Friends! I'm back on the East Coast and I am loving. this. foliage. I'm headed out with my friend crush Victoria after this post is published (and I get my tooth fixed at the dentist...), and today is sure to be an adventure. Tonight I'll finally be reunited with my loves Raven and Charlie! I did the impossible, today, friends. I found an affordable alternative to the most coveted booties of all time:

Rag & Bone Harrow Booties // Dolce Vita Haelyn Booties

The above boots by Rag & Bone are my favorite boots in the entire world. Here's a shoot I did with them. Love them though I do, they are SO expensive, and keep appreciating in cost as their popularity grows. I bought them for almost $100 less 6 months ago. Luckily, Dolce Vita just released a dead ringer for more than half the price. What thinks you?

Friends, Happy Monday. Wednesday is LRW's birthday and there is A LOT going on that day (read: prizes). So please keep comin' back this week (and every week, cuz I luh ya).

xoxo,

I'm the type of gal who needs to see something to believe it's possible. I don't, admittedly, get zaps of inspiration from sitting and staring out the window. I like my inspiration a click away, walking down the street, or materializing from a conversation with someone awesome (this happens a lot with friends :).

The outfit above is something I normally would never consider for myself. I'm typically more inclined to fitted silhouettes and a darker palate, but I was inspired while making my blog rounds! Everything a little oversized and neutral, which leaves lots of room to admire the pedicure I know everyone got this weekend (we think, we hope, we feel that spring has finally sprung!). Note to self: wear more silk scarves.

Are you guys feeling this outfit? What trend or sartorial idea has you wanting to mix it up lately?
