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?

Denim on Denim

Denim is great. It is versatile, it is comfortable, it is durable, it is fashionable. The important thing to remember when doing denim on denim is to mix the shades so the outfit is not too matching. Helen Petty works the denim on denim fabulously.  Mixing a darker washed skinny jean, rolled at the ankles w, with a light denim vest looks great with her black and white striped sweater. And check out her pretty necklace!

How do you feel about mixing denims?

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!

Fur

I think fur is simply fabulous. Not real fur. Real fur makes me sad. But faux fur makes me happy because it looks so glamorous. I want a long fur coat, I tried one on in Urban Outfitters and paraded around with my cat-eyed sunglasses like a fool. It is just so soft and luxurious. One day I will have one. Until then there is this lovely example of how stunning fur can be to keep me hopeful. Thanks Kristina for finding this gem.

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.
