I love matching skirt suits...and am on a hunt still for a cute matching shorts suit...but when I saw this one at H&M (for the most affordable price ever...), how could I say no? I love the subtle tweed in a black and white pattern which makes it so easy to wear together or separately. I paired the set with a simple white blouse from Zara, and one of my favorite bags, my Valentino Rocklock crossbody to provide a pop of red!

I'm one for dainty jewelry for the most part, but really nice statement jewelry always wins my heart--something about a beautiful statement piece makes it so much easier to pick out what you're wearing. I try to keep things very basic and simple so that my outfit doesn't outshine the jewelry. 

This Silver Patina set from Rachel Marie Designs is made with European settings and Swarovski elements, and is honestly one of the best quality statement pieces I own. I paired both necklaces together for a bolder layering kind of look, but have also been wearing them separately depending on the outfit I pick out. See more of Rachel's beautifully designed pieces on her website here!

Last year, I've really put in a lot of effort to build up a more neutral closet. I used to be a very colorful print kind of person and had little to no black colored items in my closet. As much as I loved all the color, I got sick of my clothes easily and would barely wear items more than once. Now I find myself wearing neutral colors everyday with an occasional print or pop of color. Here's a good outfit that showcases my change in wardrobe ... neutrals, stripes (my favorite kind of print), and a bright lip.

I desperately needed some gloves for the winter since I made a hole in my gloves where the seams met and was too lazy to resew it, it only seemed right for me to get some new gloves while in Italy. I bought a new pair of black ones and decided to be bold and get a pair of bright blue ones as well. A bit of a wintery post for the warm weather that just decided to spring into our lives (haha..get it?)..but loved these gloves too much to not post.

For all those in NY, happy Monday and first day of 80 degree weather!
