This is actually an action shot…see the flower in my hand in motion? But I liked it for some reason.

Color & pattern.

How cute are these? 

Also, my grandma and  I are sharing these earrings. 

Because she has a cherry-themed outfit and needs to borrow these. 

Legit. 

And I think it’s totally awesome. 

xo!

Howdy, ya’ll! 

I just felt like saying ‘Howdy’ for some reason. 

How much fun attitude does this outfit have? It feels sort of Sandy-in-Grease-has-her-moment, ya’know? 

Only without leather. 

Anyway. 

These light pink pearls were a gift from my parents after my first ballet company performance, waaaay back. 

The over-shirt is my mom’s. So are the shoes. And the shirt. 

But the attitude? That’s mine. Yeah, that’s allllllllllllll mine. 

Actually I don’t have any attitude. 

In fact, I’m smiling in the pictures. 

But the outfit has attitude. 

Don’t you think? 

xo!

Screen-star style! Give me a touring car and let’s hit the roads of Monaco!

Since I’m fresh off my “It’s raining” kick, I won’t go on a new, “It’s hot” kick. But, just for the record: it’s really, really hot outside. 

Aaaaaaand moving on. 

This outfit makes me happy and skippy. As in, wanting to skip instead of walk. 

I love this outfit because it’s simple but punchy, and modern but retro. All of the pieces are new (ie. not vintage), and the colors are modern, but the whole look has a definite retro vibe.

Almost the weekend!

xo!

This is my super-tired face. And sadly, this was the best of the batch of photos. Yowza. 

We’re back to gray skies, too. I need some chai STAT.

But I think the rest of the week is supposed to skyrocket into the high-80s. Ew.

These are my stripes rolled up over the spring green.

These are my lavender fingernails.

These are my chevron socks in my cheetah flats. 

And that is my casual Monday outfit. 

xo!

Laaaaaa-Teeeeeee-Daaaaaaa

More bows. I’m on such a bow kick. Bows in my hair, bows on my shirt, bows on my shoes…

Never enough bows! These newly thrifted Jeffrey Campbell shoes are my favorites as of late. 

Bows on my toes 😉

And after the day, it’s time for a workout. Keepin’ that self healthy is so important! This same skirt is so cute for a modest workout bottom…it looks adorable and is feminine, athletic, and washable. A hard combination to find in a workout outfit! I kept the bow in my hair, too, just used it to sweep my bangs off my face. Bangs + workout can be a sweaty, breakout-causing combination, so keep them off your face with a clip or headband. 

Have a GREAT weekend!

Get out there and work it out!

I’m a ’60s girl at heart, I do believe. Give me a bow and a bouffant and I’m quite happy indeed. Touches of leopard (and more bows in my hair!) and a blouse covered in tiny bows…yes yes and more yes. Always yes to bows!

 I think it’s so amusing how skinny jeans are such a modern trend right now, but they suit my ’60s tendencies so very well. Everything old is new again.

My Jackie dress makes me feel happy. 

Seafoam + Sky Blue + Royal Blue. 

It has been so wonderful to see blue skies again! 

I hope you have a beautiful blue-sky week!

It was a sunny weekend! Sunny with a chance of preppy 😉 

I took that chance of preppy–not a style I do often, though I adore it. I just generally inch towards vintage-girly more so than the straight lines of preppy. 

Braided gold flats with a tiny wooden heel certainly feel preppy to me. Very nautical. 

I picked up these bright green bermuda shorts, thinking I could use them as a summer version of colored skinny jeans. Do you think colored shorts translate as well? 

The shirt is yellow gingham, but it’s hard to tell in the photos above.

I got SO many compliments on this sunny yellow nail polish. 

I’ve been wanting to try the yellow nail polish trend for a few summers now, but kept telling myself I had plenty of nail polish to use up first. But when a perfectly yellow bottle of Sally Hansen showed up in the clearance bin for $1, who was I to argue with my deep-seated inner yellow-nail-polish love? 

It lived up to my expectations and I just adore it for summer. It will definitely be a regular part of my summer nail polish rotation. 

Don’t worry, seafoam green…we’re still friends, too. In fact, I think you and sunny yellow will play nicely together, like this:

Because aside from the fact that she’s wearing way too many accessories, those amazing polka-dot pants paired with yellow & sea foam green alternating nail polish are crazy-inspiring. 

Have a great week, my dears! You’re looking lovely this Monday morning!

Sometimes I find oxfords are far too masculine for me, my shape, and my taste. This vintage button-up has enough detail to make it feminine…cute side vents, ruffled collar & sleeves, floral pattern, and it’s the perfect blend of being ultra-soft and yet crisp.

A blue floral print and jeans with just enough detail to keep things interesting…perfect for a breezy summer day!
