Spring Style Inspiration: Tailored Bohemia

Even though -- or perhaps, because -- it's still cold and damp outside, I've been giving a lot of thought to tackling my spring wardrobe. My inner hippie basically wants to run around in sheer organic cotton with unstyled hair, patchouli and flip flops, but despite my office's "tastefully casual" dress code, I don't think tie-dyed, incense-burning earth mother is an appropriate look to rock on K Street.

The solution: a nice, fitted blazer to balance out edgier pieces and the slightly frazzled, wavy hair that I end up with, when it gets too warm to blow dry my hair without risking a power outage and first-degree scalp burns.

For casual work days, I love a blazer paired with jeans or white pants as seen below.


On the weekends, I would wear it with a swingy mini or a flowy bohemian dress.

Shop With Me: Everything's Coming up Roses...

When I walked out of my apartment this morning, I was thrilled to be greeted with mild temperatures and the faint smell of fresh-cut grass. It reminded me of early spring, when most of the landscape is still muddy brown, there's frost on the ground at sunrise, and the very first pink and red flower buds begin to pop open. With that inspiration in mind, I decided to do a little digging to find some pretty, little items that would remind me of that feeling all year long -- delicate, feminine florals, vintage-inspired frocks, pale and shimmering neutrals and of course, roses everwhere.
