It’s no secret I have a leopard obsession. But when I purchased these over the knee leopard boots, I think I took it to a different level. I’ve had these boots for a few months now, trying to find the perfect way to wear them. I knew it had to be styled with black and gold accessories, but I wanted the “perfect” dress. After searching and searching, I finally decided to look in one of the best places: my own closet! I have had this dress from J.Crew since college and it was always one of my favorites. It’s so simple but can be accessorized so many different ways! I realized that the “perfect” dress that I had spent months looking for was right under my nose! **Side note: I also haven’t worn the boots before now because of this wintry weather! As you can see with snow on the ground, I had to be super careful when walking!!**

I am so excited to continue to style these boots before winter is over, but I think two lessons were learned from this outfit: sometimes your closet can be the best store and basic pieces are easy to style with different accessories to create totally different looks! 

Thanks for stopping by!

valentine’s day date night

Today I am sharing a little Valentine’s Day date night outfit inspiration! Don’t feel compelled to wear red next Saturday; shades of pink are perfect for the occasion too 🙂

Pink has always been my favorite color and when I saw this skirt I knew I had to add this to my inspiration board! This pink is so vibrant and by adding the soft pink, feminine accessories, it makes this skirt pop even more and adds more glamour to an already fabulous outfit! I also love this YSL Rouge Volupté lipstick in No. 7. I have a few light pink lipsticks but I might have to add this to my collection as well. I think it’s a great everyday lipstick!

I’ve included some “save” alternatives below, so be sure to check those out as well! 

Have a fabulous day and thanks for dropping by!

Happy Monday, everyone! I cannot believe that January is already over; it went way too fast! Since now it is officially February, I am obsessing over spring colors! Although we still have a few weeks to go {and we still have snow on the ground here in Northern Virginia!} I find myself thinking of ways to incorporate spring colors into my wardrobe each day. 

CAbi’s Grosgrain Top is the perfect blouse to add to your closet to start spring now. The possibilities are truly endless with this fun print: pale pink, hot pink, yellow and white pants will all compliment this fabulous shirt. To make the Grosgrain top more “season fitting” I paired it with two other favorite CAbi pieces from past seasons: the faux leather leggings and moto jacket. I love that the moto jacket is short enough to still show off the gorgeous print, and it matches back to the grosgrain ribbon perfectly! And faux leather leggings are always a must in my book 🙂 

Hope everyone has a wonderful week! Stay tuned for more spring CAbi pieces on A Blonde’s Moment. It’s one of my favorite CAbi collections yet! Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Thursday, everyone! Today, I am mixing animal print with a pop of color, which is one of my favorite ways to style an outfit! I think this is the perfect office chic look. You can be office conservative and still add subtle colors, patterns and textures. One of my favorite parts of this look are the shoes! I have been obsessing over the Valentino Rockstud shoes for a long time now. But, I cannot justify paying that amount of money on what seems like a pretty trendy shoe. I found these at DSW the other weekend and I think they are a great alternative. These fabulous shoes also come in red, blue and black with nude. I really like the all black shoe though because I think they look great paired with or without tights. Seems like this could be an all season shoe 🙂 

Have a wonderful day!

Happy Wednesday! Last week, I shared my favorite pastels for winter, and today it’s all about the exact opposite: neons! I’ve always loved hot pink, but there are so many other vibrant neon colors that I have been seeing and I am absolutely loving it! If you have been following the Australian Open {it’s literally been on 24/7 in our house with ESPN2 and Tennis Channel coverage} you will notice Nike is also embracing the neon trend by dressing their athletes in these blinding colors! 

Finding something in the neon color family doesn’t have to cost a fortune either. I have selected some of my favorite neon items in both the save and splurge categories. Personally, I think the best match has to be the sunglasses. They are like carbon copies of each other! 

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend! Today, I am wearing all black everything, but with a pop of leopard and pink. The faux fur vest and the faux leather leggings have been two of my favorite and most worn pieces from CAbi’s Fall 2014 Collection, I just love them! The vest is so cozy and it can be styled with jeans for a more casual look and dressed up with heels for the perfect date night outfit! I am also obsessed with this clutch. It’s actually a laptop case, but I have been searching for a leopard clutch for so long, I thought it work perfectly! And last, but not least, my “Rachel” bracelet. I have been obsessing over this bracelet for several months now. Is it not perfect?! 

Hope you all have a fabulous week and thanks for stopping by!

Happy Thursday, everyone! Today, I am wearing one of my new favorite vests. I have really been attracted to vests this fall and winter {see another fabulous vest here}. What I love most about this vest has to be the primary colors. I just love that this vest can go with black, brown or navy bottoms and virtually any color blouse. You can also dress it up {like I have done here} but it would also look great dressed down with jeans and boots! This vest has definitely been a key fall and winter piece that is so versatile! What are some of your favorite go-to pieces for this time of the year? Let me know in the comments section below 🙂

winter pastels

Happy Wednesday! Lately, I have been so
inspired by pastels. I love incorporating winter pastels into my wardrobe this
time of the year…it’s like early prepping for spring! And although spring is typically the time for these colors, there is nothing wrong with adding a few pastels
into your outfit now. 
I especially love this Essie nail polish. As soon as
Christmas was over and I removed my red nail polish, all I could think about
was this soft pink color. I love that you can wear it now through the end of
summer! And not only is this lipstick the perfect pastel pink, it’s basic
enough that it can be an everyday color too! What are your favorite ways to
prep your wardrobe for spring? Let me know in the comments sections below! Have
a great day!

As many of you may know, I have an obsession with animal print. Typically, it’s leopard, but I equally love zebra print 🙂 Although this skirt is a few years old, it has stayed in fabulous condition and is still very much in style! I have a couple different belts I like to wear with this outfit; I think it’s the perfect way to add a pop of color to an otherwise black and white outfit. And, of course, one of the options has to be pink 🙂 I also love bright orange with this; although, I sometimes feel a little too Halloween-ish when I wear orange and black! 

As I mentioned a few months ago, some exciting things were coming to A Blonde’s Moment. It has been a long process, but A Blonde’s Moment has finally received a facelift! In order to share this fabulous new website with you, A Blonde’s Moment will be signing off for a few days to make the transfer over to the new site ðŸ™‚ I cannot wait for you all to see the new website, which will be more user friendly and much more colorful 🙂
