Too Cool for School...

The backpack isn't just for school these days! And no, I'm not talking about the Jansport of the 90's...there are so many more stylish and versitile options to choose from now. I'm thinking I need to snag up the red tassel bag from Modcloth to use as my new "carry on" when traveling! What about you...would you sport a backpack off campus? If so, which one is your favorite?

These lovely ladies are showing us just how to rock the print pant and I personally, cant wait to get my hands on a pair. I know these may be a lil' too daring for some, but Anh shows us that you can still wear them in a subtle and work appropriate way. But if your brave enough, you can go all out like Krystal, in head to toe floral. So go bold with a pointy toe heel, bright colored blouse and your favorite neon clutch, or just let the pants make the statement with nude pumps, a white button-down and a classic trench. Either way, these are sure to turn heads!

Impromptu trip to SD

 So last Thursday my girlfriend Megan and I made the last minute decision to head out to San Diego for the weekend. Sort of a pre-Valentine girls trip! :) It was a quick one but lots of fun! I miss the ocean already!

When it comes to cards, I love searching for the perfect one. The one with just the right words, for just the right person. I'd much rather receive a thoughtful card over a gift any day. So with Valentine's Day just around the corner, here are a few sweet and quirky card ideas for that special someone.

Spring trend...Anklets?

Cuffs

Love Anklet

Red Threads

 

Even the boys are doin' it.

 So as the temps (and hemlines) start to rise you may notice the anklet making it's reappearance. They've been spotted on celebs, your favorite style bloggers and even men are giving it their spin. And I gotta say, I am all in favor of this trend! You can go bold like Krystal in her cuffs or keep it dainty like the sweet "love" anklet from Shopbop. Either way, make sure your showin' your feet some love this spring!

What's your take, are anklets a go...or a no?
