Four Season Fabulous: February 2014

Stripes, Colored Tights, & More Stripes

Happy Monday lovelies! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Today I am sharing a look inspired by my incredibly cute tutu mug from the Alice & Olivia collection at Starbucks. We are very match-y with our striped dresses. I added these green tights (I've also worn it with burgundy tights) to add a punch of color to an otherwise neutral outfit. This draped cardigan is one of my long time favorites (inspired to be worn by the #2014closetremixchallenge), while the tights and booties are more recent pieces. It's crazy how an "old" item can seem new again by pairing it with trendier pieces! I'm also carrying my school bag, making this a very true-to-life outfit I would be seen in everyday. What have you re-discovered in you closet lately?

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day!

Friday Faves: Share the Love this V-Day

It's finally Friday which means that the weekend is only a work day away (insert jump for joy here) and that Valentine's Day is only a week away! Say what? It's crazy, right? I swear just last week we were ringing in the new year. So, with V-day just around the corner, I thought I would start sharing some favorite things that I would either love to give to my sisters and girlfriends, or receive. I am definitely one of those people who loves Valentine's Day. Any holiday where we get to spread love and recognize the people we care about is a-okay with me! I always mail Valentines and buy little gifts for all my loved ones. This year, I am loving cute but practical gifts and swooning over all things pink. Do you buy gifts for all your Valentines?

Throwback Thursday: Sing the Blues

Only one more day until Friday and, per usual, I am beyond psyched! As I have waxed poetic about on here before, I am a girl who lives for the weekends and with the avalanche of freezing precipitation this week, I am a little more anxious than usual to hole up in my apartment for a few days. Until then however its work, school, and probably more snow, yippee ;-) Given the relentless winter, I am once again excited to share a throw back post to when the grass was not just green, but actually visible. Here is another layered outfit from this past fall, and shows another one of the many ways I have styled another piece from Mint Sugar Boutique, their Iced Tassel Necklace (see this post for coupon code for 15% off your entire order!). This outfit is also pretty monochromatic in nature, which is a change of pace from my normal kaleidoscope of colors present in my outfits. One of the easiest way to mix patterns successfully is to do it within a single color family, or between naturals and a color. Here I have mixed patterns within the blue family as well as with a neutral, ie. leopard. How do you mix prints?

Love Letters Necklace

Happy Wednesday Lovelies! Can you believe that Valentine's Day is less than 10 days away? I have quite a few ducks to get in a row before celebrating next Friday, but luckily for me, accessorizing my outfit is not one of them! I have found an amazing necklace for V-day and am so excited to share it with all of you today. The Love Letters Necklace is the perfect necklace for Valentine's and is from Mint Sugar Boutique, the boutique where I also got my beloved Iced Tassel Necklace from (seen here, here, here, here). Their Love Letters Necklace is sweet, charming, dainty, delicate, and an absolute must during the season of love. I chose to combine mine and Kevin's initials with an ampersand, but you can also choose an adorable heart to join the initials of you and your loved one. This necklace is perfect for layering, or worn alone. I know that mine will be on serious repeat the next few weeks and well into the spring. Mint Sugar Boutique has been kind enough to offer a discount for Four Season Fabulous readers this week, just use the code: 4seasonfab at check-out to enjoy 15% off your total purchase now through this Sunday (Feb 9th). Be sure to pick up a Love Letters Necklace of your own just in time for Valentine's Day!
