Ever get in a rut with your clothes? I feel this way a lot, especially in the winter time. I use Rent The Runway often to events and everyday attire, but when I return something, a situation comes up that I want the piece and it’s no longer available. Spring and summer are my favorite seasons of the year, especially the clothing! It’s really the only two seasons where I shop way more than I should. How can I not when there are so many cute dresses, swimsuits, tops and shoes to choose from. My online shopping bags are starting to get full and I am ready to hit purchase on a few items. Would love to hear what is on your list this spring?

Lilac Power Suit

It’s safe to say that I have a thing for suits. From my pink suit to my new lilac suit, I love to look professional and stylish at the same time. A good power suit isn’t just for the office, as we have discussed before. The working girl vibe is still a top trend and one I do not believe will go away any time soon. (more…)
Friday’s Simply Smitten
“There is no force more powerful than a woman determined to rise”
Happy Friday and happy International Women’s Day!! I am back in New York after a long weekend home in Columbus. It was SO nice to be home and to have spent time with my family. It was a lovely, relaxing weekend that I needed.
The Animal Print Dress

A trend that has stand the test of time is the animal print. From leopard to jaguar to python, brands have been creating garments in this wildlife print for many years. Some may say it can be considered a neutral. It’s true that you can pair animal prints to any color, mixing it with other prints however, not my forte. The tricky thing about animal print is that it has to be the right style. It can come off as tacky if you are not careful. I guess it’s open to interpretation on what looks tacky or not, but for me when there is too much going on (added studs or colors) or you are in head to toe leopard, it is tacky. When purchasing items that are in animal print I take into careful consideration as to what shade is the print, how big or small are the spots, and how cheap the material looks. I have a few leopard items in my closet– flats and a blouse from J.Crew (vintage circa 5 years ago), but I have been shying away from animal prints ever since, until now.
