Seasonal Spin

March 29th, 2012

{Voluminous sleeves + hair + white-rimmed eyes}

Though it’s technically spring, we’ve been experiencing some truly conflicted weather in California as of late. One week will be blistering and the next is met with dark clouds and severe winds. Since the climate changes are a bit difficult to embrace, I’ve pulled together a few looks that are currently inspiring me in regards to beauty and fashion (with options suitable for all kinds of temperatures).

{White button-down + scarf + sexy hair}

{Unexpected color combinations: navy + lilac}

{Middle part + dark crimson lip}

{Coral-colored accessories + oversized watch}

{Beachy waves + thick knit}

{Loose top knot + dainty necklace + floaty dress}

{Pink coat (of my dreams) + metallic heels}

    I understand what you are saying about the weather, in the mornings I am wearing a heavy sweater and towards noon I have to take it off and find something a bit lighter because I am about to faint of a heat stroke. Then the weekend comes around and it is raining, hopefully it will just stay sunny from now on.
