Hey guys!

I know I've been gone for a couple of months and so much has happened since my last post. I don't want to get into too much detail but I accepted a great job at a great company and I could not be happier with where I am right now. It's 2018, it's a new year, and tbh I would like it to be a new me but I'm same old same old. Still trying to live my life, survive the frigid winters in New England, and travel as much as possible.

If you've followed my blog for a while, you know I've been wearing Warby Parker glasses for a couple of years now and I love them. My current glasses are a cute round pair in a darkish blue, which is fun and surprisingly unique at least in my personal circle of friends/coworkers.

But I've been toying with the idea of changing up my Harry Potter vibes and going for something lighter/warmer toned. And if you're like me and just need a little something different this year, you definitely need to check out Warby Parker's Spring 2018 Collection (which coincidentally ahem launched today). Click here if you want to shop and search for styles.

For those of you who are new to Warby Parker, they're basically an eyewear company that aims to provide affordable glasses in a fun and convenient way. If you aren't situated near a physical store like I am, you can pick out several glasses on their website and they'll ship it to you to try for free. Easy peasy.


SPRING 2018
A little more on the Spring Collection:

The glasses in this collection definitely look a lot lighter and warmer, with some pops of bold blues. You'll see a lot of clear glasses (I know so many people who are currently rocking them) as well as a few punches of tortoise accents here and there. I do have a few personal faves, which I'll share in a bit but here's a couple of pictures in case you are interested in ones that I'm not styling today.


~~~~~~~~
As a celebration of my brief return to blogging, I wanted this to be a special post and bring together my love for styling and my love for this brand in an awesome way. So below, you'll find a couple of outfits I've styled inspired by these new specs in the collection...as always, let me know which one was your favorite!

Warby Parker Spring 2018

Meet Nora.
She's chill, she's casual, she's comfortable. She likes looking put-together, maybe even a little edgy. She has a big personality and definitely has a lot of quirks but you know her and love her.

These glasses, to me, are so far from a traditional look. The color is bold but not in your face. They're really sleek but the warmth from the tortoise makes them perfect for everyday wear. I decided to pair them with an outfit that is great for Spring when it's still cold but starting to transition to warmer months. I went with staples like a fitted striped dress and a leather jacket but added some spice with the pin and the lighter blue color. It's casual done in the most elevated way.

Meet Louise.
She's the most fashionable girl you know. She's the first to pick up on trends and isn't afraid to experiment. Her style is a mix between retro and modern.

These specs have an interesting color combo and I definitely wanted to play off that unique vibe to create this outfit that features bold colors. The mustard with the teal with the forest green is definitely a little out of the box but it works. For Spring, loafers/slides are a key piece even in my wardrobe. And you can never go wrong with a chunky sweater.



Hughes

Meet Hughes.
He's a classic, guy-next-door type of guy. He likes his simple brown leather wallets, his sweater-over-button-up combos, and a nice clean shave. He drinks coffee that he makes at home. He believes in good quality and he knows it when he sees it.

The final pair of glasses that I picked out to style are these clear frames. I think the rectangular shape is a little more on the classic side as opposed to round glasses which can often look playful and slightly more modern. The clear aspect of it though does make it more updated and even though Hughes prefers the simple classics, I can see these glasses being his one fun accessory.

~~~~~~~~

I hope you guys enjoyed this. It was so much fun for me to do, especially since I haven't been styling clothes in a while (I currently style home decor stuff which is equally exciting but def different for me). Leave it below or tweet me, which (or should I say who) was your fave??

Stay warm, guys!

Pantone's 2014 Color of The Year, as I'm sure you all know by now, is Radiant Orchid.

According to Pantone..."Radiant Orchid blooms with confidence and magical warmth that intrigues the eye and sparks the imagination. It is an expressive, creative and embracing purple—one that draws you in with its beguiling charm. A captivating harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid emanates great joy, love and health."

If you aren't the type of person to wear a lot of color (anyone else totally guilty of living in black clothing for the winter...?), now is the time to bust out a little something something for your outfits. Spring is fast approaching, or so we New Englanders like to hope, and everyone is pining for something to rejuvenate their dull wardrobe.

