Love Cross Body

Skirt: ASOS // Crop Top: Express // Necklace: eBay // Earrings: J. Crew // Shoes: Nine West // Lips: NYX Bloody Mary // Sunglasses: Forever 21 // Bag c/o Shopbop: Rebecca Minkoff Love Cross Body

I know it's getting warmer out but don't let these pictures fool you. They are actually from a friends wedding at Old Saint Pat's church back in October. It was a gorgeous warm day, much like what I'm hoping we will see more of soon. 

This Rebecca Minkoff "Love" cross body has been an easy favorite in the past few months. It adds tons of class to even the most basic of outfits. And it is quite the ringer for a Chanel bag, but at a much more affordable price point. I made sure to get it in a neutral color so It would remain a classic over the years. I think it would be a great addition in any color to any handbag collection. This smoke shade is my new favorite. Check out all the colors available here!

I don't know how your brain works, but when mine hears SALE, I tend to think, what expensive item have I had on the back-burner but didn't want to pay full price for?  The answer is always a quality hand bag. Whether  it's a great tote for work, a cute little crossbody (you all know and love my quilted Minkoff) or an awesome backback that will get tons of use during the summer, it's always my number-one choice for a splurge.

Not too often do all my favorite handbag lines go on sale, but you can get them all starting today at 25% off with code SPRING25 at SHOPBOP's big Friends and Family Sale . If I were you, I'd let the splurging begin NOW!

Maggie Daley Skating Ribbon

Sweater: Joe Fresh // Faux-fur Shawl: Boohoo // Skirt: Loft // Hat: Old Navy // Boots: DSW // Bag c/o Shopbop: Rebecca Minkoff MAB tote

This weekend I had a chance to go back to the Maggie Daley Park when it wasn't as cold as it was in this visit. My husband had seen in so many times while out on a run and wanted me to see it. We took outfit pictures, but then I was too cold to enjoy it.

This weekend the weather was so much better and I got a better chance to explore. I can't wait to go back here in summer with my niece and nephew when it can really be enjoyed.

Have you been? And have you tried that crazy steep slide? I'm too scared to try it for many reasons. More power to you if you have gone on it though.

Fuzzy Cardigan

Sweater: JC Penny (similar under $23) // Dress: H&M (super similar for $45) // Necklace: Topshop (similar here) // Bag: Nordstrom BP  // Booties: Shoemint (similar) // Tights: Wade and Belle

I almost got rid of this black shift dress but something made me keep it. Turns out that was a great idea considering how easy it is to style year round. The 3/4 length sleeves make it a versatile piece and a wardrobe staple. 

This just goes to show I get rid of way too much of my stuff. I have a bit of a problem wearing things 2 or 3 times, and then tiring of them. With this problem of mine, you just might gain. I'm selling my very gently worn (and sometimes even new with tags) clothes and accessories on eBay. Check out the goods here!

LOFT Flippy Skirt with OTK Boots

Skirt: LOFT // Sweater: Target (bogo 50% off all women's clothing) // OTK boots: Chinese Laundry // Faux-Fur Stole: Boohoo // Bag: Mad Style // Necklace: J. Crew

I'm a huge fan of LOFT and their Flippy skirt. It's the only short skirt that I own that doesn't make me feel too scandalous. It's also a super comfy and fun shape. I have to tell you that I own 3 now, and they are perfect for work with tights and boots or flats when this stinkin' cold finally goes away for good.
