Look Ma, No Tights!

worn on April 9th, 2011

O.M.G today is such a gorgeous day. Finally, some warm weather! 

I have a love/hate relationship with the dress. I mean, its super duper cute. But when I wear it I always seem to have this problem with the buttons. That problem being that, sometimes with the slightest movement, they come undone. Thats right, without warning, I could be flashing everyone in the room. Since I’m wearing it tonight to a dinner at Boo’s Boss’s house, I figured a wardrobe malfunction would be incredibly inappropriate. So I was trying to figure out how else I could wear it, and I figured - why not wear it completely open? What do you think?

Back On Track

worn on April 7th, 2011

Phew. I took a few days off from outfit posts there, but hopefully I’m back on schedule! This was an outfit I meant to wear while I was home but never did. So I thought I would put it on for… a trip to the grocery store. I mean, you can never go wrong with leopard and red. No matter what the occasion. At least, thats my theory. 

As you can see I’m sporting a spiffy new item in these photos. My birthday is still two weeks away, but I’m already carrying my THEIT Bossi bag, and typing this from my new ipad. Mwahahaha. I have the best fiance and parents in the world. But yes! My THEIT bag! Isn’t it fancy? It was sitting on my doorstep when I got back from the airport Wednesday, and I couldn’t wait to tear the box open. Its so purdy! I love it. You can bet you’ll be seeing a lot more of it.

My Trip Home

I’ve been a bad little blogger. I had every intention to keep up with blogging while I was home. I took home everything I need to take my photos and post. But day after day went by and at the end of the trip - I had no outfit photos. My bad. We will back to regular scheduled programming tomorrow. But I did take a few random photos with my nifty new ipad that I thought I would share!

1. Little Nevy - my flower girl. We went to the mall with her and she insisted on riding every one of these rides. And then when she was done with them - she wanted to ride the escalator. Over and over and over. Kids. 

2. My kiki! She ignored me for the most part. As usual. 

3. My favorite place on earth. HSBC arena for the Sabres game. And yay! We won!

4. Seesters!

5. It rained. It snowed. Thats right- snowed. Hey Buffalo - its April. Just thought you should know.

6. Tim Horton’s Iced Capp. So yum. 

Wedding Wednesday- Polka Dots

Its no secret that I love me some polka dots. And it’ll be a safe bet that I will be sneaking some in to my wedding. Probably just in some details though. Some ideas? well of course…..

Polka Dot Pom by PomLove

Flower girl dress by Liitle Pink Hanger

Straws by Cupcake Social

There is also this polka dot dress on Modcloth that would make an adorable bridesmaids dress, but the site seems to not be working for me right now. Maybe I’ll sneak it in later. 

Happy Travels

worn on April 2nd, 2011

Greetings from good ol’ Chaffee, NY. I’m home for a few days visiting family and what not. I love Buffalo, I really do. But its snowing. SNOWING. Really Buffalo? Thats enough of that. But yeah, I love being home. Family, Tim Hortons, The Buffalo Sabres, and early presents from my parents (even though I’ll also be home for my birthday too) :) So far it has been splendid. 

This is what I wore for my travels Saturday morning. Its pretty simple. But it was early, it was cold, I wasn’t feeling so good, and lets face it - traveling alone isn’t that fun. Easy peasy was the way to go. 

Boo told me to “get excited. You’re going home and going to a Sabres game.” This is what he got out of me:

Today is friday, which means I should be doing an Etsy Favorites Friday. But to be honest, I don’t know how I feel about doing those posts. Weekly, at least. Don’t get me wrong - I love the amazingness that is Etsy. And I have lots of favorites that I could share. I’ll probably do random ones here and there, just not regularly. I gave it a shot, and I wasn’t feeling it. So instead - I give you an outfit post. 

Continuing my love for Pinterest, yesterday morning I came across this image re-pinned by Suze.  I fell in love with the proportions - short sweater over long shirt and wide leg pants. A few hours later, I was re-creating it. In my version, the shirt maaaaay be just a bit too long. But I think I like it. Yeah - I like it.

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! 

Oh, and thanks Boo for noticing that one sleeve was shorter than the other. Geez, so incompentent. (KIDDING!)
