The Trend Transition

Bracelet: J Crew | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff | Lippie: Stila Poppy

I don't know about you, but I am so ready for the weekend! I have also been super ready for a splash of inspiration for outfits lately. Who would have thought that splash would come from a new lip product obsession? These Stila lip laquers are serious perfection! I have never found a lip product that produced so much shine and color payoff in one. The shade I'm wearing is called Poppy and it truly is my new favorite color. 

The top and blazer have been in my closet for a while, and when I was perusing my closet I pulled them out thinking: match made in heaven! Black and white is one of my all time favorite color combos and the poppy red gave some extra umph! 

Bringing old and new together to help spin old pieces in my closet is a major priority of mine right now and I'm glad to be off to a great start! How are you guys giving your tried and trues a fresh take in 2014? 

Have a blessed weekend and thank you for reading! 

Uniform

Sweater: J Crew Factory/ Pants: J Crew/ Necklace: L Mae Boutique, sold out/ 

Bag: Louis Vuitton/ Boots: Lacoste via 6pm/ Watch: Michael Kors/ 

Bracelet: J Crew/ Headband: J Crew/ Lippie: Stila laquer in Poppy (new fave)

Everyone has a uniform: that go-to outfit that never fails... Mine just happens to be a cozy sweater, boots, and my pixie pants. I have each in several colors to make getting ready on-the-go a cinch. This sweater is one of my favorites. It's more of an open knit, but so incredibly warm. 

The boots were a recent splurge. I had told myself that I didn't need another pair of boots this year, but when I completely tore the leather on my best black boots I knew I couldn't make it through winter without a replacement. I found these on 6 pm and was surprised when I saw the brand as I didn't realize Lacoste also makes footwear. I was so happy when I got them and realized how great the leather is! Not to mention that they are super comfy! Definitely a great find! 

The weather here has been so cold that taking these pictures was very difficult. We made it above freezing, but I still felt like an ice cube. It's predicted to be much warmer through next week and I couldn't be more grateful. 

Have a great day and thanks so much for reading!
