these are a few of my favorite things...

...dresses.

The one thing that I know about my body is that shorts don't flatter me. I've tried every brand, style, color, cut. You name it, i've tried it. So, I rely on dresses and skirts to get me through the warm summer months. 

This is quite easy this season with beauties like these. 

I'll take one of each, please.

Happy Shopping! 

baubles + work

Login to Pinterest, open any fashion magazine, or browse your favorite blog and chances are you'll find gorgeous statement necklaces, rings and various baubles.

But how can you wear them so they are work appropriate?

I've compiled three looks that blend baubles, fashion and sophistication. 

Look #1: For the corporate fashionista. 

You: ...work in a sea of black, like on Capitol Hill, and if you wear pink one might think you're the new Elle Woods. Fear not, there is a Bauble for you! 

Dress//Shoes//Necklace

Look #2: The casual worker bee

You: ...work in a casual environment, possibly advertising or marketing. You like to be on trend, but not too trendy that you cause a commotion. You like color, and try and steer clear of black.

Pants//Wedges//Shirt//Necklace

Look #3: Anything goes!

You: ...aren't afraid to experiment. You like classic lines, and pops of color, but find yourself drawn to animalistic prints and flirty fashion.

Skirt//Flats//Blouse//Bracelet//Necklace

Here's to happy shopping and finding the Bauble that's right for you and your lifestyle.

glam me up

First and foremost, thank you for all your sweet comments on the new series yesterday. I was hesitant to post it, and the response was overwhelming. Definitely made having food poisoning better.

Okay, so remember those sparkly J. Crew cases that were EVERYWHERE? Well, I bought one, and it lasted less than 2 weeks before I had sparkle everywhere, and it was literally falling a part.


Good news: J.Crew refunded me, and I moved on.


Bad News: I was obsessed with finding a glitter case.

Well, much to my surprise, the iPhone gods have listened to me, and have graced me with these beauties. It was love at first sight, and I couldn't help myself. I bought one.

in GOLD! 





Now I ask you, what color will you be getting? I have a feeling I'll somehow have all four. I have an online shopping addiction. Add sparkle? Now that is a recipe for disaster.
