WEAR YOUR SHORTS TO WORK DAY

shorts5

After I found out that I could wear shorts to work, I immediately turned around and bought this pair. I’m currently obsessed with fluid, flowy shorts. And I’m imagining this pair working all summer long. I’m thinkiiiiiing… striped tee and strappy sandals for a sunny, ice cream filled day? Oh yes. But for work, they need to be dressed up. And, personally, nothing quite says ‘work appropriate’ more than a tailored blazer.

BLOSSOM AND MAXI

What a glorious, sunny, 80 degree day this was. *Sigh* if only it stayed that way. 

In other news, I absolutely LOVE the cut of this dress.

LOVE 'EM OR HATE 'EM

I know everyone is pretty strongly opinionated when it comes to the overalls trend. You either love em, or you hate em. And gosh darnnit, I LOVE EM. Seriously, I will buy all the overalls.

SOFT KITTY, WARM KITTY

Meow. 

And If you know what the title of the post is referring to, we can be best friends. Big Bang Theory is currently one of our favorite shows! Of course, Boo and I have discussed which character we are (as you usually do with your favorite tv shows and movies, right?!). Anyway, It only took us about a whole two seconds to determine that I’m most definitely a Raj. Most definitely.

» You know what? Being sick this time of year is the worst. It’s so gorgeous outside, and its taking everything in me just to get up off the couch. And make it through work without falling over. Blargh. 

» I should start a new feature called “things I bought from work last week”: these shorts and this romper (although technically I got the romper online. It’s an exclusive). 

» Recent Etsy treasuries featuring shopHollyDolly: one, two, three, four

» Just picked up my 3rd pair of Warby Parker frames this week. I went with cherry red! Although these were a close second. I’m thinking about doing a post all about my frames collection soon. 

» Interested in working together? Check out my sponsorship page!

» I love Emma Stone. And I love Jimmy Fallon. I especially love his lip-sync battles. This one was the best one ever. 

» Speaking of Emma Stone, hers was by far my favorite look from the Met Ball. What was your favorite?

SHIBORI, DARLING

shiboridarling1

Here it is! My first project with my DIY-ed shibori fabric. I’ve been dreaming up a knit/woven combo Darling Ranges dress for a long time, but just needed the right fabric. I did make a few mistakes, and ended up having to add some green binding to the armholes after cutting them too much (grrrr), but, overall, I am soooooo happy with the way it turned out! Just what I’ve been picturing :)
