HAIRCUT INSPIRATION: LONG BLUNT BOB

Getting my haircut tomorrow and decided on a long blunt bob. My hair has gotten SO long and scraggly, so it's time to do something fresh. Check out my instagram for more inspiration.

CURRENT UNIFORM: LEATHER + PLAID MIX

This is basically all I want to wear lately... a leather moto jacket, plaid shirt tied around the waist, black skinny jeans and switch those sandals to ankle boots. Spring can't come soon enough. I'd much rather be wearing cute heeled sandals than dodging icy puddles.

HAIM | CALIFORNIA COOL WITH AN EDGE

If you follow me on twitter or instagram, you probably already know that I've had HAIM on repeat since the release of their album. Not only do they have great music, but they have great style as well. I especially love Danielle's personal style (pictured in the middle above). She's always dressed in laid-back California cool looks with a little bit of an edge.

Happy Valentine's Day! Lingerie has always come to mind this time of year, so here's a little inspiration from Gisele Bundchen, Ashley Olsen and Kate Moss to celebrate. My favorite piece will forever be a lacy black bra, especially when worn with a sheer black tee. With the right styling this pairing looks sleek, sexy and classic. To go along with the inspiration, I put together some of my top black bra picks from Triumph...

4. Magical Essence Tee Shirt Bra

STREET STYLE: CLASSIC • PREPPY • DOWNTOWN COOL

Photo via: Kelly Stuart

Revisiting this street style shot I posted back in 2009. The look is still one of my favorites to this day. A nod to classic preppy style, but the leather gives it a downtown cool feel.

STREET STYLE: EASY GRUNGE

Great easy grunge look on Fabiola in Milan. Love her textured wavy hair.

For those of you in cold winter weather like myself, stay warm by adding a long sleeve dress and thick tights under the sheer layer and top it all off with a leather moto jacket.

{Wardrobe Wednesday} Hats Off

Hat- French Connection | turtleneck- Zara (old; similar here) | plaid cape- Urban Outfitters | ring- Michael Kors

In keeping with last week's winter-fuelled Wardrobe Wednesday, I thought I would pay further homage to one of my favourite cold-weather accessories: The hat. The eternal warmer-of-heads and disguiser-of-bad-hair-days (you know what I'm talking about), the hat is the most versatile and transformative accessory at your disposal— and don't you forget it. And by you, I really mean me, because I'm the worst for neglecting even my most beloved accessories (#hoarderproblems). But that's why I love both you AND this WW column — you guys keep me honest.



If you're looking for some good, winter appropriate hat options, I really love this Catarzi wool hatand this Brian Lichtenberg beanie (case in point)... Happy (Wardrobe) Wednesday, friends! xx

When temperatures drop, I like to add bright layers and beautiful accessories to the mix to dull the pain of yet another winter. Pops of red, plaid and leather galore is the name of the game this time of year, so here are a few of my current favourites (including these delicious boots from Dr. Martens). What are your winter go-tos? xx

Hat- ONE | plaid scarf- Gap | bag- Oasap | red coat- ASOS | quilted leather gloves- River Island | boots- Dr. Martens

{Style} Bundled

Coat- French Connection | striped shirt- Saint James | faux leather skirt c/o Forever 21 | double-sided scarf- Zara (similar style) | booties- ShoeMint | bag- 3.1 Phillip Lim | lips ring- CC Skye | necklace- J.Crew Factory



Layers are a non-negotiable this time of year, but there's no reason not to spice them up with a little print-on-print (on-print-on-print) action. For me, that means stripes, plaid, houndstooth AND leopard, but hey, that's just how I roll. And even though it may sound like a seizure-inducing hot mess on paper, the visual is far from it... Or so I like to tell myself.

Happy Monday, friends! xx
