Sunshine and Pearls

Last week I wore a yellow J. Crew silk shirt with Jones NY tweed jacket.  I love the ruffles on the shirt.  One of my favorite parts of the look was my earrings though!  Joshy bought these for me at the artist's village at Balboa Park in San Diego!

I'm certainly enjoying the sunshine!  I had a lovely Memorial Day weekend.  I LOVE three day weekends.

Through the Looking Glass

This is a dress I bought quite some time ago from ASOS. I had to have the back by the shoulders taken in just a bit to get it to fit properly but it wasn't a big hassle. It has a little belt but I don't think it really needs it (plus the belt is the same fabric as the dress so it just sorta blends in). I didn't want to wear a top underneath it but it was too cold and a cardigan would have covered up the cool detail on the collar. I wore this to work and got lots of compliments from the ladies on my style! :D

Fabulous Friday

Once again, it is time to play "Give it a Miss, Give it a Go or Give it to Me" where I'll post pics of celeb outfits and you can tell me whether you wouldn't wear it (give it a miss), like it and might wear it (give it a go) or love it and want it (give it to me).

Here are this week's contenders...Lucy Liu and Kirsten Dunst! All pics taken from Go Fug Yourself and you should check out that site too...very witty stuff!

So what do you think? ♥

Recap - Graduation Dress

Here is a recap of what I wore for my sister's graduation.  I usually am not a fan of longer dresses.  For some reason the fitted bodice and tie of this Calvn Klein dress makes it ok that it is longer.  I also love the pattern.  I wore yellow T-strap wedges by Nine West with the dress.

Graduation

My little sister graduated from high school yesterday!  She has traveled a winding path to make it here.  We are so proud that she made it!  Somehow in all of the hulla-baloo I forgot to take an outfit pic yesterday.  I do love my dress. I may have to recreate the look to post.  Here is a picture of my sister and I, as well as Lexi and her bundt cake!

Is Féidir Linn

Obama visited Ireland today! I had planned on travelling up to Dublin to hear his speech at College Green but wasn't able to in the end so I had to settle for watching it on tv/hearing it on the radio. He was so personable and it was fantastic to see him enjoying the trip. He also visited Moneygall where he drank a pint of Guinness with Michelle and the whole town it seemed (wouldn't be that hard, there's only about 300 people)!

And of course since it is Monday, enjoy the weekly tunes from UO!

Sunday is Funday!

Most Sundays are quite enjoyable for me.  We go to church and hopefully  have doughnuts afterwards. I LOVE doughnuts.  I get a few things done and generally laze about.  Today we got our place ready for a graduation party!  My little sister is graduating from high school.  We're quite excited.  She has traveled a long road to get here.

For church I wore a J.Crew knit dress with a Merona cardigan from Target.  I wore my very tall wedges by RJ Girl.  I think next time I will wear a belt with this dress to better define the waist.

As Promised...

A double outfit post. I did NOT promise that the quality of the pictures (or my expressions in them) was going to be awesome though! Good thing because these didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. I'm starting to get sick and I think it is showing :( Anyway, the butterfly top is a new purchase and looks better in person I think. The magenta coloured dress is an oldie but one I like to bust out of the closet on occasion to brighten up my day. This dress with flats sorta makes me look a little stumpy but I was working today and I didn't want to wear heels around the place so there!

Creamy San Diego

Today I wore my Victoria's Secret creme pants with my Nine West suit jacket.  The sling back pumps are Bandolino.  The necklace and earrings are from Banana Republic va ebay.  Today I felt like going with creamy pink colors.

I like to look cute while traveling.  Comfort is also a concern.  On my trip to San Diego I wore a silk ruffled tank from J. Crew via ebay.  I wore a cardigan sweater from Target (Merona).  My pants are Rock & Republic Victoria Beckham jeans.  I normally prefer to wear a knit dress while traveling.  That way I don't look wrinkly when I arrive, but I am comfortable.  I had to wear my jeans though because I was trying to pack light.  What do you like to wear while traveling?

Musical Monday

Apologies for the lack of fashion pics today...I spent the day lounging in my pjs and so all you get is some music to chill to! I'll double post on Wednesday to make up for it, promise!

Enjoy the weekly cure to Monday blues from the UO blog!

Lately

Last week I wore my Jone NY textured jacket with my Apartment 9 dress from Kohl's. I really love the studded detail on the waist.  I think it brings an edgy look to an outfit for the office.  For accessories I kept it simple and only wore my skeleton key earrings form Shea's etsy store.

Last week I also wore my Ann Taylor blouse with the polka dots with my Banana Republic blazer and accordion pleat skirt.  For shoes I wore my flats from Scarpasa by Milly.  You can find a similar shoe here.

Joshy and I just got back from San Diego!  I will have to put a few pics up here :o). It was SOOO lovely.  I would totally live there ff only a normal size house did not cost $500,000.00!

She's got her Lipstick on!

No, I'm not actually wearing lipstick! Tonight was the final of Eurovision 2011 and the title of this post is a lyric from Ireland's entry by Jedward "Lipstick" which SHOULD have done better than 8th place. We were totally robbed by Azerbaijan who sang a rubbish song!!

After I took these pics, that belt went into the bin. It was a cheap purchase and unfortunately also very cheaply made! :(

Summer in the City

It was 100 degrees today in Wichita.  I decided to play it cool in a dress.  I wore my yellow ruffled J. Crew silk tank with my Antonio Melani grey patterned jumper.  I decided to wear my grey flat pearls from Premier jewelry to finish off the outfit.  It is a matching set of earrings and necklaces.  I thought the outfit needed just a bit more color so I wore my purple pumps also from Antonio Melani. 

I'll Get You My Pretty!

Excuse the fuzziness of these pics please! Another lazy day here and not very nice weather :( The little red necklace, if you can make it out at all, is a pair of red slippers. My sister gave it to me as a gift to remind me of home...cause you know, there's no place like home! :D This blue top was another bargain find for me. It ties in the back to give it slightly more shape and I really like the neckline detail too!

Here's your Monday dose of coolness from the UO blog!

Purple Haze

So I am cheating a little bit with this post. I actually wore this dress to a friend's party last week. The weather was horrible today and I didn't wear anything interesting (and didn't want to post a pic of my lounge wear!) so this is what you get instead. I bought this dress to wear on the cruise we went on for our honeymoon. It's really light and breezy and I love the print and colours!

Prep School

I can admit it, I can be pretty preppy sometimes.  This outfit is definitely the epitome of that look.  This is a Ralph Lauren Blazer (birthday gift from friends), with Chaps boat neck knit top from Kohl's.  I wore some white and tan pants with thin strips with Rockport loafers. Obviously I had to wear pearl earrings with this look!

I also did the knot up-do Shea and I have tried from Linley at Dwelling and Telling.
