Lust List: Booties

It seems everyone is starting to get into the fall state of mind. And, even though I never want summer to end, I’m finding myself looking forward to next season as well. 

One of my favorite parts of my fall wardrobe are my booties. And I don’t want just any ankle booties this year. I want booties that scream "hey! look at my shoes!!". Because who doesn’t like a pair of shoes that can do all the talking for you?

Tea Party

I had an absolutely splendid weekend. I traveled to Albany to help throw and celebrate my bestie’s bridal shower. It was a lot of work, but the final product was a gorgeous and quirky feminine tea party (with a few llama touches thrown in there). Of course, hats were a requirement. So when I saw this hat, with the giant Blossom flower, hanging in a window, I knew it would be perfect.  

^That’s my Ashlee - the bride-to-be, ain’t she purdy?

Again

I know - I just wore these shorts, like, 4 outfit posts ago. I told you I really like them.

My hair was really frizzy and all over the place by the time I took these photos, and I was sweating profusely, But I really wanted to document this outfit. Proof that I basically haven’t taken these shorts off since I got them. I’m looking forward to fall as much as the next style blogger, but the day that it is finally too cold to wear them is going to be a sad, sad day. 

For those of you that follow me on Instagram, you may have saw that I was torn between two pairs of Warby Parker frames. Well, tadaaaaaaa - I chose Sinclair. I think Sinclair and Winston are gonna be best friends.

Fancy Casual

I kinda, sorta love this outfit. I just can’t get over the fancy/casual combo. Pair a basic tee with a pretty chiffon skirt, and you can’t lose. The only thing that would make this better would be if the skirt was more of a fuller, tutu shape. 

Great, now I feel the need to buy a tutu.

The Weekend

Our beach plans got foiled this weekend. So instead, we went furniture shopping, made popsicles, and worked on various projects. What does one wear for such a simple weekend? An easy tee dress and a scarf to cover up that greasy hair, of course. Because, who showers on the weekend, anyway?

Wait, that’s just me? Oh. 

………….

P.S - crisis averted… I have a working lens now. Phew, that got scary for a minute.

Bad Days (And Pretty Dresses)

*Siiiiiiigh* You guys, Wednesday was just one of those days. 

I think I broke my camera lens. Or maybe my camera body, but I think just my lens. It took a nose dive from atop my tripod, and it hit the ground. Hard. Something is definitely wrong now. The photos are now a little hazy - not as sharp as normal. 

And it makes me cry. Well, that and the giant burn on my stomach from splattered bacon grease. That makes me cry, too. But, lets be honest, it’s mainly the messed up lens. 

…..

Well, I have a fun new dress. So at least there’s that. 

…..

Here’s to hoping for a better weekend. Happy friday, my friends!

Story Of Some Lacey Shorts

I was really worried when I first ordered these shorts online about a month and a half ago. I worried that they would be too short, and too tight, and I would feel too uncomfortable in them to wear in public. 

But it has been the exact opposite of that. 

I have been living in them. I took them along on the honeymoon, and I wore them every other day. Literally. As a beach cover up, on the botanical gardens visit, and wherever else I could.  And I still can’t stop wearing them. Maybe it’s because they feel like I’m wearing pajamas, except they are really pretty. I mean, I do enjoy wearing my pajamas, and I do like pretty things. It’s a match made in heaven.

Lust List : Glasses

Lately, I’ve been obsessed with the idea of getting another pair of glasses. I wear mine every.single.day, and would love to have different options. I mean glasses are just another accessory, right? I don’t own just one necklace, or one pair of shoes, to go with every outfit. Right? Right - or at least, in my head.

 So, after my eye exam today, I’m going to order some! And then I’m hoping to ask for one or two more for christmas. Because I’m really that obsessed. And they are all oh, so pretty. How could I pick just one?
