OUTFIT {STRIPES & RIDING BOOTS}

CB Luxe earrings c/o  //  Saint James striped tee  //  Michael Kors watch

Rag & Bone jeans  //  Kate Spade riding boots (on sale!)

A standard everyday look: striped shirt, skinny jeans, riding boots... And my new favorite watch. It was my favorite Christmas present and I've been wearing it literally every day since. There's a lot to be said for investing in pieces you'll use a ton. Some of my best purchases in 2013 were this coat, this jacket, and this entire outfit. What was yours?!

TRUE BLUE

one  //  two (on sale)  //  three  //  four  //  five  //  six  //  seven (splurge-worthy)  // eight ($28!)

Blue has been my favorite color for as long as I can remember. My favorite crayon was Cerulean, my childhood bedroom is plastered in blue Marimekko (#cringe), and I inherited my mother's love of all things navy blue. This combination of navy and hydrangea blue (or Carolina blue, as some of you have informed me!) remains one of my all-time favorites. In fact, if my entire wardrobe consisted only of these two colors and a little white for good measure, I'd be completely content. Shop these picks and a few other true blue favorites below:
