COLOR CRAZE
Adding some spring shades into my wardrobe to end the week. Don't be fooled by the sun though, it's still very cold ;)
HOW TO PAIR NAVY & BLACK
Today, I am crushing one of my favorite fashion faux pas & pairing navy & black in one look. I am such a fan of this interesting color pairing & think it looks so chic when done right. The best part is, pairing these shades is much easier than you may think. Read on for my TWO simple tips to pulling off this pairing!

HOW TO LOOK STYLISH & STAY WARM
Wow, February for the most part has been SO cold. Remember back in December when I was still wearing bare legs & thought we would be experiencing a mild winter? I almost can't remember actually! All I feel is cold these days - like I'm stuck in the movie Frozen ;) and while I have been hibernating in my bed as much as possible, I can't stay inside everyday and have had to figure out outfits that look warm & stylish. Read on for a few of my simple tips.
1. Layers on Layers on Layers. Start with a basic tank or t shirt, add a sweater, add a jacket on top of that, & a winter coat on top of that. I'm wearing a long sleeve underneath this sweater & you can't even tell! Wearing a dress or skirt? Layer 2 pairs of tights. The more layers, the warmer you'll be.
2. Winter accessories. Add everything from a scarf to gloves to a hat to your outfit. The bright side to cold weather temperatures is the chance to load up on warm weather accessories that will enhance your outfit.
3. Wear warm, comfortable shoes. A knee high or OTK pair of boots will not only keep your feet warm but will also add an extra layer to your legs. I usually opt for flat boots when it's cold because of possible icy/slippery conditions.
How do you look stylish while staying warm during the winter?

DOUBLE DENIM FOR NYFW
NYFW has come & gone once again & while I opted out of many of the events this time around (Valentine's Day & staying in bed during 2 degree weather > NYFW shows..sorry!), I did have the chance to attend a few fun events during the last week. One being the Thrive Luncheon that I mentioned earlier this week. Today I am sharing my outfit details from that day!
PAJAMA DAY
Serious question: How come there isn't a pajama day once you enter the working world? There are few things I love more than lounging in my PJs & a cozy pair of socks. I actually think I am the most productive at completing blog work when I am comfortable & cozied up. Today, I'm using the cold temperatures & my inability to stand outside without a jacket without freezing to share some of my favorite cozy PJ styles!
THRIVE CAUSEMETICS
Last week during NYFW, I had the pleasure of attending a luncheon for Thrive Causemetics. If you haven't heard of this company, click over to their site right away because they are officially my new favorite, 'beauty with a purpose' brand. Not only are the products great quality, but for each product that is purchased on thrivecausemetics.com, that exact one is donated to a woman going through cancer treatments.
ME & MY TEDDY
Channeling Kendall Jenner & wearing a few pieces that she has been spotted in repeatedly today (Stan Smiths, fur & leather pants to be exact). Truly, this girl has the best street style & Kardashian's aside, has really made a name for herself as a model. #GirlBoss. I love Kendall's effortless street style looks & the way she mixes textures & styles like luxe fur with casual sneakers or edgy leather pants with a casual tee. I kept my look neutral colored a la Kendall Jenner and love how this off duty look turned out.
ALWAYS COLD CLUB
Please tell me I am not the only member of the Always Cold Club ;). Anyone else out these absolutely dread being out in the cold, winter air for too long? My eyes water, my nose runs & I lose feeling in my fingers & toes wayyy too quickly. Last week, J & I went up to Pennsylvania to go skiing. Well - he skied, I fell, a lot, but at least I tried :)! I knew I was going to feel cold every time I stepped outside so I packed my warmest outfits & loaded up on cold weather accessories.
Even in NY right now, it has been very cold & we have experienced quite a bit of snow. In addition to heavy sweaters & a warm pair of boots, there are a bunch of cold weather accessories to get you through the last few weeks of winter.

ENGLISH ROSE
Sharing one last Valentine's Day inspired outfit today. A little black dress is a classic & one that will never go out of style, but what really made this dress special was the bow tie at the neck & the pretty floral pattern.
CLASSIC VALENTINE'S DAY
Today, I am excited to share a Valentine's Day inspired outfit. J, sadly, is going to be away the weekend of Valentine's Day, so we celebrated by taking a ski trip over this past weekend & have been going on a few extra date nights over the last few weeks. That's the great thing about Valentine's Day - it's one of those holidays that's not really a holiday and can (& should) be celebrated anytime of the year. On this particular date night, I went for a classic, red and pink Valentine's Day look.
I wore this long sleeve red dress last year for Valentine's Day as well, but can you blame me? It really is the perfect Valentine's Day dress! This year I paired it with my OTK burgundy boots & a blush pink cross body to keep my whole outfit in the color scheme of LOVE ;)
