Sometimes, you just have to admit when you are wrong.  I resisted the joggers trend for so long as I didn't think they would be flattering.  I thought I would rather wear my jeans.  Some of the girls at work and some of my fellow bloggers have been rocking them, but I just never thought they were for me.  That all changed when I tried on my first pair. Yes, I totally judged them without even trying them.  They are quite possibly the most comfortable pair of pants I own!  I think there is an update coming to my weekend uniform.

How do you feel about jogger pants?

I hope you had a great weekend!  I rarely go to the movies, but saw Selma on Friday with my parents.  It is a very powerful movie with great acting and I highly recommend it!  I'm glad I had the opportunity to see it with my parents as it was so fascinating to hear their perspective on the events of the movie which took place while they were in high school/college.

I've wanted a cape for a long time, but have struggled to find one that fits my 5'2 frame and my budget.  I actually saw this cape on a lady at my salon but didn't have a chance to ask her where she got it.  Imagine how excited I was to find it at Zara!  

There are two things I've found that help prevent this cape from overwhelming me.

1. Keep your pants, skirt, etc. in the same color family to prevent the cape from cutting you off.

2. Wear the cape with heels to look taller.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

I hope you had a great weekend!  It was freezing here this week (or freezing for Atlanta), so it was the perfect opportunity to break out my new leopard coat.  My friend wore this coat to dinner and I wouldn't let her leave until she told me where she got it.  I've been looking for the perfect leopard coat for a while, so when I found this one on sale for under $100, I knew I hit gold!

Loft Printed Shorts

Shorts: Loft -available in store, similar

Purse: Old Navy

Shoes: Dolce Vita

Bracelets: BaubleBar (here, here, here)

I hope your week is going well!  I was drawn to these shorts as soon as I walked by Loft and tried to wait patiently for them to go on sale.  I love the pattern and how soft they are.  I guess everyone else loved them also as they sold out online quickly!

While I love my heels, this summer I've been loving the sneaker slide.  This leopard version is perfect as it adds a punch to any outfit (and is so comfortable!).  I can't believe these shoes haven't made more appearances on the blog yet!  I wear them almost every weekend and they've made a few appearances on casual Friday at work.  I might have to invest in another pair as it gets cooler.

What do you guys think of the sneaker slide trend?  Are you going to try it?

First Day in Vietnam

Top: Asos

Skirt: Maje, Old

Shoes: Dolce Vita

Purse: Marc Jacobs

Necklace: Bauble Bar

Earrings: C. Wonder, old

Greetings from Vietnam!  We arrived here late last night after a world-wind weekend in Hong Kong for my friend's wedding.  Hong Kong was amazing and my friend's wedding was beautiful.  It was my first Indian wedding.  I wore a sari for the first time, which I will share later this week or next week.  

We quickly took these pictures at our hotel this morning, before getting ready to head out and explore Hanoi, and try some delicious Vietnamese food.  It is very hot and humid here so this hat is doubling as hair camouflage :).   

If you guys have any suggestions of places to go in Hanoi, please let me know.

Have a great day!

What I Want... For Spring

1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11

Happy Friday!!  I know I'm not the only one ready for warmer temperatures and spring (or the weekend!), so I decided to pull together a list of some of the things I'm craving for spring.  As I've mentioned before, these list are dangerous for my wallet and I've already craved on these great BaubleBar earrings, which are on their way!

Shoes are obviously my weakness, so I of course started with the new shoes I hoping to get (on sale!).  I've already said how much I love these Stuart Weitzman gladiators and two Schutz sandals (here and here) in previous posts, but I'm also ready to give my feet a little bit of a break from the heels with these adorable leopard sneakers.  The print is smaller than some of the other leopard sneakers I've seen and they will be perfect with shorts, casual skirts, jeans, anything!

As you can see, my mind has already well on the way to summer and the beach, with these jean cutoffs and printed shorts.  Thankfully my office has summer Fridays, so hopefully I will be able to sneak away for a weekend or two at the beach.  I got into shorts last summer with a really cute printed pair from J. Crew (here), and it is time to add to the collection (of 1).  If I were more skilled, I would make my own pair of cutoffs, but my scissors, sewing and I don't really go together, so Rag & Bone is here to the rescue.

The last thing I'm trying to incorporate for spring/summer is color.  I currently wear a lot of black and white, but this pink top might be a good way to get out of my black and white comfort zone.  Baby steps, I guess...

What's on your spring wish list?
