Well, I'm finally back from my unintentional winter hibernation!

With warm weather finally peeking at us here in Michigan, I'm so ready for warm weather and have found some great outfit inspiration on Pinterest! Some items on my wish list include White Converse, light colored,distressed boyfriend jeans and bright fun scarves. What are you looking forward to wearing this spring??

Inspired by PIPERLIME::New Years on a Budget

In search of something to use my 50% Gap coupon on I stumbled onto Piperlime and found their "Girl on a Budget" page. I was shocked to see some really great stuff! I haven't really shopped with Piperlime before and I was very impressed. I've (already) been on the hunt for the perfect New Years Eve ensemble and as I scrolled through I found so many amazing options! What's great is that all the pieces are under $100!!! Check out some of my favorites....

Fall in Annapolis

Yes, I realize Fall is practically over. I've been crazy busy the past few weeks and am just now getting a chance to do some blogging! A few weeks ago I spent a weekend in Annapolis to visit my brother who is a first class (senior) at the Naval Academy. We spent lots of time shopping and taking in the gorgeous scenery and of course had to fit in a photo session! Here are some shots courtesy of my sports photographer Dad turned fashion photographer ;)

I absolutely LOVE this bag. I purchsed it in store and just saw online that it comes in more colors and I am sooo tempted to purchase more! Perfect size and the genuine leather is super soft!

(Purse-Gap, Bracelets-Target, Inital Rings-Lou Lou, Bow Ring-Groopdealz, Polish-OPI Jade is the new black)

(Sweater-Gap/Similar, Denim-Loft Factory/Similar, Boots-Sperry Top-Sider, Necklace-J.Crew)

I promise not to be so absent in the next few weeks ;)

All about food!

Lately I have been all about cooking. My coworkers are amazed at my "fancy" lunches (they're not actually fancy) but really its simple. I like to cook. Its a fun way to spend free time and it typically produces delicious results! I have been into Clean Eating for the past year or so and love experimenting with "clean" alternatives to some of my favorite recipes. Most recently I have been quiche crazy! Tiffany over at The Gracious Pantry has been a healthy eating/cooking inspiration to me for some time and she is always my go-to for new healthy recipes.

I found this super easy quiche recipe and have made a few varieties using this simple guideline. She even has a super simple crust recipe! Be sure to check her out and snag some yummy clean recipes!

Ponte Pant Love

My new favorite Fall piece is the ponte pant. I have been drooling over J.Crew's Pixie Pants for months but just couldn't justify paying the $98 for them. I'm not usually a fan of Old Navy but recently I wandered in on a whim and found SO many great things!! I probably looked like a mad woman racing around the store so excitedly! Their version of the ponte pants fit perfectly and didn't leave a hole in my wallet. For $30 I am so pleased with my purchase. I have already worn them tons of times. I love that they can be dressed up or down. Here are some ways I would style them. Have you fell victim to these fantastic pants??

Two Bloggers: One Fab Shirt

I am so excited to be teaming up with Lauren of Style of One's Own for my first collaboration! A week or so ago all of Instagram was buzzing about this J.Crew inspired Elle top from Kohls. Once I saw it on Lauren's Instagram, I had to have this top! Since she was the one who lead me to it (and because she has great style and a gorgeous blog) a collaboration was a must! I'm loving Lauren's almost dressed down yet fancy ensemble! I think she is (again) influencing me to invest in some olive pants ;) 

Don't forget to head over to Style of One's Own for her outfit details!
