J Brand 9610 Skinny Jeans

I've had these Puma sneakers for quite some time and something inside me told me to pull them out on this day and wear them.  We headed for our favorite running and biking trail in a location we always wanted to shoot near this old run-down red barn.

Puma Sneakers

I have been on a sneakers kick lately and the latest sneakers I have been wearing are these pink and gray ones by Puma.  I matched my entire outfit to the shoes because I love them so much.  This ensemble is something I would typically wear to run errands.  I like to look cute, but casual and comfortable so I can get everything done.  Gray jeans from J Brand and a pink burnout tank from Karen Zambos Vintage Couture are soft pieces to wear every day, while the cashmere hoodie from Rock & Republic takes the place of a jacket on a chilly spring day.  White sunglasses added a fun feel to the entire look.  You can subscribe to my YouTube channel to see all my videos.

 

Helmut Lang Leggings

Pumps are still heavy on my mind so I slipped on my patent leather ones from Alejandro Ingelmo.

Rock & Republic Blazer

 

A blazer, tee, and leggings is a classic look and when I cannot find anything to wear and I am running low on inspiration I always resort back to that simple combination.  You will always look chic and sophisticated in this ensemble.  My leggings are leather combo leggings meaning some parts of them have leather panels and other parts have this stretchy jersey material.  On top I wore a basic white pocket tee and one of my favorite black blazers with leather trim.  A statement necklace from Chanel and some black patent pumps finished off the look.  You can subscribe to my YouTube channel to see all my videos.

I admit that I am a little in love with all things Missoni, M Missoni, and even resembling Missoni prints.  I bought these shorts on Shopbop when they first debuted on the site and I was waiting and waiting for a warm day to wear them outside without tights, but that day never came so now you get to see them inside with tights.  They are way too sparkly and adorable and high waisted to wait around for a sunny day.  I actually am surprised at how great they look with the tights.  The shorts themselves are very thick and well constructed.  The neutral tones are good for matching with many items already in my closet.  You saw me wearing a different pair of M Missoni knit shorts last year on Fashion Snag without tights.

Since I was wearing so little on the bottom I wanted to cover up the top a bit more.  I opted for this drapey white tank top from Tea Leaf Clothing.  As you know, LnA makes some great basics and this tank top is nice and lightweight so you can wear it alone in the summer when it's really hot or pair it up with a businesslike blazer now.  I personally love it worn underneath this blazer because it subdues the shorts a little bit due to all the extra draping in the front.  It is a nice addition to have peeking out between your lapels.  This Rock & Republic blazer was the buy of a lifetime.  It is extremely well made, lined in silk, and it has leather trim.  I remember it was one of the first black blazers I bought and at the time I thought it would be very versatile.  It has proved to be a timeless piece and because it is high quality it has held up quite well.  I wore my Prada suede ankle strap platform sandals.  The heel on these gets me every time.  You saw them worn a couple weeks ago on the blog without tights.  I wish the weather was still that wonderful!

My boyfriend and I took these photos just before heading out of the house on one of the warmest days yet here in Denver.  I wore my new Rock & Republic alicia ankle boots.  These had just come in the mail and I could not wait to rip the box open.  I snagged them off of RueLaLa for such a low price during a recent sale.  Rock & Republic used to make their shoes in Italy, but now they are made in China.  I find the quality to still be very good, but the shoes are a little lighter than some of my Italian made ankle boots.  The price was right and I think they are so edgy and comfortable.  They have a leather cap toe and then more leather around the ankle and the rest is suede.  These also come in gray suede.  I haven't seen them around anywhere else for the same price I paid, but if you do some google searches these booties are still up for sale.  The zipper is a dagger, which I think makes the wedge unique.  You should join Rue La La if you haven't done so yet because the final sales are fabulous.

I wore my new wedges with a Spring & Clifton mini skirt.  I call this my jailbird skirt.  It is short and has black and white stripes and frankly I call it as I see it.  Spring & Clifton calls this a rumour mini skirt.  I guess we will have to compromise.  This was my first Spring & Clifton purchase and the quality is very good.  I saw the skirt pop up in the new arrivals section at Revolve Clothing and I am a sucker for a stretchy, body-comforming knit mini skirt so I snagged it immediately.  Stripes are always in and especially for summer.  The skirt is pretty thick and well-made so I will be watching for more things from Spring & Clifton in the future.

I wore the jailbird striped skirt with an LnA swing tank that Karina from Tea Leaf Clothing sent me.  This tank is best paired with a form-fitting bottom to really accentuate the hemline.  I really liked how it looked with the striped mini.  It is a basic top to have in your closet for summer and the jersey material is very soft against the skin.  For jewelry, I wore a vintage stone bracelet that hasn't come off my wrist all week and a CEEK jewelry hamsa diamond necklace in gold.
