Outfit: Burgundy & Neon

This top (also seen here) is clearly becoming a new favorite. I wore this outfit to school last week and feel like it's the perfect casual look! Btw, I scored these boots for $10!

Outfit: Lace Skirt

OMG this is my 100th post, you guys! This look is so different for me, personally. I guess it's my spin on office wear - since I'm graduating in a few short weeks, and all! :-0 When I used to work, before grad school, I would never stick to the typical blacks/greys/blues. I always loved wearing colors. So, this is me prepping myself for when I'm back in the workforce - which will be soon, hopefully. The great thing about this outfit is that it's totally work appropriate (even without a blazer!) and can still be worn straight to happy hour!

Outfit: Coral & Turquoise

I love that the colors on this dress are so intense! As I had mentioned in this post, this dress is one of the 3 items I ended up keeping from the Prabal for Target collection. I absolutely love the dress, my only issue is that it gets wrinkled. I feel like this is the perfect outfit for work, or a Sunday brunch!

Btw, if you follow me in Instagram or Twitter, you might have seen that I got a new haircut last week. I've got a few more outfit posts from before the new haircut so I'll debut the new 'do on the blog next week! :)

Outfit: Emerald Shoes

This blog has moved.

These shoes are one of my absolute favorites - I bought them a few years ago and it was totally meant to be. The thing is, I had been eyeing them for a while but didn't wanna spend the full price. So, one day I was at the mall with Sheela when we saw that Steve Madden had a Spin The Wheel sale. I figured why not give it a shot? Well, I won 40% off of one item and I bought these shoes! They also just happen to be in Pantone's 2013 color of the year!

April's Covet List

Bag / Dress / Boots / Bracelet / Pants / Necklace

Bag: Y'all probably already recognize the bag! I've always wanted this bag and I absolutely love it in this beautiful, pastel color!

Dress: Well, black & white is one of THE hottest trend this spring. What I love about this dress is that the white part is actually faux leather. I already have another piece in white faux leather and I feel like it's the perfect mix of summer+girly+edgy.

Boots: These boots are pretty much a far more affordable version of the Chloë studded boots. I absolutely love them - they're super versatile and edgy.

Bracelet: I am sort of obsessed with animal bangles of this kind, and I already own a couple (seen here, here, here, here, to mention a few). J.Crew puts out a new animal bangle every season and I love each and every one. This one, however, is a bit special because I've always been in awe of dolphins - they fascinate me!

Pants: Military-inspired is another huge trend this spring so, I feel like I pretty much need these ankle skinnies, no?

Necklace: You might have noticed in some of my recent posts (like this one) that lately I've been gotten into stacking multiple little pendant necklaces. I've gathered quite a few necklaces and this would be the perfect addition!

What are you coveting right now?

Outfit: Yellow Blouse

Happy Monday, lovies! You know I just realized I've been so drawn to yellow lately - I've posted quite a few outfits recently with yellow tops. So, this will have to be the last of it - it's time to stop the discrimination! Anyways, I wanna share something with you guys ....

Casual Friday Outfit: Studded Sweatshirt

Happy Good Friday, guys!! I'm not a typically one to wear sweatshirts, unless I'm working out or bumming at home. This sweatshirt, however, is a different story. Not only is it super cozy and comfortable, it's also cute and edgy! AND it's in a pretty easter color!

Outfit: Bright Pants

OMG I scored these ankle pants at H&M, for $7, last week and I am obsessed with the color - aren't they amazeballs? I wore this outfit while running errands yesterday and then to dinner dinner, last night - though I actually ended up carrying a small crossbody bag to dinner. You'll be seeing a lot more of these pants on the blog because I pretty much wanna wear them everyday!

Outfit: Floral Jeans

I know the first day of Spring was last week but it didn't actually feel like Spring until yesterday. So, I decided to go all out, in my floral pants.

Outfit: Black & White Stripes + Neon

Although, I've rocked black and white stripes before (here and here), I feel like they're kinda tricky to wear. A lot of the tops and pants I've seen look like the footlocker uniform and that, most definitely, is not the look I want. So, when Kristina, of Pretty Shiny Sparkly, posted that the next Bloggers Do It Better challenge is Black & White stripes, I wasn't sure if I would be linking up. That was, until I found this skirt! These stripes are perfect and it's an adorable skirt - this outfit makes me miss the Seaside Heights boardwalk in the summer!

Trend Alert: Military Inspired

Happy Monday, guys! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! I had spring break last week but it wasn't nearly as exciting as I had thought it would be. I spent the first half packing for and stressing about a trip that never happened. The second half was spend being sick, recovering from it, and unpacking from that trip that never happened. Anyways, I have a midterm tomorrow so I spent the weekend attempting to study for it! Jealous? Right! I bet your regular work weeks were more exciting than my spring break!

It wasn't all bad though! As mentioned in my Easter Finds post, I participated in a group giveaway, and I have a ton of new followers! So, before we talk about today's post, I want to welcome all my new followers - I hope you guys will enjoy Stilettos & Sequins! Also, have you guys listened to Justin Timberlake's new album? I mean, I had it on repeat alllll weekend! OK, moving on to today's post ....

