Warby Parker's Spring Collection

As a girl with a pretty serious eye stigma, I relish the prospect of buying a new pair of stylish spectacles. Warby Parker has been a go-to website for me for glasses inspiration for some time now, and I couldn't be more excited about their new Spring line which just launched today! 

I love that Warby Parker has released their Spring collection in January - New Years is the perfect time to update just about anything in your life, and your glasses should be no exception! The Spring glasses line up at WP is such a perfect blend of classic and modern, drawing inspiration from the deep sea. I love the titanium, the blues, corals, and sandy tones, and the tortoise finishes that resemble rippling water oh-so perfectly. I can't wait to try on my favorite pairs using their home try on program, which is also available today for the newest spring styles!

Find Your Spring Style - FP Styling Event!

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been posting so far this month. It's my spring break which of course means my sleeping schedule is even more out of control than usual, and my best friend visited me from Washington, and then - Then my camera broke. But I fixed it. With a hammer. Anyways. 

I got to do a little shopping over spring break, and of course that meant visiting Free People (both online, and in store.) I have been lusting over this tee for months! I finally got my hands on it recently, and am obsessed. I don't think I've taken it off since I got it. There's so many ways to style it, but today I chose a simple approach with dark wash jeans, chunk socks,  the infamous (at least, infamous on my blog) Belmont clog, halter bra, and my very first ever wide-ish brimmed fedora!

Because of how FP inspired this outfit is, I thought it would be a great time to remind you all of the Free People styling event going on this Thursday! If you're in the Portland area, swing by Free People in Bridgeport Village for a special styling event, hosted by myself, Kacie (of Shy Girl Loud Voice) and Tonya (The Moptop). There will be refreshments, a photo booth, styling, and even a special free gift for the first 50 people who attend! RSVP here, and come on down to find your spring style!

Bare a Bit More

I am so excited today. I was skipping around from place to place while taking these photos with my boyfriend, because I am just SO happy to have some sunshine that actually allowed me to not need at least a sweater! First of all, hot weather is always exciting. There's something about the weather that just says "it's a good day to have fun." With that being said, Matt and I have plans to roast some hot dogs on our building's roof and enjoy the rays. Secondly, a good friend of mine and fellow blogger (check out her blog here!) Kacie just started working at Free People last month. The other day I swung into the store to see if she was there (and to, you know, peek around at the merchandise.) She had told me about this bra earlier in the week and I demanded she show it to me! It's super stretchy (I got a medium when I normally get an xs, and it fits just fine.) and super cute. Perfect for Free People's Bare a Bit More style resolution trend. This bra will definitely be getting a lot of face time as the weather continues to heat up!

Metallics

Going to school for fashion means always having to know what's up and coming trend wise. A trend predicted to be popular this upcoming Spring season that I'm totally in love with and already mentally preparing for, is metallic accessories. My favorite way to utilize this trend, is with metallic shoes. Below are a few outfits I put together featuring some adorably bad ass metallic shoes that I'm hoping to get my hands on. Let me know what you think of my looks in the comments below!

Do you think you could get into the metallic trend? How would you put your own spin on it?

Metallics by kenziereese featuring boyfriend jeans

I really love taking simple shapes such as boyfriend jeans, and basic tees or sweaters with this look, so the attention is on the shoes. Floral is another way to keep the look girly. 

Heavy Metal by kenziereese featuring Alexander Wang

This is my more tough look. I love the metallic Doc Martens, keeping the colors muted will ensure the look stays tough, not sweet. 

As The City Grows Dark by kenziereese featuring Uniqlo

This was my more glam look. Again, simple shapes keep the look more focused. I chose to use accessories in golden tones to draw attention to the shoes as well.
