Five!

Here are five designers that are currently inspiring me for spring/summer. As you can tell from the picture boards below, I'm feeling the stripes and dresses movement currently...

 

 

*Everlane is a members only website. It's free to sign up though! Unfortunately, it's become so popular that many of the styles (like the sweatshirt and tee above) are sold out for now...

I've gotta rush off to a girl's afternoon (playing hooky from work!) but Happy Weekend!

Suggestions Welcome

I've been growing more and more interested in interior design and living spaces. I went to school for Fashion and Retail Studies-Product Development, so I am knowledgeable in design asthetics, however, I have never studied it specifically in the context of living spaces. I am looking for fun, but informative websites, books, apps, etc. to help indulge my latest interest. Any suggestions?

Five. (or six. or seven.)

Yikes! Sorry about missing my Friday Five last week. I was away in North Carolina for the MOST EPIC WEDDING WEEK EVER! I had a blast being reunited with great friends, celebrating true love and even being pampered (even though it wasn't my wedding!). Besides taking pictures to document the weekend, I pretty much unplugged myself and barely even checked my email...it was worth it though. I got to soak up every second of an amazing week I will never forget. But...

Now I am back on track and here is your serving of Friday Five (well more like 6 or 7 because I can't help posting a couple extra pics of the wedding)!

From top to bottom: Group shot of the bridesmaids and amazing friends at the reception, the gorgeous bride and I at a pre-celebration party, the happiest first dance I have ever seen! (all pics taken with my iPhone and filtered through Instagram)

After last week, I came home in full wedding mode. Getting started on my wedding DIY project :)

Sporting my Casual Friday look: Denim shirt from Old Navy (amazing steal), printed shorts from Nordstrom last year, Jessica Simpson wedges, the fiance's Ray Bans, and American Apparel leather bag

Wedding inspiration that I found on Pinterest! You can follow me on Pinterest here!

Amazing Zara safari jacket with leather sleeves that I am now on the hunt for after seeing it on Wendy's Lookbook a couple times.

Happy Weekend Everyone!

Love this.

The power of a child's imagination is amazing. If only we were all this unafraid to make our dreams into reality.

Make.It.Count.

Worth every second of the 4 minutes and 38 seconds it takes to watch this. Definitely made my Monday infinitely better...
