My Favorite Colors

worn on March 27th, 2011

I’ve really been loving red lately. I didn’t have a whole lot in my wardrobe, but I seem to have acquired quite a bit these last few weeks. New favorite color? seems like it. It might have something to do with my wedding planning. I’m going with a lot of reds and yellows. And some blue. And bows and stripes. So basically what I’m wearing is completely reflective of my wedding style haha. In a casual, weekend-wear kinda way, of course. I didn’t realize that. How silly.

Wedding Wednesday

I have a new obsession. And that obsession is Pinterest. Its amazing for organizing all of your inspiration- especially wedding inspiration. Its like a virtual corkboard. Now I can see my ideas all put together in one place. Its also a good place for finding new images/ideas. My favorites:

Amaaaaazing colors. Pretty much what I’m going for. I also stumbled upon a tutorial for making those circular lanterns. Perfect DIY!

How had I not thought to have a drink bar?! Lemonades, iced teas, fun straws. I neeeed a lemonade stand. 

Things I Love

March 26th, 2011

Lately I’m really loving: 1. my new Spotted Moth Doctor Doctor Bag, and 2. my Seychelles heels from Modcloth. I actually got these shoes for christmas. But seeing that It was a snowy, muddy hot mess these last few months, I was careful not to wear them. Now that it is a bit nicer I don’t want to take them off! Obvs, seeing as I’ve worn them twice in the last 3 posts. 

These photos were taken in Boston. At first we weren’t going to do anything saturday except lounge around and watch movies. But then Boo turned to me and asked if I wanted to go to H&M. Um, YES PLEASE.

A Pretty Little Scene

March 25th, 2011

This skirt is one of my first vintage purchases from The Garment District in Cambridge. Its not something I would usually go for, but there was something about this scenic little print that I couldn’t resist. And being the length that it is, I originally was going to wear heels. But when I got dressed, you know, it just wasn’t a heels kind of day. But thats ok, because I think the oxfords look quite nice. 

I wore this to run some errands and then have our friday date night dinner with Boo. Lovely evening :)

And don’t forget to enter Kelsey’s giveaway where you can win the bow tie necklace of your choice from my shop! Its open until tomorrow night, so go enter!

A Very Windy Day

Worn on March 22nd, 2011

It did not look this windy out my window. You see, I had curled my hair on Tuesday. Curled it good. The perfect, just wavy-enough look that I always wanted. And then I stepped outside….. into a wind tunnel. Oh wells, maybe next time. Now, enough complaining.

This is the Marc Jacobs top that I mentioned I picked up at Buffalo Exchange last week. My instinct was to pair it with black skinny jeans and a cropped black cardigan. But then I saw these pants sitting there. And surprisingly, the bright colors of the top looked pretty good with the army green. Or at least I thought it did. What do you think?

Oh yes! One more thing…. You know Kelsey, right? Well if you don’t, you should go check out her blog- Snappy Casual. She is super adorable. AND - she is hosting a giveaway of a bow necklace from my shop. The winner can choose which one they want, and its open until tuesday. Head on over here to enter!

Its Wedding Wednesday

So last week I posted some dresses that were pretty, but not really me. Well, this week I’ll give you a little look at what I do like. A designer I absolutely love is Amsale.

Nadine

Seriously, this is my dream dress. This is exactly what I am looking for. I love Nadine. 

Blakely

Liza

And for good measure, this one from Christos:

Lydia

So basically, If it has big ruffles, bows, or fun fabric I’ll love it. I’m really just into something sweet, but whimsical and FUN. I actually have many dresses that I love, but there is just something about the Amsale dresses that I just keep going back to. And now you know. 

Oh, Hey New Bag

Worn on March 20th, 2011

I really need to stop taking pictures in the middle of the day. I need better lighting. Washed out and shadow-y is so not cool. 

Anyway, I was so excited to get this bag! Its a ombre doctor bag i ordered from Spotted Moth. I’m thinking about doing a little DIY and turning the inside into a camera bag. Hmmmmm, stay tuned. 

I think I burped right before this picture was taken. ‘Scuse me.
