leopard & leather

  

Top: H&M; Skirt: Forever 21; Shoes: Rag & Bone; Jewelry: Michele, Sarah Chloe, David Yurman, Coordinates Collection

I've wanted Rag & Bone booties for a while now, but I never thought I would be walking out of Nordstrom's with a white pair!  I walked into the store a week ago to shop for my mom's birthday gift & ended up with a gift for myself.  I know white has potential to be a seasonal color, but the crocodile material & the chunky wooden heel of the boot sold me on them & made me view them as more of a neutral.  I already have a ton of outfits in mind for this summer & can picture them as a pop of winter white once the weather gets colder.  (Plus, the white pair was 50% off! How could I turn that down???)

Shop the look: White Booties (plus Rag & Bone on sale!)

BOYFRIEND JEANS & BIRKENSTOCKS

While everyday in my office is casual, Fridays for me are all about comfort.  I wore a look similar to this for date night a while back; I love the ability to make jeans & a t-shirt look dressed up & edgy or cool & casual based on my hairstyle & accessories.

Skirt: Francesca's; Top: American Apparel; Sandals: Sam Edelman (similar); Jewelry: Scrabble Jewelry, Marc by Marc Jacobs, C Wonder

I came across this skirt in one of my favorite boutiques, Francesca's, recently. I was drawn to the colors & abstract pattern of it & have been loving anything midi-length this season.  While in the store,  I found out that this piece was created as part of Oscar Garcia Lopez's capsule collection for Project Runway: Under the Gunn.  I am a huge fan of the show Project Runway & was even more excited to have this skirt once I found this out. You can shop the the collection here. Let me know if you purchase any pieces of your own!

utility jacket

Hope everyone had a great weekend!  I love how versatile a LBD (little black dress) can be (see how I've styled mine in the past, here & here).  For a chillier spring day, I belted a utility-style jacket over my dress & added gold accessories for a luxe yet casual look.

Dress: Francesca's; Jacket: Forever 21 (similar); Sandals: Sam Edelman; Sunglasses: Ray Ban; Jewelry: Marc by Marc Jacobs, Francesca's (similar)

We had lots of family time this weekend celebrating my mother's birthday! Lots of people talk about how their Mom is their 'BFF,' but mine isn't, she's my mommy.  She's there for me when I need advice, love or support.  She still cooks me dinner & folds my laundry & takes me on shopping trips to the mall.  She truly does it all for my family & me. My mom is so much more than any friend could ever be.  Happy belated Mom!

Dress up your LBD with a utility jacket & gold sandals:

As you must know by now, I am loving all shades of pink this season.  Usually, I allow the pink to be the stand out piece & wear neutrals colors in the rest of my outfit (see an example here), but I was feeling bright & cheery last week & paired this pink & orange dress with red flats for a full color-blocked outfit.  I love the drama of this outfit, but that it's still appropriate for day time.

PS. I finally created a Facebook fan page for Michelle's Paige.  Check it out & like it here to keep up with the latest postings!  Thank you; Thank you :)

TWO WAYS TO WEAR: OVERALLS

Last Friday, I posted Sarah & I wearing the same dress in different ways (catch up on that post here). It just so happens great minds think alike when it comes to getting dressed, because we both chose to wear these overalls over the weekend.  Check out Sarah's neon look.

Overalls: Express (on sale!); Sneakers: Vans; Sunglasses: Ray Ban; Jewelry: Forever 21

Note: I probably could have done this post on my own since my overalls have been getting plenty of use since their arrival 2 weeks ago.  I've worn them a cover-up on the beach, to a family BBQ & on a weekend shopping trip, just to name a few. But it's so much more fun creating a post with my sister's involvement. Check out one of the ways I've worn these great overalls below. 

Overalls: Express; Jacket: Forever 21; Sandals: Sam Edelman; Sunglasses: Ray Ban; Jewelry: Scrabble Jewelry, Forever 21

Will you be purchasing overalls this season?  How would you style them?

LEOPARD ON THE BEACH

Top: Forever 21; Shorts: Urban Outfitters (similar); Jewelry: Nomination, Coordinates Collection, Francesca's

J & I had a rare, coinciding day off last week.  We decided to take advantage of our free time & head out to East Hampton for a night.  Unfortunately, the weather was less than stellar, but that didn't stop us from taking a trip to the beach in the morning.  We spent the rest of the day eating lunch in Sag Harbor, shopping in East Hampton & visiting with my family.  Not the worst way to spend a day if you ask me ;) 

XO,
Michelle Paige
