it's nautical

I love Anne M. Cramer's Flynn skirt so much that I now own two.  As in a previous post (seen here) I was obsessed with my red and white striped Flynn skirt. NOW I have her Nautical one too and I can't wait to mix and match it.  I decided to wear it with a pair of my favorite gray shoes from Urban Outfitters. Also, please note the DIY earrings!!!!  I took a pair of vintage clip-ons and converted them to posts and voila!
Happy Sailing my friends!

last dance

I know I keep saying this but I am really loving 70's style.  Two things I am obsessing over this spring/summer are ... jumpsuits and bold colors.  I recently stopped in at H&M after work and saw this amazing black jumpsuit and well, well, well IT'S AWESOME and really inexpensive.  On another after work shopping excursion I was walking past Zara and in the window I saw the most fabulous shoes. I know you may think I am crazy but these shoes screamed "BUY ME JANE".  Within 2 seconds of trying them on I knew these were mine. 

I didn't plan on wearing the jumpsuit and bold colored shoes together but as Donna Summer's song "Last Dance" was playing in my head I decided that this girl needs a dancing night out!!!!!

Jumpsuit: H&M
Shoes: Zara

items that make me sing ...

these are a few of my favorite things. 

I was singing this song last night when I got home from work and my roommates were definitely looking at me as if I was going crazy.  I decided to grab five items that I am loving right now.  Enjoyment for all!

Mineral Fusion

I love this moisturizer for my face and neck.  It is hydrating without being greasy.
Plus I love the clean smell.

Auro Glow
I am a Moroccan Oil user on my dry hair but I have found this to
work 100% times better.  It's my new favorite find.

Sephora by OPI
This is a top coat so you can add it over a color or by itself.  FUN!

Clinique Lipstick
I needed a fun red lipstick that wasn't too crazy and this color (Pink Chocolate) does the trick.


Lucia Soap
I love this soap. I found it at a little boutique on Abbot Kinney and I have since
gone back and purchased it multiple times.

white stripes

It's Tuesday and I wanted to brighten up this dreary day with some color. This Flynn skirt by Anne Cramer was an easy choice since it is the brightest skirt in my collection.  I recently bought this fun skirt from ... wait for it ... Picky Girl Boutique. It is one of my favorite pieces in my closet.  I am tempted to buy it in every color.  If only money grew on trees.  Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Since I am feeling inspired by songs/bands lately I couldn't have been more happy to get in my car this morning and the first song on the radio was Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes. As I was listening to the song a bell went off in my head and blog post title was created.  HA I know.

the temper trap and free people

OK I know it has been over a week since I last posted. Besides being crazy busy at work and not feeling great I haven't felt super inspired lately.  Until today!!!!! As I was driving to work this morning I couldn't help but roll down my window and turn up my radio as I was listening to a mixed CD my roommate made. I was thinking TODAY IS GOING TO BE A GREAT DAY (it helps that the sun was shining and the temperature was already in the high 50's). Soooooooooo back to turning up the volume when one of my new favorite bands, The Temper Trap  came on. Amazing, I love them. Finally, I got to work and decided to check out a few of my favorite websites. While on Free People I realized that their March catalog makes me just as excited as listening to The Temper Trap.  So in today's post I am paying tribute to my two inspirations.  Spring here I come!!
