Fashion Friday: Oh Zara!

Zara's new online store has been killing me. I purchased these babies on the day that the store actually opened and I have not regretted it one bit.

Unfortunately, these beauties will have to wait to be worn since there is still snow on the ground where I live. But I can't wait to wear them with flirty floral dresses, rolled up khakis, and skater skirts! I love that their three-inch heel makes them comfortable enough for work, but the studs make them different enough to not be your regular black pumps. LOVE!

Zara has me hooked. Expect more Zara love in the future.

Happy Friday!

Fashion Friday: The Trench

My spring closet this year was in need of one major element: the trench coat. When I saw this beauty at H&M for 50% off, I jumped at the chance of owning a fitted, yet classic trench.

Necklace - Silpada // Trench - H&M // Dress - Old Navy // Tights - H&M // Boots - Aldo (old) // Bag - Rebecca Minkoff Mini-MAC bag

I love the detailing on the back and the piping! In case you're interested, but aren't digging the beige look, there's also a navy version in store!

Thanks to my coworker Kate for taking the pictures! Kate is also a blogger and has an amazing fashion blog called O My Heart!. Who knew my coworker would end up being a blogger as well! How awesome is that?!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Fashion Friday Post: The two-toned shoe need!

Something I'm really looking forward to this spring, is the two toned shoe, and more specifically, in black and white/nude colors.This trend suits my style perfectly and would go great with pretty much anything in my wardrobe! Here are my favorite picks, in pyramid format, for fun:

From top to bottom: J Crew Etta Cap Toe Leather Pump, J Crew Everly Cap Toe Pumps, Aldo Heliette Heels, Steven Fearless Captoe Pumps, Pour La Victoire Colettea Pumps, Kary Pointed-toe pump.

Some of these are affordable, some of them (AKA, J Crew) are much less affordable. The most drool-worthy are the gorgeous and strappy Pour La Victoire heels. If money was no object, they would be mine in a heartbeat! The Aldo ones will hopefully be mine sometime this spring, preferably when they are on sale, because that's how I do it! 

Have a great weekend peeps! I will hopefully have a really relaxing weekend, because my achy body is telling me I really need it!

Another small little thing in life: Introducing Fashion Friday!

I thought it might be fun to change things up a little bit on the blog and start a new series! Fashion Friday will only happen on Friday (duh!) and feature something I wore during the week that I've especially enjoyed. It's not something I talk a lot about on here, but I love fashion. You'll get to see some of my favorite items of clothing, from my favorite stores!

Necklace - Silpada // Ring - Magnolia // Sweater - Gap (still available here) // Peacoat - Gap Factory // Jeans - Paige Denim (Ebay find) // Boots - Aldo // Nail Polish - Essie Mint Candy Apple // Lipstick - Revlon Lip Butter  Cherry Tart

After typing this up, I've come to realize that the necklace, ring AND boots are all gifts from the boy! He can't say I don't get use out of these items - I wear them all pretty much every day! Also, that Gap sweater is amazing - 100% cotton comfort. No scratchy wool here! Plus, I can totally see this carried out into spring with skimmer pants, or into summer with shorts. I know this baby will get so much use! 

Have a great weekend gals!
