balenciaga blues

The balenciaga arena city bags have been around for years now (I remember desperately wanting one in high school when they came out) and would still love to own one! The bag has definitely become a classic and doesn't look like its going anywhere. It makes a perfect carry everywhere everyday kind of bag. And it seems like the styles and color choices are pretty much endless. It would definitely be hard to choose just one...I love the light one in the first picture but really love the black with rose gold hardware as well. Decisions, decisions...

love day

In case you haven't seen it yet, how cute is the Valentines "party" on the Glitter Guide? Such a cute idea for a girls night in. If I didn't have a bf and therefore a Valentine, I would definitely spend it with some fabulous girlfriends. I mean, they appreciate all the pink, hearts and sparkles more than the guys do anyway! Who's your Valentine?

CHEERS !

not so classic tweed

Its technically still Winter and most people are probably still wearing jackets and coats most days so heres to a little bit of tweed inspiration. I usually think of tweed as something to wear during the Fall or Winter (cooler months) but many of these outfits look like they think otherwise...like tweed and shorts. I also love the tweed with the neon pink pants. I don't think I own anything tweed but I definitely wouldn't mind a classic Chanel tweed jacket to pair with a funky floral dress or some black skinny jeans. How would you wear tweed?

shabby chic

Shabby Chic is the perfect mix of cozy, comfy, girly and glam. The bedding is my very most favorite...the softest cotton and linen. Growing up, my room was "Shabby Chic" and I loved it. And even my first apartment was all white and Shabby Chic inspired. My style quickly changed a few years back when I moved in with my bf and as you can imagine, he's not really a big Shabby Chic fan and all white certainly wasn't going to work with a boy around. Flowers, pink and ruffles aren't really his favorites (crazy, right?). But deep down I still love the comfy cozy feel of a Shabby Chic look and long for a perfectly decorated Shabby Chic cottage!

california cool

No one does the perfectly boho hippie California cool look quite like planet blue. The styling of their lookbooks is always spot on and really inspiring. No shortage of perfect pictures. Now this has put me even more into summer mode...great, we have still got a while to go before then...

not so white winter

I feel like I have pretty much forgotten about Winter and moved right along to Spring (maybe even Summer). But technically its still Winter and will be for almost two more months! SO I might as well embrace the fact that Winter will be here for a little while longer. How about some winter white? Do you incorporate white into your wardrobe year round? I definitely do.
