Daily Outfit: Silk Pleats and Flowers

...so, i finally found some (affordable) floral print denim that i liked!! thanks to H&M, i am able to join Becca in this fun trend.  though i was nervous about the cream background, the color combo of teal, pinks and yellows, made them irresistable!!  it also gave me an excuse to rock more neon but softened by my silk pleated blouse that i love (and hardly get to wear).  i'm so excited!! can't wait to wear these over and over again :) xo sesheta

PFM Obsession: J. Crew Love

i have always had a love for J.Crew clothing.  while i am far from the average J.Crew client, they have such great, timeless separates that can be incorporated into any wardrobe! 

they recently sent me their latest "Style Guide" (Becca and i love that name) and it had me drooling all the way through!! it was total eye candy from start to finish.  above are some of my favorite picks from the new season's arrivals:

1. you know how much i love bags! a little purse in this fab color would make the perfect accent for a night out.

2. belts, belts, belts! these simple accents are a great way to add a pop of color, especially neon, to an otherwise drab outfit! the problem is choosing only one!

3. *gasp, i looooooove this skirt!!  mixing sequins with colorblocking - totally hard to go wrong!

4. this is a great blazer - perfect for chilly nights or another layer at work.  i would wear this with a white tee and some printed denim.

5. how exciting that it's the time of year to think about being at the beach!! i adore the color and shape of this maillot but is this a swimsuit or a leotard?!  either way, look fabulous on the beach then throw on some shorts and sandals for dinner with friends!

6. the utility pant is so comfortable and the perfect staple in any wardrobe.  make it hot pink and you've just stepped up the game!

7. i love this pair of bright colored skinnies! i have so many ideas for how to wear these...

8. sigh, yes, another bag, but, it's the color that makes this bag droolable (is that a word?? lol).

9. i've been having so much fun wearing shorts.  paired with tights or leggings or bare-legged, this printed pair would be the starting point for great outfits.

10. this is a super cute maxi skirt.  i would want to add both this pretty deep blue or the turquoise version to my collection.

alas, my list could have gone on forever!! this is just a taste of some of my faves.  Becca and i drool over J. Crew items all the time.  if only we could have them all!! hey, a girl could dream! :)

Have a great holiday weekend!!

PFM Obsession: $esheta's Spring Fresh Five - #2 Anything Cobalt

ooooo... cobalt!! this pretty blue makes everything cool.  anything cobalt lands at my #2 spot and it's easy to see why.  seeing this shade just makes me totally happy.  i sure wish i could intuit some lottery numbers the way i am able to pick up on color trends!! two years ago, i was determined to find some flats in this beautiful shade of blue and it was near impossible.  now my love of cobalt can be satisfied in soooo many ways!  all i can say is aaaahhhhh... :)

this is soo gorg!! leave it to Foley & Corinna to make a beautiful bag!

Becca's love affair started with these Gap legging jeans and i was hooked right after!

a bright blue blazer can brighten up any outfit.

Daily Outfit: Floral Navy

 so Becca mentioned how we have been location challenged for our pics.  the cool weather has really put a damper on our natural lighting.  i have been fighting tooth and nail to find an indoor location because, if you didn't know, the cold and i are not friends.  needless to say, the idea of being outside in under 40 degree weather without my jacket, scarf, hat and/or gloves does not excite me.  Becca suggested running outside, shooting at lightening quick speed (while the photographer stayed bundled) and then switching before the cold really sank in.  at first, i was all for it, but that was before the recent drop in NY temps to high 30s, low 40s.  when those lower temperatures hit me on my way in to work, i completely got cold feet.  i told Becca we could shoot my pics indoors and i would be happy to be warm while shooting hers outdoors.  well...Becca won.  after an unsatisfying shoot under fluorescent lighting, we headed outdoors for our super fast shoot.  considering the temps, i'd say these came out pretty good lol. all i have to say is anything lower than high 30s is going to be a problem lmao.

p.s. i've been having tons of fun with my blowout locks!  my hair is getting long :)  the color itch is getting stronger and as soon as i figure out how to get the color/effect i want -- it's on!!
