I've had these Zara snakeskin slip-on sneakers on repeat ever since I found them on Poshmark...#sorrynotsorry; they're seriously perfect because they're so unique and cool, and at the same time insanely comfy--perfect for being on my feet all day at work!

And today I found the perfect shirt (also Zara, found on Poshmark), to go with it for a playful mix of patterns: buffalo check and snakeskin for the win!

Both are pieces I probably would have never thought to even buy myself had I not seen them on Poshmark!

I have to admit it, I'm addicted to Poshmark.  I love shopping, and I love the idea that I can sell the clothes I don't wear anymore, and sell them to a girl who would love to rock it for her own closet.  And the fact that it's super easy is an added perk!  ;)

Seriously, everything is done through the app, and because they take a small commission (either $2.95 for items listed under $15, or 20% of anything over $15), Poshmark takes care of the shipping (one of the perks from them taking commission; perfect considering how much it costs to ship things nowadays!), all you have to do is print out the label (and P.S. you can get boxes for FREE from the post office, either if you walk in, or you can order online and have them shipped to your house!).  Even better?  You can schedule pick ups from your house, so you don't even have to shlep to the post office to drop off any packages you're shipping out!  Perfect for my fellow busy bees!

All you need to do is download (for free!  Download here for iPhone, and here for Android), use code PNXBH to get a $10 credit towards your first purchase!

All set?  Round up everything in your closet...if you haven't worn it in forever, even though you convince yourself it might look nice in the future if you can just the right top or bottom to go with it--sell it!  Poshmark is a great way to spring clean your closet and earn some extra money (which you can either get direct deposited into your bank account, or get sent to you as a check)!  It's as easy as taking a picture of the item, writing a brief description, setting a price (that's right, you get to set your prices!), and listing.

There's so many awesome features to the app, that I can't cover them all, but you'll have so much fun playing around with buying and selling!

You can't do a shoot at a park and not swing on the swings, right??  haha :P

Have you downloaded Poshmark yet (remember, to get your $10 credit, used code PNXBH when you sign up!)?  :)

Fancy Pants Snow Day

Nothing's better than waking up and finding out that you have a snow day!

I typically pick out my outfits the night before, and then when I woke up this morning to texts that work was cancelled.  Hallelujah!  I love being able to just sit in bed when I wake up, no rush to be anywhere.  However, I wanted to at least try and be somewhat productive, and to do that I had to change out of my PJs (aka my fave aerie joggers and one of Richie's tees, haha), so I swapped my sweats for something a little (a lot) cuter, but that would still be super comfy (it is a snow day after all, and I think comfiness is a snow day rule)--why let a super cute outfit go to waste?  So I sucked it up and braved the snow and get some cute pics!  It wasn't too bad...except when my tripod fell phone screen down into the snow...that's when I knew it was time to get back in the house and get back into my joggers, haha.

This combo of leggings and a fun sweater is the perfect outfit for pretty much anywhere: work, running errands, hanging out with friends, or in my case, bumming it in the house all day.

A girl can never have too many sunnies!  My collection is growing fast, and these super cute aerie heart shaped frames are one of my absolute favorites!  They have the classic tortoise shell frames, but with a fun heart shape.

I literally just got these fabulous snakeskin sneaks yesterday and was planning on wearing them out today...and then it snowed an insane amount early this morning, so no work, haha.  But what better time to break in new shoes, than on a snow day?!

Gold details are my favorite accessories to add a little bit of sparkle to any outfit without having to go overboard; a two piece ring set and my favorite Fossil watch (c/o) are more than enough to dress up my snow day outfit without being too flashy.  Simple gold accessories are classic and timeless, perfect for dressing up a sweater/jeans outfit!

Richie got me an Instax Mini for Christmas and decided to break it out for some snow day fun!

It's a blazer...it's a cape...!

...it's a blazer cape!

I'm seriously loving all things involving capes: caped dresses and the hybrid, blazer cape...I want them all!

A good blazer cape gives you that cool girl, NYFW going fashionista feel of a jacket just casually thrown over your shoulders, but with zero of the effort.  I don't know about you, but I'm super jealous of those chic as hell bloggers who can pull off that leather jacket over the shoulders, super casual look.  I've tried it myself.  Turns out, it's a lot harder than it looks...and I'll need to practice more, haha.  But the blazer cape makes it super easy to pull off the same look, but allows you to keep the blazer on your shoulders the whole day!

