Living on the Edge

I think I'm turning over a new leaf. I just turned 36 years old on Monday (oy!) and can you believe that this is the first (faux) leather jacket I have ever owned? I have so many sweet and girly looks...but nothing with much edge. Things are gonna change, because I'm loving this look! Don't you?

faux leather jacket: H&M, plaid dress: Zara, tights: ASOS, booties: Design Lab from Lord & Taylor

I picked up this pleather jacket at H&M the other day and I adore it. I have been looking high and low for a jacket like this without the belt (ugh I hate those). This specific jacket is so insanely soft, a great weight, and I love the cut and detailing! I'm kicking myself as they have a similar style on their website that is on sale. Looks like the cut might be slightly different and the lining isn't the same. But it's $20 cheaper than I paid...argh!

This dress is new too. I stopped by Zara earlier this week and they were having their mid season sale. Have you guys checked it out? So many items were 50% off! I got this dress for only $12 and change. YES!!!

I hope you all have a lovely weekend. As you can see, here in NYC the snow and ice are still slowly melting. At least it is going to be in the 60's today...so get out there and enjoy the day in between all the rain. Later on I'm meeting up with a friend that is taking me out for a belated birthday coffee and pie. Mmmmm...pie.

Romantic Ruffles

A beautiful trend is coming our way this spring, and I can't get enough of it. I'm talking about ruffles. Adding ruffles to any piece of clothing instantly makes your look seem more feminine and chic. It's a very easy way to update your wardrobe to look on trend.

Here are some of my favorite ruffle look-

Pencil Skirt with Ruffles available at Zara- $49.90

Petra Ruffled Open-Shoulder Dress by Varun Bahl available at Anthropologie- $228

One Shoulder Ruffled Sleeve Shirt available at Pixie Market- $52

Floral Ruffle Midi Dress available at Express- $69.90

Flute Sleeve Lace Dress available at Topshop- $70

What do you think of ruffles? Will you be trying this trend any time soon? How do you plan on wearing it?

Color Correct from Hard Candy

I'm so excited to share Hard Candy's new Color Correct line with my readers. Recently my friends at Hard Candy sent over a few of these products and I can't get enough!

*products were provided to me but opinions are my own

This limited edition collection of color correcting primers and concealers helps get ride of acne spots, dark spots, and dry skin. What's so great about this line is that it has a Color Correct Expert Stick, Radiant Primer, and Expert Creme Wand for every skin tone (they all come in six different shades).

I have to say, the primer is fantastic. The yellow tinted primer helps neutralize redness in your skin...and it really, really works.The best part is they are only $5 each!

Don't forget that this line is a limited edition...so get it while you can. Hard Candy is available at Walmart.
