Sweater - Ann Taylor//Dress -  Wink NYC//Shoes - Kathryn Amberleigh//Necklace - Emily & Ashley


Hello all, hope you had a nice spring weekend!  I pulled out some pastels for Easter Sunday.  This breezy-looking skirt is actually a dress that I picked up on sale at WiNK NYC.   It's super comfy and who knew, it happened to match the daffodils in my family's garden :)

I pulled a sweater over this dress because I wanted to dress up a bit, but didn't want to be overdressed for Easter mass and lunch with the family and close friends.  A delicate and girly skirt like this one is kept grounded with something casual on top, like my super soft Ann Taylor sweater.   Paired with a fun shoe with some texture, and a slightly tousled fishtail braid, this Sunday look is anything but boring.  

How did you play up your Sunday Best?

 

Transition

Dress - Priory of Ten//Leather Jacket - Muubaa

The weather is finally starting to get nicer, and now's the time to play with transition pieces for winter to spring.  A long, lightweight dress with fun details like this Priory of Ten one with sheer top details, is appropriate for the slowly (very slowly) rising temperatures.  Pair it with a leather jacket for the parts of the day when the sun fades back into the clouds.

Spring White

Shirt - H&M//necklace - Greenbeads by Emily & Ashley//shorts - Zara 

The beauty of white-on-white is that you can wear it all year long.  I love this soft, sheer button-down for it's versatility.  I've swapped out my pants for shorts because it's technically spring, but maybe I'll just hang out on my windowsill until the weather matches the season.

Shopophyle - Spring 2014 Wants

Spring 2014 wants


Spring is upon us, and with the change in season comes a need for fresh pieces in rotation.  Here are my Spring 2014 Shopophyle wants!
 

1. Faded denim - H&M denim shirt  
The denim trend always comes back in the spring, and this time I'm loving the faded denim washes on shirts.

2. Orange Lippie - MAC Cosmetics makeup
I've already broken out my OCC Lip Tar in Beta, but that's for my more daring days.  This color will be more versatile for everyday wear.

3. Mini bag -  3.1 Phillip Lim satchel handbag
I mean, just look at those polka dots! How can one resist? 

4. Mini bag #2 - Elizabeth and James leather purse
Mini, bucket style, and pastel, this little number hits three different spring trends at once.

5. Culottes - Topshop
You have to be a little more daring to pull these off, but paired with the right pieces, it can be done gracefully.

6. Embellished shades - Dsquared2
These instantly make any outfit more fun, while still looking sophisticated and glamorous.  I'll be dreaming about the Swarovski-encrusted beauties while I look for a more affordable version.

7. Pastel blue color - Essie nail polish in Truth or Flare
This is one of my favorite spring colors, and a manicure is the easiest way to incorporate it into a look.  Listed as a "vintage blue denim", it is just begging to be paired with my h&m shirt [#1], don't you think?

8. Colorful kicks -  New balance shoes
I have no qualms about the current moment that bright, colorful kicks are having (nor do my feet).  This spring I'm going to (comfortably) explore more into what kind of creative fun heel-less shoes have to offer.

What's on your list of Wants this spring?
