Back in Action!

Katina's vest // Thrifted denim shirt // Etienne Aigner purse // Karen Scott boots

SO.....
After many, many, many weeks I'm happy to announce that I'm back in the blogging world!!!!! Woohoo!
(Oh and Katina is too, haha even though she's been patiently waiting for me to get my life organized)
Since my last blog post, I've moved back to NC and gotten a big-girl job...some pretty big changes, but they're the good kind of changes that take a while to get used to. Now that I'm finally falling into a daily routine, I'm happy to fit this blog back into my life-and hopefully you're happy to have it back in yours!

zigzag chevron

 Francesca's top // Marshalls pants // Michael Shannon boots //  Etienne Aigner purse // Michael Kors watch

It's no surprise that I love chevron, and this shirt is a fun stylized version of one of my favorite prints. It was also the perfect top to wear in this crazy weather-not too hot but not too cold, and flowy enough to cope with the wind!

lazy day

 Marshall's chambray top // Forever 21 cardigan // Karen Scott boots // Michael Kors watch

This is the perfect outfit for a lazy day: comfortable, casual, and multi-layered. 

I also have no idea what the graffiti says on the last picture (it didn't seem offensive though!) but I couldn't resist a photo-op!

tortoise shell obsessed

 Michael Kors watch // Marshall's pants // Mother's sweater // Unisa boots // Gifted necklace

So I've been in love with tortoise shell for a couple years now, but as of late it's taken on a whole new level of obsession. Anytime I see something tortoise shell I immediately want it -- earrings, sunglasses, bracelets, etc. Needless to say when I got this necklace for Christmas I was extremely happy, because I've been on the search for a tortoise and gold chain-link one to match my watch!

cozy layers

 Forever 21 sweater // Marshall's dress and scarf // River Island boots

This outfit is super cozy and perfect for the colder weather when I don't feel like wearing jeans...all of the layers keep me warm and I love the mixed textures and patterns. Wearing everything in the same color palette helps to ensure a cohesive look...something to definitely keep in mind so you don't end up looking miss-matched!

B. Makowksy purse // Marshall's top // Forever 21 skirt // Karen Scott boots

While Katina was home for Christmas break, we got a chance to go to our favorite restaurant in Norfolk, Luna Maya, for our yearly Mother/Daughter dinner with both of our moms. Besides hosting our annual gathering, Luna Maya seriously has the best vegetarian tamales and guacamole...seriously they're amazing!

Everly dress // Katina's vest & watch // Forever 21 earrings // Michael Shannon boots

So I finaly got a chance to wear my homecoming dress again! I love this chevron dress because for one--I love chevron, and two--I love long sleeve dresses. Paired with an army vest and tan boots it makes this outfit more "day appropriate" and versatile.
