Fashion Friday- Something a Little Different

Happy Friday! After some very sweet suggestions from you guys, I decided to try something a little different for today’s Fashion Friday- I put together a few outfits that would be perfect for spring/summer. A lot of the items are very versatile and could be worn with many different things, but I thought I’d give this a try, to see what you all thought.

Also, here are a couple of videos that I enjoyed this week. Hope you have a fun weekend!

This is amazing.

And then it reminded me of this, which is a really good thing 🙂

This video is an excellent way of describing a subject that can get confusing.

And now for some fashion related things 🙂

Fashion Friday- Just a Few Items for Your Viewing Pleasure

Lately I feel like I’ve been running out of Fashion Friday themes. I’m kind of tired of telling you about the weather (especially since so many of you live in SoCal), and there are only so many color/material/style themes that I can think of.

So if you have any themes or brands or particular clothing styles that you would like to see featured, I would love it if you’d leave a comment on this post (or on Facebook) telling me what you want to see more of. I would love, love, love your feedback!

Today’s post is just a few things that I found and thought were cute. I hope you like them too!

Cuffed Tee

This tee is on sale at Anthropologie and comes in a few other cute colors. Be warned though- don’t fall in love with a color before checking to see if your size is available-  a couple of the colors and sizes are completely sold out.

Zarine Cuff

My mom was sitting next to me on the couch while I was finding items for today’s post and she pointed this bracelet out to me. That’s one of the reasons why I love having another person giving their input- I end up loving pieces that my mom picks out, but they aren’t the things that I’m automatically drawn to. This bracelet seems like such a classic piece- understated and pretty.

Desta Womens Shoes

223913412b

 

Looking at these a second time, I realized how much they look like my black jazz shoes from when I was in theater.

Wow. That was like a serious flashback right there. In case you’re curious, I was Angel #3 in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (I had one line- I threw my arms wide and said “I’m an angel!”), Sea Creature #23 in The Little Mermaid and the Raccoon in Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. So clearly, I played completely indispensable roles in all of those lofty productions.

Light Up the Night Dress

fireworks sundress

 

This is absolutely adorable- I love the cut-outs on the sides.

Time Floats by Watch

leather watch

 

This is a little pricey, but it’s so simple and gorgeous. I love the wide face and simple band.

Crochet Hem Skirt

Tarren Tank Top

Another item my mom pointed out. And the model is wearing the bracelet (see above)! That made my mom say that it was “meant to be” 🙂

After the Final Bow Dress 

botanical print sundress

 

Super cute and I love the back (that you can’t see in this picture haha. Click on the link to see what I mean).

Odessa Peasant Blouse

The print on this top is amazing- when you zoom in, it is so pretty and unusual.

Aqua Teardrop Earrings

456557 499 ER AQUA TEARDROP          Department 30 Drop JAIPUR SILVER

 

My mom got these from World Market a few months ago and has worn them a ton. They seem to go with everything and they are a gorgeous color. And you just can’t beat the price.

Fashion Friday- Because Sometimes Wearing Pajamas Makes Sense

You know those days when wearing skinny jeans seems unthinkable? When putting on another belted dress is out of the question? Yeah, me too.

Sometimes, (okay. most of the time), wearing pajamas outside of the house is an extremely tempting proposal. I have yet to go to Wal-Mart in pajamas (that’s where I draw the line), but I have worn many pairs of sweats, leggings and countless big sweaters that really should be considered pj’s. With this in mind, here are a few Fashion Friday items that  look so darn comfy. Thank goodness for clothes that have the comfy-ness of pajamas and are also totally acceptable for wearing to Wal-Mart. Or any other place where there is the smallest chance that you’ll see someone you know. Comfy and cute? That’s a killer combo.

On an unrelated note, below are two articles that I read this past week and absolutely loved.

This post was super interesting and thought provoking- I totally agreed with her point of view and opinions on the term “Food P–n” (see article for explanation on the hyphenation).

This article on the movie Noah was also an excellent read. I haven’t seen the movie, but the writer of the article was right on. Definitely won’t be spending money on that one…

ASOS Baseball Top

baseball top purple

 

Can I just say how much I love this color?

Rolan Women’s Shorts

228366100

 

These are adorable. Perfect for lounging around in summer or, better yet, worn over a bathing suit.

H&M Jersey Maxi Dress

This is such a pretty color and the fabric seems so nice and comfy.

Once Upon a Time Watch

Yeaaaahhhhh. I don’t really know how this watch fits in with the whole “clothes that feel like pj’s” theme. But it’s cute! So it ended up on the post 🙂

Cute Kitty T-shirt

Awwwwww….

Noisy May Skater Dress

I’ve been eyeing a dress that is very similar to this one and I absolutely love the style!

