Birthday Brunch

Tomorrow is my birthday, so my friends were kind enough to take me to a birthday brunch today! I wanted to keep is comfy and casual, but also kind of warm because I knew we would be eating outside and Michigan has not quite gotten the whole spring memo!

Jeans: Topshop // Boots: Ugg

Sweater: H&M // Sunglasses: Forever21

Checked Days

 Bracelet: Alex and Ani // Nail Polish: Essie// Rings: Brandy Melville

 Top: Zara

Boots: H&M // Jeans: Topshop

I love this checked top from Zara. It was part of a co-ord set, but since the shorts aren't really fall appropriate for where I am, a good alternative is the classic black jeans. The pattern of this top adds a little extra dimension to an other wise simple ootd!

Designer Dupe // Adil Coat

Cardigan: Forever21//Jeans:Topshop

Watch: Daniel Wellington

Boots: H&M (similar)// Sweater: J.Crew

Lately I have fallen in love with everything Isabel Marant, however my wallet isn't feeling that love. I was over the moon when I was in Forever 21 a few weeks back and saw this cardigan that looks exactly like the Adil Coat from the A/W 14-15 Ready-to-Wear collection. From the black and white stripped detailing to the hood on the back, this is a perfect dupe for the Isabel coat but for significantly less! I love hunting for a good dupe that ends up being not only a good price, but also amazing quality! If you're on the hunt for some good designer look-alikes I would check out Forever 21 right now, who is killing it this A/W season!

Mini Red

 Top: H&M// Skirt: Topshop// Boots: H&M

 Bag: H&M Watch: Daniel Wellington

I admit, when in comes to color, my wardrobe is seriously lacking it. I find that I am most comfortable in my black and white, and if I'm feeling extra adventurous maybe some gray will get thrown in there too. I am trying to get better at adding color into my outfits, and have found the easiest way to do so is in accessories, especially bags. I found this little gem at H&M and knew it would give me that pop of color that I had been so desperately craving!

March Lustlist

Line 1: zara top topshop lace dungaree zara coat
Line 2: zara shorts topshop shorts topshop skirt h&m shorts
Line 3: satchel hat sandals heel

March was when the weather took a turn for the better, and my love for spring/summer clothes came out in full force. This month I was loving more of the festival vibe clothing. A very exciting line that has recently come out is the H&M cochella line. The line has that effortless summer boho feel. I have also been gravitating towards pops of color, especially in my accessories. Topshop has been drawing me in with their beautiful pops of pastels, and are almost begging me to be in my spring wardrobe. All in all this month I have been loving a good mix of light spring like and festival ready items.
