Everyday Style, Stripes & Leather

Mar 13, 2013

I've decided to borrow a little inspiration from Jen of Jen Loves Kev, and re-name my "look-book" posts to "my everyday style"... although, I still dress up here and there, the blog has become much more focused around my weekend/downtime outfits, and the new name just felt more fitting. I am however, excited to start injecting more colour and fun pops of accessories to my looks now that spring is approaching. After our long winter, I definitely need a style pick me up!



And speaking of spring?! It felt soooo spring like when we took these photos. I was actually warm - what a welcome change! I hate to sound like a whiner but I'm definitley not a fan of taking outfit photos when it's freezing out. Since it was a fabulously warm day, Martin & I spent much of it outdoors: we walked to the park, sat on the ocean pier, and then came home & cooked together. We made a super healthy tomato, cabbage and vegy soup. Really delicious! I hope to post the recipe for it later this week. And... thank you for all your lovely comments on our wedding photos! Both Martin & I really enjoyed reading through them! You guys are just the sweetest!!

Outfit Details:
Jacket - Forever 21
Top - Banana Republic
Jeans - American Eagle
Boots - Old Navy

  1. Your everyday outfit made me smile, because it looks just like mine! Although today I had to put on a real winter coat instead of my beloved leather jacket - would you believe we had a snowstorm yesterday?! I'm so in the mood for spring, just like you, but it looks like you weather is cooperating quite a bit better than mine is :) Hugs!

  12. You and Martin are such a lovely couple! And you have the prettiest hair. Seriously.
    I love this look! It's so comfortable and chic at the same time, and making me realize even more how desperately I need a striped shirt like that!
    I'm so excited for the weather to warm up and the days to be longer! It will be so nice to actually have daylight after work where we can go and take walks and enjoy being outdoors!
    Happy Wednesday!

  20. I like the decision to rename the posts. I love seeing what people consider to be "everyday" outfits. This one is particularly nice. The way you've put together the basics is stunning.