Wayfarer Sunglasses

For those days when makeup is a foreign concept.

Patterned Jump Suit

I’m not normally a huge jumpsuit person, but this one is adorable and I love the print.

Ojai Valley Sandals

I have a pair of O’Neill flip-flops that I have worn a ton since two summers ago. I dread the day when they break, or I lose them. These sandals are similar, and they are so cute.

Fashion Friday- Favorites

Last Monday I decided to get ahead of the game and start this week’s Fashion Friday post. Feeling very productive, I began my weekly search of the recent arrivals of some of my favorite websites, and after about 45 minutes, I had nothing. Zip. Zero. Nada.

If you were expecting some sort of story that involves me looking for hours upon hours and finding the perfect 9-10 pieces to share with all of you dedicated readers, you’ll be sadly disappointed.

I gave up. I know. It’s a hard (and dramatic) life 😉

Anyway, because of my lack of style inspiration, I decided to try something a bit different this week. Here are my favorite things that I found this week- ranging from frosting to bulldogs.

 

Favorite food gawk- Fluffy Brown Sugar Icing

SONY DSC

I don’t know how many times I’ve looked at this recipe. And I still haven’t made it! I really do need to try it though- it seems like it would be absolutely delicious on top of a chocolate cake. Or on a spoon.

 

Favorite look- Circle Skirts

852467de732035fc735a7cab59a1dd61

I have a thing for skirts. Especially circle skirts. This Pinterest board is perfect for skirt inspiration.

 

Favorite new website- NoiseTrade

Free music downloads (with a suggested tip), uploaded by up and coming new artists?  Yes, please!

 

Favorite wish list item- BonLook Eyeglasses

PowderPuff_AmethystTortoise_45

 

 

I absolutely love these.

 

Favorite new blog- Delightfully Tacky

11311659566_8b7ba93d56_o

Okay. So here’s the reasons I’m so glad I discovered Delightfully Tacky:

1. Her hair. I mean really. Look at that. And she changes her hair color up often, which is so fun!

2. She’s wearing these BonLook glasses. 

3. Her hair.

4. She’s not afraid to mix prints- something that I really appreciate.

5. Her hair. I love it (in case that wasn’t already clear). In fact, I feel like I might have just a bit of hair envy.

 

Favorite cute animal- Sophie the Bulldog Puppy

Travis sent this to me the other day and I can’t get over how cute it is.

 

Favorite food gawk, round 2- Five ingredient bacon asparagus pasta

5 ingredient pasta

I feel like that picture is pretty self-explanatory, don’t you?

 

Favorite Italian villa- Antique Mill House

antique mill house 2

This is an amazing house- and it’s in Italy no less. Here’s another favorite.

 

Favorite worship song (right this minute)- Like an Avalanche

So beautiful and completely true.

Fashion Friday- It’s a Quickie

For once, I’m completely at a loss for a title for today’s Fashion Friday post. No puns, color themes or titles based on the weather, just cute clothes 🙂 Hope you enjoy it! Happy Friday and happy {almost} St. Patrick’s Day!

Lunation Tee

This is adorable and this particular color seems especially fitting for St. Patty’s Day. Perfect for avoiding pinches.

Maritime Treasure Striped Maxi

31658

I’m pretty sure I’ve shared a similar skirt on a previous Fashion Friday, but it’s just such a perfect spring/summer piece.

Leave Your Mark Bag

Cute and unusual.

Whimsy Garden Shift Dress

00066202-02

This is so pretty.

Green and Purple Art Infinity Scarf

Another good pinch avoiding clothing item- and it’s beautiful too!

Coffee Addict PJ Set

00070997-02

Alex (my oldest brother) always seems quite concerned with my coffee drinking habits. Anytime he’s home he comments that I’m addicted to caffeine. Honestly, he’s probably not that far off- I love coffee, and that’s just how it is 🙂

Anyway, one evening he was doing dishes and after he washed my travel mug, he squirted liquid soap into the bottom and then put it in the cabinet. The next morning, I poured coffee into the mug and drank the majority of it on the way to the gym. Later in the day, he told me what he had done. Apparently it was too dark that morning and I had missed the presence of the clear dish soap. I was mad and, of course, he thought that it was absolutely hilarious that I had had so much of the coffee and never even noticed the odd flavor. I’m not sure if that was his attempt to stop me from drinking coffee, but it definitely didn’t work 😉

Classic Tiered Smock Dress

00088051-05

I love this! The back is so pretty and I love the more relaxed cut of the dress. It also comes in pink which is super cute.

Brisbane Crochet Detail Tank

30836

I love the color on this tank top and the lace on the side is a pretty addition.
