I bought this top last year from SINGER22 and I wasn't sure if I really loved it because I'm not that big of an animal print person, however - after pairing it casually with these easy Joie pants, I kind of loved how it laid on me with the outfit. It's crazy how you can find pieces that you feel like you wouldn't wear and make it work with your wardrobe. Sometimes it's not even about the actual pieces but about how you wear them and style them. We did a little side part in my hair as well, definitely a new look for me.

Before I went away in December I went on a serious hunt for all things sequins. I really wanted to ring in the New Year with a sequin piece, but I made the most foolish mistake of all mistakes. I purchased with out trying on. What I was thinking, I do not know. However, after months of not touching it and wishing I kept the tag on - I decided to give it another go and for some reason I loved it. It could have been the winter blah mode I was in that made me not so into it, but now it's one of the pieces in my closet I'm most excited to wear this summer. This all could just be part of my Gemini persona.

This summer I am most excited for my new bathing suit collection. I invested in a lot of nude and white bikinis. I love the skin tone bikini, I think it's beyond sexy and looks incredible with a tan, plus it looks good under neath almost anything.

I bought this bikini the other day at American Apparel, it's definitely being packed for Memorial Day weekend in the Hamptons. I can't believe it's summer! Which bikini are you most excited to rock?

I am so so so in love with this trench coat. I have been looking everywhere for the perfect trench this season and Rebecca Minkoff swept me off my feet. The feminine subtle pleating, the leather trimming, it is such a special piece that makes almost any outfit look effortlessly cool.

I threw together my staple every day American Apparel tank top and an old poofy skirt purchased on a bored Forever21 visit. I always seem to find the best things when I'm not looking for them.

Have a great weekend!x

Apparently this is an all Topshop look minus the skirt which I didn't even realize until right this second. Big fan of these Mary Jane booties that I bought there about a year and a half ago. I love the bulky rounded heel on it. I liked the contrast between the chunky shoe and feminine skirt with the edgy jacket. The mixture worked somehow yet was so unexpected. I went to Topshop last week and bought a bunch of staple t-shirts and tanks, this being one of them. I loved the idea of pairing a loose pajama like tank with this feminine and flowy skirt. Once it stops raining in NYC, the skirts are coming out full time.

I shot this dress a while back when I first started my blog. It's such a great piece that I just dug up and decided to make it a staple floral piece for the summer. I paired it with my Aldo Rise pumps that I am obsessed with, especially since they have an ankle strap. Shooting a few pieces today including my Citizens of Humanity 90's grunge jeans. I wear them almost every day, gross I know, but they are like sweatpants. I'm excited to show you guys how I would style them since they are so out of the norm for what's trendy right now.

Loved the pop of neon in this Rebecca Minkoff sweater. Thought it would be a cute pairing with my floral grey and blue muted mini shorts. I love putting my ACNE shoes with outfits that it wouldn't normally seem right with. They always make an outfit more fun, plus they are a easy to walk in believe it or not.

Of course had to throw in a puppy picture. :)

I mentioned in an earlier post that this weekend I did a little summer shopping. I picked up these shorts as a classic go to piece for this summer that can be worn with anything. I can dress them up or down like in this post with a t-shirt and heels. They fit perfectly and look so great with a button down or a sexier top for going out. However, a t-shirt and shorts is my favorite look, the casual one...but with heels. No effort and looking cute. That's definitely my mantra for the weekend.

I had to name this post Michaela Dylan after my little sister considering everything I am wearing is hers (minus the shoes). She gave me this floral jumper last week that I am more than obsessed with, and the white leather jacket I sort of claimed my own about a year ago. I wear it with almost everything during this transitional season. I love the way the floral jumper lays on me, the bottom fits perfectly over my pumps and the pockets are super cozy. This is definitely one of my most favorite looks for the Spring.

I decided to do a little post on my outfit I wore to the Rebecca Minkoff event on Friday night at WiNkNYC. It is one of my favorite looks to date because it's a short suit. I love the Aztec print with the pop of neon yellow. Another amazing feature are the short pockets and the white short sleeve button down blouse. I love a short sleeve button down. It's nerdy chic. I completed the look with my lace and ruffle Chanel booties I love so much.

Did a little shopping today, you know the quick usual: Zara, H&M, American Apparel etc. I needed to get my fix for the month since I really feel like I haven't purchased anything in the longest time. I'm totally in summer mode because all I bought were mini shorts, tank tops, and sandals. These mini lace shorts and heels are from Zara. Loved the color of both and loved them together. After my shopping I did my spring cleaning and found this gold sheer button down that I haven't worn in forever. It looked perfect tucked into the shorts. Mind you it was 50 degrees while shooting this outfit, the things I do for this blog!...

Had to quickly post these hot pink mini denim shorts by Paige. Definitely going to be a personal fave this summer. Plus they are neon, with a tan - you can't go wrong!

This has been a favorite piece in my closet for a long time. I remember shooting this dress on Mott street about two years ago. It's always nice to come back to the pieces you cherish most and that you haven't worn in a while. It's such a pretty, feminine, and casual floor length dress that has the perfect floral designs and the perfect element of comfort. I can't wait to casually hang out in the Hamptons in this classic piece. Summer, hurry up!

Loving my new Aldo Rise pumps. I haven't worn any other shoes since I got them. Not only are they beyond comfortable, but they have an ankle strap. My favorite, I think it is the most flattering style. I paired it with my simple high waist Goldsign jeans that cuff at the bottom. Great pump for summer, can't want to see it with shorts or a skirt.

I've been pairing these colors together a lot recently. Different shades of blues, teals, turquoise. I think it's because I've been so inspired ever since I got these ACNE platforms. It's amazing how an outfit like this could also be one of the comfiest that I'd actually lounge around in. It's for sure a transitional look.
Also, my Alexa Leigh necklace is glued on to me, no joke. Worn with pajamas, black tie events, or a night out, I really have no good reason to take it off. If ever want to change it up all I have to do is turn it around to the other side and I have a completely different charm on the back.
Is anyone impressed by the fishtail Jane created out of my hair? Also is anyone else infatuated with the book 50 shades of grey? I almost missed my subway stop while intensely reading chapter 9 yesterday..

Got really inspired when Jane and I paid a visit to the Free People on 5th. Jane was shopping for Coachella and we came across this beyond adorable daisy head piece. I really want headpieces to fully come back. I want it to be ok to wear to work with out everyone asking why flowers are on my head and it's not halloween. I paired it with this ethereal lace maxi dress and my rose gold Alexa Leigh necklace. Perfect summer outfit.

Very casual look, for the days that I really have zero energy to put on any sort of heel or tight pant. My boyfriends mom bought a ton of stuff for me from Free People the other week and I'm officially a new fan. Everything they sell at that store is what you'd want to wear out AND sleep in. Including these ginormous jeans. When I say jeans, I mean 'sweat pant material like' jeans. I could wear them all year round. Highly insist on making a trip to your nearest Free People.

Dress I bought at a vintage store a few years ago left pretty simple because I am in love with the shape and length. I paired it with my Steve Madden boots that I'm living in until it's officially warm weather. It will be difficult to put these guys away. But how cute is my little puppy?!!!
