What I'm Wearing Today

I took Tiger to the vet this morning for his last vaccine! Then we stopped at the pet store, grabbed some coffee and cocoa, then picked up Craig for a trip to the park. We actually hit up two parks and got lots of energy out before it rains. This was the perfect cozy running around town weekend outfit. 

This is the dress version of my favorite tank (seriously, I own like 20). It's the double scoop tank dress by BP (at Nordstrom) and sells for $24

Most favorite sweater ever! Laguna Coast Pullover, Free People, $88

Rebecca Side Laceup Moc Boot, Jeffrey Campbell, $138

Croc Lil' Q Satchel, Marc by Marc Jacobs, approx. $400 (I bought this a few years ago but the style is style available in new colors.)

Timeless Chunky Chain Head Wrap, Tasha, $38

I Do...want to wear every one of these.

I'm not really a wedding girl. I mean, someday sure, I'll get married and have a wedding but whenever I picture it it's more like a dinner party with a super quick ceremony thrown in. I don't dream of churches and flowers and cake and wearing white. I do dream of a fantastic menu and a party dress though.

Enter BHLDN (pronounced Beholden).

Now don't let the fact that for some reason someone decided it would be cool and not at all confusing to take all the vowels out of the name of this line or the fact that beholden means "owing thanks or having a duty to someone in return for help or a service" (which is not at all romantic) fool you. This is actually a pretty amazing new line of wedding apparel by the people behind Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, and Free People.

There are things like lingerie and jewelry and weird things for your hair and probably something blue and definitely something new but the most fantastic part is the dresses. I would wear these every day if I could.

What I'm Wearing Today

I usually don't like to wear red, white, and blue together because I don't like looking like a holiday when I get dressed but I really wanted to wear this outfit and I was too lazy/going to be late if I worried about changing purses. The pirate purse would have been a way better choice. C'est le vie.

Also I totally got these jeans for $30 and I love them.







Don't forget about the giveaway! Everyone needs a pink glittery spatula.

What I'm Wearing Today

It's been a long time (shouldn't a left you, left you, without a dope beat to step to).


Chambray sundress!


Boyfriend cardigan! Except I'm not naked!


Infinity scarf! Except mine is not choking me!


And the shoes of course.

A (not so) Secret Admirer

Sometimes people email me asking for some fashion advice and I love it. At one point I thought being a stylist would be awesome but that's easy. Given unlimited resources you're bound to find something worth wearing. The fun for me is when someone asks me to find them say, a dress for an event during the Summer at night. They like pinks and reds, love their legs, aren't a fan of their stomach, won't wear heels, aren't a necklace person, and want to spend $200. That's a challenge and that's where I have fun.

Recently someone asked me to help her find her wedding dress. I couldn't find exactly what she wanted and was a little worried she was going to be disappointed. Instead she was excited and extremely grateful. It was actually really lovely to hear and meant more than I'm sure she realized. And today I came home to a flower delivery from her. I don't think I have to tell anyone how happy it makes a girl to come home to flowers.

And her screaming cat (you'll notice he has both food and water already).





I'm not going to post a picture of the dress because it's hers to debut to the world but I will reveal, she's going to be one gorgeous bride.

Spring Wish List...done a little differently

So, for the past seasons I've made a wish list of clothes and accessories I would love to have to wear for that season. Some of the stuff I've ended up getting, some of it I haven't. When it comes to the warmer months though...I don't know. I suppose I possess no self control. I think of my style as feminine without being girly. I'm not into ruffles and pink and bunches of florals but I'd be kidding myself if I didn't claim to love an empire waist and dresses and beautiful, light fabrics. I'm also a sucker for a killer heel. So when Spring is headed our way I've already fallen for all the dresses and shorts and wedge sandals. And the last thing I need is to be making a list of things I want. In fact, I've cut myself off. So this season, rather than a list of all the things I want to wear, I'm going to give you all the things I'm going to wear. For me this is going to be the season of sundresses, maxi dresses, feminine blazers, and chunky heeled sandals.

Oh, and sparkle of course.

I'm feeling a little lazy so I'm probably not going to do my whole name of garment, brand, color name thing tonight. I bet you'll live though. If you really want the info for something you can ask.




I'm a little frightened of my boobs and this dress but I'll worry about that later.


This blazer looks a little boring but is a really beautiful light nude pink in person.


The second I saw this I had to have it. I am going to live in this dress.


I'll wear a shirt when wearing this blazer. How adorable over a sundress with sandals right? I can't wait.


These shorts are by Free People and are called "layering shorts." They're super see-through. Lana has a pair too but hers have flowers on them. She came up with the idea to wear little booty shorts under them. My plan is that, and I've got some super cute colors, or to use these under shorter dresses.


Okay, so I like some pink...


This dress is so pretty in person, so much better than the photo. I love how the drops on the dress get messy towards the bottom.


I'm in love with these shoes.


Okay, I like some florals too.


I paid $20 for these. And they are amazing. I saw the Noisettes once and Shingai Shoniwa was wearing sequined shorts. I had to have a pair and bought the perfect ones in black at Forever 21. This year every single label has a pair of sequined shorts out and they're all around $200 and up. And they all have sequins on the butt which is super uncomfortable and bad for the shorts. Mine were a fraction of that ridiculous price aaaaaaand have a nice clean smooth butt. Take that you sparkly assed bitches.


Do you want to wear these pants with me? You probably could. They are amazing by the way.


Cutest dress ever.


Lace blazers are definitely in my top ten favorite fashion things. I have one in black and I adore it. Spring calls for something a little lighter as well.


This is by a label I just recently discovered called Upson Downes. It's sold through Urban Outfitters and they make really simple, clean clothes in amazing fabrics. They are the masterminds behind the aforementioned sequined shorts as well.


We've talked about these. Like two days ago actually. But here they are again. They're so comfortable yet sexy and tall. You need them. That's all there is to it.


These are almost too cute but stay on just this side of the line. They're scalloped eyelet shorts. Actually, scratch that, they're being sold as an it. And it, is a skort. I mean come on right? Doesn't matter. I caved.


Well, I'm definitely not wearing any part of this outfit that is not the blazer.


Some of you might remember this dress from last Summer and my search for the perfect beach dress. I've actually been wearing it this Winter with sweaters over it but it's coming along for Spring too.


The gold glitter Jimmy Choos. I'm wearing these every season for the rest of my life.


These are fairly simple black shorts with a subtle ruffle trim. The fun thing though is they have a big sash attached to them that you can tie in a big bow in either the front or the back depending on what you're wearing.


I actually own this dress in green but I forgot to grab a shot of it back before it was sold out. It's so light and flattering and perfect. It's pretty sheer so I wear a tank under but how perfect would that slouchy white blazer be over this (when the dress is green)?


I bought this dress a few months ago and have not stopped getting compliments. It's my favorite having people over dress because it's pretty but I can still cook and pull things out of the oven and get drinks and host without worrying about if my dress is too short.


I know I've been doing a lot of clothes stuff lately but life has been crazy and I haven't had much time to cook. I'm planning on round two of ravioli soon though. I also have a really fun decorating project I'm going to try to finish up and post about this weekend.
