Hello!
Doesn't that strawberry cream pan look delicious? They're my new obsession now! Yum! I lost 4 lbs last week so I decided to reward myself with it yesterday while out with Robert. It's now back to fruits and veggies, and morning bike rides until next week if I lose more weight. I still have a long way to go until I'll be truly happy with myself, but I think I'm doing well so far!

It was a little too warm to be wearing a beanie and a cashmere cardigan, but as much as I'm ready for Spring, I don't think I'm ready to let go of wearing layers quite yet. I'm probably going to wear tights until it becomes utterly unbearable to be with them. Ever since I started working everyday, I haven't been reading on the trends as closely as I used to (not that I followed them anyway, but it was nice to be inspired). I have no idea what trends are going to be big in Spring or what I'm planning to wear. I see myself in lots of florals and nautical looks though--but then again, what's new? I'm either in nautical looks or in something floral. I want to try something new. I know I'll probably play around with graphic tees some more. I'm digging the tribal prints that I've been seeing in stores so maybe I'll experiment with that this next season. I'm really pushing myself to try new looks this year. Getting myself to do a post in my denim leggings is still a work in progress though!

Don't forget to enter my giveaway!

Until next post,
Jasmine

  1. This is so adorable, Jazzy! I absolutely love the colour palette and (yes!) layers :) If you were in Vancouver right now, you could easily get away with that, plus a nice wool-blend coat. Congrats on losing 4lbs! Keep on going, perserverance is the key! <3 Miss you lots! xo

  2. This is just ADORABLE! I love the hat! It's so cute. Maybe I COULD live in California now, since you're wearing tights and a hat :)Congrats on 4lbs!!! I lost 5 pounds over winter break and 3 since school started and it's the BEST feeling:) You're beautiful in and out, Jasmine:)

  3. Too warm for hats and cardigans? Boy am I jealous! I can't wait for a warm sunny spring day. It can't come soon enough. And you have got some great contrast going on with all your layers.

  7. I am getting hungry just to look at that pan, looks so good!
    Your outfit its so so pretty, I love all its colours.
    My Spring will be filled with nautical and floral items for sure, and nautical seem to be "on trend" but I've been obsessing about it for a long time haha.

  9. I really likes this outfit Jasmine!
    For spring, I see myself (hopefully) wearing more skirts and dresses. I am such a pants/jeans type of girl. Also, it's still snowing here in the DFW area and I just can't get myself to wear cute skirts or tights. =/ But, hopefully, this spring, I will be able to!!

  10. Lovely outfit. :D
    For spring I think it's camel colours, florals, nautical (as per usual) and trousers, flared pants, long skirts, and COLOUR.

    all over the place it seems.

  11. Once again you look adorable! the shirt and skirt and bow belt and bow shoes, aawww perfect combo! And this pancake looks so yummy!
    I think it's right to reward oneself while dieting. I'm trying to lose weight too and it's so hard to not give in, too many yummy things everywhere ;)

  12. i don't understand why its such a big deal to wear your jeggings...

    ReplyDelete
  13. I always adore your bow belts! So cute! The whole outfit looks amazing!

  14. This is so pretty! I love it. Your bow belt is precious. I think I need to get rolling with the etsy purchasing thing! And don't listen to them anonymous haters. I understand why wearing jeggings is weird and why posting pictures in them is weirder yet- I never feel comfortable posting them! I feel prettier in skirts;)

  15. I adore this outfit, great colours and details. The beanie is so cute on you, perfect with your dark hair. I'm all about floral and nautical all year round too, you're not the only one! x

  16. Oh Jasmine, you are just the CUTEST! I love this outfit. You have such a knack for pairing colors and patterns, and that blue beanie is the perfect touch!
    Oh, and congratulations (again, hehe) on losing four pounds! That is AWESOME.

  17. Looks delicious! (and by that I mean both the dessert and you! lol.....not in a creepy way) and MAJOR CONGRATS on 4 pounds! that's awesome! I'm trying to lose weight too - I lost 5.5 pounds in the past 3 weeks but the college lifestyle is really starting to get to me...I'm off to the gym after I finish blog-reading! good luck with everything!

  18. Congrats Jasmine, that's a great accomplishment. Bah, I could never stick to a workout schedule. The only thing I could do was back in HS when I played tennis 5 or 6 days a week. Since then, it's so hard to work out at a boring old gym! Maybe I should bike like you! I would have to get a cushion for my bike first though...the seat always hurts my bottom haha!

  19. My stomach is grumbling from that photo! I can never resist anything with strawberries - fresh or otherwise! Hm, I'm most excited about the 70's making a comeback in this year's S/S collections! Go figure. Lol. But I always love seeing your floral/nautical concoctions and I'm sure this year will be better than ever for you! <3

    PS
    I am still totally coveting that belt Jazzy!

  20. That pastry is pure torture to look at...ugh, now I want to go to the bakery :)

    You're the best when it comes to mixing colors. You do it so well, I really need to learn from you.

  21. You lost 4lbs?!?! Yay yay yay! Good job, Jasmine! It's so difficult for me to lose just a pound :( Keep up the good work, girl! :)

    I love the mix of colors in this outfit, especially the pop of green and yellow. Another great transition outfit from winter to spring :)

  22. You are so cute, that yellow belt makes me smile almost as much as you are in your pics! I can't wait to see your spring looks, the floral+nautical look is completely lovely.
