Mustard and Blue

Is matching too much a bad thing? I don't think so.  There is something so eye-catching about a perfectly put together ensemble.  Not that I am against not matching.  In fact I often don't match.  But sometimes I get it right and I like to think this outfit is one of those times. Got to love it.

Hot Boston

Oh the lovely heat in Boston. How is it my warm California home is cold when I visit, but my supposed to be freezing Boston home is a toaster? Well I am not complaining now. I get to shed the tights and wear dresses, skirts and shorts with my lovely pale bare legs!

Velvet Blazer is Free People, tank-top is Free People, shorts are cut off men's pants from Target, floral scarf is Target, sandals are from Italy, belt is hand-me-down from grandma

I hope the heat stays!

ps. what do you think of the scarves in hair trend? I personally am obsessed. 

Pretty Hippie

With summer heat beating down on Beantown, pretty fashions are breaking out all over the streets.  Alex Hyken looked lovely today in a Hippie inspired ensemble. The flowing pink top works perfectly in the summery heat. She is rocking a flared jean with adorable brown sandals. She has such a breezy summer style, and how cute is her bag? 

What is your favorite way to dress in the heat?

Goodbye Boston! For now...

Hello Spring Break! Ah how good a week off feels. The ever lovely Kristina Woolf looked extra fabulous today in honor of the last day of classes.

She looked extra chic in an a black coat, black tights and black sunglasses with accents of bright red in her heels and head band. And that is just the outer layer of her outfit. 

Underneath the coat, Kristina has an adorable patterned dress with a black bow belt cinching the waist. I just love the cut of the dress.

Now I am off to California for a week! Oh how I love long plane rides! Especially when I have a scarf in my hair and a movie to watch.

Sunny Days Street Style

With Spring temperatures gracing us, a plethora of beautiful outfits have broken out on the Boston streets. Spring air is infectious and legs that have been sheathed for months finally get to breathe. Not only have moods been improved, but the warm air also allows layers to be shed revealing lovely outfits underneath.

Leora Kaufman embodies spring in her light denim skirt and striped shirt. Her oatmeal colored scarf, light brown shiny belt and collection of bracelets accent the simple outfit wondrously.  Her brown Oxfords are the perfect collegiate touch. 

Sharon Weissburg looked stunning today in a simple skirt-shirt combination. The light mint color of the skirt was a perfect homage to spring.  It matched the top rim of her sunnies tying the outfit seamlessly together.

She too sported Oxfords. Two-toned in this case, but just as adorable. 

 Be sure to swing round Sharon's blog at http://pretzelsandfluff.tumblr.com/ to check out more of her lovely outfits and fashion inspirations!

Cassandra Shavney looked the epitome of Spring in her white lace dress, floral patterned cardigan and white lace styled Oxfords.  I love the detailing on the shoes.

Anyone else loving the Spring weather? Notice any trends? I'd love to hear!

Where is my Mind?

 Today's post is a bit eclectic.  Due to my insane ability to procrastinate to the last possible second on an assignment, yesterday and today have been a mess of my mind not cooperating with my best intentions.  That led to today's outfit being less than inspired. So I'll share yesterday's instead! 


I am a huge fan of mixing fabrics. I think the textured layer look is simply stunning. So I decided to layer one of my favorite lace dresses under a navy blue mixed-fabric button-down shirt dress. I cinched the waisted with a light brown woven belt that was my grandma's. I polished off the look with grey sweater tights, red lipstick and my utility boots.

Lace dress is Free People, shirt dress is Urban Outfitters, tights are from Target, man boots are Payless, belt is a hand me down from Grandma



In other news I saw the lovely Allison Macika on Comm Ave today and couldn't resist grabbing a picture. Her bright yellow dress was an eye-catching dream. I loved its sheer top layer. Accenting it with all black and the the pop of the red bow kept the color of the dress from being overwhelming in the winter. And look how cute her bow flats are! Allison, you looked lovely today.

Finally, here is a little something I saw today that made me happy. A ladder is always a happy symbol to me because I love heights and the idea of ascending. To top it off the sunshine created an ethereal glow at the top of the ladder. A growling stomach was all that stopped me from climbing it.


How do you feel about bright colors in the winter? Love to hear!

First Street Style

Ah the introduction of street style! I am rallying my courage and finding fashionable people to share with you! 

Today the lovely Hanna Stolarski was sporting a particularly lovely outfit. I absolutely adore the mix of the high-waisted denim skirt with the graphic v-neck. And is that a couple swing dancing on the shirt? Hanna, as if I need more reasons to love you. The black tights, saddle-style shoes, and top knot keep it fabulous from head to toe. Throw in a cardigan, red lipstick and coffee, what else do you need to start a day? Thank you Hanna for showing us a college student need not relegate to sweatpants and UGGs.

Legs legs legs

My lovely roommate has legs for days. It is absolutely stunning. Now I know a lot of people don't like the dark tight/open light shoe combo, I know I had a hard time warming up to it, but in the freezing winter of Boston, I think its the way to go. With my Jeffrey Campbell's on and her black tights, Rebecca's legs take over, and it looks amazing. Despite being rather tall ladies, Rebecca and I still rock the heels so we can be towering giants.

The contrast between the light floral and the dark semi-opaque tights really makes the shoes pop.                                                               
Isn't she lovely? Tell me your opinion on tights or socks with open toed shoes. For? Against? Indifferent? I'd love to hear!
