Hello Everyone! It is that time of year again: fashion limbo. Designer resort collections are filling the stores, and the Spring lines are on the horizon. Yet, for those of us who are not jetting off to a tropical destination, it is the dead of winter. I must admit it is hard to restrain buying that new bikini, or cute coverup when I will not be able to wear it for months. But I guess there is nothing wrong with a little vacation daydreaming (or Spring Break pre-planning)! And there is always nail polish and jewelry... which works even though it is 30 degrees outside. Have a great rest of the week and thank you for reading!   

Downtown Safari

Bracelets: c/o Bourbon and Boweties // Coat: Topshop (similar here and love, love this one here) // Leather Jacket: Zara (similar here) // Chambray: Madewell // Jeans: JBrand (similar here) // Shoes: Steven by Steve Madden (similar here) // Bag: Forever 21 (Similar here)// Watch: Michael Kors // Sunnies: RayBan // Nail Polish: Deborah Lippmann 'Don't Tell Mama" // Ring: David Yurman // Lips: Revlon Kissable Balm Stain in 'Rendezvous'

Happy Monday everyone! In the South, the downtown square is mostly quiet and nowhere near as "wild" as the epicenter of a big city. However, unlike their surroundings, Southern girls are anything but quiet... and they are definitely not afraid of a loud animal print or a healthy dose of jewelry. With that being said I am so pleased to share with all of you Bourbon and Boweties, a jewelry brand straight out of my home state of Florida.

  Bourbon and Boweties are handmade stackable statement bangles adorned with everything from natural stones to faceted baubles. They are perfect to wear alone or to supplement a tried and true bracelet stack. I have to say, I am little addicted to them already...  I love how they look layered with my watch. Check out their Facebook page here for more information. Have a great week and thank you as always for reading!

Dark Prep

 Skirt: Tibi (similar and less expensive here) // Shirt: J.Crew  (On Sale)// Sweater: Outnet // Socks: American Apparel // Coat: J.Crew (on sale) // Shoes: Vince Camuto // Bag: Forever 21 (old but similar here on sale) // / Bracelets: J.Crew and David Yurman // Ring: David Yurman // Watch: Michael Kors // Sunnies: Karen Walker

 In my most natural form of personal style, I am a prep. However, being preppy is not what it used to be with pearls, cardigan sets, and penny loafers. Preppy style can be modern and chic simply by finding traditional pieces with unexpected details. A leather pleated skirt, a jeweled collar on a white button down, and a bright peacoat lend a fashion forward perspective to silhouettes that have stood the test of time. I hope everyone has a great rest of their week, stay warm, and thank you for reading!

Shades of Blue

 Coat: J.Crew // Dress: Tibi (also here) // Shoes: J.Crew (on sale now!)  // Earrings: J.Crew // Sunnies: Karen Walker // Lips: Nars Mexican Rose

Bright blue, navy and cream make for one of my favorite color palettes. The cool and fresh tones are a great transition from winter to the coming spring months. This blue dress with it's modern lines and structured "techy" fabric feels perfectly suited for a new year. This was obviously in Florida, because now that I am back in Oxford, I don't believe I will be able to wear a dress without tights for a while. I hope everyone is staying warm with this arctic weather crossing the nation. Thank you for reading!

Rainy Casual

Shirt: Forever 21 (sold out, similar here) // Chambray (underneath): Madewell // Jeans: Gap (old similar here) // Boots: Hunter // Bag: Celine // Sunnies: Ray Ban // Necklace: J.Crew (similar and less expensive here) // Ring: David Yurman Nails: OPI 'Big Apple Red' // Lips: NARS 'Dragon Girl'

 With the holiday season officially in the rear view mirror I am enjoying some relaxing time before I head back to school. The first couple days of 2014 have been filled with a steady rain here in Florida, so I took the opportunity to test out the new red Hunters Santa brought me. Even though the humidity and rain are persistent, I am enjoying the warmth and being able to walk outside without a coat before I return to the cold. Happy New Year and thank you for reading!

 Hello Everyone and happy Saturday. It has been a crazy and wonderful week! I hope everyone had a great Christmas holiday with their friends and family. Since I have been home for Christmas I have raided my mother's furs and found this little cream-colored gem. Beautiful fur never goes out of style, but for a modern twist, I added my leather leggings, stripes and moto-boots. It is kind of fun to go into the New Year wearing something great from years past. Thanks for reading and happy New Year!
