There's nothing like the feeling of not having to put tights on while getting dressed in the morning because the weather is finally warm enough to do so. I was just telling a friend the other day how happy it makes me that shorts/summer dress weather is here to stay.

On another note, my apologies for the absence of posts as of late. Life has been unexpectedly busy after getting back from my trip so please be patient with me:)

Have a great week. Xo.

I've been on the hunt for a pair of loose yet fitted khaki pants (surprisingly hard to find) and was curious about the fit of the ones I'm wearing today, after seeing them look so good on my fellow petite blogger friend, Kelly from her recent post here. I ordered both the cactus and khaki colored pairs online but ended up returning the latter due to an odd fit where it was too loose on the waist yet fitted around the leg. (Kelly also had similar issues with the navy colored pair). So if you're on the hunt for for a casual pair where it can double as slim fitting pants or a boyfriend fit, I highly recommend these pair from Gap. These comfy pants are definitely coming with me on my trip to Japan this weekend;)

Have a great week. Xo.

Happy Wednesday everyone! Hope you're staying warm--the East coast got slapped majorly with a cold chill yesterday and today. When I got into my car this morning, the temperature read 15 degrees. Crazy. 

I wore this outfit before the chill so on an extra cold day like today, I'd probably wear a sweater on top of the striped blouse for the added warmth. Since I like to layer clothes in the winter time, I took out my old Theory turtleneck to wear underneath the blouse and finished the look with this wool mint blazer from J.Crew. It's hard to find a nice, thicker material blazer that's flattering on you with out it looking too bulky and I think this one fits the bill.

Hope you guys are staying warm in this weather. Xo.

Happy Wednesday! Nothing like a mid morning coffee pick me up to get me through the day. After working 14 hours yesterday, I am exhausted. I'll be running some last minutes holiday errands on my day off by wearing something bright such as my new blazer with a cup of coffee on hand to keep me energized;)

Talk to you soon and thanks SO much for visiting. Xo.

Hi everyone! Over the weekend, this outfit was my go to uniform with the DC area experiencing very mild temperatures. It's simple but adding a hat kind of elevates that simplicity into something a bit more chic, no?;)

Hope your week is going well. Work has been rough and tiring the past couple of days and I am so thankful to have a day off today to get some much needed rest. It's been a whirlwind, past couple of weeks with personal and blog related projects and I can not wait for a little break with the holidays coming up. I have a very exciting (well, to me at least) announcement on Friday that I can't wait to share with you;)

Have a fantastic day. Xo.

Happy Friday everyone! It's rainy and dreary today which is a total change from the weather we had a couple days ago. The weather has finally started to feel like fall with the crisp air but some afternoons are warm enough where you can forgo a jacket and be comfortable in a light sweater. I bought these Zara boyfriend jeans while shopping in Portugal and have been trying to get much wear out of them before the weather turns frigid. I love boyfriend jeans because they give off such a relaxed look that is perfect for running errands, meeting with friends, or walking around the city. 

I'm heading to NYC this weekend with Mandu and company because I have some vacation days to use up, so I'll be staying there until early next week. I'm very much looking forward to eating, museum hopping, shopping, and just relaxing in one of my favorite cities. 

Hope your weekend is filled with fun filled agenda as well. Xo.

I've been wearing these mint pants I bought recently at H&M lately and am having a major lovefest with them. I know that the color mint is huge this season but I didn't realize how versatile they could be until I started experimenting with different pairings. I have another outfit coming up soon that involves these mint pants so please stay tuned=)

Have you jumped on the mint bandwagon too?
