Style -- Denim Love.

Very excited to be breaking out my spring pieces! As I've mentioned before in my Spring Trends post, denim is a major factor for this season. I'm loving that mixing different washes of denim is a thing! It's always fun choosing different shades of blue and putting them together to make an amazing outfit. This is such an easy outfit to put together plus you looked super chic.

Gift Guide: For Him

It's that time of year again! With Valentine's Day quickly approaching I thought I'd put together a gift guide for men. The process was a little more challenging than I expected, but with some investigation I think your beau would feel lucky to receive these chic gifts. 

1. Nixon | Striking and Affordable, this piece can be worn casually or dressed up.

2. Herschel Supply Co. Toiletry Case  | Aren't we all annoyed at how guys leave their grooming products everywhere? Heres the solution. 

3. Eleven Rings | Most guys like books that will hold their interest and teach them something new. This is a must read. 

4. Beats by Dre Pill | The Best (in my opinion) wireless sound system on the market!

5. Jimmy Choo Cologne | I think we can all agree we're over the lingering Axe smell. This cologne smells amazing and doesn't take a lot to have a lasting affect for all day use. 

6. Herschel Supply Co. Backpack | Great weekender Backpack with classic leather detail. 

7. Tie Bar | Every guy needs a staple tie in their closet, these ties are it and they have a reasonable price point.

8. Nike Fuelband SE | Heard so many good things about this fitness tracker & if he downloads the app he can track progress and compete against his friends.

9. Wallet Phone Case | An easy way to keep up with cards and cash because don't we all have our phones in our hands anyway? 

Happy Shopping!

Current Obsessions -- Fall Finds

On my Radar: 

1. Kate Spade | Like A Charm Love Multi Pendant Necklace | Loving the layered chain look, while still being light weight and dainty. Great for everyday wear! 

2. Mac Cosmetics | Taupe Lipstick | I mean really, aren't we all trying to accomplish the perf Kylie Jenner lip color? Here it is and it doesn't look washed out on darker skin complexions. Try pairing with Macs 'Whirl' lip liner.

3. Gianni Bini | Sevyn Belted Peep-Toe Bootie | The type of sandal/bootie that adds a pinch of edginess to your look & can be added to your classic outfit for a great contrast. 

4. Vince Camuto | 'Karita' Over The Knee Boots  | I have been searching all over for these gems. Can't go wrong with an all black over the knee boot. Definitely a wardrobe staple. 

5. Forever 21 | Draped Lapel Trench Coat | Everyone is loving this winter trend of a maxi Trench (including myself). 

6. Sincerely Jules | Graphic Tee | You can never go wrong with a graphic tee, especially with added inspiration. Dress it down with ripped jeans or up with a pencil skirt. 

7. Mac Cosmetics | Gold Deposit Mineralized SkinFinish | Is it summer yet? I guess this is considered taboo but who wouldn't become a rebel for the ideal highlight?

8. Bop Basics | 'Im So Fancy' pouch | Seriously loving this pouch! Great for going out and can double as a make up bag. 

9. Dior | 'Mohotani' Cat Eye Sunnies | I am extremely picky about my sunglasses but I'm loving this cat eye look.
