One of the little tasks I want to complete while on my mini vacation is organizing my online life a bit…grouping blogs together in my reader, starting some twitter lists, making sense of some pinterest boards that are now over three years old, etc. As I’m separating out my style board into seasons (OCD much? yeah, you’ve done it too) I’m becoming more and more excited for spring. Brighter colors, no more coats, fresh air, lighter layers. I’m so ready. Spring it on.
While flipping though some old magazines this week, I came across this photo from Marie Claire in March 2009 that I instantly was drawn to a second time. Bright full skirt, graphic tee, pop of pattern, a red lip, and baubles. This could easily be my early fall uniform.
I often shy away from full skirts because I think they look best with heels, and let’s be honest, how often do I actually wear those? But a full skirt is just so ladylike and these below are such eye candy. I love the idea of pairing them with a tee and structured blazer or cropped suede jacket. And the gold sequined one? I die. Can you pick a favorite?

I’m heading to Salt Lake City today for a work conference. While I’m ready for spring in DC, I guess I’ll have to embrace the winter weather again for this weekend. My uniform will pretty much be skinnies, a loose blouse, cardigan, short chunky boots, and of course my faux fur vest. I just can’t get enough of this perfect furry, fun accent. It’s probably the only reason I want it to stay cold out there…

Well, we’ve made it – Happy Valentine’s Day!
I think I squealed when I found out that Liz from So Much to Smile About lives in DC too. She’s bringing so much style to our city – it’s super exciting! This lucky girl just got back from New York Fashion Week, but she was sweet enough to put together a hot outfit for going out tonight. I love the pops of pink!

Hi sweet readers! Liz here from So Much to Smile About. While I swear I do love Valentine’s Day, I’m just not a huge fan of pinks and reds – but the perfect LBD and a pop of color? That’s something I can support! So I thought I’d share with you some of my picks for adding in a bit of festive color this Valentine’s Day, whether you’re hitting the town with your girlfriends or have a romantic evening planned! OR even if you’re staying in, who says you can’t wear fabulous pink pumps around the house?

I’m delighted to share a post this morning from Mackenzie of Design Darling. This girl is a superstar and will soon knock our socks off with the DD boutique launching this year. I can’t wait to see where she goes and all the great things she will do – but I think I’m even more excited to meet her a week from today! Let the blogger love continue!
