TRENDING: PANTONE COLOR’S OF 2016

Pantone Colors of 2016: Rose Quartz and Serenity

It’s always around this time of year that shiny new Spring clothes and accessories start creeping into stores.. just when temperatures start dropping to below freezing. It’s like a cruel joke. One of the things that always helps me, is starting to work in Spring colors – in the form of a cozy sweater or even just a fresh manicure. This year, Pantone is making that easier than ever since they’ve dubbed ‘Rose Quartz’ and ‘Serenity’ the colors of 2016 (the first time they’ve ever had 2 picks!). I’m loving both of these mixed in with my predominantly neutral winter wardrobe. Rose Quartz plays nicely with grey or camel (how nice would this bag look against your winter coat?) and Serenity looks great paired casually with denim (these booties and boyfriend jeans is a winning combo). And both will likely be a much needed dose of Spring contrast against this weekend’s winter whites.. aka impending blizzard!

POM HAT AND BLUE SUEDE BOOTIES

Anthropologie Pom Hat with camel jacket, distressed denim and suede booties

There’s something ironic about standing outside of an ice cream shop in the freezing cold. But that’s exactly where I found myself yesterday and although I didn’t order a cone, I did stay warm thanks to a few careful layers.

FAUX FUR COLLAR AND CASHMERE LAYERS

Winter style: Faux fur collar and cashmere layers

Somehow, we went from 70 degrees on Christmas Day to ‘I can’t feel my hands, face, anything’ cold over the past couple of days (note: these pictures were taken over the weekend when exposed ankles were still an option). Luckily, layers of cashmere, a warm coat and a dash of faux fur make frigid temps – temporarily – bearable.

WHAT TO WEAR: NEW YEAR’S EVE

While I still can’t quite believe that Christmas is this week, I’m having an even harder time believing that the end of 2015 is just around the corner! But before the year slips away, it’s time to pull out some sequins, dust off your dancing shoes and celebrate the last 365 days. Adam and I hid out in his family’s cabin last NYE but this year feels like one to go out and sip champagne with the rest of New York. Here, a few outfit ideas to get you in the mood. I’m loving this sequin shift (40% off right now!) with tassel earrings and embellished heels – or this cutout lace mini with metallic clutch and a pair of strappy heels.

HOLIDAY PARTY STYLE: BUFFALO PLAID SHIRT AND METALLIC MAXI SKIRT

Holiday Party Style: Talbots buffalo plaid shirt, metallic maxi skirt and embellished flats

If you’ve been stopping by lately (and thanks if that’s the case!) then you already know that I’m wayyyy into the holiday spirit. Christmas records on repeat, fresh wreath making, tree trimming.. all of it. And outfits are no exception (this one is great for your office party and this one is a standout for a holiday dinner party). This one was the most thrown together but may be one of my favorites – because it balances the fine line between comfy and casual and dressed up glitz.
