OFF WHITE AND BLACK

Hay gurl haaaaaaaay.  Momma's got a new baby.  Although I don't know if she'll see much of the outside world anytime soon.  I am so terrified of white purses.  They always look so amazing but one false move and it's curl up into a ball and cry time.  I probably should have thought more about holding my coffee so close to my outfit.  No don't worry, nothing spilled.  But why risk it right?!  So I guess black and white is a spring trend this year?  Okay sure.  I'm on it!  Here's me kind of doing a black and white outfit.  Okay I lie, the shirt is off white.  Maybe even cream.  Oh well, I tried.  Have you guys enjoyed the black and white trend this spring?  Also, how do you take care of white bags?  I've been carrying my dust bag around in case of rain or dirt or just general stain fears.  Haha.  Does anyone else do that?

LE BRUNCH STEEZ

Wussup wussuuuuuuuuup!?  Okay I don't have much to say since this is just basically my outfit post for my previous brunch post at Frog N Snail.  The sun was clearly out and beaming that day which automatically draws me to my bright colored closet items.  =)  I hope you enjoy the photos!  And please read up on my brunch post.  Frog N Snail is definitely a worth it food experience.  I'm super smiley and stumbly in these due to a mimosa overdose.  Teeheehee.  I think I want to do a series called Brunch-ventures.  Where I go to brunch spots, drink, eat, and blog.  Sounds like a superb plan!  What do you guys think?  Who wants to be my date?  How many more Sundays of football are there?  I feel like I can get a lot of Sunday brunches in there.

peplum, netting, and lace

Hi everyone.  Sorry that I have been MIA.  Things have been super busy and my focus has been split in a million different directions.  Needless to say, I'm exhausted!  But life moves on with or without you, so I must adjust and power through!  =)  This past weekend, I had the absolute pleasure of coordinating a wedding for a beautiful couple.  They had quite a large wedding party but you know me, I love a challenge.  Hahahaha... The day ran pretty smoothly considering some bad traffic on the way to the Chicago Botanic Gardens.  Why the road that leads there is only ONE LANE is beyond me!  Talk about major traffic.  Three lanes converging into one, right before you reach the entrance?!  Not the smartest.  But besides that, everything else was amazing.  The weather was great and sunny and the bride looked beaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuutiful.  Congratulations S+A!  Thank you for letting me be part of your special day.

I decided to go for a lady-like look and keep things profesh, and instead of traditionally wearing a dress, I went for a top and skirt combo.  Since the peplum trend is well underway right now, I busted mine out.  =)  I absolutely love this top for a myriad of reasons.  One, low price.  Two, low back.  Three, green color.  Four, high neckline.  Five, black netting!  I love the texture the netting gives to this top.  In my opinion, it wouldn't be as cool without it.  The top is a bit loose around the mid-section on me and I haven't had time to get the top altered, so I belted it to hide that fact.  Belts work such magic.  If you have some tops or dresses that you think don't work on you anymore, play with belts and you would be surprised at shapes it can give you.  We didn't get any shots of my shoes because at this point in the day I was in flats that didn't really match.  =P  Being in my heels while running around the gardens would have been inefficient and a disaster.  When it comes to wedding coordination, the bride and groom come before fashion.  I switched to my heels during the ceremony.  =)  Thank goodness The Hubster was around to take shots while I was working.  Multi-tasking baby!  I hope you all had a great weekend!

shades of green

Hi everyone!  I hope you all had a guh-reat weekend!  As for me, I think I found my favorite spring color palette.  I am loving this minty pastel green top that I got at H&M for... guess what... $13!  A-woo-hoo!  It's a sleeveless collared button down top which makes it totally perfect for spring.  And it goes so well with my new Serenity necklace from Stella & Dot.  I love the chunky stones and colors.  It makes me think of the ocean and sunny spring days.  Spring seems to be coming up pretty fast here in Chicago.  We are expecting mid 60 temperatures all next week and I'm super excited!  This day was still a bit chilly so I had to throw on this light jacket that I wore on my previous NY post.  I was definitely enjoying the sunshine.  It instantly puts me in a good mood, even if it's really cold.  

This past Friday night, City Blue had a launch party for their online shop.  Since it's so hard for me to get out and about to shop because of work and just overall busy schedules, I mostly shop online.  I'm excited that now I can peruse the stock at City Blue on their website.  Please visit them at shopcityblue.com.  They have this super cute green Joie top at the store that I'm keeping my eye on!  I hope it shows up on the website soon... wink wink!  I wore this outfit to the launch party, except swapped out the white flares with dark blue flares.  Which just goes to show that a pastel top can work for both day and night.  =)  It was definitely a fun party and I want to thank City Blue for the invite and for letting me bring some guests!  I wanna give a shout out to my loves The Hubster, Trace Face, Miss Sue, and BeeBoy for coming out with me.  The night led us to many adventures with stops at Social 25, Privet (hey Jenny Penny!) and that ended in Chinatown's 7 Treasures.  Kickin' it old school FO SHO!  <3

I encourage you all to add some color in your wardrobe for spring.  A few key pieces to have are white flares and a pastel colored blouse.  Each can add a fresh change to any other piece you already have in your wardrobe.  If you are anything like me, I look at my closet after the cold season and all I see is dark neutrals.  Pops of color are the best way to stand out.  And of course top it all off with some statement jewelry.

switcheroo

Yes, I know, all that is different is the coat.  Hahaha!  Well this was taken on the same day we were in Soho right after I did some damage at Aritzia.  So obsessed with that store!  Especially because there was a huge mega sale section.  This jacket however was not on sale.  But it was pretty reasonable so I had to snag it.  I couldn't help but switch into this jacket right after my purchase so I could snap some shots and show you guys!  And it fit so well with what I was already wearing.  I did look pretty crazy swapping jackets in the middle of the sidewalk and ripping off the tags.  If I remember correctly, this jacket was just a little over $100 and is perfect for spring.  It was actually 55 degrees in Chicago today so I have a feeling I will be using this jacket again very soon.  Yay!  I hope everyone is having a great week!  This have been kinda cray at work and I've only been back for two days!  EEKS!
