A Ladies Luncheon

Today I am off to Boston for my internship--I will be attending a luncheon at the Colonnade Hotel, watching a fashion runway showcase for one of our clients Avni. Avni is an awesome eco-friendly designer; she uses the prettiest natural dyes from India for all of her garments! Hopefully I can take some pictures to show you all! (Just in time for Earth Day too!)
I wasn't sure what to wear to a luncheon. Do I even have appropriate clothes? So I did what any fashion-forward-clueless-college-girl-dressing-for-a-luncheon would do...I Googled "luncheon outfits worn by Kate Middleton." Who does "classy-lady-at-a-luncheon" better than KM? I was inspired by a few of her looks, here's my take:

Top: Verve, Skirt: Merona for Target, Boots: Boutique in NYC, Belt: Unknown, Watch: Michael Kors, Ring: Store in the Dominican Republic (also gifted from sister)

Does anyone else GOOGLE...

Keepin' It Real

What's the best fashion advice you have ever heard? Recently magazines keep urging us to wear what is comfortable and what is most familiar. While I love testing the limits (sometimes...baby steps) I am definitely most comfortable in a cardigan, jeans, a button-down shirt and flats. There is something about the comfort of all these individual pieces; funnily, the simplicity of all my fashion staples combined creates a pretty polished and glossy look. Today I am "keepin' it real," totally simple:

Cardigan: H&M, Button-down: Verve, Jeans: Forever21, Flats: Steve Madden, Watch: Michael Kors

If you are "keepin' it real" what do you wear?
