It's finally the weekend. Woo Hoo! This week seemed to crawl by at a snail's pace. Perhaps it's because we have a fun filled two days ahead of us. We are celebrating a friend's birthday by playing bocce ball (what a fun birthday party idea), I'm attending a bridal shower for a dear college friend, and we have some family time planned so I can squeeze my niece and nephew. YAY, cheers to a wonderful weekend!

Today it is freezing out. Like grab a jacket before you head out the door kind of coldness. Here in the city we were a little spoiled the last few days with sunny warm weather, but apparently our "true summer" has hit. But I refuse to pull out my jeans and am instead throwing on a maxi skirt, a thin sweater and throwing on a lightweight jacket. Layers, layers, layers.

It's only Wednesday, but I'm ready for it to be Friday. To help me get over this mid-week slump, I've been watching this video on repeat. Rebecca Minkoff, Hilary Rhoda and the Man Repeller rockin' out to Call Me Maybe is too good to not share.

You know when you leave a store slightly regretting that you didn't buy something? Well, that's the case of these two lovely little pieces from Zara. I tried them on a week ago and have been dreaming about them ever since. That jacket with the studded collar...yes please! Oh and I'm certainly a sucker for anything fringe. That skirt could so easily be dressed up or down. Eeeeekkkk, I may have to make a return trip.
Are you an early riser? My husband and I wake up at 6am on weekdays and I've grown to love it. I cherish those early morning hours when I begin to hear the outside world slowly start to awake. It's so very peaceful. When I saw this wedding on Green Wedding Shoes, it stole my heart. A sunrise ceremony beginning at 6am? Pure magic!
And that feather bolero is seriously calling my name!

Happy-Happy Friday! Hoping to squeeze in a bit of shopping this weekend. I'm currently craving a flowly printed dress and a pair of bright pants. Most days I wear a lot of solid colors, especially my all-time favorite color, white. I'm trying to branch out a bit and incorporate more & more patterns into my wardobe. Enjoy your weekend and here's to trying out new things. xoxo!
I've long been a fan of wallpaper. Since we live in a rental, I've had to put my wallpaper dreams on hold for the moment (although I did read about this amazing removeable type on Oh Happy Day). While I ponder on using the removeable option, here are a few faves that are the real deal.
Oh Joy's wallpaper in her amaze home.

And an oldie but a goodie, Cole & Son "woods" wallpaper.

Eeeeekkkkk, I'm so very excited to be able to share the shoot I styled for Glitter Guide. It was such a blast and I can't thank Taylor enough for asking me to be part of this fun "5 Summer Looks" shoot. Check out more here.
A super big shout out to all of the people involved.
Overall concept and art direction: Taylor, Makeup: Alexia Ogle of Faux Lash, Model: Kaitlyn Fitzpatrick of JE Model SF (and Kaitlyn's cute mom did her hair for the shoot), Glitter Guide Assistant: Lauren Michelle, Photography: Isaac Miller and Joelle Wagner at Blue Sky LightGrid Studios
And a few behind-the-scenes photos of our awesome day!
Obviously from the past two posts (here and here), it is apparent that I'm day dreaming about taking a little vacation poolside. I'm itching to get back to Palm Springs! I'd love to be there lounging out in this cute suit, this hat, with a little drink and my hubby by my side.

Wow, what an amazing weekend. I had such a blast styling a photo shoot with Taylor for an upcoming Glitter Guide feature. It was truly so much fun and I can't wait to share the pics. While at the shoot, we all had some fun trying on each other's sunglasses. We passed around my Karen Walkers (which I am completely obsessed with) & Taylor's House of Harlow cuties. Eeeekkkk, I might just need to add those black enlarged cateye sunnies to my collection.
