Going to learn how to make this adorable hat this winter.



Love the plaid and stripes combo.

 

Next time I wear a scarf I'm going to tie it like this.

 

Cute, casual and comfortable looking maternity style.  Is it too early to add flat booties to my Christmas list?

 

I'd like to start slowly redoing our bedroom.  I can't stand the bright green and yellow damask pattern we have going on right now.  I thought I wanted to go gray and blue, but this has me second guessing that. I do have a weakness for olive green.  I already own that exact lamp, or pretty close to it.

Style Inspiration

Black dress, white jacket, crossbody (can't tell if its tan or red, luckily I already own both), colorful locket (I put that one on my Etsy wishlist years ago and never got it, maybe I will have to now).

Would it be weird if I got camo jeans?  I kind of want a pair thanks to this pic.

Love the chambray/maxi skirt combo here.

This little lady's boots are pretty sweet.

Sorry if these are repeats...I don't think I've posted on them, I tried going back to check and it doesn't look like I have, but I still feel like I already have!

 

 

This would have been a good 4th of July outfit.  Madewell has a similar dress right now and I love the pop of color the necklace adds.  I also love the shape of those shades.

 

I would prob never wear an outfit like this, but I do like it.  It makes me want cowboy boots.  I think I could at least pull off a triangle scarf over a slouchy sweater.

 

The top is Madewell, but its sold out.  I found a similar one in my closet and recreated the outfit.  I assumed the jeans were skinnies, but I went and looked at the original post and they're actually flares with heels...I think you could go either way.  Also love her hair.

Gap Items of the Week

I think I've mentioned before that Gap is back on my radar since its the best the Asheville mall has to offer.

 

 

I've gone back and forth for years on whether I would wear a jean jacket again or if it would make me feel too 90's.  I like the shrunken cut of this one...maybe I'll finally purchase one.  Looking at it made me nostalgic about back too school shopping.  I love this time of year when its still hot out but stores are starting to put out fall clothes for back to school.  I think it was my favorite shopping trip of the year growing up.  Better than birthday shopping or Christmas shopping, right?

 

If you know anything about me you know I love bright colors.  I also love multicolored things that can be worn with different solids.  While doing a recent inventory of my scarf collection I realized that I was lacking a striped scarf.  I ordered this one and can't say enough good things about it.  Light weight.  Neon.  Stripes.  Love everything about it!

Anthropologie Items of the Week

 

Simple summer tank...I think it could be dressed up.

 

Polka dota AND stripes?! Done.

 

I think this would get a lot of wear!

 

Love me a safari dress.

Anthropologie Items of the Week

 

I've decided I need to invest in a skinny belt.  Both of these seem like good choices but I'm leaning more towards the one below.  It's clean and classic and I think I'd wear natural leather more than gold.

 

This dress is has really pretty details even though its hard to see in this pic...go to the web site and look at the green one to see for yourself.  I'm also kind of obsessed with that belt.  This dress is super cheap for Anthro so I'm kind of questioning the quality...it will prob show every lump and bump or be totally see though...but I still like it for now.

 

This book is so AWESOME.  It used to cost way more but now there is a paperback version that's way cheaper...its basically city guides for long weekend trips...how cool is that!

Wish

I've been having trouble getting pictures to load and what fun would a post be without pictures.  I've finally discovered a work around so I can keep sharing with you until the problem gets resolved officially!

 

 

I wish I could get my hair to look like this.

 

 

I wish it was warm enough to go camping so I could try this out...might come in handy if the power goes sometime before it warms up!

 

I wish this little clutch from Gap was in my closet right now.  If they start making it in emerald green it will be.

 

 

I wish this didn't cost a zillion dollars, I think it would make a really cute coin purse.  Apparently Alex knows someone who works with leather so maybe he can get one made for me on the cheap!

Looks I Love

Like the idea of mixing black and camel...not sure I'm a fur kind of girl though.

Chambray shirt tied at the waist with a skirt...can't wait to wear this look!

