because despite it being fairly cloudy on this particular day, I am definitely looking forward to embracing the sunshine soon. All in all, I loved how our looks complimented each other and look forward to the day when I can comfortably wear this outfit without shivering. Comment below your favorite pastel color to style and how you’d wear it. Until next time!

Easter is the first major holiday that kicks off the Spring season and I always find it to be an amazing time to spend with family as well as embrace some of the lighter, more pastel pieces in my wardrobe. Hues of purple such as lavender and lilac have been a huge trend this season, so much so that I was trying to avoid it at all costs! That being said, when shopping for this particular collaboration shoot, I couldn’t deny the instant attraction to these wide-legged trousers and definitely couldn’t leave the store without them. Aside from the gorgeous color, I also thought that the contrast of the black buttons were a simple yet strikingly chic detail. Recently, I’ve seen this shade worn most often when styled with co-ords or monochrome looks. In efforts to try mixing things up, I chose to pair the pants with a striped satin textured blouse which definitely added a more traditional, classic element to the overall ensemble. Oddly enough, though we briefly discussed color scheme, I didn’t know that my friend Jahira would be wearing a matching white set and purple top so we ended up coordinating in the best way possible! Though barely seen, I also opted for a pair of white heeled sandals which really got me excited for warm weather, despite this particular day being absolutely freezing. To complete my look, I struggled to find a bag that wasn’t so dark that it weighed the look down or bold in color that it took the focus off the the slacks. I finally settled on a tote with wicker detailing and black trim which I felt may not have been the most obvious choice, but definitely pulled the look together in an unexpected way. It also complimented my counterparts neutral taupe boots which made our styling even more compatible. All in all, I had a great time shooting these looks and hope this gave you some ideas for the upcoming holiday weekend! Comment below if you’d like to see more photo shoot collabs in the future. Until next time!

Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of soft color palettes and fabrics making their way into fall collections and I’m definitely a fan. While this doesn’t make me like the traditional rich tones of bronze, burgundy, navy, and olive any less, there’s something about incorporating lighter colors that provides an unexpected contrast in the cooler months. Please see below for some of the pieces that have recently caught my eye, and don’t forget to click the images for direct links to the items. Happy shopping!

While I am a girl who likes statement outerwear, the pieces I tend to gravitate towards are usually pretty neutral in color. This season however, I wanted to challenge myself by stepping outside of my comfort zone and adding some brighter layers to my wardrobe. I absolutely love this coat and even though it is quite a vibrant blush color, I find that it can still be worn with a lot of different items. Since I didn’t want to overdo it with the color palette, I kept the rest of my outfit dark; well black. It’s no secret that I love a good jumpsuit, and the one I styled for this look is definitely the piece that prompted my obsession! Everything from the material, to the cut, and style make this item striking while still remaining chic. To keep the look slightly more sophisticated, I decided to accessorize with  my closed toe black pumps and my new briefcase bag. This was a true “lady boss” type of look and to be honest, I was really into it. There’s nothing like an outfit that makes you feel strong, powerful, and FIERCE! Until next time friends, and please let me know what you think in the comments below!
