Feelin' a bit punky, might just do a cartwheel down the runway.

I'm not one to experiment with vibrant colors very often, but this vivid number seemed to "pop" in just the right way.  I'm sure it helps that the skirt's made of faux leather, a material I generally gravitate toward (although usually in black).  My boyfriend remarked that this was a relatively casual outfit for me, but I thought it achieved the perfect balance for simplified chic (especially on a 90 degree day!).

Isn't the balloon mural behind me adorable?  I thought it complemented the bright pop of the skirt.

Here in Buffalo we are fortunate to have a few hidden cobblestone streets.  Unintentionally this one made for the perfect backdrop to this stonewashed dress.  It's 80's I know, but it's lovely in its simplistic silhouette and bold pattern. I wore this to dinner at a lovely French restaurant, Tabree.  We dined on Fruits de Mar, goat cheese ravioli, and seared scallops.  The night became even more of an adventure when the restaurant lost power, causing the diners to finish their meals in darkness and candle light.

I've been wearing these thrifted Levis non-stop.  They are perfectly worn with the most amazing fit and have already become my staple (and signature) piece for the Spring.  This beaut of a jacket I snagged at H&M while in Toronto a few months back.  I've been hiding it in the back of my closet, but now that spring (and party season) is upon us, I had to break it out.

left bank birthday

(twelve by twelve studded blazer, forever 21 dress, forever 21 belt, UO tights, H&M hat & bag)

For my birthday last night, my lovely boyfriend surprised me with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers and a delicious dinner at my favorite restaurant.  This was the outfit I wore to work which ended up transitioning into my dinner attire.  We caught this beautiful sunset right before leaving the house.  It really enhances the brightness of the blazer. 

As you can see I'm really enjoying studs lately.  I found these flats at Marshall's (go figure) and the blazer I picked up at Forever 21.  My big blowout is scheduled for Saturday - expect more pictures of wild antics to follow.
