Robin Hood

Hunter on hunter with some gold accents, can't go wrong! I had fun accessorizing this outfit, I kept on thinking, WWKD?! What would Kasey do? She's the queen of accessories! I apologize for the iPhone quality of this post and the last, I was being UBER lazy. Next week I'll be more diligent with the Canon!

Also please excuse the orange quality of my skin, that's what I get for using an iPhone instead of a real camera :P I'm also wearing these pretty cute nude colored polka dot nylons, but you can't see them! ALSO! I really like this dress, the texture is so flattering.

Nothing says Robin Hood more than an owl necklace and some major ombre!

Also, these were totally taken at the airport. Good times. Forecast says I'm bringing the rain to LA, hehe. Are you going to have the best weekend ever? HECK YES YOU ARE! First week of December, let's do this!

Cantaloupe

Revisiting my high school days and showing some spirit by wearing some orange and black. I love how hi-lo dresses look with boots! This pair is particularly interesting, it has a faux wooden wedge.

Kasey and I were having shenanigans in Forever 21 today and spotted this gorgeous mint jewel drop necklace! I thought it was a nice pop against my cantaloupe colored dress.

This dress has so much movement when I walk!

Only one more day to get through until the weekend! Going to LA again this weekend to see the boyfriend. Thank goodness for good deals on Virgin America!

Edgy Cupcake

First up today is this Calvin Klein coat I bought end of season last year at Nordstrom Rack for $30! This coat is amazing for wearing short sleeves in the winter time because it has these nifty built in sweater sleeves.

IMG_2738

I was so cozy, I pretty much wore this around the office all day!

IMG_2739

Paired this power blue peplum top with an a-line pleated pleather skirt. I've seen this shape on other blogs and decided to try! I think I'm a little top heavy for this look, but it was fun :)

IMG_2751

Also, got these shoes at a deep discount (less than $10!) from Forever 21. Can't go wrong with a glitter stacked heel!

IMG_2755

Happy Hump day, everyone! Can you believe that it's almost the weekend again already? HOORAY!

Disneyland Darlings

We went to the happiest place on earth for Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time! Although I was seriously on the struggle bus this last day, we looked adorable! I love and cherish my photos from Disneyland. The key to extra good photos is to coordinate your clothing as if you were going to take family photos. Complimentary colors and a bit of matching can go a long way. We're supposed to be Huey, Dewey & Louie!!!

IMG_2491

I even color coordinated with Goofy! I think I found myself a new boyfriend :)

Can't wait to go to Disneyworld with these lovely ladies this Christmas! Already planning our outfit extravaganza!

Mintgiving

Two outfits in one day? Yes, I am THAT girl :P We were driving by Forever 21 and it was actually open! WHAT?! On Thanksgiving? Hopefully their employees were making extra. I'll actually be spending Black Friday at Disneyland instead of shopping (better trade off for sure). So it was fun to get myself a new T-gives outfit :) Really like this mint top and painted pastel print skirt together.

IMG_1949

Kasey spotted this beautiful blue bejeweled necklace. I am IN LOVE.

IMG_1963

One of my favorite hairbows added a nice girly detail into my outfit.

Can't wait to go stuff my face!! Happy OMNOMNOMMING, everyone!

Candy Stripes

Spending Thanksgiving in LA with friends and visited the Griffith Observatory today. I love it here, such an amazing lookout over LA. I also got my camera back in working order :) The weather is beautiful and it was so lovely to be able to wear something breezy and care free.

Orange, Mint, Pink, Puple! Such a fun palette of colors.

Love the V in the back of this dress. Makes this demure piece even more fun :)

Graphic Floral

As declared earlier, I am making more of a commitment to pants this winter! I absolutely adore pastels and this top and pants make a nice, relaxed pairing. This is a very unusual shape for me, as I do prefer to be cinched in at the waist, but I really like how this top is voluminous, but still holds it's shape.

This floral print is beautiful!

P1090499

Accessorizing with a little lemon yellow and candy pink. I do not wear earrings often enough. I think it's because I feel like my hair will just cover them up! But these were too perfect and very easy to wear.

Orange You Glad?

Seattle started monsooning overnight which means these Hunters get another chance to prove their worth. I'm glad I went with sunshine yellow because I can pair these boots with any bright, contrasting color.

P1090468

The back of this dress is so much fun. I've decided that turtlenecks are the secret to making ANYTHING work appropriate.

P1090472

Living through the Seattle grey season can get a little dreary times, so I'll take any opportunity to brighten up my day with a cheery outfit. Heading to LA tomorrow though, so I got some real sunshine headed my way :)

Stacked Luggage

I am subscribed to a pretty epic roll on Bloglovin' and one of the posts I came across was an inspiration article about stacked luggage. I just tried to relocate the post and was unsuccessful :( But here's an adorable pinterest board with more inspiration photos! Imagine my delight during one of my bin runs (what all the cool kids call Goodwill Outlet, located in the Seattle Industrial district) with my favorite lover Bianca (instagram: bonakablast) when we come across these beautiful luggage pieces!

photo

The bins are AMAZING if you are into treasure hunting. Bianca and I try to go every Sunday when life doesn't get in the way! Clothing, shoes and accessories are sold BY THE POUND ($0.99/pound for clothing, $1.49/pound for shoes & accessories). I thought we would have to purchase the luggage by the pound, but it was actually only $1.99/piece! Talk about a major score!!

P1090479

The two larges cases looked great with my vintage chest (that I also purchased at the bins!)I think I might actually try to travel with the smaller piece. I'll let you know how hauling that thing around an airport goes :)

P1090480

Kasey and I are moving into a new apartment in the new year and these guys are coming with us! Can't wait to start pinteresting ideas and inspiration!

OMG COAT!

You know how good things come to you when you least expect them?
Enter: THIS beautiful hunter green coat spotted by Kasey.

P1090458
Clearly this needed to come home with me. Love the back details.

P1090462
A little peak of my outfit :) I was all about the coat today!

HOORAY FOR FRIDAY! I'll be frolicking in this all weekend :)

I've been super excited to try stripes with a lady like printed peplum.
My (current) favorite pair of heels makes this outfit for me!

So funny story! My Canon 40D decided to die on me so pictures will be taken
with Kasey's Nokia Lumia 920 (Windows phone FTW!) until it gets fixed!

WP_20121114_010
I'm not a regular clutch user, but I loved the size of this one!

Girly girl is kind of my favorite aesthetic :)

Printed Pants

IMG_1717
I'm really bad at wearing pants, so I'm committing to pants this winter!

IMG_1736
This is my first pair of printed pants! This is a trend I've been
wanting to try after seeing a lot of fabulous fashion bloggers rock it.

IMG_1730
I'm amazed how this blazer pulls so many of my outfits together.
It was one of those random clearance pick ups but it has quickly
become one of my favorite pieces! Do you have a piece like that?

I'm really excited about these green tights.
Another outfit that Blair Waldord would be proud of I think :)

Super super loving this adorable alligator ring, it's my new fav.
