Spring Fling

Hi Lovelies!  Inspired by the beauty that is spring, I wanted to create a few looks for you: for work, date night, and the weekend.  These three stylings really sum up my weekly rotation of outfits - heavy on the work wear [hello, 50+ hour workweek!], date nights [every other week], and the weekend [my all time fave].  When I think spring, I think floral, lace, delicate, pastel, soft, light colors, and just . . . pretty.  What's your favorite look for spring?

[For Work]

I absolutely love this dress, you instantly look polished in it.

 This is one of my go-to work bags.  The top handle and structure make it a perfect fit.

 If these colors and flowers don't scream spring, I don't know what does.

[Date Night]

 I love pairing this little floral bustier with anything high waisted and could've easily transitioned it to weekend wear by slapping on some high waisted denim, a sweater, and flats.

 Although my boyfriend loves when I enhance my eyes, I just can't stay away from a good bold lip!

 I've been holding off on styling these shoes for an edgier / nighttime look, but they're actually a lot more casual and comfortable than they look.

[Weekend Wear]

 I thought my most dainty of my three pup companions would be perfect for this look (:

 I've wanted an off-the-shoulder top for a while and for some reason have never added one to my repertoire.  This one is perfect as it's so wearable and can be dressed up or down.

Denim, studs, and fringe. What more could a girl ask for?

Country Livin'

Hi Guys!  We are settling into our new country home quite nicely.  Being in this new environment and town has got me really embracing this lifestyle and inspired to create western looks.  Not to mention I have been drinking beer and watching Urban Cowboy the whole weekend [YEE HAW!]  Overall I find that I try and plan blog posts but end up reverting to whatever feels right in that moment.  Namely whatever I am immediately affected by - my environment, what I have to do, my mood, etc.  I won't stop planning [since I am a planner by nature], but it's interesting how what I do plan can do a complete 180 in a matter of a few days. Hope you all had a nice weekend.  We didn't get everything [or a lot of things] accomplished that we wanted to, but I think all-in-all it was a nice weekend and the essentials were covered ;)

I started the weekend off with pigtails because . . . WHY NOT?

I love putting the camera a little lower and angling it up.  Makes any stems look longer and leaner than they really are :x

Go uptown, New York City biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiish.

What's more country than concho and fringe?  IDK, but when you find out, LMK.

NYX is my new favorite lipstick brand.  They are cheap, easy to wear, and come in the most beautiful range of colors.

A little acid wash never hurt anyone!! [one of my many mottos]

I wanted to the end the weekend with a sweet Sunday look.

Of course I can never be too sweet [HA HA], so I had to edge it up with a denim / hoodie jacket and studs.

I love how different sizes of floral patterns can give you such different looks.
