Valentino Resort 2014 Review

I know that the Valentino Resort 2014 collection runway show took place some time ago but, better late then never - right?
I stumbled across some pictures of this collection and fell in love with the preppy, relaxed and spring time feel. I also like how versatile these pieces are and how you can pair just about anything from this collection with garments that you most likely already have in your closet.This collection is also very inspirational and I am starting to come up with some chic outfit ideas based off of some of these looks. I love winter but all of these snow storms are starting to get really old very fast and I cannot wait for spring to come! Honestly, it was hard for me to pick my favorite looks from this collection but I narrowed it down to just a few. Here are some of the looks I absolutely adore (to see the full collection see the Vogue link below).









I love the color choices in this collection- your basic neutrals mixed with very light creme whites and very soft pinks, greens and yellows. The beautiful floral prints and embroidery are very unique and not your average "spring florals". Overall I can definitely see myself and others taking inspiration from this collection and incorporating these looks into our own wardrobe.

Girls just want to have fun!

Happy Wednesday! These pictures are from a couple weeks ago when I was hanging out with my friend Brianna, who I introduced to the blog recently.
Brianna is a very talented photographer and is hopefully making her very own blog soon. If you are interested in looking at more of Brianna's photos check out her Flickr!







In these pictures I am wearing a Gap sweater with the sleeves rolled up a little, I think it adds contrast because the inside is a lighter color than the outside. I went very casual here, with a pair of jeans rolled up at the ankle and my black Superga sneakers.
