bow peep









I cannot believe it's been a week since I've last posted (tisk tisk)! Honestly, it has felt twice as long and these past few days have been very busy -- not to mention cold and rainy too. I am totally in need of some sunshine, so I have been adding little pops of color to my outfits, makeup and hair. Its funny how everything seems to go dark once this time of year comes by, myself included (why I am continuously pulled towards that side of my wardrobe in January will always mystify me). I had fun layering my daily winter pieces with this premature Valentine's Day printed dress and oversized blue bow. Of course I can't say no to a red lip (who can?), and this oversized scarf is my most recent flirtation with learning to knit. Not bad for a beginner if I do say so myself!
