dream travel by glitterandtea featuring j crew jewelry

this is a perfect (and dream) travel outfit. a lightweight sweater that's not frumpy (jcrew), loose comfy jeans (paige denim) a cashmere scarf because planes in my opinion are always chilly and perforated flats that are easy to slep on and off at security.

now that purse. that is my real dream. I feel like I could wear it the rest of my life and I would probably have to given the price tag but wow perfect.

maybe I was a ballerina in a former life but I love neutrals, blushes, and baby pink. that;s probably half my closet. the other half is black sweaters ha!

mk&a day

 

I have to start out with the top image. Birkenstocks with socks? Honestly, I love it. MK&A have always done their own thing regardless if it's considered a fashion "no-no". Plus, it's quite practical for airport security, no?

 

Now for MK's bundled up look. It's still chilly in MN so excuse my excuse to post a coat. Love the slim silhouette, aviators and pulled back hair.

 

Before we say goodbye, do take note of the vintage Cartier engagement ring peeking out of the oversized sleeve.

spring nails

I'm behind in announcing that orchid was the Pantone color of the year for 2014. Ahem, excuse me I mean *radiant* orchid. I decided to get in on the radiance with my nail color. It's perfect and fun for spring even if the weather doesn't match yet. 

 This is maybelline lusty lilac. I love the shade but the nail polish itself was not fun to apply. Let's just say it doesn't coat well. Note it's a bit deeper in person. 

cushnie et ochs

i'll be honest: i've never heard about this designing duo but i like their simple silhouettes and cut-outs. my 3 favorites below. flowy white maxi, scalloped edges & the leather skirt!

thick and chunky

a thick white sweater is perfect to take your summer skinny jeans (mint, polka dot, etc) into fall. accesorize with a metal or brown leather watch & a scarf and you're good to go. the possibilites are really endless.

color of the moment

burgundy invaded fall like napoleon. when it comes to trends, i never invest in too many things at once. like summer (remember neon?) they'll be gone before you know it. pick something you can see yourself wearing long after the leafs have fallen. examples:

great bag! the color is deep enough to wear well into winter.

if you're a little more adventurous, go for a statement piece like these skinny jeans. just don't overdo the rest of the outfit and stick to neutrals.
