Spring Fling

Thursday, March 28, 2013

I have been in Dallas this week for spring break. It has been so fun to finally get to wear some of my new spring wardrobe. One of my favorite trends for this season are scallops like on this Madewell top. I've also been eying these J.Crew flats and these F21 shorts. What's y'all favorite trend for spring?

Today's outfit features one of my favorite trends of late-the shoulder drape. And while this idea isn't exactly reinventing the wheel, there is just something about it that just feels so fresh and chic to me. For even more draping inspiration check out my latest pinboard dedicated to others shunning sleeves this season.

Gilded Mint

Thursday, March 14, 2013

As soon as I saw this outfit at J.Crew I knew that I needed it for my trip to New York. If you can't wear a gilded mint brocade outfit during fashion week then I don't know when you can. Yes, I am aware that I vaguely resemble one of the Von Trapp children...or an ottoman, but all I have to say is SIDESMILE (ie. sorry i'm not sorry // ie. yolo for the fashion set). Fortunately, my fellow IFBCON attendees approved of my look and that was good enough me. At the end of the day, Fashion Week is really no different that a Star Wars convention. You get to dress up in crazy outfits, and hang out with kindred spirits who wouldn't dream of making fun of you for doing so. Le sigh, I cannot wait for September!

My Favorites: Reddy or Not Lipstick // Amour Caliente Lipgloss // Rallye Balm

However finding a decent natural lipstick that works in the real world and not just a commune has proved increasingly difficult. Enter Red Apple Lipstick. Check it: all of their products are formulated WITHOUT Gluten, Soy, Lead, Parabens, or Animal byproducts (ew who even knew we had to worry about that). Lucky for you Red Apple Lipstick is giving away a $50 gift card! See below for entry details!

Cobalt Cool

Thursday, March 7, 2013

While I was in New York, I had the privilege of getting to tour the Alice & Trixie Showroom (see Sam's recap here). I was so enamored with their design process and I still haven't stopped thinking about these shorts. Lucky for me I got to take home a few of their fab pieces like the cobalt top in today's post. I topped off the look with my favorite fur vest for a little extra warmth because apparently this Missouri winter has no plans to end any time soon.

All about the mix: NYFW packing tips

Tuesday, March 5, 2013

This outfit, that I wore to the Jack Roger's Blogger Social, is one of my favorite looks from my week in New York. When I was packing I tried to stick to pieces that were versatile and could easily be swapped in and out. For instance, the leather skirt from this look also worked with my Markus Lupfer sweater that I wore on the first day of IFBCON. I also paired the same sweater with the above sequin jacket for the Monique Lhuillier show and a Glamour Cats Event. I was especially glad that I had packed an array of versatile pieces when my trip was unexpectedly extended by Nemo. I was lucky to be able to produce several more new outfits without having to go shopping.

IFBCON OUTFIT DAY ONE

Monday, March 4, 2013

photo 900f3840-316c-4354-b46a-ef6f7561adfc_zpsc1e07e9e.jpg

Better late than never! This was my outfit for the first day of IFBCON. My favorite part has to be the Markus Lupfer sweater. It's hard to find fun // bright things (that are still weather appropriate) during such a wah-wah month like february, so I literally have been wearing it on repeat few the past few weeks. Lucky for me Spring is right around the corner and I can start wearing as much neon as I want!