When the weather's kinda yucky and it's just grey and overcast, I love wearing really bright, fun shoes to lift my mood.  Plus it's a total conversation started!  Whenever I wear these metallic oxfords I always get compliments.

Pom Poms + Circumstance

Don't you just love a good mail day?  I just scored these AWESOME pom pom flats from ASOS for next to nothing (on sale right now for $21!!!)!!

Even though these shoes are more trendy than classic, you can't say no to a great pair of shoes that are only $21.  Typically my rule for buying new shoes is, classic styles that are also great quality, is a splurge item, and I don't mind paying extra for.  But certain trendy items, that might not be on trend for more than a season or two (or maybe three), I'd rather not pay the big bucks for.  What I usually do is try and have some patience and wait for my favorite trendy pieces to go on sale before I buy them; which isn't hard to do considering many stores send their new items to sale after only a few weeks, which will save you the big bucks in the long run and you won't feel so guilty getting rid of them when the trend passes.

I'm totally into the pom pom craze right now!  They're such a fun detail, and depending on how they're styled, can also be super chic and stylish without being silly.

I've already gotten so many compliments on them on my first wear!

These are the perfect flats for a casual outfit like today's because they add some edginess and sophisticated whimsy to an otherwise plain outfit.

Sleek, Chic + Furry

First of all, I'm really, super excited Halloween is tomorrow!!  For all my last minute DIY'ers, check out yesterday's post for some quick and easy costume ideas that you can make from things in your closet (or that you can grab from the store and wear after Halloween's long done)--here.

Now back to today's post!  :D

Once the cool weather hits, it's sweater weather weather for the next two seasons, for me anyways (I LOVE a good sweater!)!  I feel like a good sweater can totally make an outfit.   I just bought this Aerie cowl neck sweater while I was at work because I obsessed over it every time I walked by it (try it on, and I dare you to not fall in love with how comfortable and super duper soft it is!).

P.S. This sweater is on sale, so I had no choice but to buy it, right? haha

This outfit made me feel a little like Audrey Hepburn, but with a modern, millennial twist--aka, the most perfect and chic outfit combo ever.  Simple detail, and sleek hair makes this look feel more expensive than it really is (win!!!).

I love mixing textures when I have a monochromatic outfit; this soft sweater with the edginess of faux-leather accents is everything!  Different textures, within the same color scheme makes an outfit go from boring to interesting--I got so many compliments on this outfit at work!

And a little gold sparkle here and there?  Always a must!

If you haven't joined Poshmark, you need to head over to the app store and download it (it's free!)!  I found these black leather lace up flats and I'm in love!

Old Navy Round Up

I'm rounding up all my recent Old Navy finds that are on sale, right meow (and yes, I did mean to say "meow" instead of "now" lol)!  Old Navy has really stepped up their fashion game in the last couple of years, which is great news because they're also quite affordable.  So now, I'm pretty sure I shop at Old Navy at least once a week, or every two weeks.  As I type this my outfit is actually head to toe Old Navy...sorry not sorry!  :P

Their soft pants.  They're exactly that, soft and super comfortable. I wear them out, I wear them to work or just to hang out and run errands. 

You can pretty much wear anything with this jumpsuit.  I like to dress it up for work with a cool blazer, or just wear it as is for casual days.  It's absolutely darling and I wish they made them in other colors (and maybe some with a sleeve), because I'd have them all. 

The print, the laces, these sandals are so cool!  I love the style of the sandals because they're pretty unique. And the laces add a little something extra to it all.

Joggers and tunics. Both are my go-to when I don't want to think about what I'm going to wear to work. They look great together, but also look awesome with other pieces as well. 

I've fallen in love with boyfriend jeans. I love everything about them. But now that it's summer, it's just getting too hot to wear them so often. A few weeks ago I found boyfriend shorts at Old Navy and I had to get them!  As you can see, I'm obsessed now. They've definitely become a summer staple; they're cool and comfy and I love pairing them with a button up or a fun graphic tee!

Like my jumpsuit, I like to dress this maxi up and down.  Sometimes I'll throw a shirt over it to look like a skirt.  

And the classic blazer?  I couldn't even begin to tell you guys how many times I've worn this blazer. It's got some stretch to it, so it's comfortable, almost like wearing a sweatshirt to work!

The white eyelet dress.  I first discovered it through one of my favorite bloggers, Carly over at The College Prepster (seriously, check out her awesome blog and her Instagram) and ordered it seconds later! It fits almost any event. I've worn it to Easter, work, and a college graduation party already.
