You can never go wrong when pairing black and dark denim together for a look. I love the layered panels and flow of this silk blouse from COS. They are so good at chic pieces with interesting details! A neutral bag and shoes add just the right amount of texture and subtle color. What are some of your go-to color combinations for Spring?
My favorite body wash: Byredo – Gypsy Water
Top notes: pepper, lemon, bergamot, juniper berries
Middle notes: orris, incense, pine needles
Base notes: vanilla, amber, sandalwood

You know I love clean lines and minimalistic styling. So when I discovered this crisp white blouse with a vented back shirttail, I immediately added it to my spring wardrobe. I’ve also been swapping out dark denim for lighter blues these past few weeks. Feeling optimistic for Spring. Really, I’m just hoping for warmer weather and fresh blooms in Chicago!
Apparently I’ve been living under a rock! Two weeks ago my husband brought home a bottle of Moroccan Oil – Curl Defining Cream after his haircut. Naturally, I had to try it and it quickly became a favorite! My hair has movement, bouncy curls, and feels extra soft. The argan oil and protein condition the hair and helps to control frizz – hooray! It also has heat-active technology that helps to activate natural curls and keep them bouncy all day. A little bit goes a long way, too. I use less than a lima bean sized amount on damp hair and dry my hair with a hairdryer. A win-win all around!
sweater: Everlane // scarf: Zara // bag: Barneys New York // shades: Marc by Marc Jacobs // sneakers: AHAAS Paris
I’m all about pairing sneakers with elevated basics for a casual look. I love clean lines and classic pieces that are versatile and can be dressed up or down. Back skinny jeans and a white tee are wardrobe essentials. I added an oversized scarf for texture, black sneakers with crisp white laces and my go-to backpack. Easy and chic styling for spring.

Finally transitioning into warmer weather with light knitwear. Loafers and slip-on sneakers are my go-to shoes for spring. For this look I kept it casual with distressed denim, neutral knitwear and black accessories. To keep it feminine, I chose a driving loafer and a brighter lip for a pop of color. What are some of your favorite transition pieces for spring?

It’s always refreshing to switch to lighter aromas and softer colors for Spring. Here are a few of my favorites. I generally stick to a natural palette and will occasionally wear a bold lip or something with extra shine. I’m really loving the Fiona Stiles Lip Balm as of late. It’s the perfect amount of shine to wear alone or layer over a lipstick – and it’s super moistening! Oh, you can never go wrong with a luxe mascara that adds volume with a single stroke!
