Black and White



Rag & Bone Blazer.  Funktional Blouse.  gifted Paige Leather Leggings.  3.1 Phillip Lim Satchel.  
gifted DVF Booties.  Oia Jules Bracelet.  BaubleBar and Gorjana Chevron Necklace

I've been drawn to more classic combinations lately, with a touch of edge / personal flare of course (hello multi-colored manicure)! I like that a clean sleek blazer can make any ensemble feel sophisticated, even (faux) leather leggings which I often opt for in lieu of dresses and skirts when I want to dress up a bit. 


You guys asked to see my new nail polish colors in action so I painted each finger for you!
