Well friends, I wore this little number to ladies night on Friday. I was feeling super cute and saucy.....and then my doodle man threw up for the first time in his life. As a mother watching your child suffer in unexplainable.......then on Sunday I was on the way to a little get together when I got sick.....then literally 30 minutes later my husband got sick. Needless to say this wasn't my favorite weekend ever but I'll tell you one thing:  waking up Tuesday morning and having the strength to get out of bed put everything into perspective. Life is beautiful and as long as you have your health and happiness NOTHING else matters, ya dig? 

PS we thought we were in the clear of this stomach virus but the hubs got sick again as I was writing this so.........here we go!!!

Spring Transition Piece Part Two: The Tweed Jacket

jacket: the limited (old, similar here)//shirt: t by alexander wang (available here)//  jeans: seven for all mankind (similar here)// shoes: shoemint (similar here)// sunnies: ray ban (available here)// jewels: stella & dot

Hello! A couple of weeks ago I did a post on Spring transition pieces and you guys said it was very helpful so I figured I would do another one but this time on the tweed jacket! I love tweed jackets but done in a more modern way.....obviously I love them paired with casual denim. The first look is more flirty and great for going out.....simply put on a slinky tank and fierce heels and you are good to go!!

Another way to do a tweed jacket is to throw on a pair of casual denim and some interesting but still comfy flats and you are ready to take on the world (or your 19 month old :) ) in style!! Was this helpful? Is there another transition piece you would like to see styled? PS I can't freaking wait for the weather to warm up because Ima be rocking these blazers with short flirty rompers like every day.

Have you guys checked the What2Wear facebook page for Monday's surprise yet?!

Fashion Meets Art

There are two kinds of people in the world...those that view fashion as art.....and those that don't.....if you are of the second category you should probably stop reading this and go check the stock market or something...just kidding, but seriously. I know people often claim to "love" fashion but there are few that I've come across that appreciate it in such a way. I'm very honored to be wearing this tee designed by Allison from A's Fashion Files because she is one of those people that shows her love of art and fashion and how they combine on a daily basis. That is all :)

PS do I have the best photographer or what?! Molly is like a pregnant power house!!!!

Hello friends!! This past week has been incredibly busy so sorry for not getting to make my rounds on the blogosphere....I will as soon as I can.....I feel like I'm back and better than ever with the "What I Would Wear" series Paris Fashion Week edition. And what better way to celebrate Paris than with a Masion Martin Margiela collaboration piece? I know I went on a rant about collaborations but this bodysuit is one of those pieces that I don't care if anyone/everyone owns....I HAD to own it. Our local H&M never carries the collabs so when I heard these pieces were floating around on ebay I snatched this one up as soon as I could log into my paypal account!!!!!! Paired with a metallic tweed and destroyed denim......what can I say, I'm in lurve :))))

"Start With Your Quirk and Build On It"

Happy Friday skrillas.....this past week I was reading an article on Phillip Lim (the maker of my favorite pair of oxfords in the world that I'm sporting today) when a quote he said caught my attention: "start with your quirk and build on it".......So inspirational right?! I'd like to think he was speaking directly to me, so lets just pretend he was. It feels like I have finally found my direction and that is I DON'T HAVE ONE... I discovered I can't be pegged with one "style"; I just love beautiful, interesting clothes.

And being that New York Fashion Week is in full swing right now I'm excited to share with you my current project. Instead of sulking about not being able to go to any fashion events I decided to bring them to me......Starting on Monday I'll be celebrating New York Fashion Week by showing the outfits I would wear if I was going and sitting front row at all of the shows. The next week will be London Fashion Week outfits, the week after  will be Milan Fashion Week and the piece de resistance is Paris Fashion Week. Fashion Week is the time where you just go balls to the walls with your most creative and fashion forward outfits so I'm going to really push myself and hopefully it will inspire you guys to do the same!!!

PS thank you for sharing your thoughts on what you have been afraid to do on the last past post...I really did enjoy reading all of your comments :)

And in case you missed an outfit this week....

 For those of you that know me/follow me you are well aware of my printed pants obsession.....and this weekend I took it a little bit further by creating my own print. My favorite part of diy-ing clothes is you never really know what the outcome will be. In this case.....I am lurving it! Baahah I love that in one of these shots I'm actually break dancing on a stage and in another I'm on the phone with the husband about the groceries for the week....

If you are interested in doing this project yourself see the steps in the DIY album on the What2Wear Facebook page (just use equal parts bleach and water instead of fabric dye).

P.S. like my necklace/ bangle /ring? Well good news...through Thursday if you spend $50 then you get these 3 items and a couple more at 50% off! Um, what, yea I said it, that's a steal!!! If you are interested then check out this link....but be sure to order through this trunk show otherwise it won't work :)
