Current Obsession: Chandelier Earrings




So normally, I'm not one for big, dangly earrings. Or earrings at all, for that matter. But after seeing how adorable she looks all the time pairing a simple outfit with some chandelier earrings, I decided to take a cue from the great Kate. So of course I bought an awesome pair of cream chandelier earrings and recently paired them with a slouchy sweater, jeans and ballet flats. And I must say, I am a fan! I knew the girl wouldn't let me down. I'm sure it's now only a matter of time before I have an overwhelming and unnecessary collection of dangly earrings. Sigh.

Speaking of Kate, and jewelry, I'm borderline obsessed with her new-ish jewelry line. The cutest pieces, and each item is only $30. I want it all. Little help?

Spotlight On: Dazed and Confused






If you know me, you should by now be well aware of my love and affinity for all things related to 70s fashion. Gimme flared jeans over skinnies and high waist over low rise any day. This spring season, it's time to master this look. Super flared and wide leg trousers, rust tones, cropped tops, mixed prints, high waists, billowy blouses, chunky jewelry and long, flowy dresses and skirts galore...and I really couldn't be more excited.

And what better epitomizes these styles than one of my all time favorite movies, Dazed and Confused. Not only are the clothes perfect, but it is hands down one of the most enjoyable movies to quote (again, and again...and probably again). Darla became a personal hero and had me at, "Wipe that face off your head, bitch". 

If you haven't seen it, well, you should definitely go ahead and add it to your Netflix queue immediately. And don't forget to take notes.

Here, some style suggestions from the shop!

How Do You Trust Your Feelings When They Can Just Disappear Like That?




Tonight, after a very long and impatient wait, I finally got to watch Blue Valentine for the first time. It was such a raw, accurate, and real depiction of a deteriorating love and relationship. Sad? Oh yes. But I promise you it was one of the best movies I have seen in a very, very, very long time. I really can't stress enough just how truly amazing it is. If you have a chance to see it, do yourself the favor of doing so. Just don't forget the tissues. And even if you don't personally enjoy it as much as I did, you still get to see Michelle Williams' boobs, so what is there to lose really?

It's Gonna Hit You With a Big Wave


It kind of blows my mind how Jenny Lewis only gets prettier and more awesome the older she gets. Here's to aging like her (hopefully).
Also, if you haven't checked out her's and her boyfriend's side project yet, Jenny and Johnny, what are you waiting for?!

Girl Crush: Clemence Poesy




  
French, flawless, and oh so fashionable. Not to mention, I strive for that hair color. The girl is a total babe.

Current Obsession: Chunky Knits






Big, oversize, chunky cardigans. One of the only things that gets me through the miserably cold weather this time of year. Okay, so I live in Florida and it doesn't get that cold, but the slightest chill is unbearable to me. Luckily I have begun to acquire quite the collection of cozy, chunky cardi's that I love to layer with girly dresses, oversize tee's and preppy button-ups. The perfect [warm] final touch to any outfit.


One of my favorites, from the shop! Just click the picture to go right to the listing:

Home



Well after a month, I'm finally all moved and settled in. Living with the man I love. And excited to host dinner parties and take full advantage of our brand new fire pit. Oh, and Buddy is loving his huge new back yard as well. I'm happy. I am home.