Military-inspired is definitely one of my top five favorite Spring 2013 Trends! Personally, I feel like this would be more of a Fall/Winter trends but I'm more than happy to rock it this spring! As I had mentioned in this post, when I like a trend, I like to add 1 or 2 versatile pieces for that trend to my wardrobe. It's the best way to get your wardrobe ready for that season! So, I've picked out some of my favorite military-inspired pieces to help you update your wardrobe!

Maxi Dress / Scarf / Earrings / Bag / Short Dress / Wedge Booties / Camo Pants / Flats / Eagle Necklace / Camo Tee
Sandals / Dog tag Necklace / Khaki Green Pants / Embellished Camo Jacket / Combat Boots

I wish I could buy each of these items but if I had to pick one, I would probably pick the scarf - you guys already know about my neon obsession, don't you? So, which of these pieces is your favorite?

Birthday Party: Black & White Leather

So, my birthday is coming up on tomorrow but I actually celebrated last Saturday. I was so hot and cold about my party this year that I didn't actually decide on an outfit until the day before. Once I had this outfit figured out, though, I was super excited. I love that it combines two of my absolute favorite Spring 2013 trends - Black & White, and (faux) Leather!

I actually went to a day party this year and was able to take some pictures before we headed out.

Outfit: Stripes + A Dash of Green

I'm so proud of my mom - she's gotten so good at taking pictures. She randomly captured this and I love how you can see the bag's super cute lining! Btw, it was a little windy when I took these pictures so, please pardon the messy hair.

Outfit: All About The Bag

You know how there are certain pieces that just deserve to have an entire outfit planned around them? Well, I feel like this bag is one of those. Yesterday was supposed to be warm and sunny so I thought I could wear this outfit but it turned out to be cold and gloomy. Clearly, I'm already in Spring mode.

Outfit: Florals & Brights

Happy Thirsty Thursday, lovies! So, do any of you guys know how to interpret dreams? Sometimes, I have the craziest dreams and I have no idea why. Case in point - the dream I had last night. It's like I was basically in that movie 2012 - floods everywhere, people running for their lives, lights going out, everyone screaming. It was kinda scary and I wonder why I had such a dream and what it means. Maybe it's because things have been very chaotic for me the past couple weeks?

Anyways, on to the outfit - I'm so excited to debut my favorite skirt from the Prabal Gurung for Target collection! I love everything about this skirt - it's such a great basic piece!

PS - Stop by tomorrow for my trend predictions for the Oscars this Sunday, and the 20 dresses I would love to see on the red carpet!

Outfit: Black & White + Sequins

Hey lovies! So, I had gotten this skirt a while ago and I love it but I couldn't figure out how to style it. Then, a couple weeks ago, while cleaning my closet - I found this shirt and I absolutely had to try this combo. I wanted to style it with patent leather brogues, for a menswear inspired look. Since black & white is such a huge trend for spring, I figured I'd make this a monochromatic look (except the coat, of course!)

Aaaaaand there's the hair tie again! I have GOT to remember to take that off when I take pictures! Lol. Btw - see my review of the Prabal Gurung for Target collection here, and how I styled one of the pieces from the collection here!

OOTD: Blush & Neon

I wish this picture wasn't blurry!

Happy Monday, lovies! Did you guys watch the Superbowl yesterday? I'm a Giants fan but since they didn't make it, I was rooting for the Ravens so I was so excited they won!!

Moving along .... I'm kinda obsessed with these pumps (scored for under $15!) and the bag! By the way, this blouse used to have one of those bow things around the neck - I cut it coz I just don't like that look on me but I loved this blouse! Btw, this could totally be a Valentine's Day outfit, no?

Spring 2013 Wardrobe Update

With a new season, we have new trends and these trends change so rapidly that's it tough to always keep up and update your wardrobe to match every trend! I have a couple rules about this - 1. Remember you don't HAVE to follow every trends. 2. You don't have to flood your wardrobe with the new trends every season. What I typically do is buy 1 or 2 pieces for each trend that I'm loving.

Let's talk about Spring 2013. I'm so excited because as much as I love brights and florals (and I do LOVE brights & florals), it's great to see some fun, new trends! I'm gonna stick with 3 of my faves for this season - Black & White, Stripes, and Leather. I've picked some of my favorite pieces for each trend.

PS - As mentioned in this post, I'm on a 2-month shopping ban. So, this was not easy for me - I want literally every single piece! You guys have fun shopping on my behalf! :)

Black & White

Bag / Flats / Pumps / Skirt / Dress / Pants / Top / Necklace

Stripes

Dress / Skirt / Bag / Jeans / Scarf / Shoes / Top

Leather

Vegan Skirt / Dress / Pants / Corset Top / Jacket / Peplum Top

Well, happy wardrobe update!

Spring 2013 Trend Report

New York Fashion Week has come and gone, like a whirlwind! I spent the past couple days looking at all the collections and figuring out top trends for next season. I always find it so interesting that even with all these designers creating independently, we are able to find trends that are common in their collections!

Also, as a budget shopper, I love the timing of NYFW. You get to know about next season's trends, just in time for the end-of-season sales! So,  take advantage of the fab discounts and stock up for next season!

That said, here are the top trends, emerging from the NYFW runways, for Spring/Summer 2013 -

Black & White
