Easy Rider

I've been feeling very inspired by casual and easy going looks that mix romance with an edgy boyishness. If I could stir together all the elements of each of these pictures, I think I would conjure up exactly what I am looking for when it comes to what I want to wear right now. It feels like spring here in Southern California even though we are smack dab in the middle of winter. In-between season dressing is always the norm where I'm from, so an effortlessly thrown together look that is not too hot or too cold, but a perfect balance of two extremes, is ideal. I'm talking lace and leather. Heels and studs. Crochet and boyfriend blazers. Pretty yet hard, but overall extremely sexy.

I'm gearing up for a busy week and an even busier next month. But with inspiration like this, thinking about what I'm going to wear in the morning is not too much of a heavy ordeal at all.
