Trenching

Whatever comes my way, be it sunny skies or bursts of rain I'm taking a new approach. I'm ready for it, trenching through the puddles or lifting my head to chase the sunshine. Every day brings with it new battles, challenges and ups and downs, doesn't it? We are all just rolling with the punches. This is definitely something my brother would say, actually I feel like it was his go-to quote at one point. Nevertheless, it rings true to me right now. But what are my three essentials for this battle in the barracks?

1. Waterproof shoes -- Cougar Boots has me swooning (literally, the shoe is called Swoon) over these waterproof sneakers. Anti-slip, removable cushion inserts and they are guaranteed waterproof. And there's no ounce of compromise on style here.

2. Neutral trench -- Always a necessity. This Club Monaco trench has turned into one of my most loved investment pieces. Timeless, elegant yet structured and leaves you self-assured.

3. Sunglasses -- Not to hide behind, but to shield and protect from harshness. It's okay to use up a bit of defence.

Trans-Seasonal Pink Cape

When the temperatures travel from 5 to 17 degrees in one day. Chilly mornings... warm afternoons... what's a girl to wear!? We all need to rely on those transitional pieces to take us through the day during this confusing season. This vibrant cape has become my go-to. It's a colour blocking babe of a piece that I can tone down or add some flare too. A true trans-seasonal piece. Add some more bulk underneath in the winter, or throw on top of a slip in the summer. Knits are essential. Did I mention it's on sale?!

How else can you pair it?
Dress and sneakers, metallics and jeans, or throw it over some real statement sleeves.  Whatever you do, just have fun with it.

Sophisicated Pink Lace and Trousers

What's your favourite colour to wear? It's no secret I am more than partial to blush pink and this outfit does a fine job to emphasising that. Last weekend when we had a stint of warm weather I couldn't help but get dressed up for just a casual date night. We just went to a local Italian eatery but forgoing the boots and a large coat felt so nice for a change! I am so over the cold, wet weather we've been having since, and I can't wait to get back into these trousers. They're from RW & CO and are so comfortable! I love that they can transition me from the office to the weekend. I have never been one to get the same item in a different colour, but I had to get a black pair, too! Both pairs of pants have turned into spring staple pieces and I have not looked back on my decision. When you find something that works you just need to go with it, right? In the accessory department, my vintage Chanel seemed like the only bag that would do for this level of sophisticated dressing.