Let me show you how to wear Radiant Orchid, whether you love wearing bright colors or refuse to wear anything that isn't monotone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Radiant Orchid

LOOK #1
Going Out With The Girls

Black is such a safe color to wear when you want to look put together but also dressy. Wear a flowy cropped tank top with high-waisted jeans or pants and strappy heels for the perfect outfit to get your groove on! Incorporate a bit of Radiant Orchid with your accessories, whether it be studs for a subtle touch or a small crossbody bag to break up the black.

It'll give your outfit a little more interest and on the bright side, you'll be able to spot your bag easily if you leave it somewhere!


LOOK #2
Lunch, Brunch, Dinner Date

A striped top is an essential. Skater or circle skirts have been in trend for a while now and pair well with fitted tops to give the illusion of an hourglass figure. Go for a cropped version for a more springtime appropriate look and choose a skirt that is bold in color. The Radiant Orchid color will speak for itself and the brightness of the color will lift the entire tone of the outfit. It's a wonderful alternative to the showstopper red that most people would consider a "sexy" or "attractive" color if you plan on wearing this on a date.

Tie in the color of your skirt with a necklace and keep the outfit balanced with some nude heels (they'll lengthen your legs, too. bonus!). If you really aren't feeling the colored skirt, pair the top with a black skirt and opt for a bright lipstick instead. It'll instantly brighten up the face.


LOOK #3
Frolicking in the Fields

Whether you plan on going shopping or having a picnic, this outfit is great for casual activities. Overalls have been making a comeback in the form of skirts and shorts. Go for a lighter wash denim to contrast with a bold colored top. The graphic tee I chose is fitted and cropped, to maintain the figure against the looser silhouette of the overalls. Graphic tees are fun and easy to wear. Depending on the graphic, it can be a great way to showcase your personal style and be a conversation starter!

Don't like how crazy the print is? No problem. This will look just as good with a white tee. Try a bold nail polish color to add a bit of color to the outfit. If you just aren't a fan of the brightness of the Radiant Orchid color, try a lighter tone of purple in your accessories or your shoes. Canvas sneakers are an easy way to incorporate color to an outfit (and they're wicked comfy!).


I hope these tips were helpful and you can use them as a general guide to wearing any kind of color. Happy styling!

Nope. Not a post about anything related to romance (harhar). Just a lame play on words to introduce you to a fall wishlist! or random "I feel like showing everyone what I want to buy but can't afford" list!

Before I start, I just want to genuinely apologize for not writing a new post in 10 days. It seems unbearably bizarre, compared to how often I updated over the summer. But, I had a bit of spare time today so I thought I'd do a simple wishlist post, in honor of it being my birthday this Saturday.

Can I get a woowoot?

Let me know down below what you're pining for this week!

Dragonfly Cuff

Public Display Dress

Gorilla Skater Dress

Suede Crystal Brogues

Printed Silk Blouse

Shell Collar Necklace

Barb Wire Bracelet

Insight Colab Cable Crew

Spare The Drama Dress

HOOPLAH. You made it to the end. Yay.

Let me know stuff about your life. Your wishlist must have item. Your favorite fruit. Anything and everything! :)

Need Supply Co. is actually a website that I discovered just recently and I'm gutted that it hasn't been in my life sooner.

If I had to compare, I would say it has a Zara feel to it? Maybe mixed with a bit of Nastygal. So if you like shopping at those places, then this might be a fun site to browse around! (I certainly spent a good chunk of time window shopping...but, then again, when don't I??)

Do you guys like wishlist posts? Let me know down below because I have no idea if these are boring or not but maybe it'll inspire you enough to spend money? Just kidding :) or not.

Personally, I love picture-ridden posts because I'm such a visual person and seeing the actual product brings it to life more than if I just sat here describing in detail the specks of pony hair on a pair of shoes and the straight cut of a jacket.

Though, ironically, the amount of rambling and lengthy descriptions I forget to spare you all of far surpasses the amount of things I say in person and in real life. Here, I can write as much as I want to about stuff that I like and take my time to analyze what I want to say.

TANGENTS.

It's endless.

So tell me your thoughts! Have a gander around the site and leave a comment about what would be on your wishlist. or which of the above you'd like to own. or just leave me a comment to say hi. :)
