Floral Midi Skirt

{Mustard Turtleneck}

The weather is FL is absolutely FREEZING right now!!! We went from high 70's, even low 80's, to 40's and 50's!! I know I can't really complain, since many of you are experiencing snow and temps below the 30's, but this FL girl is ready for heat and spring clothing! Snagged this chunky mustard turtleneck a couple weekends ago for $5. I had been lusting for a mustard turtleneck ever since I set eyes on the Elin Kling for Marciano version. Elin's version was over $200, so I'm happy to have found a much cheaper version. Gah, I love thrifting! ;) Happy Monday loves! xo

Happy Monday loves!! Wore this outfit a couple weeks ago when the weather was chilly -- unfortunately Tampa Bay is in the 80's right now. Really sucks. Some of you may crave the milder weather but I'm not ready for short sleeves and bikinis just yet! ;)

Love how the beanie trend is in full force right now. Such an easy solution to a bad hair day! How do you feel about the trend? Are you a fan?

I wore this outfit the day after Christmas to do some shopping with the fam, and I have to say I'm mildly obsessed with this mustard grandpa cardi I recently snagged from H&M (and might I add it was on sale). I had been lusting over the Elin Kling for Marciano oversized mustard sweater for awhile, but just couldn't bring myself to spend over $200 for a sweater I wouldn't get much use out of. Maybe if I lived in a colder climate, but here in FL sweater and coat weather doesn't last as long as we'd like it to. Since the birth of my baby girl (on 12/6/12), I've been reaching for clothing that is comfortable but still makes me look and feel good. All I've been wanting to wear lately are ribbed leggings with long sweaters and stretchy skirts. I don't feel too comfortable in my jeans just yet -- but I know that will come in time. Looking forward to the 6 week mark so I can start jogging with my little girl in her stroller. I never thought I would say I miss working out, but I really do. Another thing I'm loving lately? My shorter locks. My hair is easily manageable now -- taking less than 15 minutes to blow dry! Really helps with being a new Mom. :)

Hope everyone has a fab weekend! xo

Pink & Chic!

Hey loves! This Nokia Pink N8 phone has me inspired to break out all my bright pink pieces! This skirt has been awaiting it's moment on the blog for months... I love the color but the pockets and buttons down the front make it one of my fave midi skirts in my closet. If you didn't get a chance to check out my post yesterday, I announced on my blog that I have made it to round 3 in the Nokia & Elle search for the Next Style Correspondent! I'm over the moon with excitement and my fingers are crossed tightly! Making it to NYFW would be an unbelievable experience!! If you would like to see me make it to NYFW, please "like" my photo below. Thanks so much for the love and support! xo!

Vintage Skirt + Crochet Top.

{skirt + earrings + bracelets + necklace: vintage; crochet top: vintage 'Saks Fifth Avenue'; shoes: Marc Jacobs; watch: Michael Kors}

Hello loves! Friday is almost upon us and I couldn't be happier!! This skirt was a thrift purchase during my trip to Savannah a couple months ago. I just love the high-waist and the print. This Saks crochet top is one of my all-time fave tops in my closet. It's another item I picked up while thrifting a couple years ago, and it goes well with almost anything! I purchased these Marc Jacobs heels last year at one of my all-time fave local vintage shops: Misred Outfitters. They have a huge collection of ah-mazing vintage pieces (and at affordable prices). You must follow them on facebook to see the fab outfits they post throughout the day {p.s. they will ship something to you if something catches your eye}.

Here is their latest Promo video {it rocks!}!

Vintage Floral Midi Skirt.

Hey dolls! Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend... mine was filled with oh-so-fun yard work and a day at the beach. We planted some beautiful Stargazer Lillies in the front yard {my fave flowers on the planet!}.

This is an outfit I wore last week... I just can't get enough of the mid-length skirts! :) This skirt and necklace are two recent thrift finds. I spent less than $10.00 for both. I have so many rustic necklaces like this, my collection is ever-growing.

Rainbow + Midi Skirt.

{skirt + top + necklace: vintage; heels: Aldo; watch: Michael Kors; bracelets: David Yurman}





Hey loves! Just a quick post today, as I'm feeling a little under the weather and need to rest! This is an outfit I wore recently. It made me feel so pretty and girly. I love all the bright colors, and the skirt is one of my faves. One, because it's a midi-length (a trend that I'm just loving at the moment). Two, because it's SUPER soft, and Three, it has pockets! I love a skirt with pockets!

I hope everyone's week is winding down and everyone has a fun weekend planned. I get to see one of my BEST friends this weekend. So excited! It's been like two years since I've seen her AND we'll be getting together at her first baby shower! :) I cannot wait!


Lastly, I just want to give a BIG THANKS to everyone who follows my blog, visits my blog, and for those of you that leave me the sweetest comments ever! THANK YOU! :) You keep me going on the days that I feel like just stopping the blog all-together (and yes, that happens sometimes). You all remind me how fun it is to blog, and why I started in the first place. So thanks! I'm coming up on my blog's one year anniversary next month, and I cannot believe how fast time flies and also how my style has evolved from the moment I've started. Fashion blogging has really inspired me so much, and most of my inspiration comes from all the other ah-mazing blogs out there! So thanks for inspiring ME! ;) Today I reached my 700th follower! Makes me happy! Xo!

P.S. I did my first Q&A post the other day, so if you've been wanting to ask me something then ASK AWAY HERE! I'll be answering all the questions in a week or two.
