Yesterday was 65 and spring-like so naturally it was also the day that I started feeling some of the same cold symptoms the bf has been battling since last week. I’m hoping I’ve been pro...
The first thing the bf asked when I paired this floral maxi with my riding boots was where the ho-down was. The addition of a texture with a chunky sweater, metal bangles and a necklace with some r...
With or without Raving Fashionista, I’ve always tried to avoid outfit duplication — ask some of my old co-workers, it’s a little neurotic. I’m always trying to figuring out new way...
Some variation of this outfit was my uniform all weekend. It’s nothing very glamorous, but it was perfectly relaxed and practical for 3 days spent tackling a neglected pile of laundry, re-orga...
Yesterday was a grey and rainy day and the bf was under the weather and stuck in bed most of the day. In an effort to brighten up the mood, I reached for a few accessories that would add the perfect...
The bf owns this over-sized, chunky knit grey scarf that is just about the coziest thing to wrap up in when it’s cold. It’s so warm and fluffy that I can’t help but steal it from t...
Even though I start embracing the day early into the month, sending out hand signed valentine’s to my girlfriends, treating myself to a bright red box of assorted chocolates, and filling the ho...
Happy Valentine’s Day! When it comes to this heart filled holiday, I just love all the love. Whether you’re single, attached, or “it’s complicated,” I urge you to thr...
Between New York City outings and surprise party festivities, making new friends and spending quality time with old ones, this weekend was a whirlwind. By Sunday all I wanted to do was lay around in...
I absolutely love the simplicity of a chambray top and skirt. Somehow it always seems to be simultaneously feminine, casual, relaxed and snappy. Even when paired with the most neutral bottom (a cre...
The bf and I headed up to New York City yesterday to attend the Independent Fashion Blogger Conference. While the content (and goodie bags) you’re able to take away from any blogger conference...
I’ve got a few blazers already, but with the exception of this vintage one or the occasional sequined version, I tend to play it safe with neutrals. Black, beige and white always seemed like t...
Jam packed weekends are made a little more manageable with an outfit that combines elements that make the transition from day to night a breeze. Black leggings with a bit of shine are laid back with ...
Whether you cheered on the Patriots or the Giants, watched for the commercials or Madonna, or abstained from the big game yesterday all together, it’s hard to deny the popularity of a day dedic...
This week brought with it some car troubles, and I was forced to surrender my vehicle to the mechanic for tests and repairs. Is it only me, or does anyone else get the itch to get out of the house t...
It’s February and the weathermen called for rain yesterday, but instead the sun was shining and it was nearly 70 degrees. It was the kind of day that makes you feel giddy. With reminders of l...
I need your help. If you follow Raving Fashionista on Facebook and Twitter you may have already noticed that Refinery29 is hosting a contest to find The Next Big Style Blogger and I’ve thrown ...
It’s no secret that winter and layering tend to go hand-in-hand. Embracing an added shirt or two is both practical and commonplace. But warmth is not my sole motivator this time of year when ...
When I was a little girl I had a head full of fiery red ringlets. Over time my hair naturally lightened to a strawberry blonde hue, leaving only traces of auburn tones, but even so, I’ve alway...
For the most part, it’s been an extremely mild winter. I’ll admit I’m somewhat disappointed at the lack of snow this season, but there’s something to be said about being able...
With much on my to do list yesterday, I’ll admit my outfit was the last thing on my mind; especially since I’d made a rough plan of what I’d planned to wear the night before. As lu...
When I’d ordered this dress from Eshakti a few weeks back, I had fully intended on saving it for spring. Unfortunately, my patience tends to falter when it comes to pretty pieces of clothing. ...
Yesterday I spent the day with two of my favorite pint-sized people, and as much fun as we have, I must admit they tucker me out. In preparation for a day of crafts and hide-and-go-seek, I layered u...
Yesterday was particularly dreary, giving necessity for a comfy, cozy, and most importantly, cute outfit. Damp pant legs and skirt edges are a personal pet peeve of mine, so a short and sweet baby p...
We finally had our first real snow fall of the season this weekend, leaving the ground just covered enough for sledding and slipping. Despite some protest from the bf, I couldn’t resist using ...
I’ve never been the type of person who can read to fall asleep. Instead I find myself thinking, “One more chapter and then I’ll turn in for the night.” Case in point, I star...
The last few months have allowed me the luxury of running out of the house without a coat and not completely freezing. This last week however, winter decided to finally show up, making outerwear man...
I love how a casual outfit can feel that much more pulled together with the addition of a great pair of heels. Even an over-sized army green coat and tomato red denim (last seen here and here) becam...
I love when an outfit comes together completely on accident. This teal blue dress (worn as a skirt) and maroon top happened to be laying on top of one another in a pile of clothes to be hung and put...
Some weekends are perfectly spent lounging in comfortable clothes. This was one of those weekend, and I was content staying put on the couch watching the entire first season of Homeland with the bf....
