Cool & Casual

Happy Monday, everyone  (If the start of the work week is really something to celebrate?)  But, today is my mom's birthday so Happy Birthday Mom!  That's certainly something worth celebrating...

Kickin' It Kool

If you follow me on Instagram, you may recall this post.  I could barely contain my excitement over these gold + salty kicks.  After I first saw them on display my J.Crew store, I couldn't stop thinking about them.  I had to go back the very next day and make them my own.  The classic style and simple color palate only adds to their versatility, plus I'm a sucker for all things gold.  I've actually been wearing the heck out of them already.  Have a great week!

A Laid Back Look

Taking things down a notch today with this 'laid back' look.  Lately (especially on weekends), I've been gravitating towards more casual looks, finished with these Chuck Taylors, which I snagged on sale at the new Assembly Row Outlets.  These kicks are comfortable, cute and, lets face it, classic.  These babies will never go out of style.  What is your go-to piece for a laid back look?  

Merry Christmas!  Don't forget to follow along through the Holidays via Instagram!
