Life on the Wild Side

Forever 21 Blazer | Forever 21 Dress | Mossimo for Target Booties | Express Clutch

Bare legs and booties are a wild combo for cold weather, especially when there's a blizzard in the mix. Thankfully, South Florida's blizzard effects consisted of 60-degree temps and clear skies, so bare legs and booties with a flowing knee-length dress were more than acceptable.

Keep warm, kiddos.

A Modest Take // Return to Retro

From the looks of things, retro styles including fringe, bucket bags and suede are making a comeback for the transition from winter to spring. Tees and crossbody bags are already on my favorites list, and if I feel brave, I may dabble in fringe. Which return trends are you most likely to try out?

Holding Sunshine

H&M Blouse | The Limited Skirt | Zara Shoes | Zara Clutch

I own a lot of clutch bags, all of which I adore for various reasons. This one makes me particularly happy because of its large size, optional straps for when I don't feel like "clutching," and it's the perfect shade of yellow. Makes me feel like I'm holding sunshine.

Speaking of sunshine, it's been a bit "chilly" this week in South Florida, ranging the mid-60s to the low-70s. Ya'll bundle up, now.

Simple Favorites

Zara Dress | River Island Shoes via ASOS | Love,Cortnie Clutch

Simple dress, black pumps and a leopard print clutch (because leopard is a neutral). 

Sometimes all a favored girl needs is a few favorites to style an outfit.

Family First

I thought it fitting for my first post of the year to feature what's dearest to me – my family. These photos are from an impromptu shoot we took today. We dressed Adam up in some new threads and decided he was too cute for us not to get in on the action. So, we made it a family thing for New Year's Day. 

The way it should be.

Happy New Year, from my family to yours.
