today’s closetcast: crisp and clean

Finally an outfit post! I know I’ve been out of the loop for a week or so, but I’m back! Shot these shots this morning on my way out the door. I have been obsessed with neoprene material in clothing for a couple years now. I just love how structured and crisp the fabric looks. Picked this top up at asos a few months ago and I just love the bright white color and oversized, boxy fit. These Tabitha Simmons heels were a bargain find at Barneys. Purchased for a fraction of the full price, I felt like these were definitely meant to be. Don’t you just love when that happens!?

XO…

Prep

today’s closetcast: new in

Just received these fun and gorgeous cow printed pumps from Jennie Ellen in Sweden. Aren’t they great? They are so comfortable too! I thought I’d mix it up by pairing these with these tartan plaid pants from Zara (old – last season). I am easing my way back into wearing pumps on a regular basis – it used to be all I wore, but with a little baby it seems a bit more impractical. I could NEVER give them up for good – especially when there are pumps like these out there! What do you guys think of these pumps? How would you wear them?

XO!

today’s closetcast: bundled up

Shoemint recently did a collaboration with blogger Jane Aldridge of Sea of Shoes and these awesome booties were the result! I swooped up on them quick – they sold out in a flash! They are a great addition to the shoes I have on constant rotation and I’m excited to incorporate them into some fall-winter looks!

The jeans are ages old, I bought them in Japan at La Foret, a 8 story one-stop shop for all Japanese brands! It’s a sort of amazing place where you can wander aimlessly and find something great at every turn.

What do you guys think of this look?

today’s closetcast: the essentials

Sometimes all you need is a great fitting blazer, an “essential” handbag, a funky pair of brogues, and a dash of gold. Am I right?

While my wardrobe has simplified somewhat significantly since having a baby – I have always been drawn to the basics. I think it’s more of a challenge to make the pieces that you feel the most comfortable look chic. But comfort, sometimes, is the mood of the day.

J. Brand jeans are my go-to jean, I have quite a few pairs but always reach for these. They are worn in at the knees a bit and have just the right amount of stretch. The blazer is my mom’s from more than thirty years ago – vintage. It’s a traditional schoolboy blazer. The brogues were an impulse buy from H&M. The bag is my most favorite bag. I picked it up from Moda Operandi and it’s by designer Clare Vivier based out of Los Angeles. Just bought another clutch from her which I can’t wait to feature on the blog!!

As I Go Along

today’s closetcast: like myself

It’s been a long time since I have done an outfit post – I apologize. It’s been a crazy few months. Going from a big belly to a beautiful baby taking its place – it’s been a whirlwind!

I picked up these Zara shorts when I was still pregnant and unable to fit in them. The Alexander Wang Anjelika heels are a pair of those gorgeous nude and neutral heels that you can just wear with everything. Plus they give my legs that length that I love – perfect with a pair of high-waisted shorts that add length already. The purse is a beauty by Clare Vivier, one of my favorites ever, and is personalized via a custom design from Moda Operandi.

What are you guys getting into this weekend? XO
