Parsley and Pom Poms

When the button down, snap front mini skirt trend emerged this year, I was all about it. However, all minis I fell in love with seemed to be made of fabrications for cooler weather and not the actuality of 85+ degrees. Leather, suede, faux suede, corduroy, and velvet were all my top favs from the beginning. I stuck out my desire to support this trend until now, finally! The weekend weather was dreary and chillier than it has been lately. I was able to put on the faux suede skirt (from Forever 21) and pair it with my Alexander Wang bucket bag, also suede. I paired my burgundy skirt with a fun and bold palm print blouse from H&M. I love the pajama style influence and the not so common color combination for a tropical leaf pattern. The suede skirt and bag, burgundy color and bare legs, topped with tropical leaves allowed me to pull of a fall look this weekend in Florida without it feeling forced. Get the look below. xo RCN

I have been feeling very pink the last few days and its keeping me in a very cheery mood. I tribute the extra cheeriness to Florida; where there has been many more sunny days in my calendar than when I lived in NYC. Florida is also likely to do with my warm weather obsessions such as citrus fruits, cacti, palm trees, and flamingos of course!! However, maybe my pink obsession comes naturally. I would be remiss if i didn't mention I waited over a year for my pink peony Mansur Gavriel bucket bag. And look at my toenails. I made pink soup a week ago. Honestly, if flamingos were brown I probably wouldn't like them as much- sorry!! The good news is flamingos are pink, and I love them. NY or Florida, the color speaks to me. So naturally, I couldn't resist this flamingo skirt. I am head over heels, literally obsessed with my new skirt from chicwish.com. Perfectly flamingo and pink. Let's just say this week will be my pink week. Hmmm, so what else should be on my pink week agenda? xo RCN
