Flower Child

 Jacket - Mango (old) | Dress - Somedays Lovin | Shoes - Jeffrey Campbell (similar on sale here!) | Purse - J.Crew (old, cute alternative here) | Shades - Prada

I don't know about you, but I love my sleep. Most mornings I hit my snooze button for an hour (anyone who has ever had to share a room with me knows this all too well), only to wake up 15 minutes before I'm supposed to leave, grabbing anything in sight and running out the door.

Now that Michigan is starting to thaw out, maxi dresses are the perfect solution for my fifteen minute power prep. They are simple, chic, and give off the appearance that you took the time to put yourself together, when you secretly know you literally got ready in five minutes.

Maxi dresses may be reinforcing my bad habits, but hey, they are cute and if I can get an extra thirty minutes of Zzz's, then that's fine by me:)

Happy Memorial Day weekend!

70's Vibe - Through Rose Colored Glasses

Clockwise from top left: Shades | Denim Jacket | Jeans | T-Shirt | Purse | Dress | Shades | Sandals | Jacket | Purse | Jeans | Crop Top

Maybe it's the flowers blossoming or music festival season beginning to kick into high-gear, but I've been really feeling drawn to the influences from 70's fashion. The fringe jackets, lacy details, and rosy pinks are leaving me wanting to hop on the next plane, fly out west, and saddle up on a horse and ride through the desert. In the meantime, I'll keep dreaming and think of outfit ideas to look the part ;)

Autumn Sunsets and Plaid

 

 Jacket - Mango (old, similar here) // Sweater - J.Crew // Shirt - H&M (similar) // Pants - H&M (love these) // Shoes - no brand, Keds version here // Necklace - J.Crew (on sale!) // Purse - Milly (old, loving this bag)

I had my dad snap a few pictures of my outfit before my sister and I went out this evening (sorry for the slight bluriness..silly daylight savings time and work). It was my mom's turn to host the neighborhood ladies' monthly Bunco night, which means the rest of us had the choice to hide in our rooms for the entire evening or retreat. We chose the latter and down in a nearby coffee shop.

I won't lie, being at the coffee shop *almost* made me miss being in school, but only because I miss having a purpose for why I'm hanging out there for hours at a time. Nowadays I feel a little silly when I hang out at my local coffee shop when all I'm doing is scrolling through Pinterest and online window shopping, even though it doesn't stop me from doing just that :). 

However, I must say it felt pretty good tonight overhearing the group of girls behind me diligently working on a presentation and paper knowing all I had on my agenda was look at pretty pictures of clothes, food, cities, and baby animals :)

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

T-shirt - Nike // Jacket - Mango (similar here in white) // Pants - J.Crew // Shoes - Valentino // Necklace - Urban Outfitters // Shades - Ray-Ban

Springtime = Baseball time here in The Mitten, and I finally was able to experience it on Monday! I recently won a pair of tickets to a Tigers game through work - thanks to my guesstimation skills on how many peanuts were in a jar - and so my Dad and I made the trip to the Motor City to watch our team beat the Twins! It was a gorgeous spring evening and a fun game and now I definitely have to go back for some more!

I picked up this shirt at the ballpark and I can't seem to take it off...the material is so soft and comfortable I just want to live in it forever! Plus it is my favorite color shade of gray and has the old Tigers logo that I love. You can bet this will be part of my summer uniform, and hopefully makes another appearance at Comerica Park soon!

Happy Friday, everyone! 

It's been fun having my sisters home this week and the fun is about to be raised since my cousin will be in town for the weekend! The next few days will be filled with walks around town, drinking lots of coffee, and getting serious with our board gaming. 

I hope you all have a nice, relaxing weekend! :)

Pattern Play

 Jacket - Mango // Sweater - H&M // Shirt - Tahari // Cords - American Eagle (similar here) // Sunglasses - UO // Bag - Dooney & Bourke (want this bag!) // Flats - Madewell (on sale!)

With our family reunited this week, we thought it would be a great idea to go to our favorite Italian restaurant to celebrate us all being together again for more than just 5 hours. We met up with another family that we are good friends with and enjoyed each other's company and good food! :)

Work has been pretty stress-free the past few days, but taking time to go out and have fun mid-week always makes the rest of the week easier to get through. Maybe if I had strawberry coconut gelato every day I wouldn't have so many worries ;)

What I Wore Wednessssssday

Jacket - Mango // Shirt - J.Crew // Pants - Paige Denim // Shoes - Calvin Klein (want these!) // Necklace - C. Wonder // Sunglasses - Urban Outfitters (eyeing - hehe get it? - this pair)

Snakeskin is having a moment and I'm loving every second of it. A little bit here and there goes a long way in adding some edge to your look. I think my favorite use of the reptilian look is when it is juxtaposed with dainty, feminine items such as these shoes. I can't tell you the number of times I've found my mouse hovering over the "Add to Bag" button ;)

What are your favorite trends for spring?

Comfort and Sparkle this Holiday Season

This time of year as the weather turns all I want to wear is big, comfy sweaters and leggings. However, with the holidays there are always events and parties to attend where I still want to look put together but maintain my comfort (and warmth) while looking respectable. The holiday season also makes me want to add a little pizazz into my outfits to keep my spirits bright to match the festivities. Throwing some glitter and sparkle into an ensemble, whether it be something bold like a dress or shorts or subtle like a bracelet or nail polish, always seems to do the trick for me. Here are some of the things I'm liking as of late that would be nice for these upcoming months of cold weather, holiday parties, and a plate with a frenchie to make me smile when I'm missing the warm weather :)
