Pretty Looks













Stumbled across this Online Shop via Gold and Gray, and I can't get enough of their cute clothes and affordable prices!  Don't you just love these looks!?  So pretty.  Also loving them because they could all be worn well into fall.

Lovin' her hair too!

Put A Bird On It!

Have you seen the show Portlandia?  This new show on IFC is a must see! My favorite skit is "Put a bird on it". It has actually become a running joke between my girlfriends and I. You can check it out here! This skit is basically making fun of people who like anything and everything with birds on them. Ever since watching it, I've pretty much become one of those people. Seriously, I cannot stop eyeing clothes and accessories with birds on them!  This recent shoot of Amanda Seyfried in Elle has only my fueled my desire for birds ;)  Check out a few of my current lust items...

This post was inspired by my girl Brandy...who has, does, and will always "put a bird on it" when needed!

To-Do List

(Forever 21 Fedora)

I'm not a big fan of to-do lists or check lists. I'm the type of person who packs the morning of a departure, not the night(s) before. Why keep your clothes in luggage longer than they need to be? Right? Well, with our vacation to Europe fast approaching (only 2 weeks away), I've decided to get on board. I've never been so excited to change my ways!

Breathtaking Photos

I've been married for over 3 years now and I still catch myself looking at wedding blogs and magazines.  With my best friend's upcoming nuptials I've had an excuse, but I know I'll forever be curious as to what's going on in the world of weddings.  I couldn't help but post a few photographs from Clayton Austin.  This talented photographer captures the most beautiful moments in engagement sessions and weddings. Aren't his photos breathtaking?

Hope Floats

Kaelen Grandma Hannigan Long Jersey Dress







In a few weeks, my husband and I will finally embark on that long awaited trip to Europe. One of our stops will be on the Amalfi Coast and I've been looking for a few transition pieces. First on my list is a long dress that would easily go over a swimsuit (if the weather permits) and could also be worn at night with a light jacket. I was doing some browsing on shopbop and came across this dress. I love the color and especially the material because it looks like it would travel well. I also found this cute bag with the sweetest little message, 'Hope Floats'. Lovin' this bag because it could be carried as a tote or a messenger, which I'm sure will come in handy with all the steep walkways we'll encounter!

Bounce




When it comes to haircuts, I never really stray too far from my usual style. Long layers with thinning is the norm. I came across this photo and have decided to stop the stylist from thinning my hair! I'm taking a stand. Can a girl get some bounce please?

Ready, Set, Spring!

It's no secret that I'm super excited for Spring to come.  My recent purchases were clearly made with warmer weather in mind!  To start off with...my new Camillia sandals! The photo simply doesn't do them justice.  They are the perfect shade of blush!  I believe they will pair nicely with the sparkle and fade dress, which I am almost tempted to "break" out immediately and pair with tights.

You can't forget the beauty products!  Anyone who knows me is well aware of my chapstick addiction.  Yup, plain old cherry chapstick.  I've tried just about every lip balm under the sun but have always ended up going back to the same ol' same ol'!  I think I may have found a winner in Eos' summer fruit lip balm.  It's all natural, 95% organic, smells yummy, and it works!  I've also discovered a new daily facial scrub.  I have naturally dry skin, so the winter weather is extra harsh on my face! This Aveeno facial scrub is fantastic! No joke. It's gentle, effective, and cheap!

I'm officially ready for Spring!
