I’ve had my spring dresses and sandals locked and loaded for several weeks now, but there’s still quite a bit of chill in the air. Consequently, I’m relaying heavily on transitional pieces like ankle boots and layering up like a pro (I bet you didn’t even notice the carefully camouflaged cardigan I’m wearing under my jacket).

Believe it or not, shopping for jeans is one of my least favorite activities. The sizing is all over the place, and let’s face it: no new pair ever fits like your trusty old ones that have been broken-in to perfection. In any case, I was in dire need of a new pair when I finally broke down and bought these leather-like concoctions. As it turns out, there was no need to fret at all because this pair fit like a glove as soon as I put them on (and didn’t stretch out over the two days in a row that I wore them!). And dare I say they look a little bad@$$?!

I’m a HUGE fan of the LWD for warmer months, and I’m excited to reveal the latest addition to my collection. The billowy sleeves and gold lurex dots are what completely sold me on this dress (not to mention the sale price!), and I can definitely see it becoming my go-to piece when I need to get all fancy this summer.
I also want to tell you guys about my new clutch (first seen here). I’ve been wanting a really nice, go-to evening purse for a couple of years now. Since I could never settle on one that didn’t break the bank, I always wound up just getting a cheap-y bag from Forever 21 or H&M and then not really loving it a short while later. But that all changed once I discovered Judith Leiber’s Overture collection. I’ve long admired the brand’s pricier, crystal-laden pieces that are more like works of art. However, the hefty price tag always kept them out of my clutches (pun intended). Luckily, the Overture bags start at a MUCH more palatable price point but still boist great quality and design. I couldn’t be more pleased with my bag, and I look forward to carrying it for years to come.
