The weather is warming up and it's time to lose the winter coat! Say goodbye to winter and hello spring! I got this wool coat mid-season at the USE UNUSED sample sale and it's kept me incredibly warm. I love the fit - all I had to do was get the sleeves tailored, which I got done after I shot this look. This was by far the best sale find to date - a $1300 coat for $110! My winter coats are always black, so I never thought I'd opt for a rose-colored coat until I tried it on. I'm afraid I'm going to get something on this coat because of the light color, but this season I managed to avoid any emergency trips to my dry cleaner.

The Mosaic silver shoes of course are from one of my favorite shoe brands, United Nude. I also have their Mosaic black peep toe shoes. If you are a size 35 like me, you should definitely check out United Nude. I have at least 10 pairs of their shoes! 

The Rave Metal Clutch is by Glass Handbag, which has a built in electroluminescent light with batteries! Glass Handbag also has satchels and crossbody bags. One of their satchels or totes would be great for an everyday bag.

So I guess this look is my way of celebrating Rose Quartz as Pantone Color of the Year. Now I just have to see if I have any blue hues that would work for Serenity.

Fall Style Post Featuring USE UNUSED, Brahmin and Swarovski

Top: USE UNUSED

Skirt: USE UNUSED

Shoes: Calvin Klein

Clutch: Brahmin

Sunglasses: Swarovski

I wish 70 degrees weather was here to stay. Before the temps drops and it gets time for knits and layering, I enjoyed wearing soft neutral tones and prints one last time. I love the asymmetrical cut of this USE UNUSED printed cotton shirt. It's easy to wear with a skirt or jeans. The one thing I love most about this skirt - I can drive to work or sit on a plane in it and it doesn't ever wrinkle!  Yellow is a color you'll never really find in my wardrobe but I do love the combination of yellow and grey. This lightweight Bryant Clutch in Creme Saint Germaine by Brahmin is the perfect match for my outfit, and has a chic, zippered foldover style. The Swarovski sunglasses effortlessly adds a touch of glamour to any outfit.

This summer I'm staying cool in lightweight neutrals, pairing taupe and white for those hot and humid days. USE UNUSED has quickly become one of my favorite designers in the past year, and the soft watercolor print on this skirt is one of my favorites for summer.
