palm leaves in palm beach

My boyfriend shot these photos of me when we were in Palm Beach a few weeks ago visiting his family. I thought, what could be a more perfect for palm beach than these outrageously amazing palm print bermuda shorts? Nothing, actually. How fabulous are they? Palm leaf prints are going to be my "thing" this summer, I already know it. 

Also, these Sam Edelman sling-backs? Snake print, metallic heel? I mean, come on....they're perfect and ridiculously comfortable.

Dress Tracy Reese (sample sale find!) | Shirt Anne Fontaine | Shoes JCrew | Jacket Zara

This dress is one of my favorite finds from NYC sample sale season last year - from Tracy Reese. While it has a beautiful pattern, it still feels almost like a "neutral" to me - with endless outfit possibilities. Layering is the best way to move a piece of clothing from one season to the next, and this dress has unlimited pairing potential for just about any season. 

off-duty

is there anything better than a fuzzy sweater and (faux) leather leggings to make up the perfect "off duty" weekend shopping look? no. the answer is no, there's nothing better.

statement pant

Jacket Veda (in Black here) | Top Forever21 | Pants Zara | Shoes J.Crew 

Usually throughout the winter I spend my time trying to figure out how to pull off dresses and pencil skirts, sometimes sans tights, despite sub zero temperatures in the city. However, this season - with its exceptionally disturbingly freezing temperatures - I've decided to become BFF with the statement pant. Animal print, sequin, velvet, faux leather, wide leg, high waisted, neon green, pastel pink, literally anything you can think of - from cook prints and patterns, to bright colors or cool textures, I've fallen in love and I don't care who knows it. There are so many great options for fun pants  just about anywhere you chose to shop and it truly does help combat those winter closet blues. Plus, you can layer them with tights underneath for extra warmth during those freezing months and then wear them in the spring and fall without the thermal layer. I've had a much easier time befriending the winter season when I'm able to look down at the snow and see leopard print ankle biters or sequin track pants cascading down my legs, instead of frost bite. I'd definitely recommend it.
