Outfit Post: Patterned for Spring

Posted on by in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , in Outfit Post | 6 Comments

Me, you and everyone else in the continental United States is ready for spring (even those charmed individuals in Florida, Texas and California).

The thing is, spring’s not quite ready for us. In an attempt to deal with the up and down temperatures, I’ve been dressing in layers. But rather than just a tee and cardigan (which I do love), I’ve tried to infuse some bright colors {and patterns} into my layering.

This may be a little much for some people but I’ve resolved to try and be a little less basic this spring. Obviously I love stripes (you may have seen yesterday’s love letter to them), a sneak of bright gingham check and a dash of leopard. I snagged these oxfords on sale a couple weeks back and have had them in heavy rotation ever since.

Tonight me and some gals from work are heading to the Westport Village Spring Fashion Show. I’m looking forward to getting some Derby inspiration. If you’re in Louisville, check out the details here and stop by if you’re free – cocktails & clothes on a Wednesday doesn’t sound too bad.

Stripe tee: Stylemint (worn here); Gingham Button Down: J.Crew – on sale now!  (last seen here);  Vest: Old Navy; Necklace: BaubleBar (sold out but i love this one); Denim: BDG; Leopard Oxfords: Dolce Vita (on sale now!); Sunglasses: Urban Outfitters; Watch: Michael Kors (similar); Leather Tote: Banana Republic (love it here in some fun spring colors)

Outfit Post: Business Casual

Posted on by in , , , , , , , , , in Outfit Post | 6 Comments

This whole spring forward really made the weekend go by too fast. It may have just been an hour but it feels like way more.

Anyways, sorry I didn’t pop in with any required reading this weekend. I finally cashed in my Christmas present of tickets to the Kentucky vs. Florida game, so we spent the weekend in Lexington (thankfully watching the Cats win – made the gift that much better). Now it’s back to work.

It’s funny to look at these pictures from last week with snow on the ground since today it’s about 60 degrees out and pouring rain.

I wore this last week when I had a couple meetings but didn’t want to be too formal. Business on the bottom, casual (not quite party) on top. I’m usually wearing this shirt more casually but I like that with the darker wash it can be dressed up a little.  I also broke out the top knot since I was feeling a little lazy when getting ready but still wanted to look put together. And once again, I’m breaking out these Sole Society heels that are my new obsession. I’m just hunting for more outfits to wear them with.
Hope you’re starting your week off on a good note. Make it a good one!

Shopping: A Birthday Wishlist

Posted on by in , , , , , , , , , , , , , in Shopping | 4 Comments

I mentioned yesterday that it’s my birthday month. And since I’m a birthday diva, I put together a little imaginary birthday wishlist.

Mostly this year, I’m hoping for some new home decor stuff (and to re-do our bathroom) but there’s a couple other goodies I’d love to have for the big 2-9.

Oh and if you’re wondering why the random number of 17, it’s on account of my birthday being on the 17th. Yup, I’m a nerd.

birthday wishlist

1. I feel like a watch is always on my wish list but this gold Kate Spade number is calling my name.

2. In my quest to continue to improve my hair game, I’d love to add these dry bar tools to my kit.

3. I’m in a big candle phase right now and I love this Anthopologie mercury glass lovely.

4. I’m an aspirational baker and a cookie press has always been on my wish list. At $29, I may have to use some birthday money on this.

5. I love necklaces and the pale pink and graphic shape of this BaubleBar number is a spring must.

6. Our basement is a work in progress, but two of these all white faux deer heads would be a perfect addition.

7. Love this delicate Paloma Picasso ring. Just love.

8. Cross-body bags are the best and I love the mint color and hardware on this Rebecca Minkoff one.

9. Yup, a new bed is on my WISH LIST. It’s a big wish but I’m definitely going to start saving for this rustic wood bed from West Elm.

10. Key West is my happy place. This graphic map (you can get them in a bunch of colors for TONS of cities) makes for an interesting piece of art while reminding me of my favorite place.

11. Statement heels from ZARA. Yes please.

12. I’m in need of a new pair of bootcut, dark wash denim and I love this DL1961 pair.

13. Yup, more shoes. This time a pretty in pink pair of supergas for spring.

14. Bake to the baking. My son is obsessed with traditional measuring cups. With this Milk Jug stacking set, he can use those plastic ones as toys while I can ogle, err measure with these.

15. My wallet is a little beat up these days so this cheery blue one from Kate Spade would make a great replacement.

16. Shoes again. J.Crew flats. No explanation needed.

17. And last but certainly not least. The thing that I’m wishing for the most this birthday is for my beloved Kentucky Wildcats to make the tournament. Last year, I was wishing for a championship and this year, just hoping they make the big dance. Either way, Go Big Blue!

You all know that I’ve been wanting to do the whole harem pant trend for a while, so here’s me giving it a go. These pictures came at the end of a long day so pardon the expression and mess. I just figured I’d share the good and the bad. Mostly, I was just excited to share pictures of these new shoes.

Keeping it quick today because it’s been one of those crazy weeks. I’ll be getting back into the normal flow of things next week.

Pants: Forever 21; Shoes: Rory at Sole Society; Top: J.Crew (old); Jacket: Theory; Necklace: BaubleBar
