Peter Pilotto x Target

Target has done it again - another beautiful collaboration with an amazing designer! Peter Pilotto is an incredibly talented designer known for bold prints and chic shapes, and I CANNOT wait until it comes out officially on February 9th.  Below are my favorite pieces from the collection {which will also be available on Net-A-Porter's site}.  I don't think it's coincidence that this arrives right before Valentine's Day, do you? ;) {All images via Refinery 29 here}

Winter Skin Savers

This winter has been especially brutal, but I have acquired a few beauty products that have been life savers during the cold months.  Once a week, I use Origin's "Clear Improvement Active Charcoal" face mask {here} for a little pick-me-up and to help even my skin tone, and each night I use Estee Lauder's "Advanced Night Repair Eye" serum {here} that protects that thin skin under the eyes.  For moisturizing, I alternate between Josie Maran Argan Oil {here} at night {it has literally transformed my skin this winter!} and bareMinerals "Skin Rev-er Upper" {here} which I use before applying make-up for the day or night.  Winter can be rough on the skin, but these products keep mine looking and feeling rejuvenated.  What skincare products do you prefer in the winter?  

Spring Fever: Milly

I know it's too early for this, but I just needed some colorful inspiration in my life and these gorgeous Milly dresses were just the trick! I am loving the clothes and accessories Milly has lined up for spring, and it makes me all the more excited for the season to change! Which one do you like best?

Italian shoes via TJ Maxx

TJ Maxx is one of my go-to stores when I'm looking for something one of a kind and at an affordable price.  A few years ago, I found these great Italian shoes by Latitude Femme that were a total steal considering the original price, and loved how they weren't like anything else you could find in the stores.  I'm a big fan of the neutral colors that are incorporated, and they always add something special to any outfit I am wearing.  {Side note: the vase the mini roses are in are from a recycled candle container from Lotta Jansdotter, a designer of prints that offers the most wonderful candles!

Fashion + Philanthropy Friday

Happy Fashion + Philanthropy Friday! I've always been so impressed with the Tory Burch Foundation and its brand in general, and I love how all profits from these darling agendas go directly to the Tory Burch Foundation {buy here}.  The Foundation provides funding for small business loans, mentoring programs, and entrepreneurial education for women entrepreneurs in the U.S. in order to empower them and their families.  This agenda is the perfect way to start the new year organized, while helping women achieve their dreams :)

Winter Inspiration

I've noticed that recently a lot of bloggers have been creating "mood boards" for inspiration, and I really love that idea - especially during the cold, grey months of winter.  Below are some items that inspire me this winter: brights, sequins, and a GREAT candle {always!}  Also, that Kate Spade clutch makes me want to plan a winter escape, and those K/ller Collection earrings and Anthropologie hat I would wear for all seasons!

Snow Ready

Although the snow and cold has been crazy lately, I feel quite prepared with these cute handmade knits I got for Christmas.  I've been living in these gloves, scarf, and headband, and love that since they are homemade, they're very unique.  Now I just need to learn to knit so I can make these in every color for myself :)
