Not sure whether it's my love of pastels or obsession with candy in egg-form (and otherwise) but Easter has long been one of my favorite holidays. Unfortunately it has been less celebrated for the last oh, ~20 years since reaching the age where it was no longer socially acceptable to hunt eggs. But I have high hopes that with the new addition to the family it will be a bigger deal in the years to come. And no Easter season is complete without dyeing eggs so I leave you with six unconventional decorating ideas that would make for a fun little weekend activity.  Happy Easter!

Work Wear

Zara Blazer (old) & Top | J. Brand Jeans 

Just another work outfit because that seems like all I do lately...although I did manage to try out a bunch of new East Village restaurants last weekend, all of which I would recommend: L'Apico and Calliope (amazing, just go) for brunch and Acme for dinner. This whole 'work' thing is going to come to a screeching halt tomorrow at this time...when I will be on the beach vegging out for the remainder of the week. Serenity now.

Spring (Flowered) Denim

H&M Coat & Scarf | Madewell Cardigan | Forever 21 Tee | Zara Floral Jeans | Sam Edelman Booties

Floral denim is just about the only piece of a spring mother nature is allowing to be introduced into my wardrobe. I promise I'll stop complaining whenever the weather starts cooperating. Until then, the expression in photo #2 will be painted on my face. Silver lining: it's Friday. Happy weekend, all.

Over It

Urban Outfitters Sweatshirt (old) | Forever 21 Leather Skirt (similar here and here) | Chanel Bag | Arden B. Booties (similar here)

Hoooey...Sorry (again) for the interruption. Work swooped in and took over my life in a big way the last couple weeks. Hopefully will be back to more normalized posting but can't make any promises because you never know what the new day (and some other deal) may bring. In other news, I'm really sick of cold weather...and tights...and coats, etc. So over it. I've been trying to re-mix items in my wardrobe, like this Urban Outfitters sweatshirt from 4+ years ago and an old leather skirt (similar here), as much as possible to keep from shopping but my patience is wearing thin. Miami in 9 days CANT.COME.FAST.ENOUGH.
