Balanced even in all white

I spent four years living near a beach where there was definitely a heavy bohemian influence. It has definitely played a part in my style, but I've always been sure to balance it with preppy or grungy elements. The flowy maternity like top is awesome for the humid heat, but the more structured shorts and sandals clean it up a little.

Blank canvas

Coat- JCrew, blazer- Theory (similar here), bag- Marc by Marc, shoes- Converse, pants- JBrand

Fresh from a blow out from drybar (can't go wrong with the Cosmo) with no makeup to match my very one shaded outfit just one big blank canvas if you will. It was the first day in weeks at that point when the sun was shining (you can still see the snow on the ground), and I had to get a few shots in. This coat has been the greatest addition to my collection this season, that and the Burberry trench I inherited from my mom. I had been looking for a longer more structured coat in a fun color, and when JCrew was able to find the last one in my size in New Jersey I knew it was fate. Keeping the preppy theme going, but I don't hate it dare I say I kinda like it.

Posts have been slower on here, and life has been a bit of a blank canvas for me. Trying to figure out the direction Avis is going to go in. Bear with me a little longer as a remodel of the site and refocus will be here in the coming weeks.

Goodbye fall

Vest- Levi's, t-shirt- Madewell, skirt- Asos, shoes- Asos, necklace- Marc Jacobs special items, belt- BB Dakota

Although I was really pushing it with this more exposed outfit and shivering for some of the shots, it really was the last day of fall before that crazy weather drop that has meant I've been hiding behind a thick coat for the past couple of weeks. I felt so lucky to work with such a talented photographer, Hafsa, who shares my love for all things fashion and knows that it's all about the details. Please check out her amazing work on her website, and maybe you'll even get to see her in person capturing the moment in DC. Even in the chilly weather, these photos turned out beautifully and the backdrop didn't hurt.
