Fuchsia Floral

Happy Monday!

Punchy bright florals and white denim, spring is in full bloom. When I wear something feminine, I feel the need to accent with structure. My fatigue vest (as my friends can attest) has become a go to for me lately. The army inspired layer adds the right dose of cool to a super girly tie blouse.

Shorts and Shiny Shoes

Hello! Happy Thursday!

The oxford shoe is a lot like the boyfriend jean. They are both menswear inspired, many people are hesitant to try them, and once you own a pair... you wonder how your closet once existed without them. These shoes are so comfortable and fun, and can be worn with anything you would normally wear with a ballet flat. I love options :)

Color Block

 Happy Tuesday! 

I love that two unexpected colors can come together to make office appropriate silhouettes feel fresh and vibrant. When it comes to color, I have little to no fear. Sometimes it pays off, and other times, well.. it doesn't. (I am getting flashbacks to painting my bathroom bubblegum pink when I was 14). So don't be afraid to test the waters when it comes to color, at best you find a new lease on your closet, and at worst you have to repaint a wall :)

Long Live Lilly!

Hello Everyone,

I am sad to report that fashion designer, icon, and Palm Beach socialite Lilly Mckim Pulitzer passed away today at the age of 81.  Lilly Pulitzer certainly has served as an inspiration to me and I wanted to honor her memory, as well as her impeccable taste. Long live the Queen of Pink and Green!

Rainy Day Dots

Hello Everyone!

The saying goes that April showers bring May flowers. Well there should be a lot of flowers in Oxford next month, because the rain continues to fall. Rainy days shouldn't dampen your style. I mean come on, who doesn't love splashing around in their rain boots? 

Another thing that always puts me in a sunny mood when the actual sky is cloudy is a bright orange lip. This lip color Jenna by Bobbi Brown was inspired by the famous J.Crew President and creative director Jenna Lyons. In an interview with the Huffington Post, Jenna said that there is just something she loves about an orangey red lip that has more yellow undertones than blue... and I couldn't agree more.

The weekend is almost here! I hope it is a great one!

Color vs. Metallic... Spring Shoe Showdown

1  / 2  / 3 /  4 / 5 / 6

I have fully embraced the metallic shoe trend. Gold, silver, and rose gold... I love them all. But in the midst of my usual online shopping, I find myself thinking that I may need a little color in my life, well at least color at my feet. This brings me to the spring shoe showdown. Which is your favorite trend this season?

A Little Sparkle

Hello Everyone! 

The first sunny and mild day of spring has arrived! And seeing how it is now April I would say it is about time. The only thing that is more comfortable than the warmer weather are boyfriend jeans. If you have been reluctant to try a pair, trust me...putting on a skinny jean feels like leg prison compared to these babies. And if you are super girly like I am, I recommend juxtaposing the more androgynous distressed bottoms with ladylike pieces. And in my opinion, nothing says ladylike better than a jeweled collar, a structured bag, pearls and pointy pumps.

Thanks for reading!
