it's so cold in alaska

I've truly embraced blush tones for spring.

And today it's going to snow. 

The Velveteen Rabbit

(forever 21 dress, h&m shrug, deena & ozzy shoes, ghastly tights)

I don't think I will ever tire of a "baby doll dress".  They're sort of my go to look for fall and winter.  Especially with a empire waist- it can hide the few extra lbs you pack on during the holidays (wink wink).  I love this little crushed velvet number- it's a gorg wine stained red and completely seasonal.  These shoes, dear lord- I swear I have wrecked them into oblivion.  I've owned them for over a year & 1 1/2 now- they've trampled through the streets of New York, the treacherous snows of Buffalo, pick up games of football (kidding!),  dive bar bathrooms and the like.  They look like shit- but maybe that's the appeal at this point?! Grunge galore.

auburn and ivory

(forever 21 dress, sandals, and necklace, h&m beaded cardigan)

This is what I wore for weekly date night.  The beau and I took in a midnight viewing of Sex & The City 2, which was a bit of a disappointment. Clocking in at just over 2.5 hours, the movie seemed to drag on forever.  I did enjoy some of Pat Field's crazy clothing concoctions but as a whole--let down.

I hope everyone had a lovely memorial day filled with bbq's and drinks.

gold in the air

(vintage blouse & dress, h&m scarf, nine west wedge, vintage & forever 21 jewelry)

I'm enjoying the look of soft neutrals and pastels for the transition of seasons.  Gold accents mixed with the various tones of beige is refreshing. Going ahead with the sock & open-toe'd sandal trend I paired my new Nine West wedges with knee socks, and was pleased with the result.  I'm hoping for more sun-filled days and grill parties after work.
