Hi there! Today I have yet another collaboration with one of my favorite bloggers, Jules from Life's Jules. She has earned so much success recently, and I'm so glad to have met her on Instagram! We got the idea to style some of the S/S '14 trends featured on Asos right now, starting with Candy Shop (aka pastels). Pastels are the epitome of springtime, so what better way to welcome the better weather with its signature theme?

Check out more of Jules' photos on her blog now (link above)!

My pastel piece is this simple sweater from Zara. Here in New York, our transition into spring hasn't been the warmest. I saw this sweater during January's sale and picked it up knowing I would still get a lot of use out of it. I love how although it is basic, it has this thick partial turtleneck detail to keep it a bit more interesting. Details like these add a subtle touch of chic to an otherwise minimalistic look.

Are you as excited about spring's color palettes as I am? I'm ready to abandon my dark winter looks! Check back on Monday for my next post - it will be a special one!

Is it spring yet? The pastel trend for this winter has been getting me too excited for the following season. I don't know how much longer I can bear the twenty-degree weather. I'm anxiously waiting for uncovered green lawns and longer sunshine! For now, this outfit is my way of channelling the beauty of spring.

This Zara coat is a great transition piece between winter and spring. Its color is reminiscent of the warmer months, while the blanket-esque material adds bulkiness for this Northeastern chill. I like how the boxy silhouette makes the outfit a little less refined as well. Since my outerwear makes such a bold statement, I styled it with an overall simple and neutral look. I think the striped boatneck tee creates a nice contrast while maintaining femininity. I tend to embrace my girly side when the weather warms up, so think of this as a sneak peek. 

Let me know what you think of the pastel trend for winter! Thanks for stopping by :)
