Outfit: Little Blue Dress

I literally forgot I owned this dress until I saw something bright blue peeking out at me in my closet. Can you believe it's from Walmart? I was stunned at how heavy the fabric actually is, and how the perfectly it fit. I absolutely love the cobalt color - and of course I toughened it up with my trusty Simply Be contrast coat, gold necklace and bright purple lips.

Inspiration: Black + White

I know, I know...I said I wanted more color in my life. But this was too good not to post. I LOVE the simplicity of the striped top under a slouchy white knit with loose jeans. Perfection.

Style Inspiration: Girlish

I'm not sure if it's the evocative name of the LOVE magazine editorial, but can't you picture the cast of GIRLS in a variation of these looks? I love the contrast of the opaque tights and Alexander Wang sandals in the first photo, and the cute mod coat in the last photo. Shop some of my favorite pieces reminiscent of this look below.

Emerald Details

Happy New Year! I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday. Although I tend not to make New Year's resolutions (since they are a surefire way for me to never do something), I do have one thing I'd like to try this year. Wearing more color. I'm pretty sure I say this every year, but I'm an all-black/neutral color devotee, but I'd like to change that. Even if it's in small doses. Partly due to the fact that I can't even tell what's what in my closet anymore. Yep, almost everything is black. This emerald green coat is pretty bold, but it's paired with black so it's a little less stark. Which means, I'll be more likely to wear it without feeling like a leprechaun.

Steal Her Style: Gwen Stefani's Color Block Blazer

Gwen Stefani was spotted in Los Angeles recently sporting a rocker-chic all black look with red accents (including her signature lip color!). The red colorblock blazer is so simple, but really adds the finishing touch to her outfit. How flawless is she?

Outfit Inspiration: Cozy Layers

How good is this editorial in the December issue of Velvet? I really love the little details in each outfit: the peek of dotted lace on a sleeve, the adorable patterned sweater, the all-black textured velvet look. Just because we're covered up to keep warm, doesn't mean we can't wear interesting pieces, right?

Get the Look: Winter Pastels

While it's easy to get stuck in your daily uniform of black, navy and (oxblood if you're like me), I'm really loving softer, pastel colors right now. This Oasap coat's mint colorblock coat is so good. Such a welcome alternative to basic black, no?

Steal Her Style: Miranda Kerr's Cocoon Outerwear

Miranda Kerr has been spotted out and about lately in the ever-popular cocoon silhouette. The shape can be a little tricky to style, but Miranda styles her pieces flawlessly with sleek bottoms. Think leather leggings, pointy pumps and cool booties. Miranda is undoubtedly stunning, but the real star in these photos is her son, Flynn. Gotta love a well-dressed baby!

Get the Look: Polished Glam

How gorgeous is Lara Stone in this editorial for the Gentlewoman? It reminds me that glam doesn't have to be complicated. A bit of sparkle, lace and velvet, tailored coats and a red lip are perfect, especially this time of year.
