FASHION: pretty & edgy

Hi everyone! Adri here of Adri's World. It's been so cold this winter that I honestly can't wait for Spring.  A big trend for Spring are FLORALS, and I love a floral shirt that can be styled many different ways. Here are two great options, a pretty and colorful look that can be worn to a brunch or a day out and an edgy and leather look for a date night or cocktails with friends.

By adding colored pants and pretty accessories the look is very feminine and soft. Switch the pastel pants for leather pants add black and white sandals, edgy accessories and a fringe clutch and you are ready for a night out and your look is completely different.

What about you, are you ready for Spring? Are florals part of your wardrobe?

6 snow boots

I think it's safe to say winter has really shown us its true colors this year. In fact, we had a few sunny days last week here in NYC & I thought the snow was gone, but nope, it's back again today!  Can the city hold anymore snow?? Who knows.  What I do know is that it's probably a good idea to be prepared. And I also know that statement snow boots are one great accessory.

Whether for this winter season or next, let your inner snow bunny do some shopping! There are so many cute snow boots out there to choose from-- I've selected 6 different styles to get you started. Enjoy!

Which style do you prefer ??

1. Sorel Women's Tofino Boot /// 2. Sorel Caribou Snow Boots via Bloomingdale's  /// 3. Sorel via Dogfunk /// 4. Pajar via Dogfunk /// 5. Sorel Women's Glacy Lace Boot  /// 6. Tory Burch Denai Quilted Rain Bootie

Schutz Shoes

Hi everyone! Welcome back to Monday! So.... I'm here to share one of my favorite things – shoes. What girl doesn't love shoes??

Well,  Schutz Shoe has some of the nicest & unique pairs of shoes around... or as they like to say, Brazilian shoes with NY style. Their shoes are gorgeous! I personally love their booties the most - there are so many chic styles to choose from. And for a girl who loves her leopard print, they sure know how to entice me with all things leopard!! Too bad they don't have my size in the leopard print anymore - so bummed out!

Anyhow, here are a few of my favorites, including my absolute favorite leopard print pair. I'm a thin-heel type of girl - I can't stand clunky (gothic-looking) heels, I would feed like Frankenstein. What about you?? Do you own any Schutz shoes?

But hey - since it's here to stay for a little bit longer, might as well make the best of it, right?

BKR Water Bottles

BKR Bottles are the new "it" water bottles.  How great would these be as a gift to your best friend? Love that each color has a different colored heart.  So simple & effective.  We've all heard about how plastic bottles leaching harmful toxins into the water you drink, but with BKR you drink through a glass bottle.  It makes for a safer, cleaner drinking experience, but also looks great!   These are perfect for taking out on a run, to the beach, or to the gym.  You can buy yours here.    

Which is your fave?

FASHION: Pop of Color

Hi everyone, Adri here of Adri's World. Since my last post was about winter neutrals, I felt that a "pop of color" would be the perfect follow up! 

Sometimes all you need to brighten up your look is a great bold bag, jewelry or maybe a pair of gloves for those cloudy, dark days. If you want to have a daily pop of color, how about a bright wallet in bubble gum pink? I think it would make shopping even more fun!  Color can be added to a monochromatic look or can be worn together to really make a statement. I love how that coat adds a bit of color to an otherwise classic and simple black and white look and with Valentine's Day around the corner, those sexy sandals would be the perfect addition to any outfit.

Do you wear bright colors in the winter or do you prefer them for the warmer weather?

Valentine's Day Wishlist

I'm already eager for Valentine's day.  And you? 

Are you hoping for a Romantic dinner? A vacation? some gifts? - for me, I think V-day should be as often as possible, not just on February 14th.  Celebrating LOVE should be an on-going thing if you're married or in a relationship. Don't you think??

There are many ways to celebrate - and we'll talk about that in the coming weeks before V-day - but today, I thought I'd share my V-day wishlist. Which means, any of these beauties would make a great gift! My two faves are #2 iPhone case from GiGi New York & the pony hair booties from Schutz.

 1. pony hair schutz booties // 2. iPhone case - Gigi NYC // 3. Joseph leather- The Outnet  // 4. Eduardo Garza crystal box - west elm // 5. Nate Berkus - wall decor/Target // 6. MCM - heritage pouch // 7. Barney's fur coat // 8. Fleur de Mal lingerie // 9. Buxom full-bodies lipstick -sephora // 10. marni glass -JaysonHome // 11.

FASHION: Winter Neutrals

Hi everyone, Adri here of Adri's World. Happy 2014 to you! As much as I love the holidays, I am glad they're over and I'm ready for this new year. One of the best things about starting a new year is the idea of a fresh, clean start and after all the sparkle and shine that comes with the holidays I like to keep things simple, clean yet stylish this time of year.
 

 Two colors that I love when it comes to fashion are grey and black! You can pair them with anything—patterns, colors, or together and you'll look amazing.  Here are a few of my favorite winter neutrals. I'd wear them all at once and maybe add a pop of color and pattern with a scarf, a skirt & tights or pants. 

Do like to wear neutral colors in the winter or do you like to add color to your outfits?
