Floral Arrangement

Trending big this spring are floral prints. Surprised? I'm not. I feel like florals are always trending for spring. Really, this is not revolutionary. But they were all over the runways back in September, so everyone from big names like Anna Sui and Nanette Lepore, all the way down to H&M and even Nike are getting in on the flower power. Normally I'd say stick with one print and go (you don't want to be a walking fashion disaster), but I'm into mixing and matching florals with stripes or checks, so find two subtle prints that don't necessarily feel matchy-matchy, and you're good to go (like the amazing dress paired with the vans sneaks below!).

Friday Happiness

First Friday Happiness post in quite some time, but I'm happy to back sharing things that have made me happy this week! With Valentine's Day behind us, I'm looking forward to finishing out February and getting into March..my birthday month! Hope you all had a great week! Enjoy the weekend!

Sweet Treats

For the past 8 years, I've spent the night before Valentine's Day playing baker in the kitchen. Between cupcakes and cookies (my boyfriend's favorites), I've pretty much covered all the traditional bases, so this year, instead of making plain-old red velvet cupcakes, I decided to get crafty and mimic these adorable festive ones. The process seemed easy enough (and it was), and I'm thrilled with how cute they look all boxed up. Some boy is going to be one happy camper tonight...

Wardrobe Wednesday: Print Mixing

There are some weeks when only jeans, a sweater, and boots will do. And then there are weeks when I'm feeling inspired and creative. This is one of those weeks. I've been delving into my wardrobe and pulling out pieces with different textures, and pairing them up for a more for a more put together, yet edgy look. I'm liking the outcome, and also the feedback.

Yesterday's outfit was no exception. I paired my favorite camo pants (new jean version here), with a breezy pale pink top (similar top here), and threw on some calf hair leopard heels, just for fun. I can't tell you how many compliments I got, and I can't lie, I didn't mind it one bit :)

Lim Love

I've been keeping track of all the shows over at Lincoln Center this week (sat this Fashion Week out--September is more fun anyway!), and I'm loving all of the amazing designs that have made their way down the runways. I have to say though, one collection in particular has totally stolen my heart...Mr. Lim, you have done it again. The leather, the shearling, the moto-inspired edge. Seriously, does it get any better? Now if only I could find a way to make my bank account love you just as much as do...

Valentine's Day Gift Guide

I've never been huge into Valentine's Day-unless you count being in grammar school and writing little notes to all your friends Valentines and sticking them into shoe box mailboxes during the class party-so the only thing that gets me truly excited for the holiday is all the chocolate and treats that I know I'll eat (my mom has been buying me those huge red heart shaped boxes of chocolate since I was a little girl..and I always save the carmel squares for last!).  But its always fun to get festive presents (my boyfriend's mom always sends me a little package of heart shaped goodies!), and these are somethings that I'd love for my Valentine to get me this year!

Corgi for J.Crew socks, Hanky Panky undies, Essie Leading Lady polish
Christopher Kane + J Brand jeans, Nike Dunk wedges, Philosophy shower gel
Tucker bustier, Diptyque Rose Duet candle, Erin Fetherston pouch, Sydney Evan ring

OKC, Yea You Know Me

It's been a while since I've posted, but I felt like I needed to take a little break from blogging. Between the holidays, crazy traveling for work, and everyday life, I seemed to get caught up, and a break from this place seemed inevitable. But I'm back and ready to get going again! I still seem to be having issues with my pictures, so I'll be working on getting those back up, as soon as possible, and I'm thinking a little blog makeover is necessary, so be on the look out for a little change around here!

As many of you guys know, I work for FITNESS Magazine, and couldn't be luckier to have the opportunity to work with spandex, cool kicks, sparkly gems, and awesome clothes on a regular basis. I love getting addicted to new brands and finding new amazing pieces, but I'm a creature of habit, and will always be true and loyal to my favs. Junkfood Clothing is definitely one of them. 

I love to mix-and-match slouchy, casual pieces with more structured items in my wardrobe, so when I got my hands on this super cute OKC Thunder top (from their new NBA collection!), I knew I needed to dress it up with some jewels and a blazer. It was the perfect outfit for a crazy day in the office, and all I had to do when I got home was take my blazer and jeans off, throw on my favorite Lululemon leggings, and snuggle up with a blanket and the Bachelor (anyone else obsessed with Sean Lowe and his abs?).
