Spring Forward

3.10.2013






Blazer - H&M (recent)
Blouse - F21
Jeans - Loft
Pumps - Zara

 
This is another H&M find from my latest Spring shopping trip.  H&M is often hit or miss for me, but their new styles have been well done and the two blazers I've purchased are already on heavy rotation. The sleeves fit well, and I love the little peplum hem. I like wearing my blazers open, although this looks really cute buttoned because the peplum is accentuated. I'm enjoying the last of my "Winter" wardrobe  by pairing darker colors together, but I'm really looking forward to Spring's color palette.

Wedding Details {Flowers & Things}

3.06.2013


I think a wedding post/update once or twice per month is appropriate for my little blog, no? Sure, why not :)
My best friend and I were just talking about how consuming wedding planning can be. I promised myself when I first started this process that I wouldn't become "one of THOSE brides". You know, the ones you see on t.v. that make you question why people really want to get married in the first place! Those kind. Well I don't think I'm anywhere near becoming a bridezilla, but I am thinking about the wedding all the time now.
We have most of our planning done, and that's a huge relief! My favorite part thus far? Definitely the little details. I love details. I love accessories. Jewelry and handbags are my favorite part of getting dressed, so it's hilarious to me that I am treating my wedding planning in the same manner.

These are just some inspiration pictures, mostly from every bride's guidebook - Pinterest.

My veil is quite a bit shorter (elbow length). But this one is a stunner.

I love the elegance of the bow in the back



Pretty yet simple centerpieces


The perfect all ivory bouquet





Pretty idea for seating guests

What I've Been Reading {February 2013}

3.04.2013


February's question of the month is inspired by Valentine's Day: "What are your favorite pink items?"

Once opposed to it, I now love pink! Well, hot pink and a soft peachy blush in particular.
 
 
Beauty
 

 
1. Viktor & Rolf La Vie En Rose - More citrus and in my opinion, much softer than the original scent. This is my second bottle and I really hope I'm never without it. This will be my wedding day perfume.
 
2. Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Fuchsia - Bright and bold, but very pretty if you want a statement lip and bare face.
 
3. MAC Hot Gossip lipstick - I wear this on a regular basis and highly recommend it! It's a very flattering, neutral pink.
 
4. Orly Fancy Fuchsia nail polish - My absolute favorite nail color for hands and feet. Ever.
 
5. China Glaze in Shocking Pink - The ultimate neon for Summer.
 
6. Essie Cascade Cool - One of my favorite bloggers introduced this shade to me. It's a cool-toned pink with hints of lilac. It's very wearable.
 
 
Fashion
 

 
1. J.Crew Factory Bag - I love this for a pop of color. It's starting to get a bit stained and the natural suede does discolor after wear, but I'm still in love with it. So much so that I want another one in a different color!
 
2. J.Crew Mona Suede Pumps - They are an identical shade to the factory bag, but you do get what you pay for. The suede is much better quality. I've never worn the two items together, but maybe I will this Spring :)
 
 
Are any of you obsessed with pink? What are your favorite pink items?
