Zara Skirts

How lovely are these three skirts from Zara ? I love the midi-length of all of them as well as their unique details... the red one's laser-cut, the white one's pleated, and the green one's belted. I've paired them with Zara t-shirts and shoes for different looks.

Jewels

Colorful statement earrings are the focal point when worn with black outfits... add a splash of color and let those jewels shine!

Cozy Cashmere Wraps

Happy Friday! I saw these super-cozy cashmere wraps and loved them. They would be so versatile - I see them paired casually or dressed up as well. You can wear them to run errands, bring them to the beach on windier days, or while staying in at home. These are from Madeleine Thompson and available in classic colors - in either striped or solid. (My fav is  this one !)

Cotton Candy

Recently I've been gravitating towards items that are cotton-candy colored. Think more along the lines of nude, blush, and baby pink tones. They're flirty and feminine and make for chic outfits. Perhaps it's the white snow that is influencing this. (Or that I am really hoping it to be spring already!) Whichever season, these pretty pieces sure will add a bit of glam to your days!

Wallets

Happy Monday! (And President's Day!) Hope you had an amazing Valentine's Day weekend filled with love and joy and happiness and all such great things. To start off the week, here's a compilation of wallets... I view a wallet as an investment piece (you will use it all the time), so choose one that you love both design and functionality wise. For example, do you want a wallet in a classic color with a zip-around continental-style? Or would you rather have a bold-colored wallet with a flip-opening? These are details to think about when picking the perfect wallet. Since there are so many options to choose from, I've categorized several of the ones that have caught my eye. My favs in each section are this , this , this , this , this , and this ... See below for all of the wallets... which one(s) do you like the most? Red Black Printed Neutral Blush Iconic

Valentine's Day

Since Valentine's Day is tomorrow, today's post will be... you guessed it... Valentine's Day-themed. Above are outfits to wear on this special holiday - two daytime looks and two nighttime looks. Daytime: Prints and Neutrals I love this  casual striped t-shirt dress  paired with a mini-bag and lace espadrille flats  as well as this  belted floral shirt-dress paired with a simple crossbody bag and  perforated-detail espadrille wedges . Perfect outfits for a casual V-Day brunch or a shopping trip! Nightime: Bold Red and Black These two outfits: a  lacey long-sleeved dress paired with a small tote and suede sandals (how gorg are the bows behind the heels!) and a  cap-sleeved midi-dress with a classic black tote and mesh-paneled pumps  are ultra-polished looks for a V-Day dinner or night out.

Surrey Living

Once again, I have come across a beautiful property on Wall Street Journal's Real Estate  page. This one is in Surrey, England and is listed at $24,000,000. I was automatically attracted to the symmetry and architectural design of the exterior of the house not to mention the lush greenery. The exterior leans towards being more classic and refined while the interior is modern. The surprise factor of this contrast is what I love most about the house. Take a look at the interior... Magnificent entryway - adore the openness and the spiral staircase... and the glam light fixture Love the floor-to-ceiling windows and curtains... and the wooden accents... swoon... Luxurious amenities and high ceilings So... what do you think? Love it or not? For more info and images, see here . Images: WSJ, Savills, Javier Espinoza

Which Shoes?

My latest obsession is a pair of pumps with ankle straps and/or t-straps. They are so glamorous and chic. I found these two above ( nude patent , black suede ) and had a dress in mind for both of them. Before I reveal the dress (don't scroll down just yet!), which shoes are your favorite? I'm loving the wraparound ankle-strap and peep-toe on the nude patent pump and the dainty bows and pointy-toe on the black suede pump. I'm already having difficulty choosing which one I favor more! Now here's the dress ... A green and lacy gown with a cinched waist. How gorgeous is the neckline, the bow detailing, and the overall structure of the dress? Which of the two shoes would you pair this dress with?
