come sail away with me


As a member of Delta Gamma, I can't help but want to purchase everything with an anchor on it, seeing as it is our symbol. I loved the nautical look before, but now I'm semi obsessed with it. It seems like every store that I online shop at for the spring season is brimming with tons of anchors on everything. I know I can't buy them all, but here are some of my current favorites:

1. ring, Kate Spade
2. tank, Forever 21
3. clutch, TopShop
4. belt, Madewell
5. top, Nordstrom
6. dress, Modcloth
7. necklace, Forever 21
8. earrings, Nordstrom
9. tote, Lilly Pulitzer

these days

I officially need a Pinterest intervention; I am absolutely addicted. A few days ago I redid a few of my boards and created a few new ones. I added on named "a lack of color" of all things black and white, and also one named "glitter in the air" of wonderfully sparkley items. I can't help but spend time finding new photos to pin to these boards to build them up. My boards are my new pride and joy. I suggest everyone get a Pinterest because it is seriously that splendid.

hope has sprung a perfect dive

Even though it's absolutely frigid in the mitten right now, I can only think about dressing for warm weather. It seems that every day I pile on layer after layer in order to not have to shiver all day long. I just want to toss on some flats and not have to worry about having my toes turn blue. I yearn to wear light layers, floaty fabrics, and to have my legs actually see the light of day. My warmer weather outfits ideas are just building, inspired by the following from this is NOT new:
 A bright floaty top and a bandage skirt for an evening out
 A backless dress
 A light blazer over a dress to protect against the spring "chill"
 Shorts and thigh highs
 An airy lace dress with easy-going leather loafers
 A pop of color to a simple dress
 Shorts and a button down for a casual weekend... and the dog too
Sparkley loafers... I need these.

make me proud

The Golden Globe Awards were last night, and I was delighted to see the start of the award season start off with tons of gorgeous gowns on all of my favorite leading ladies. If this is a preview of what is to come for this year, I'm so excited. Here are some of my favorite looks of the evening:

Even though it's only January, I can't help but be really excited for spring to come. I love everything about spring, from the new buds on the trees, to St. Patrick's Day, to always being decked out in pastels and florals. I know it's a few months away, but I obviously can't wait to spice up my wardrobe with some spring inspired pieces. Here are some of my current inspirations:

1. bird necklace, Etsy
2. bright sandals, Kate Spade
3. colorblocked tee, J. Crew
4. colored pants, Zara
5. head wrap, Nordstrom
6. pastel button down, Madewell
7. floaty dress, Urban Outfitters
8. straw clutch, Tory Burch
9. maxi skirt, Forever 21
