Pretty in Pink

Pink is everything right now. Of course, if you asked me, I'd say pink is everything all the time. This pink sweater, by J.Crew, is the perfect pop of color with this Forever 21 white flirty skirt. My bedazzled white flats from Francesca's bring together the outfit with the silver, blingy jewelry. This necklace, from Charming Charlie's, dresses up the sweater. The bracelets (vintage, Francesca's, vintage) are a fun chunk of silver to break up the pink on my arm. Who doesn't feel lovey in pink? 

Crew Necks: Cute AND Comfy

One of my favorite things in the world to buy is J.Crew t-shirts. I love their v-necks...I love their crew necks. I look for any opportunity to wear these comfy but cute tops. When I was frantically searching through my closet for a top to wear with my navy lace skirt. This J.Crew orange/red crew neck was the perfect choice. I added a little detail to the outfit with gold accessories, including gold and snakeskin Jessica Simpson heels. 

Classically Cool

My best friend Megan has a fabulously beautiful and trendy family so it only makes sense to broadcast it to the world. Her sister, Laura (above), is cool meets chic meets girlie. Laura is keeping it extra cool today in a J.Crew shirt over an easy breezy Forever 21 dress. She polishes off the look with Marc Jacobs sunnies and a little Moroccan oil to keep that gorgeous red hair looking smooth and tame. This is a perfect example of mix-matching your favorite separates to create a new look. Keep on rocking it, Laura.

Safari Sass

Safari...office...same thing. I have been scouting for army green pants for months and finally found the perfect pair. Could it get better? Yes. They were all of $15 from H&M. They were basically GIVING them away. What's even better? They are high waisted. My dream come true. I decided to add some animal flair to the pants with a fun leopard print belt, plenty of foxy bracelets. In addition, the necklace has a tribal vibe to it.

Your Office is Your Runway

I can't get enough of this hammer pants (Forever 21), as I call them. Paired with simple nude heels (Jessica Simpson) and a plain white v-neck (J.Crew), these pants really add a groovy factor to a work day. Added a chunky, blinged-out necklace from Charming Charlie's and my "sock ball" to add a little glam to this 'fit. In addition, it was the perfect opportunity to take this very grey outfit up a notch with my new fuschia lipstick (post to come). Who says going to work can't be fun? Use your office as a runway to keep your 9-5 ever exciting.

These are a Few of My Favorite Things: Hair Edition

I'm not in denial...I am, in fact, a product junkie. I'll try anything to see if it gets my hair softer, longer more quickly, higher, bigger, more conditioned. Luckily, hopefully by reading these posts, you don't have to shop around nearly as often as I do. Above are some of my favorite hair products that are tried and true. Top left is Paul Mitchell's Awapuhi Keratin Intensive Treatment. This heavy duty conditioner does miracles. Leave on during your entire shower, washing out at the end and voila - silky hair. To the right of the conditioner is my favorite post-shower serum. This "renewing" Moroccan Argan Oil Penetrating Oil by Organix is a must-have. At right at $6, there is no reason to not buy it. This product restores shine and softness and strengthens your hair. A girlfriend of mine at work even runs it through her hair during the work day to counteract mid-day dry hair issues. To the right of the oil is a hair pick. Of course, if you know me, you know I carry around a much "rattier" version from the 80's (it was my mother's and is a heirloom in my eyes). Back-combing is not just something you do to your hair - it's a way of life. Big hair, honey. It's everything. Next, we have Peter Coppola's argan oil finishing spray. Not only does it smell heavenly but it's perfect for non-hairspray lovers (I happen to LOVE hairspray). When wearing my hair curly, I use this as an all-over spray to help the curls hold without a crunchy, hard look. In the middle is my Conair sock bun maker. Buy one, try one, love one. Perfect for second day hair and an effortless up-do. Bottom left is my trust leopard print J.Crew headband. I use this thing to get the hair out of my face while doing my makeup, washing my face and for a fun day outing. Bonus - it's not cheap looking leopard print. 

Maxi Skirt: Must Have

I LOVE this olive green maxi skirt. Not like how I love my favorite lotion or my favorite blanket...more like how I love my iPhone (mega mega). I found this skirt at H&M and it's the most comfortable purchase I've made in a minute. Paired with a plain white J.Crew v-neck and some fun safari-esqe shoes and accessories and you've got yourself an outfit. Talk about comfort!
