Burgundy Bowler

I think a hat can really top off an outfit (no pun intended). My burgundy bowler completes my British-inspired outfit. I look how it looks with my leather jacket and picks up the colors in my skirt. The quality is amazing and I know I will be wearing it again and again. Hats off to Forever 21 for making this gem!

Alley Cat

Feline fashion is a weakness of mine. I couldn't resist adding this adorable sweater to my wardrobe. It reminds me of the cleverly clad "Catwalk" sweater Moschino Chip and Chic made last year. Cats have become as popular on clothing as they have on the internet. Taylor Swift is always paying homage to her furry friends and the Charlotte Olympia 'Kitty' flats are the cat's meow in the blogging community. Cats are taking over the fashion world, and I'm okay with that.

Dungaree City

It was a chilly day in the city of Boston! Wearing my dungarees and bundling up in a plaid scarf was the perfect way to welcome the fall weather.

Boston Garden Party

Bits of Style is now Boston based! My blog and I have moved to the city for an Emerson College adventure! I am so excited to be living in such an amazing place. It is full of inspiration wherever you go. I knew the Boston Garden would be the perfect location for my first photo shoot. With my floral print skirt blowing in the breeze I felt like I was headed to a garden party...a Boston Garden party! This glorious place will definitely be a go-to of mine. Audrey Hepburn once said, "Paris is always a good idea." I think Boston is always a good idea too.

4th of July Fashion: UK Meets the USA

Happy 4th of July everyone! I hope you've all had a wonderful holiday, and if you aren't from the US, I hope you've had a lovely Friday. Festive fashion is one of my favorite things. I love dressing up for the holidays as it always gets me in the spirit. Although my t-shirt is quite British inspired, it still has an Americana feel. UK meets the USA with this tee.

Ray-Bans, Red Lipstick, and Leopard

Ray-Bans, red lipstick, and leopard...what could be better? This figure skater dress from American Apparel is my new favorite dress. I think it is adorable and love how it looks with a denim jacket and some sunnies. It can be dressed up or down and is perfect for the summer. This dress is the cat's meow.

Black and White and Brandy Melville All Over

What's black and white and Brandy Melville all over? My outfit. Brandy Melville has become one of my favorite stores, hence the tee and skirt combination. Their clothes are summery, comfortable, and the perfect addition to my wardrobe. Even though the closest Brandy is an hour away, I can still find them at my local PacSun. I will definitely be going back for more of their skirts, tees, and shorts.

Kimono Cool

This East Coast girl felt very West Coast in today's outfit. I paired American Apparel's classic striped crop tee with a pair of "mom shorts" and added a kimono to complete this laid-back look.

May Flowers

Dress: Urban Outfitters | Denim jacket: Hollister | Sandals: Nordstrom BP | Watch: Michael Kors | Bracelets: Alex and Ani

April showers really do bring May flowers! It was so nice to finally be able to take pictures outside. Just as the flowers are in bloom, so is my dress from Urban Outfitters. I love the colors and ditsy floral print. It embodies the essence of spring. My trusty denim jacket, neutral sandals, Alex and Ani bracelets and Michael Kors watch complete the look.

Springtime Mint

Top: American Apparel | Skirt: Forever 21 | Sandals: Sam Edelman | Watch: Michael Kors | Earrings: Francesca's

Mint is one of my favorite colors to wear in the springtime. Not only is it on trend, it is refreshing and happy. This mint open knit tennis shirt from American Apparel is my latest obsession. It has that classic, girly look that I love while still feeling modern. I paired it with a floral skater skirt from Forever 21, Sam Edelman sandals, delicate vintage-inspired earrings, and my Michael Kors watch to achieve the perfect springtime outfit.

Tile Print Style

My latest spring obsession is this dress from Topshop. I love everything about it, from the color, to the tile print, to the fit-and-flare style. This dress could not be more perfect. To create this girly and casual look, I paired it with frilly socks, Keds, a denim jacket, silver jewelry, and my Rebecca Minkoff 'Mini MAB' Tote. I am loving how this outfit came together and can't wait to style my spring obsession throughout the warmer months.

Houndstooth Happenings

Spring is here and I couldn't be happier. Of course, I am still wearing monochrome, but how could I resist? My houndstooth jacket was just waiting to be worn.

Snow Leopard

After weeks of bitter cold and a lack of outfit posts, it is finally a beautiful, 54 degree day! The only problem is there are snow banks barricading my house so I am forced to take pictures inside. More snow is on the way this week, so I will have to say "sayonara" to skater skirts for a little while longer. This snow leopard is ready for spring.

Unexpected Leopard

Turtleneck: H&M | Skirt: Tj Maxx | Shoes: Gap | Necklace: Tiffany & Co.

My leopard loafers are making an appearance in yet another outfit post. This time, they are paired with a faux leather skirt, tights, and a turtleneck. I think they are a great alternative to my black ballet flats. It's always fun to wear something that is a bit unexpected.

Pinafore Fun

My pinafore is one of my favorite items to style at the moment. It can be worn with so many different things. Today, I paired my pinafore with a collared blouse, tights, gingham frilly socks, and a Chanel-esque tweed jacket to keep warm.

Flippy Skirts & Sweatshirts

Sweatshirts are a big trend right now, and rightfully so. Brands and designers such as Kenzo, Brain Litchenberg, and Alexander Wang have turned the sweatshirt into a fashion staple. I think the sweatshirts my senior class designed are right on trend. The "2014" in Roman numerals looks so cool and modern. I styled mine with a skirt, cutout boots, and my new Rebecca Minkoff bag to create a girly outfit with a bit of a laid-back edge.

A Hint of Burgundy

This outfit contains a few of my favorite things: leopard print, monochrome and the color burgundy. I love how my leopard print loafers, burgundy scarf and MAC 'Media' lipstick make the look complete. This outfit is one of my new faves.

Leopard Loafers

Turtleneck: H&M | Jeans: Abercrombie & Fitch | Loafers: Gap | Watch: Michael Kors

My calf-hair leopard print loafers from the Gap make this simple and chic outfit pop. They make any look amazing and special. I can't wait to wear them throughout the winter.

Winter Blues

Sweater: Gap | Jeans: Nordstrom BP | Boots: Steve Madden | Necklace: Tiffany & Co.

Sweaters have been my savior during the past few weeks. It has been very cold and a nice, warm sweater like this one from the Gap is perfect. I've never a sweater in this shade of blue before. I love how it looks against against my skin tone. Although I love dressing in all black, a bit of color can be the perfect pick-me-up. This sweater gives me the winter blues...in a good way!
