Casual Friday.

Jacket: JCrew; Sweater: Target; Necklace: JCrew Factory; Jeans: JBrand; Shoes: Sam Edleman; Bag: Kate Spade

Happy Friday! I woke up this morning and my whole front yard was frozen! Eek! Despite my desire to stay in my pajamas all day and drink tea by the fire, I had things to do. So I decided to take full advantage of casual Friday protocol and wear jeans with these cute Sam Edleman booties. 

I was tempted to wear riding boots because it was so cold, but I hadn't worn these in a while, and I think they add a slightly dressier vibe. My JCrew field jacket was a great layering piece over this cute fisherman sweater from Target. Target has had so much cute stuff lately! I have been tempted to just start throwing things into my cart! 

This JCrew Factory necklace finished things off.  It helped dress up an otherwise casual outfit, kind of like the booties. 

Until next time,

Feelin' Punky

Jacket: Joie; Shirt: Alice and Olivia; Necklace: Kate Spade; Skirt: Kate Spade; Shoes: Joie

Last night I went out in San Francisco with some friends, and took the opportunity to wear this Kate Spade skirt I bought about a month ago - I saw it and had to have it! I mean it is leopard print, which after bows is one of my biggest weaknesses. Paired with my leather jacket and dark lip, I felt pretty punk rock. 

I paired the outfit with this cool pyramid stud embellished collar necklace. I got it for my birthday and have been waiting for a chance to wear it. My dark lip is not from a lipstick but actually a lip stain from Stila - it was great because I didn't have to reapply that much throughout the night. However, it was also still on when I woke up in the morning! 

Bag: Kate Spade

My bow cross body made another appearance... 

And I finished off with these suede wedge booties. I love these shoes for going out! One of my guy friends hates booties because they make girls look like the "have hooves," but that's silly and I keep wearing them anyway. 

Until next time,

Black and White and Red All Over

Lipstick: Nars; Necklace: Kate Spade; Shirt: Equipment

Tonight's was Matt's brother's birthday party. I wore this polka dot Equiment blouse that I bought last year in New York. It has been one of my favorites ever since! I love pairing it with this Kate Spade necklace, as well as a good red lip. I have a tiny obsession with red lipstick, but I feel like I can only wear it at night when I'm dressing up. 

Bracelets and Watch: Kate Spade

My arm party was entirely Kate Spade. The now watch is my "nighttime" watch, as it's technically a cocktail watch, aka it could pass as a bracelet. My grandmother had this thing about not wearing a watch after 7, because ladies shouldn't have anywhere to be. So old fashioned! But it still rings in my ear every time I'm getting ready. 

Shoes: Kate Spade

My glitter Kate Spade loafers made another appearance. The party was just at Matt's parents house, so I didn't want to be too overdressed. They're a very casual family! Which is basically the opposite of my family, where every one gets dressed up for everything. 

Pea Coat: JCrew; Pants: JBrand; Dog: My love

I wore the shirt with my black skinny JBrand jeans, which are my go to for pretty much every day when I don't feel like wearing my JCrew Minnie pants. I should probably get a second pair! Either that or I should buy stock in JBrand. 

I have had this red JCrew pea coat for a few years now and I LOVE it. I can't wait to bring it out of storage every winter, it's so cheery and bright. I consider red the grown up version of pink, so it stands to reason that it's slowly taken over my closet. 

My mom's mini Aussie refused to get out of the picture - she's such a little jerk. But I love the fluffy bum. 

Bag: Kate Spade; Ring: Kate Spade

This bow embellished cross body Kate Spade bag is one of my favorite night time bags. It fits lip stick, my id, and my phone perfectly without being cumbersome. My bow ring also made an appearance! It wouldn't be a party without it. 

Until next time,
