Postcards from DC | Cherry Blossoms

 

 This trip was beyond dreamy - I've been wanting to see cherry blossoms for the last 4 years but Finals always got in the way. The weather was perfect, the setting was impeccable in every way and most importantly our family was able to stay together amidst everything that has been going on in Boston.

It's important to know a good thing when you have it; I certainly relished every second of this trip. Thanks for stopping by and please keep Boston in your heart! #prayforboston

Tweed is definitely having a moment this Spring and we can't get enough. Known as a high quality fabric with a rich ancestry, tweed received a modern revamp in the 1950's by Coco Chanel thereby making it a must-have fashion investment. From jackets to shorts, tweed is popping up everywhere. Worn the right way, I believe tweed can be sophisticated and fun at the same time. That being said, tweed can easily become unflattering so make sure to find pieces that work for your body. An easy way to make sure you don't end up looking frumpy is by wearing tweed pieces in edgier cuts, like a moto jacket as I've done here. To balance out the outfit I paired it with casual ripped jeans and high Mary Janes to give it an edgier look. The best part about fashion is experimenting. Whether it's a tweed skirt, pant or jacket, they will look amazing with pretty much anything. You just have to find the right fit and style for you. Have fun with it!
