Clover Canyon Dress

Dress: Clover Canyon c/o Shopbop // Shoes: Topshop // Bag: Zara (love this red one) // Lips: YSL Glossy Stain  // Sunglasses: Forever 21 (old)

Sometimes a dress makes you want to sing Shakira songs and spin around, and that is exactly what this Clover Canyon dress made me feel like doing.  It's a little outside my normal choice of dress, but i just love the off-the-shoulder trend so much I decided to take a chance on it. This is the perfect breezy summer dress to match my much more laid back than usual summer personality.

Hot Pink Ray-Bans

Shoes: Nike //  Jeans: Rag and Bone c/o Shopbop // Sweater: Forever21 // Sunglasses: Ray-ban c/o Shopbop

One of the best parts about having holidays off from school is getting to hang out with my blogger pals who are free during the weekdays leaving us time to brunch, catch up, and shoot in fun indoor locations. This time Lauren, Arin and I got some smoothies and then head over to the Greek Museum to shoot some outfit pics. Not a bad way to spend a cold Monday.

As for the main course of this outfit, you can see I finally bit the bullet and got these perfectly "me" hot pink Ray Bans from Shopbop. I knew they were meant to be from the moment I laid my eyes on them and am so glad they are mine. They also come in a few other colors, so if pink ain't your thang, there surely is a pair for you.

Let's Talk About Boots, Baby

Let's face it, It's about to get ugly around here. You know it. I know it. So let's get prepared for it. Who wants to caught in the middle of Chicago winter in pumps? Not me, that's for sure. Let's make sure our feet are ready for the snowy mess coming too soon. 

Let's talk options. 

1. Combat boots. I'm not saying relive your middle school "My So Called Life" fashion days. Get a cool, more grown up pair that are sure to help you clomp through those wintery conditions. How fun are those red plaid ones above?

2. Flat riding boots: Keep them gams covered up in buttery leather or luxe suede. Both great choices.

3. Over the knee boots: Besides being incredibly in style right now they add a few extra inches of warmth and protection to your legs this winter!

4. "WOW" boots: You know, big heel, legs for days, making these just as sultry for going out as a pair of platform heels, except your feet will be toasty warm!

There, now isn't that better? And if you see some flurries falling from the sky today, don't say I didn't warn you. Happy Monday!
