Kate Spade Fall 2013

Fun, bright, colourful, and girly are words that I would use to describe the Kate Spade New York Fall 2013 collection. Most importantly, it was WEARABLE. I could see myself wearing every one of the 30 piece collection. And while I won't post the complete collection, here are some of my fave outfits!  

To Kill For

I couldn't count the number of times I've heard someone use the phrase "to die for" when describing jewelry, dress, or better yet, a mean pair of shoes. A phrase I've never really understood. If you were dead, then how would you enjoy those things?!

On the other hand, if you have watched enough Criminal Minds in your life, you could get away with murder. And then you can enjoy that item!

So, friends, these shoes..are definitely to KILL for.

Patterns Gone South

My closet has accumulated its share of pattern pants and I'm excited to take the pattern party even more south next season. What's more fun than adding excitement to an otherwise basic outfit with some cool shoes?!

Here are some heels that have caught my eye that I may have to add (the wallet-friendly options) to my growing collection!

How do you feel about patterned shoes?

Not Feeling Fly

As I sit here in the airport lounge waiting for my connecting flight, I realize I haven't posted in a while! And what a better topic to post about than travel fashion!

While I wish that I was one of those girls that look so put together while travelling - perfect hair, make up and heels, I have come to the conclusion that I am just not. And you know what? I'm ok with that. I just wanna be comfy y'all!

Here are my go to travel clothing items:

1. A big cozy sweater

You never know what the temperatures are going to be like in airports and/or planes. Layering will allow you take your body temperature in your own hands! Plus, you can use your sweater as a cozy little blanky when you're trying to catch some zzz's on the flight.

2. Leggings

They're comfortable. They're not sweat pants. They'll make you look less bulky especially if you're going with a chunky sweater. I don't need to explain myself any further.

3. Kicks

Or any footwear that will require you to wear socks! There is nothing less appealing me to me than having to walk barefoot on the floor after being asked to take your shoes off by Security. Sock it up, friends!

4. Scarf

For the same reasons as the sweater. Plus, sometimes you just wanna dig your face into something to avoid Coughy McCougherson sitting next to you without looking like a Sars victim.

What do you usually sport when you're being a jet setter?

Earring My Bell

Statement necklaces and rings have been all the rage lately, so it was warranted when ear lobes everywhere stopped listening and started asking "Where's the love, guys??". Well dear ear lobes, your  prayers have been answered. More attention was given to the accessory up north on the spring/summer runways with the introduction of the ear cuff.

For a minute, we'll strip away all the collar necklaces, layered bracelets, and loud clothes and showcase all the greatness that earrings have to offer day after day.
