Spring bells are ringing

Smock around striped top + Minimal lace up heels + levi's 501 skinny jeans: Free People | Earrings: Catori Life 

This striped top screams spring! The color of the stripes + the cute bell sleeves and the off shoulder style. What can I say, I'm obsessed.


Once again I'm wearing my 501 Levi's. I get so many compliments every time I wear this pair, and the light wash is one of my fave. I call them my baggy skinnys.


The pair of earrings I'm wearing here were my valentines present this year. The company Catori Life has beautiful handmade boho jewelry, and for every piece purchased they plant 30 trees that offer jobs in places like Haiti, Madagascar, Nepal and Ethiopia. AMAZING!  Check it out!

Husband did good.

Quality vs Quantity

Pullover sweater: Urban Outfitters | tee: Madewell | Loved Leather Messenger backpack + High Rise Busted Skinny Jeans + Joe Lace up Boot (Jeffrey Campbell) in Khaki suede + Retro Jean Belt + Arrow Stone Ring: Free People

I had been wanting a backpack for a very long time. This backpack, along with this comfy boots, fit the -bill- (Christmas gift cards), also they both go with everything in my closet.

I knew that if I was going to spend the gift cards it had to be on things I wasn't going to be able to buy (because of the price tag). Also it had to be something that was going to get a lot of use, be durable and not be part of a passing trend. -Quality vs quantity, am I right?

These boots and backpack have already been worn a lot... So to my family, thank you so much for these awesome presents!

This chunky sweater comes out every year when we get that one 40 degree weather day, and it always keeps me warm. I'm glad I got this one last year. Even after de-cluttering my closet, it continues to be a keeper. 

Grounded Kitty

Embellished Military Shirt Jacket + Britney tee + Hunt the Plains boots (Jeffrey Campbell) + Jemima bralette: Free People

Happy hump day! Last night my dream involved cool weather and oh! how I wish that was true this morning. I need winter desperately.

But let's talk about this jacket. The detail on the sleeve is beautiful. It's a light shirt material, meaning it's somehow bearable in the heat. This is another loved item at Free People, and it also comes in army green.

When I told my husband we had a t-shirt at work that looked like a kitty destroyed it, he laughed. But wouldn't you agree? The name of this top should've been the "my kitty is grounded tee". Free People should let me name their products. 

Ps. I also need a cat.
