Creme Fraiche
A color palette of creams and nudes is always one of my favorite looks. It's so easy, and no matter what the pieces, the result is so chic, right? I've been seeing more and more people wearing pastel tones in the winter time, and it's one of my favorite trends. Makes a lot of sense, because pastels look so nice against a snowy backdrop (although we don't get any of that nonsense here unfortunately). I really love how the yellow strap from my Rebecca Minkoff camera bag lends a bright touch of color.

Brugmansia
Soaring temperatures make me gravitate towards all-white looks, although I don't know how much it really helps to keep me cool. These two pieces fit together as if they were made for each other, and the overall effect reminded me of angel's trumpet flowers. The fit-and-flare silhouette is always fun in my book. So flirty and feminine!

taking stock
Being a planner (and a hoarder), when I find something I really like, it's hard for me to squelch the urge to stock up. For instance, I loved the pink version of this dress by Lucca Couture (worn here) so much that I had to snap it up in blue too. The fit and fabric are great and it'll be the easiest outfit to throw on ever once the weather starts to really warm up here. And, since I get so much wear out of my Chloé-wannabe boots from Choies (worn here, here, and here...I'm sure you're all very tired of seeing them by now), I figured purchasing another pair of gold-studded black ankle boots would definitely be a reasonable and sensible investment. I mean, I'm nothing if not pragmatic, ya know? Always gotta have a contingency plan.

a circle & plaid
I love how American Apparel's circle skirts have the perfect amount of volume and structure. It's such a gloriously feminine silhouette that I decided to man it up a bit by pairing it with a "borrowed-from-the-boyfriend" plaid shirt. This one is not actually borrowed from the boyf though, but in fact from a made-for-girls label called JACHS Girlfriend. It's double layer and has all sorts of cute details such as floral print lining at the collar and sleeve openings. And it's washed-a-million-times soft! Topped it all off with my favorite cropped moto from Nasty Gal.

the look of love
When I was a kid, February was my favorite month. Not only was it a month filled with hearts, candies, cute little cards from classmates, and my favorite color (at the time, pink), but it was also the month containing my all-important birthday, which I also associated with Valentine's because those were the decorations that were invariably available come that time of year. Since then, a lot has changed. Too many (pretty much all) Valentine's days were spent alone and single, too many birthdays were spent disappointed and depressed about growing older, and I discovered an absolute disdain for cold weather. But two things haven't changed: I still love pink and I'm still a sucker for the classic pink/red combo. It just brings back all these positive associations for me. This pretty/romantic look has got me so excited to spend this upcoming Valentine's Day with my very special favorite person in the whole wide world, even though he hates my wooly mammoth sweater. I don't care, I've been loving this thing to death, and I might even be rocking it again come Valentine's!
