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:

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.

Saturday Stroll

Worn on March 19th, 2011

I thought my purples were the same shade. They are not. Whoops. 

Boo and I had a nice Saturday. We went into Boston, walked around the park for a bit, saw a movie, grabbed a bite to eat, bought Boo some new work clothes, and then came back home to watch  the Sabres game. It was a casual, simple day. So I thought it would be a good time to break out the overall shorts again. I love these things, but I have a hard time wearing them because I feel like a 5 year old boy when I do. Oh wells.

For your enjoyment:

overalls and tights: Urban Outfitters

shirt and belt: Anthropologie

leopard ring: gift

boots: Vince Camuto

bag: Lucky Brand


The Forgotten Iced Coffee

Worn on March 18th, 2011

Friday was such a gorgeous day. Incredibly windy, but gorgeous nonetheless. I though putting my hair up in a top knot would be enough to keep my hair from blowing all over the place in the wind. But even with hairspray all those loose, fuzzy hairs were everywhere i these photos! Oh well, I don’t care. Because I’m wearing a skirt and no tights. That is insane.

So, I had a bunch of errands to run, and ended up running into Buffalo Exchange. I scored a gorgeous Marc Jacobs top, which I’m pretty proud of. And you know what, I left my new, full iced white mocha sitting on the shelf while shopping. And then never picked it back up. I’m just now realizing this - more than 24 hours later. I’m brilliant. 

dress (worn as top): Diane von Furstenberg
