Birthday Suit

 

Yes, I know my birthday is still more than two months away, but that doesn't mean I can't start planning what I'll wear to celebrate.  This dress from Madewell is on my wish list.  It looks extremely flattering and very versatile!

Day To Night Update

Remember how I said the one think I was missing from those day to night looks was a sweater dress...well, this one from Madewell is actuall a sweatshirt dress, but I think it will work.  I've wanted a sweater dress for a long time but most of them have tight skirts and make me look lumpy...with the pleats, this one won't do that!  Its multi-seasonal which you know I love.  Wear it like this when its warmer, layer it with sweaters/jackets and tights as it gets cooler!

Madewell Items of the Week

I didn't add anything fro Anthropologie to my wishlist this week so I'm showing you a few things from Madewell that caught my eye instead.

Bear with me...this one is a bit out of my normal comfort zone and probably is a much better idea in theory than in practice, but I saw a girl wearing a tunic like this with a black cami and black leggings underneath it the other day.  It seemed to show off the good parts of her figure while hiding other things.  I' not really sure its me, but its worth a try maybe.

Love the little cutouts in this dress and the color/pattern!

Madewell Braid

I'm loving the braid from the Madewell spring catalog...I'm sure I'm not coordinated enough to do it but its worth a try.  It would be a good summer hair style to keep long hair off your neck AND the messier it gets the better it looks which is a total plus in my book!

Inspiration

So yesterday was the first time in over a month that I was actually able to log into Pinterest from my computer.  I had to create a new account and repin all 628 of my pins...well actually only 526 made the cut but still, it was quite a bit of work.  Sorry if I blew up your Pinterest feed yesterday!

Here are a few pics I came across this morning that really inspired me.  They're not going on Pinterest, I saved them for you...my lucky readers!

Even though the whole colored jeans trend is prob about over, this makes me want to get a pair of green jeans!

Dying for neon nails now...I think I'm done with super dark colors for a little while!

Polka dots and Madewell.  Yes!



More from the Madewell Spring 2012 Collection

 I love, love, love the middle two outfits!

Jacket Love

I am seriously in love with this coat.  It makes me feel like someone who is cool enough to work at the Madewell headquarters in New York when I have it on (I tried it on at the store during my lunch break and left it on as I perused the store).

It is super warm and soft.  The fur is detachable which was a relief to me since I'm not usually a fur girl, but truth be told I kind of liked it.  Finally its long...so your booty will stay nice an toasty in this jacket! 

Madewell Spring 2012

So far I love everything I've seen from the Madewell Spring 2012 collection.  I love that with the jacket on this outfit is work appropriate but its also totally ready for happy hour after work!

I also can't wait until A. my hair is long enough for this style and B. I figure out how to actually do this style myself...I totally see myself rocking it to Braves games this summer!

Madewell New Arrivales

All of these have been added to my wishlist:

Lumberjack shirt...perfect for Georgia games on the couch.

Like the shirt, but can't decide on the color...maybe both?

Killer jacket.

Basic black flats...mine are about 5 years old and set me back about $20 when I got them...I think its time for an upgrade.

Feeling Dottie

Madewell has some great new arrivals...here are my picks:

I love, love, love this sweater...its super cute on...too bad its also the same color as my hair pretty much so its a no go for me, but you should def get it!

I've pretty much completly switched to bralettes instead of bulky underwire bras. This one is by Honeydew Intimates and is sold at Madewell. I. Need. It. And the matching boy shorts too!

Not polkadotted, but I still love it.

Madewell Spring 2012

Does this get anyone else excited about shopping at Madewell this spring?  I hope every single one of my birthday presents come in Madewell gift boxes!

Square Scarves

I've never worn square scarves before, but seeing this one from Madewell's fall collection kind of makes me want to!

Madewell Items of the Week

Love the versatility of this silk blouse...plus it has a rounded hem which I totally love.  Also comes in red, green and blush.

Casual but the buttons on the sleeve add a bit of interest.  Also comes in red, black, blue and white I believe.

Must Have Dress

This Madewell model does nothing for this dress, but beleive me when I say it looks beyond fab on...and the best part...it just went on sale so go get it for yourselves because it will be perf for fall weddings and all the super romantic dates I'm sure Alex will take me on!

Madewell Items of the Week

Anthropologie's new arrivals were a let now once again this week...I don't know if my tastes are changing or if they just haven't been getting good stuff in.

Either way I decided to share what I added to my Madewell wishlist instead this week.  They don't add new stuff as often as Anthro so I doubt I'll do this every week...but I'll def try to keep you updated when they do add new stuff.

Love the back of this shirt...the front is a simple scoop neck.  Also comes in white and olive.

This dress is just so versatile.  It also comes in a really pretty purple color but the model in the pic wearing it looks like a total frumpadinka.

Blue and black tunic? Yes please!  I want it to wear with black leggings next time I travel!

Madewell New Arrivals

Madewell just got a ton of new stuff in so I figured I share a few of my faves with you...

I've been trying to steer clear of pink, but this isn't too sweet of a pick so I'm ok with it...also the back is a racer back so that makes the dress a bit more edgy in my mind.

A cardi that cinches at the waist?  What's not to love?

Love the print and all the colors...from other pics of this shirt it looks like it might be a little short, but I still think its worth investigating.

This tank also has a racer back and it just looks so comfy to me.

If you have a Madewell near you they are having an denim event this Thursday...all denim is 20% off and the are going to have other sales going on as well...go check it out!

Spring Wardrobe Essential

With this nice spring weather I'm ready to put away my winter wardrobe.  One of my first purchases for spring is going to be these Rail Straight white jeans from Madewell.  I have a dark blue pair and love the fit...I have the perfect thing to pair with them but you'll have to wait for the Anthro Picks of the Week tomorrow to see it.

Anthropologie Items of the Week

Hello...is it me you're looking for?  Did you think I was dead?

Wrong.

I've just been a very busy worker bee and the celebs haven't been up to anything interesting, or at least not the ones worth reporting about.

Anthropologie has been a bit of a let down for me this week.  I did go get the red blouse (not the one with the stripes, but if they would have had it in the store I prob would have bought it too) I featured last week for a very special dinner tomorrow night and words can not express how much I love it.

Here is the only new arrival that caught my eye this week:

I saw a girl wearing a similar pair a few months ago an promptly scoured the Internet looking for a pair for myself but sadly my search was unsuccessful.  I should have know Anthro would come to my rescue like they always do.  They're on my wish list if any of you want to buy them for me for my birthday (hint hint).  Pretty please?  They're only $28 and only available online.

Since that wasn't a whole lot of good material I'm including a bonus jonas.

Look what I found at Madewell:

This pic doesn't really do this dress justice, but let me tell you, it is mighty fab.  Its silky, stripey, and BOTH flattering and comfortable on.  I tried it on the other day and am HEAD.OVER.HEELS in love with it...so much so I'm 99% sure its what I'll be wearing to one of my 25th birthday celebrations this year.  The down side is that its $138 so you better believe I'll be checking every day to see if it goes on sale and notifying you immediately when it does. 

These shorts blow my mind.  I'm not normally a huge fan of shorts mostly because they don't come in relaxed cuts...but the idea of wearing these is pure bliss to me.  If you can't tell by the pic they're silky.  You could wear them with tights and heels or boots when its cold out or with a breezy tee/tank in the summer time.  LOVE.

Oh Happy Day!

This has been the best Monday in a long time. Madewell now has an onlie store!


Who wants to buy this necklace fore me?

I better get started on a Madewell wishlist start to monitoring daily.
