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.

Outfit: Leather Owl

Simply Be Coat | Old Navy Sweater (similar) | F21 Jeans (similar) | Converse Chuck Taylor | Black Radiance Lipstick 5112

I stepped out today not knowing what the temperature was going to be, but hoping it was like yesterday's unusual 60 degree weather. I was completely wrong, but since I wasn't going to be out all day, I stuck with this outfit. I was freezing, which explains my clenched fists! Needless to say, I can't wait until Spring.

Steal Her Style: Garcelle Beauvais's Winter Neon

What's better than all-black in the winter? A delicious pop of neon a la Garcelle Beauvais. I love this full skirt from Tibi that could be a bit overwhelming, but Garcelle made it a wearable statement with a tough leather jacket, emerald earrings and pattered pumps. Like her look? Get it below.

Holiday Style Picks + Two Giveaways!

It's the most festive time of the year again, and the perfect time to add a little sparkle to your looks! Not that I need an excuse, but you get the idea. Lane Bryant has an incredible selection of pieces that will take you from casual family gatherings, to sexy nights out with your beau, or the annual work holiday party. I love dressing up for the season, but to be honest, I need to be comfortable. 

So when Lane Bryant asked me to style my perfect holiday look, I knew exactly what I wanted. If ever I'm unsure of what to wear, I always reach for a tee and jeans. But in this case, a sweater and jeans. And not just any sweater, a sequined one! Nothing screams festive more than sequins, and I love that this beauty is in a copper color (a nice alternative to black). I went one size up for a slouchy effect, and I'll pair this with black skinny jeans, boots or wedges, and a classic red lip. What's better than feeling beautiful and comfortable at the same time? If you're still searching for your perfect holiday look, keep reading...I have two surprises for you!

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?

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.
