Falls Latest "IT" Coat: The Trench

The Trench by monroesteele featuring a black trench coat

GET THE LOOK

Yes...we all drooled a little over Olivia Popes White Burberry Trench. Yes...it's just a coat. But I'll be damned if she didn't look fabulous in it and single handedly revived the white trench. This style of coat has actually been on the runways for most of the the last 4 Fall Runway Seasons. And some of the best streetstyle stars and televison scarletts have been rocking the trench from Kim Kardashians Paris Excursions to super blogger Miraslava Duma. I will be ordering the super long camel colored trench from ASOS asap and probably the grey one too.

has spring sprung

I think it has. Today was so mild and nice. I found myself drawn to the park...where I stood in contemplative silence for about 20 minutes. This has been a very stressful and emotional week for me. I've been thinking a lot about my life and what I want out of it. I needed some brightness in my life. Thus...this outfit post. Though I just lounged around in my apartment in it, it still made my day a little brighter. Can't wait for the real Spring to arrive.

Spring Trends Guide 2013: Sweatshirts, Neons and Lace

I'm not looking forward to the time springing ahead (I love all my hours of sleep). But I am excited for Spring...although it seems it will never be here in NYC! We supposedly have some major snow storm on the way and I am not in the least impressed with mother nature at the moment. anywho a girl can dream right? So I'm bringing you another Spring Trends post...you can check out the first of the series HERE.

So for now we are going to cover: Sweatshirts (yes...they are still making a comeback), neons (more solid color only neons), and of course nothing says spring like a little lace!

 GET THE LOOK

when I saw this neon orange sweatshirt at Zara I immediately bought it even though orange isn't really in my forte of favorite colors. I loved the brightness and how cozy it is. It's a great stand out peice and something about it screams Kenzo Paris to me. I paired it with this amazing lace flouncy skirt (yes flounce is in for Spring) from Lulus.com and neutral accessories. You can always tone down a loud outfit with a nude shoe! Trust me people are gonna rock the sweatshirt trend right up until summer.

flower bomb

when i came across this Talulah dress at the showroom full of Australian labels

i could barely contain my excitement.

its a blend of two hot trends: Florals and neons.



Dress: Talulah | Shoes: Forever 21 see them upclose HERE | Sunnies: Got at Brooklyn Flea Market

Lipstick: Lime Crime Countessa Flourescent c/o Lime Crime Makeup

i thought I would go neon with the sunnies and lipstick as well. Lime Crime Makeup has some amazing opaque lip colors that are perfect for the season. an interesting lip color can instantly make an outfit more glam. p.s. these are my new favorite sunglasses.

have you experimented with different lip colors?
