Do you have a go-to outfit every season which you find yourself wearing more than once a week? For the winter season, this is my go-to outfit! I find myself wearing this sweater with my charcoal jeans, black jeans, light wash jeans and dark wash jeans. I wear it with boot cuts, skinnies and trouser jeans. Basically, every pair of jeans I own! It’s cozy, soft, comfortable; I cannot believe I did not photograph it earlier in the season! I wear this sweater all the time.

As a side note, this handbag has been on my radar for several months, and now that my holiday expenses are over, I was able to pull the trigger and buy it. I am in love! Saint Laurent handbags are made in Italy by Italian artisans; so they are amazing! The leather is incredible and the craftsmanship is fabulous. The color is also eye-catching; these photos do not do it justice!

What is your go-to outfit this season?

Chanel Blue Boy nail polish review

Chanel blue boy nail polish

Pictured: Chanel Blue Boy nail polish. Two coats of color, one base coat, no top coat.

Chanel Blue Boy nail polish was originally introduced by Chanel for FNO 2011. I remember when Blue Boy first came out, along with Coco Blue and Blue Rebel. I wanted to get my hands on all three, but alas, they sold out faster than you can say “ring me up!”

When Chanel re-introduced Blue Boy for the winter 2015 season, I was thrilled! Here was my chance to snap up one of the beautiful blue nail polishes from Chanel’s FNO 2011 “Les Jeans Collection.” Chanel Blue Boy nail polish is fabulous! It is a medium denim hue which blends in with any medium-wash denim  you can place your hand next to. It is a casual blue color which offers a cool, slate-like vibe; ideal for any season of the year. Love that!

There are also so many shades of blue which are on trend for the spring 2015 season, this makes Chanel Blue Boy a great color to have in your nail polish wardrobe as move from winter into spring. 

I tested out Chanel Blue Boy nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color and no top coat. Chanel Blue Boy lasted a full seven days! Perfection 🙂

Chanel Blue Boy nail polish can be found online here, here and here.

Suede for spring 2015

spring 2015 suede

Spring 2015 suede: Skirt / Handbag / Shoes

Suede is one of those fabrications normally associated with fall clothing. Despite this association, designers have decided to break the stereotype and use suede in their spring 2015 collections. This nod towards the 1970’s inspiration found in many designers spring 2015 collections, is a soft and refreshing take on spring fabric.

Although not dominant in New York, suede was favored by Paris and Milan designers on the spring 2015 runways. This soft fabrication found in both real leather and faux, offers a vintage vibe reminiscent of the 1970’s. So many spring trends tie in with suede including fringe and boho-chic.

Suede can be found on everything including shoes, handbags, jackets and skirts for the spring 2015 season. I found a few fabulous suede items around the web for spring 2015. I hope you love them for spring! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉
