4 fresh ways to wear green this march

Image
March has arrived. The month of Mardi Gras, St. Patrick's Day, and the Spring Equinox. The cool weather is still touch-and-go, but Spring so close we can taste it. It's only fitting that we instinctively think to wear green in the month of March. However, it is one of the hardest colors to garb. Kelly green and bright lime being the most challenging. Thankfully I think I have finally cracked the code on going green by starting to think outside the basic 8-pack of Crayola colors. Without further ado - 4 ways to embrace this refreshing shade are: 1 // MINT My love affair with mint began last fall, in conjunction with my love of vintage, and it has only deepened. Mint is light, cool, feminine, and sweet. I love the contrast with neutrals or a simple pair of blue denim. 2 // TEAL All of a sudden, this winter I was completely drawn to teal. Until now it was always a cliche jewel-tone to me, but I've begun to see it in a new and beautiful life. It...

A few months ago, I saw blogger Jacie Duprie post this photo wearing black barrettes & I was instantly in love. So much so, that I went out and bought an old school package of Scunci barrettes from CVS and immediately brought back an old love I hadn't seen since middle school. For about the last decade, I've exclusively used blonde bobbie pins for any hair needs. But I just loved the idea of the black barrettes contrasted against the blonde hair. From there I began to notice an emphasis on hair accessories all over Pinterest and Instagram.  From oversized styles, lucite, and modern pearl styles, to silk scarves, and even headbands. Embrace your inner 10 year old and have a little fun with your hair accessories.

grammys style stars + my new favorite it-girl

I don't know about you but late winter/early spring can feel like a bit of a dud. But I try to focus on all of the good things that come about this time of year: Girl Scout cookies, tax returns, New York Fashion Week, and AWARD SEASON to name a few. I live for some red carpet fashion.  Most recent was the Grammys. Ethereal silver/pink + feathers/ruffles/tulle ruled the red carpet, in my opinion. And it was dreamy. Not to mention, fiercely feminine. See below for the ones that made me do a double-take and applaud from my couch. Additionally, fashion's newest it-girl Lucy Boynton (Bohemian Rhapsody) has been KILLING it lately. See her looks below from The Golden Globes, SAG Awards, Critic's Choice Awards, and a few other premieres. I am obsessed. Her hair, makeup, styling, and those dresses . Her look is incredibly modern with just the right about of whimsy. Also, I might go chop off all my hair ASAP because I am here for the blunt bob. Consider ...
