New . Things

Spring is slowly - very slowly - but surely coming, and I can't help but be enamored with the bright colors in these pretty little fish necklaces (both from Forever21), Chanel's limited edition summer nail colors in Morning Rose, Mimosa, and Beige Petale, and these whimsical bee pins that were snagged on sale at Express.

I'm also over the moon about the travel plans that we've just made: we've rented a house in Montreal for a short while later in the summer, and not long after we're headed to The Czech Republic and Germany!! I'm not at all wishing the spring and summer away, but it is a nice little bit of adventure to look forward to!

Earrings: Vintage

My outfit photos today are strangely posed and cropped, I know. I was looking into the sun, and in most of the pictures I came out looking either really worried or really angry. So I edited.

I'm actually quite excited about this skirt. I bought it over the weekend to sell, but then I tried it on, and it turned out to be the perfect size, so I paired it with a cozy sweater and out the door I went in it!

Zara

Why do you not have a store in Michigan Zara? Why?

Hair . for . Going . Shopping

Dress + Headscarf: Vintage

This morning we headed down to Ann Arbor. B. wanted to go to a record show, so I always tag along to hang about at Espresso Royale, and then do a bunch of shopping. Favorites: The GetUp Vintage, Dawn Treader, and Sephora.

Since it's ridiculously nice out today, I went with a pretty black dress, and wanted some "done up but still casual" hair to go with it. So I followed this easy-as-pie tutorial from Hair Romance and love the result. I've always liked this look, but when I've given it a go in the past, it's never turned out. The crossover hair/pin trick is so simple, but makes all of the difference!

Saturday . Outfit

Blouse: Vintage
Pants: JCrew "Minnie"
Bag: Chanel
Shoes: Rocketdog (they're only about $30, they're super comfortable, and this style comes in roughly a zillion colors/patterns)

It was for serious warm enough to take outfit photos outside today!! I know that some people do them in all sorts of weather, but that's just not me. It's difficult to get enough enthusiasm to just leave the house in cold weather; I don't much feel like hanging about for photos.
