Can't Get Enough

So, I know you've seen these heels before. The truth is, I can't get enough. If an opportunity presents itself, you best believe, I'm slappin' these babies on! Every time I see their gorgeous shade of highlighter yellow, I get really excited! 

For this ootd, I wanted my accessories to really pop (as if they don't enough already), so I went for all black in my clothing. Watch out! My heels and bag might blind you when I stroll by! Do you love this hue as much as I do?

Orange Is the New Black

Spring is the newest season and orange is the new black. For today at least! Surely I'll be back to onyx, but in the meantime I'm gonna play tag with the bumble bees. 

I paired this zip front, pleated-bodice dress with a long cardigan (which I love!). This lightweight cardigan has 3/4 sleeves making it perfect for this warming weather. What's more? Check out this cuff! I spent some time in DC's Eastern Market this weekend and picked up this aqua-green leather cuff. You know my love for leather cuffs, especially when they're by local designers! I finished the look with soft makeup and big hair.

What do you think?

Morning Stretch

Ah! The weather is getting so beautiful outside! The best way to get your body going in the morning is to move it. I went for quite a run yesterday, so today I'm just stretching and letting my body rest. It feels so good! Happy Friday! Have a great weekend ;-)

Scarf Fix

Hey style lovers! 

So, the consistent Zulily ads on Facebook got me. For a long while, I've been searching for a particular scarf print and, lo and behold, an advertisement came through with that print and that it was on sale. I figured I would give this online shopping site a shot, and purchased a total of three infinity scarves, including this tribal print, for under $30.

Have you ever shopped on that site? What fashion finds did you purchase?

Slick

A big runway trend for hair this season is a slicked back wet look. To achieve this I used Privé Weightless Amplifier, Bead Head Totally Baked, Kérastase Gelée Aqua-Proof, and Sebastian Shaper Hairspray. My hair stayed like this all day without (surprisingly) feeling rock hard! 

Here is some cool wardrobe inspo to accompany this hair. Don't limit yourself though! This tough style can pair really nicely with a softer choice of clothing. Check back later to see what that might look like! 

What do you think of the slicked back look? Would you try it?

A Gift To Me

This year is flying by! It's crazy to think that it's already been 2 months since my birthday ( perhaps because every day I want it to be my birthday?! J/k...but really...)!! 

If your an Express card holder, then you know in the month of your birthday they send you a gift card to use in their store toward a purchase. Well I for sure am not going to turn down a gift!  So I marched right in there to hunt for a new goody and walked out with this  fun little dress. It's so comfy! Plus I love that it's mini and has tiny little sequins all over it! What do you think?

So Simple

It's so simple to liven up your look. Just put on a dress! 

For an event, I chose to wear this long dress with a lace overlay and belt. See, I wasn't feeling very well this day, and effortless was key! Lace is in this season and the rich color made it evening appropriate. The belt is braided and its color adds a nice pop. 

As I was walking by these beautiful flowers, I decided I would tuck one behind my ear to finish off the look. What do you think?

Anything But Cardio

Look what I found in Metairie! While I was on vacation in Louisiana about a month ago, I had to make a trip to the MAC counter. As I was passing through the mall, I was stopped in my tracks when I saw this shirt! Let's be honest, sometimes it takes a good 30 Day Challenge to get this girl a movin'!

As for the blossoms, it's time to say goodbye. (le sigh.) 

At least this means sunny skies are on their way!

Enjoy your day!
