Daily Opportunity To Have a Good Time

 

I have loved lucky magazine ever since it came out (thanks to Amanda!). It's the one magazine I have faithfully subscribed to.  The method of how I read it has become a ritual. First, I leaf through the whole thing to get an idea of what is in store. Then the next day (or if I have a whole nowhere-to-be-but-on-my-couch-night) I dive in deeper & read every page, not always in order but EVERY PAGE.  The final page of the July issue had this quote in it that just spoke to me so I had to share it.  I love getting dressed in the morning - I think it's so much fun, sure I have fat days and days when I hate everything in my closet. Some days are a hit & others are a miss but for the most part I probably have too much fun getting dressed each day.  

I loved this outfit that I wore a couple weeks ago.  It was a hit. I just felt good in it & it made me want to jump around (again). This little white shift has been in my closet for years. It's a little cotton organic piece that just works on every day (similar here). This blazer & these sandals have become staples in my spring wardrobe.  The necklace I get tons of questions & compliments on was under $15 at Target! And this lip color just makes me smile.

Cheers to your daily opportunity to have a good time (oh & summer fridays at my office!). Happy weekend y'all!

Orange-You-Glad-Spring-is-Here-Inspiration

top (anthropologie - on sale early spring 2012); belt (similar here); skirt (urban outifitters - old);
shoes (c/o the chew); clutch (the clutch I wore for my wedding! from hautelook)

 It's finally spring (albeit a little gloomy today)! Last week when the sun finally poked out I couldn't help but want to exude some sunny colors.  I love colors - that's no secret. I wanted to highlight the orange and turquoise here so I kept my skirt and shoes neutral.  Happy spring!

A Minty Momento

 

I clean out and reorganized my shoe closet this weekend. And by shoe closet I'm referring to the sea of shoes piled at the bottom of my closet. I parted ways with some that had seen better days, but these mint beauties are here to stay.  I bought these BCBG kitten sling back kitten heels ten years a long time ago. When I bought them they reminded me of mint chocolate chip ice cream - you know the good kind from the 80s full of green food coloring - and they still do.  Inspired by my rediscovering these sweet feet treats I paired them with a shrunken blazer from anthro (also old) , a pale blue light weigh sweater I scored on haute look and my favorite GAP boyfriend jeans.  I also firmly believe that turquoise goes with everything so I paired this look up with a pair of turquoise earrings.

Do your clothes ever remind you of food?

Colored Details

Colors are in the details (for me anyway). For our wedding we opted for red flowers and black accents. We chose a combination of red roses, red gerber daisies and red anemones (special to my bridal bouquet and Chris' boutineer).  Black accents of the tuxedos and girls black shoes tied everything together.

Turquoise: Dresses + Shoes

As promised, here are my bridesmaids' dress choices! I had to get in on the fun and sported a pair of turquoise patent leather pumps to match my girls!  

Thanks again to all those beautiful faces for being by my side on the most special day of my life. Love you lots ladies!
