Color Me Spring


A denim on denim ensemble inspired by the pastel blue colored house pictured below.

It's easy to get stuck in a rut. I enjoy my morning routine (which includes sipping coffee out of my favorite mug while browsing my go-to news sites, blogs and of course, Pinterest) but it's those days that I switch things up and step out of the norm that I'm left feeling most inspired. With spring in full effect this week (we actually hit 80* on Monday) I've been trying to make the most of this sunny weather by going for morning or afternoon strolls. From my strawberry pink frozen yogurt and the colorful tulips outside the Cornell law school to a cute baby blue house... I've been feeling freshly re-inspired by both the pastel and bold colors of spring!


Loving this bright purple, red and yellow/orange combination.


 Wearing gold accessories (Citrine by the Stones Cuff) and bold red lips (Nars Heat Wave + Revlon Firecracker).


Baby blue house-spiration.


And I'm now craving all things in a beautiful shade of violet purple.

I love switching up morning routines like that. The campus looks gorgeous. It's so pretty seeing all of the new colors pop out in spring.

Such wonderful inspiration!!! I'm going to try to do the same thing, since August I've lived 2 streets from the beach and I hardly went last year, so I'm going to try to take walks there a couple times a week at least :D

Your coloring with that denim is GORGEOUS. Seriously, so pretty. I never would have thought that matching denims would look cool but you're rocking it.

I love morning rituals, and hate when I don't have time for them like today and am having to do them tonight.

Love when spring comes I feel like I come up with way better outfits.
