Closet pep talk

This morning I was all "what should I wear?" So I put on my favorite skinnies (ahem, Target) and stood there peering in my closet. You know the days where you don't even have a thought of what you want to look like?

Well that was today. So I went online to Madewell and I saw this:

So I thought "Ya, I'll wear a belt!" Then I put on my fantastic orangey-silky blouse tucked in which really pops against the dark denim.

I thought "Ya this is working!" and was watching Honey while sipping my coffee and finishing hair/make up (wish I had a stylist to help with that).

Then I spilled coffee down my orangey-silky blouse.

Super.

Pulled it off (actually, quite quickly due to those little snaps!) and threw on a navy tee.

Oh well, at least it's Friday! Will be making my third stop at the cleaners this week.

What's black and white and red all over?

she is.

Big Deal.

Have you seen the Madewell Spring Look book sneak peak? Pretty jazzed about the looks...I pretty much love each and every one of them.

In other news, my couch arrived today!! At the exact moment that I sat my tush in my chair at work, my phone rang to tell me they were on the way to my place...super. :)

Awkward Teenage Years

So...at age (almost) 13, were you this cute?

Ok I was too, just checking because I wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one that never had horribly awkward years filled with braces and crimped hair and bad haircuts and break outs. I looked just like Elle and even had her same outfits! Didn't you?

Let's be serious..Dakota had quite the awkward (or at least "little girl" stage) and it seems Elle has jumped right on over that!

cold.

La la la...the weather turns to 20 and I look fabulous still.

my hair blown straight and full of volume...

la la...I have the cutest winter accessories with a perfect mix of fur and sequins

Oh these? my adorable grey leather gloves. and my poofy skirt is perfectly practical for snow.

Only kidding. I look more like this when the weather is cold and wet.

Inspired by.

Plain and simple: White Ruffles.
