mint champagne

I don't know what to say other than I love this color combo. Who knew mixing champagne and mint would be so pleasing to the eye? Take one part pleated skirt, throw in a touch of mint pointy toes and a sprinkle of tiny stars for your sleeve. Add some retro sunnies and soft curls. Serve shaken not stirred -- this skirt clearly loves the movement.

monochromatic

If you've been following me for a while, you'd know that I'm addicted to patterns. The majority of my looks incorporate some type of pattern, which I unconsciously marry to other complimenting designs. However, the promise of spring weather has inspired my more simple wardrobe pieces to come out and play. This is my take on the monochromatic trend. It is a subtle approach, but I am all for the ways these similarly hued blues balance each other perfectly, much like my pattern mixing often does. Plus it gave me the perfect excuse to wear my headband out and about!

bedhead

I kind of like how this outfit looks like I just rolled out of bed with the tousled hair and nightgown shaped dress. I also kind of like the peek of skin, welcoming spring in the most subtle way even if I was kind of covered in goosebumps all day. And one more thing I like about this look? The print on print accessories and touch of quirky cartoon. Oh and my tan. Yes, I do like that as well.

reality and reminiscing

Have you missed me?! 

I've missed you all as well as blogging on a more regular schedule. My too long absence has been a result of a rather harsh dose of reality in the form of beach withdrawals and a last minute cold. I am going to bore you guys again with a select few of my most favorite vacation pictures. They make me miss the smell of sunscreen, aqua seas, my old and new friends I had to leave behind, magical castles and laying in the sunshine all day. I mean whats a girl to do with a tan in New England?? I hope you enjoy these -- and stay tuned for my return to more fashion based posts soon!

**Be sure to check out my feature on Kirstin's blog Crimson Rosella (even though it is a week late)!! And definitely check out her blog as well :)

paradise found

I have been quite MIA this past week and have barely touched my computer in days -- not that I am complaining. These past few days in Florida have been exactly what the doctor ordered with the warm sunshine, beautiful scenery and good friends by my side. I'm coming to a point where I am thinking I don't want to leave. I'll try my best to post again soon -- but for now, this is just a brief snapshot of my paradise found.

my pet

Those of you who know me will get a kick out of this shirt -- I totally did when I first saw it. It was one of those purchases where I picked it up and walked straight to the cashier without a moment's hesitation. Yes, I love these oddball pups and their extra long bellies. And, yes those are hundreds of tiny deer on my bum.
