Kate Spade Spring Colors & a CHOiES Midi Skirt…on Cortneybre…

Everything is blooming here in the Peach State!  I love the warmer weather and the sunny days.  I can also finally begin to access my Spring and Summer closet and start incorporating lighter clothing into my everyday wearables.

I’ve been shopping online quite a bit lately and trying new shops and websites.  CHOiES is my new obsession; I’m expecting a package of CHOies goodies soon.  I bought this skirt a few weeks ago and just love it!  

I realized I didn’t have a solid black midi skirt and decided to take a chance on this beauty.  CHOiES is similar to Chic Wish but I do think the sizing is a little bigger (and truer).  I ordered a size up in this skirt and it was quite loose so I think I can order true to my regular size on the CHOiES site which is good for my ego if nothing else!

PSX_20150402_132018I’ve featured this jacket before and I’m almost ready to debut the entire floral ensemble in all its beautiful glory.  I loved how I could add this jacket to the outfit and it turned it into something completely different.  I wear a costume of many layers, my friends.  🙂  

These shoes were also a HUGE hit!  I purchased them from Shoe Dazzle and let me just say..they are so comfortable and stylish!

Happy in Boden Blue and Polka Dots!

Hello my friends!  Hope you’re faring well during this cold winter!  The holidays are behind us…if only for a few months and I’m excited my schedule has calmed a bit.

I’m now fighting the battle to stay warm and stylish, especially when its much easier and more comfortable to bundle up in thick, shapeless attire.  However…I refuse to succumb and on this particular day, I chose a polka dotted shirt by Boden to brighten up this drab climate!   

I am absolutely in love with Boden’s new Spring line.  I have several items in my cart now just awaiting purchase.  Check out their new Spring line here!  The Grace Skirt and Alice High Heels are a must have! 

Until Spring arrives, my new winter staple, and one which I cannot believe I didn’t come upon before, is fleece lined tights!

I stumbled upon a treasure trove of them at Marshall’s a few weeks ago and I’ve worn them almost every single day since that time.  

I actually find tights more comfortable than jeans or pants so I’m enjoying the comfort they bring as well as the warmth!  As with today’s outfit, don’t forget to add color!  I love these fleece lined navy blue tights by Steve Madden.  Buy them here or check out your local Marshalls!  

Another way of adding color is with a bright bag!  I think this tomato red bag by Olivia + Joy does the trick nicely.  Similar here!

Additionally, the collar and sleeves of this Boden shirt are pink and white gingham, which adds a little punch of unexpected color also!  

I hope you have a fantastic weekend!

Bullion Hearts….

A quick post featuring a recent purchase of mine…the Bullion Hearts shirt from JCREW.

I saw this beauty online during JCREW’s last sale.  I must say the shirt exceeded my expectations…I love the size and the fit and the embroidered golden hearts are beautiful.

The shirt is back on sale at JCREW..check it out below!  Also….even though I usually carry Kate Spade bags (I’m obsessed, I know), I found this red Olivia+Joy bag at TJ Maxx and had to have it.  It’s the perfect shade of tomato red!

(Let me apologize for the shirt being wrinkled in the pictures…I took these pics at lunch and was disappointed I’d wrinkled myself during the morning)!

I’ll be on vacation the rest of the week but hope you have a great week and weekend!!

Fall Style…From The Limited

Yesterday was the first day of Fall and I couldn’t be happier!  

I must admit that I prefer tights to bare legs and long sleeves to tank tops.  Blame it on my constant state of cold..even in the warmest settings or just that I love how slimming tights can be under a fitted dress.

Today’s look was long awaited…I recently ordered several Fall-like pieces from The Limited and was extremely happy when I finally received the order and everything fit properly.  One of my fave pieces is the dress I’m wearing in today’s post.  Buy it here and its 30% off!

Tip – if you’re looking for another Fall staple, check out this faux leather fit and flare dress.  I almost bought it…and now regret that I didn’t.  That means I might be making another purchase soon!

I digress…today’s look is comprised of this cute v-neck skater dress from the Limited, my fave Nine West leather boots (similar here), and a beautiful pashmina scarf I received last year as a present (similar here and on sale!).

Hope you enjoy the post!  Start pulling out those scarves and tights..it’s officially Fall!
