Yes, I know. Floral skirt, tee shirt, jean jacket. Could I get any more predictable? (If you’ve been MIA lately, I’m referring to my past few posts: here & here.) What can I say? I practice what I preach. A great denim jacket is the perfect add-on to pretty much any spring outfit!
And can we talk about this Bauble Bar Necklace? I’m obsessed! I love the melon + pink combo. It’s perfect for all of your colorful, spring ensembles! It launches on the Bauble Bar website today, but don’t wait to pick yours up… I have a feeling they will go fast! Only $38!

If you feel like you’ve already seen this outfit, don’t feel crazy because I basically wore the exact same thing last week. (See here.) I dont know what it is, but this floral skirt and denim jacket combo has been my go-to during the random days of bare-leg-weather!

Ever since I spotted this skirt (featured in this post), I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect floral a-line skirt! Although this skirt doesn’t make my heart patter like the Red Valentino version, it’s definitely a favorite since it is under $20! I obviously bought both colors. 
I styled my pleated floral skirt with a casual tee and a denim jacket for work. I kept my accessories bright and my flats neutral to balance out all of the color. While I kept my jean jacket on at the office, you could easily remove the jacket and add some strappy sandals for post-work and weekend festivities.
I don’t know about you, but I can’t get enough of my jean jacket when the temperatures begin to rise! It’s a transitional wardrobe staple and lends the perfect casual touch. A juxtaposition must!

Today is just ONE OF THOSE DAYS. Woke up insanely late. Didn’t have time to wash my incredibly greasy hair. (#dryshampoo) Didn’t have time to put any makeup on. Threw on an outfit without opening my eyes, apparently. Got to the office and realized that I a) am wearing a see through shirt, b) am wearing white jeans when I definitely shouldn’t be (#mothernature #tmi), and c) forgot to even put a jacket on as I scurried out the door. Tried to get a cab for 20 minutes, couldn’t. Then ended up having to take the bus and strolled into work 30 minutes late. I was in the bathroom at work trying to throw on some makeup and fix my hair and my hair tie broke. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back, if you will. May or may not have shed a few tears and a few curse words. It’s one of those days where I just want to go to bed last night and try today again, on the right foot. There’s just one thing that can make a day like today a bit better… Retail therapy.

I crave pieces that are easily dressed up or down. Versatile tops and bottoms make a hectic lifestyle a tad bit easier. You know how it goes.. On the weekends, running errands turns into brunch plans. Brunch can turn into happy hour, and before you know it, you’re running late to your dinner reservation! #changeofplans Therefore, my weekend wardrobe usually consists of a great tee shirt and boyfriend jeans. You can easily swap your accessories, add a blazer, and switch into flats or heels! (Dying for a pair of Tieks to keep in my bag!)

I originally started writing this post when I was still lusting over the iPhone 5. Up until yesterday, I was still rocking the original 4. With 8GB. And yes, I work in social media and run this blog so picture taking is kind of a must. The storage situation and outdated camera were kind of nightmarish so I finally marched my ass to AT&T during lunch and upgraded. And it feels fab!
On the way back to work, I popped into Bloomies and picked up this Milly iPhone case. (More to come on this print!)
But, ya know, since I am kind of a shopaholic, I’m already thinking about what other outfits my new little right hand man (literally) will be sporting this summer.
Here are the front runners… Which is your favorite?
Banana Leaves / Flamingos / Millionaire Quote
Bow / Leopard / Starburst

I’m blaming my recent craving for lady-like sheath dresses on Mad Men. The classic silhouettes, longer hemlines, and neutral color palettes have been luring me in. Anything to win the heart of Don Draper, really. When I saw this black and beige linen sheath dress on a rack at Marshalls, I scurried over to investigate! The last one. By one of my favorite designers. In my size. In one of my favorite color combinations. I didn’t even look at the price tag. (Which is one of my worst habits, but I tell myself it’s okay to do at Marshalls since everything is such a score. #shopaholic #overit)
Nor did I let this dress out of my give-me-it-it’s-mine-grip. Do you know what I mean? That feeling when you have just won the fashion-bargain-lottery? You’re terrified that if you let your little gem out of your hands that someone else will scoop it up and crush your every dream. I couldn’t get to the check out fast enough! Just go ahead and check me into S.A…
I wore this dress to the office earlier this week, but I’m also envisioning it accompanying me to brunch, on weekend getaways, and maybe even to a bridal shower or two!

I’m combining two of my loves today — monochromatic looks + french bulldogs. As of late, my black and white pieces have been in heavy rotation. (Evidenced here, here, & here.) I’m assuming the gray skies have had something to do with my constant reaching for a neutral color palette, but hey, at least black & white is on trend this season!
If you follow me on Twitter, you know that I frequently post about my run-ins with frenchies all over the city. I am dying to get a French Bulldog. DY. ING. I mean, I even have a Pinterest board of the little guys. (Sssh! Don’t tell Daisy!) But considering I barely have time to take care of myself in New York, it would be insanely selfish to get a dog right now. Believe me, if I had time for a puppy, Daisy would already be a Big Apple B*tch. 
Until life slows down (is that even a thing?!), I’ll be getting my frenchie fixation through cheeky tees!

When I got these pants last week, I couldn’t help but reach for orange & coral accessories. We all know I love a good orange + blue outfit! I’m planning to pair these anchor print pants with lavender, mint, pink, and a classic red in the warmer months to come. Have you picked up any fun pants for spring?
