Bringing it back...
I used to wear this head scarf ALL the time in college. Any given night of the week, you could find me and Goblet down at the Tavern - me usually in this head scarf, a bright sun dress, and my cowboy boots - Gaby always in something super fabulous with 6 inch heels. We would typically be dancing (and singing) to country songs, Journey, hardcore rap, or Hanson (which for some reason was always on...
Une femme...
There’s nothing that makes me feel more feminine than polka dots, lace, and a flouncy skirt. Since the weather has been kind of schizophrenic up here, I added this spring coat to keep the chill away.
I love the muted paisly - and how there is a burst of neon in the lining.
I added some color with my rose purse and some bright lipstick. Pearls keep up with the lady-like theme.

The day before humpday...is pre-humpday?
I wore this over the weekend, before the weather returned to it’s regularly scheduled programming and I had to pull my winter coat back out (siggggh). I seriously love the mix of colors and patterns here though - for someone who has been traditionally afraid of animal prints, I really have embraced them now.
Although I definitely have on my ‘bored face’, I think these...
Getting a little personal...
I am a smart girl. I excel in logic. I can argue either side of an issue, and I bet by the end I can make you agree with me.
On the flip side, I am a hopeless romantic (emphasis on hopeless). I listen to my heart over my head Every…Single…Time. I put myself out there more than I ‘should’. I usually give people more chances then they logically deserve. I see things through to the bitter end...
Pinspiration...
I couldn’t understand why I woke up in the morning and pulled this awesome outfit right out of my closet without any true thought about how I was going to put it together. I figured it was just my own spring-style-amazingness.
Then, later, when I was looking through my pins, I realized that I pinned pretty much this exact same outfit on Pinterest the day before (and proceeded to eat some...
Nude...
I know this season is all about the bright shoe (and I’m not going to lie…I’m totally jumping on that bandwagon - I’m on a quest for the perfect pair of turquoise heels)…but I have to say I love a good nude pump. They make your legs look longer, match every outfit, and can be worn for pretty much any occasion (except scaling mountains..and if were being honset fire...
Living the questions...
Last week I posted an inspirational quote on Tuesday, and it seemed like some of you liked it! I figured I’d keep with the tradition and post another one this week.
Today’s is rather poetic:
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the...
Stud...
Friday night I wanted to be comfy but still wear something special. My trusty boyfriend jeans (worn out to perfection), pink blouse, and some badass studded heels fit the bill.
You can tell I was feeling hardcore by my I’m-in-a-leather-jacket-don’t-mess-with-me face.
I’m trying to roll over that attitude into my Monday. Bring it on week!

Dance face...
I was wondering why ALL my pictures came out with really awkward faces - and then I realized I was listening to music and laughed out loud (I lol’d for real). Music was a fun idea, except that I ended up making what my sister terms my ‘dance-face’…which apparently happens when my body can’t concentrate on both dancing AND keeping my features uncontorted. I...
Feeling blue...
Beware: today I’m going a little existential with this post.
Somedays you just feel a little blue for no really good reason. When that happens to me, I try to look for inspiring quotes. Sometimes the ones that resonate with me that particular day, also surprise me.
Today it was,
Every day, God gives us, as well as the sun, a moment when it is possible to change anything that...
A beautiful day for a drive...
Sunday was the most beautiful day. It was warm enough for bare legs (finally!) and a gorgeous drive through the ‘burgh. A little shopping and an amazing dinner with family made it a wonderful end to the weekend and my ‘spring break’.
The layers in this outfit were key - as the day warmed up the jacket and scarf went into my bag - but after the sun went down, they went...
Go Big or Go Home...
I’m historically bad at wearing color. My closet is full of black, grey, white and navy blue. I am much more comfortable in neutrals with a pop or two in an accessory or nail polish. However, maybe it’s because I’m living in a place that actually has seasons, but I find myself super obsessed with all the amazing spring colors out there. Light mint green, hot pink, coral -...
Cold shoulder...
There is nothing more flattering and comfortable than a classic wrap dress. Shoulder cut-outs and leopard print make this one anything but ordinary.
Add in the fact that I got it for $15 buckaroos at a sample sale - and it’s pretty much perfect.
I have tomorrow off of work (woohoo!), it’s so warm out that I didn’t have to wear tights today, and I’m...
Muted...
This outfit was sort of a grab-whatever-you-can-find-you’re-running-late kind of outfit but I ended up really liking the muted mix of blush and brown.
The basic trousers are dressed up a bit with a lace blouse. I kept it work appropriate by adding the blazer and scarf.
I wore this yesterday with my big winter coat, but I wanted to point out that this morning I had to take...
