Sophisticated Pastels

The transition from winter to spring is right around the corner and that means a whole lot of color in your wardrobe! We absolutely love pastels right now, whether it’s a pretty dress or daring skinny jeans we cannot get enough. Try mixing cool neutrals with soft blues, purples, greens and pinks or a pop of bold black, red or cobalt blue with these light colors; you will be looking sophisticated and ready for the spring!

Sweet on Stripes

Stripes never go out of style! We love the classic look of a blazer and simple stripes, but it's also fun to change it up by adding a bold piece of jewelry or contrasting them with florals. When contrasting, make sure to have a common color in both your striped piece and your contrasting piece. Have fun mixing!

Sock-Bun Love

How to do your own sock-bun!


What you'll need:
-a tube sock
-scissors
-bobby pins
-a hair tie 
1. Take a tube sock and cut off the toe and ribbed top.
 
2. Roll the sock until it turns into a donut shape.
 
3. Style your hair in a high pony tail (it works best if it's straight), and place the sock donut at the base.
 
4. Carefully pull the donut up to the top of your pony tail and begin to slowly roll your hair down the donut. Secure any fly-aways into the sock as you roll.
 
5. Roll your hair completely into the sock donut. Secure tightly with bobby pins and hair spray!


Mess it up a bit or keep it clean and polished for a fun new hairstyle!
XOXO

Winter Layering

Don't let the harsh Washington winter suck the style out of your wardrobe this year! There are loads of innovative ways to keep warm and stylish with trendy new layering techniques. Try matching a leather or wool jacket over a denim or fur vest, or even a thick cardigan. On your bottom half, socks are a must! I love long knit socks scrunched up under boots, but they are are also great for adding some warmth when paired over tights. Lastly, don't forget to add a chunky scarf to top off your look!
