Happy Monday! Instead of feeling the Monday blues like I usually do today, I’m feeling happy and excited. After a fun weekend in Austin celebrating my friend Kat’s bachelorette, I’m flying up to Carmel, California this morning for five days of relaxation. Follow me on Instagram to see my adventures while I explore the quaint little beach town! If you have any things you think I must do while I’m there, let me know! All recommendations are welcome!!
I may not have made the best shoe choices packing for New York Fashion Week, but I definitely remembered to bring my Stuart Weitzman 5050 boots. They’re an essential when you’re planning to walk a lot, so these boots are perfect for all kinds of traveling. Particularly since it was so beyond cold, they were very useful this trip. I had originally wanted to wear this pair of pumps by Nicholas Kirkwood with this outfit, but decided last minute not to test them on the NYC slush. Boy am I glad I switched, because I didn’t have a chance to stop back by the apartment the rest of the day! This was certainly my most comfortable outfit at NYFW. A good amount of layering in classic black and white, with just a pop of color from my blue Prada.
PS – congrats to Nikki McCain, winner of the Panasonic Beauty Nanoe Prize Pack! Stay tuned for another amazing giveaway soon!

Adore this look on you! Still dying over this coat, and I had the same debate with shoes in NY but every time I went with flat boots i was always glad i did! lol :) Happy Monday!
This outfit is perfect, and I was so jealous of the beautiful weather in Austin this weekend! xox
You look amazing- love the way you layered and of course I’m in love with that bag…. The boots are a smart chouce- the people who wore heels were a little nutty in my opinion- not weather appropriate and kind of dangerous haha!
