A Woman's World

The powersuit is back (well without the shoulder pads of course) and women are ready to be empowered! I know that this trend has been talked about for many months now but it is just starting to become attainable to the average shopper (in lower prices!) and I am excited to attempt the suit. For inspiration, I've looked to a few stars who I believe have done it right:

Of course this Marc Jacobs one is not very practical but I love this look that Elle Fanning is rocking.

This velvet suit looks amazing on Elizabeth Olsen, very chic, but still maybe too much for day to day wear.

This suit that Amy Poehler wore to the Golden Globes is fabulous, I just wish that I had a big event to wear something like this too!

Now this is something I think I would be able to wear, a colored suit can be dressed up or down with the right shirt and accessories. Rashida Jones looks hip with hot pink heels and a graphic, collard shirt.

Sneaker Heaven

I've always loved wearing converse sneakers, I just had to replace my favorite pair of black, faux leather high tops because they were breaking from all the use, but recently I've become obsessed with designers that are taking the sneaker to a new level. I bought a pair of black sneaker wedges from Steve Madden about six months ago, then a beautiful pair of low-top, patent leather Miu Miu sneakers and a week ago I received my metallic Michael Kors high tops. I am in sneaker heaven.

Essential Items: Black Boots

Whether you have one pair or more than seven (like me) black boots are completely essential to any woman's wardrobe. Since black goes with everything black shoes in general are very helpful to own but black boots are extremely versatile. I can't get enough black boots because there are so many different styles you can have; heeled, tall, short, lace-up etc. but if you are going to buy one pair that will go with many different outfits and be of service to you for a long time, I would recommend getting a pair of simple, tall black boots that end a few inches below the knee, these boots can add a level of sophistication to any outfit.

Heart It Right Now

It's been far too long since I've made a post but with senior year comes an extremely busy schedule, however I will try my best. Since I've last posted fall has come and gone and winter (well at least in California) is almost done, so before spring comes here is a list of things that I'm obsessed with right now:

-my new Valentino studded bag (I read that studs are out for 2013 and was appalled, studs are never out)

-Ellie Goulding's new album Halcyon and Metric's most recent album Synthetica

-watching Friends from the very beginning because I just got all seven seasons for Christmas

-black nails (yes I know that's not very "transition to spring" but I always love black nails) I'm very into the the nail art trend that's happening now but every time I go to get my nails done I end up getting simple, black nails (something to work on in this new year maybe?)

-reading Lessons From Madame Chic: 20 Stylish Secrets I Learned While Living in Paris because I always feel like my lifestyle needs tweaking

-finding the perfect iPhone case for spring (I've been scouring Etsy since the black/floral one I was in love with is no longer being sold at Madewell)

-trying to desperately catch up on my fashion magazine reading before I start my second semester of senior year in a few days