Their outfits all look so effortlessly cool.  I just know that if I happened to run into this group on the street they'd instantly be my friends.

This necklace has really been growing on me...especially now that its on sale.  A unique color combo that I think would be surprisingly versatile.

Want some skinny gold bands that I can stack or wear individually!

Anthropologie Items of the Week

I like the idea of blue earrings as your something blue for a wedding.  All of these would be great options:

Bold blue.

These are described as mint so they might not look as blue in person.

This last option is much less fancy, but could work for a rustic wedding and would be more likely to be wearable in everyday life.

Style Inspiration

Have I shared this picture before?  I can't remember.  Its what finally convinced me to get a pair of colored skinny jeans.  Once I saw they could be styled to wear it seemed like a no brainer...especially in red so they could be worn for game days!

O love the lace blouse and the big leather tote.  I also really like her bangs.  Which is bad.  I can not count the  number of times I've thought bangs were a good idea and then felt major regret after I got them.  Luckily I haven't found a place to get my hair cut here so I'll have a few more weeks to come to my senses before I'll be in Atlanta again and could get a hair cut!

On My Wishlist

Really want some gold stacking rings.

This clutch...of course I love it in blue, but I think if I actually purchased it I'd get it in gold.  Its Claire Vivier.

I also love the rest of the outfit pictured!

Anthropologie Items of the Week

Actually, just one item this week...

Anthropologie Items of the Week

Apparently this bracelet come in different versions with maps of all the astrological symbols on them.  I like this one best (Sagittarius) and I would have no idea its a map of anything in the first places so I don't think you necessarily need to get your own sign.

I really think I'm going to jump on the colored jean band wagon!

Anthropologie Items of the Week

I don't know if these things are really that great or if the warmer sunny weather is getting to my head but this weeks picks have me super excited about spring...

This pot made me want to grow strawberries...not exactly sure why, but it did.

Love the bright colors and the cinched in waist.

When I first saw these I thought the screamed Hardee, then Katrina, then Nina C., then Suz, then me...since I thought they'd be just perf for so many people I decided to go ahead and post them.  Phwhy (that's FYI spelled phonetically...the phrase is used quite often around the slam house) I recommend wearing this shape with the points sticking out...I have a pair of similar shaped earrings and when you wear them with the points facing in the earrings get lost with the shape of your jaw...they're much more standout facing out!

Have I featured this dress before?  It was on my wishlist for a while but I took it off because I thought it was too plain and boring...but then I saw it again on a model and it made me reconsider it.  Sure its conservative but I think it could be pretty versatile and the reviews for this dress were outstanding!



Etsy Find

While I'm on the subject of Etsy finds I want to share these bracelets with you.

They come in all sorts of leather and metal combos.  I thought the tan leather with gold would be very versatile but I also think I would wear the gold on gold a lot.  I'm even feeling bold enough to ask for my own color combo.  Gray leather with gold metal.  Don't you think that would just be the bee's knees?



Cat Eyed Sunnies

I actually know this girl, I went to college with her and she's from the same area I grew up in.  If she can pull off cat eyed sunnies so can I (remember I posted about wanting a pair a while back).

I think I'll check out Urban some time this week to see if they have a pair I like.  I'd expect them to carry a cheap version of this style and I'm not ready to commit to a good pair just yet.

Love this Look

Mostly I just love that scarf...especially the tassels on the scarf...but of course I think you can't go wrong with a tunic style sweater (although I'm pretty sure I'd steer clear of ones with fuzzy textures) or dark jeans or tan boots.

Things of Importance in this Picture...

1. William obvi got Kate a puppy for her 30th birthday.  Lucky.

2. I recently told Alex he was not allowed to buy a similar hat because I didn't think anyone could successfully pull off that style.  I was wrong William can, but I still think that muggles CAN NOT.

3. Nina has the same boots as Kate...I may start calling her Princess or Duchess Nina.

Wedding Inspiration

I wish a fire pit was part of my every day life, so of course I wish there was going to be involved in my wedding day!

I die for this cuff.
