Spring's around the corner.

Today is expected to reach 50 degrees, which is quite a change from the 20 degree snow storm blessed days we've been experiencing over the past couple of weeks. I always love the month of March because 1. hi, it's my birthday month and 2. it always seems as though spring is in the air- even if snow is on the ground, it's always the month of March that marks the beginning of my spring wardrobe shopping. Which brings me to Alexander Wang... yes, again. His spring collection is killing me and potentially my bank account. It's quite a task picking a favorite because literally, almost every single piece is what I happen to be desiring this upcoming season... and I know I'm not alone. A.Wang lovers rejoice. xx

 

     

       

Ch-ch-ch-changes.

Remember when I said that I had a feeling that I was going to love this week? Well, I haven't been disappointed. On Tuesday, I am thrilled to announce, that I was lucky enough to win a very daring pair of burgundy thigh-high stockings via a Couture Carrie giveaway. I can barely wait for my seemingly weekly delivery from my UPS guy. I am going to have tons of fun, and many odd stares, I'm sure, trying them with different outfits when the weather climbs above freezing... any day now. 


Another event that took place this week, was my much needed hair appointment. As I went, and when I say went, I do mean I enthusiastically skipped, over to the chair at the salon, a bunch of ideas were racing through my mind- yes, I am that girl that waits until last minute, thank you very much. I decided to go slightly darker with shaggy no fuss bangs. I left very satisfied and I am still getting used to the feeling of something being so close and interfering with my vision. Much like any change, it takes a tad bit of pressure, valor, and a small push. But the end result is something amazing, even though it may take some time getting used to.

{change is good, n'est pas?}

A quality week, indeed. I hope it has been favorable to you as well. Xx

Aubrianna's cake.

It's been quite some time without a cake post. This week I had the pleasure of creating a shopping bag cake for a lovely girl named Aubrianna. She turns eighteen tomorrow so when asked to make a special custom cake just for her, we were totally up for the challenge. We based the design of the cake around all of the things that she loves. She's quite fond of shopping (a girl after my own heart), her cat, Max, basketball, and jewelry. Needless to say, my creative juices left me completely drained and I believe now is a good time for a cup of green and chamomile tea. Bon nuit.

Rhapsody blues.

Most children devote their time playing soccer, battling G.I. Joes in the bathtub, or getting together with the neighborhood girls for an after school tea party. Me on the other hand, I spent most of my time either writing outlandish short stories or spending exhausting hours at a dance studio, and other times I would stray off to my own world where I was a proud owner of a clothing boutique and I could use my imagination to go crazy with a selection that I knew my Barbies and stuffed animals couldn't object to. 

Here we are a good eighteen years later and I'm committing each evening to writing posts about whatever I find important or riveting as well as racking the images on style.com and other fashion blogs, selecting my favorite looks from the au courant runway collections. So, with that being said, below are a few of my picks from the Fall '10 shows, with a color palette surrounding the darker shades of navy.

Smitten.

As you can see, darlings, this site has had some major work done. Coincidentally this change has kick started something in my brain where I want to re-do multiple aspects of my life. My bedroom being top priority. Although I love the varying bright hues of yellow and the unparalleled freshness of green, I'm thinking something along the lines of the image below. Teal, gold, with hints of pink. I have always reserved a special place in my heart for the combination of gold and teal, but the splash of pink was something I never saw coming. But truthfully, I'm enchanted with it. Don't you agree? xx

I'm on a mission.

I experienced yet another case of love at first sight at the Burberry Prorsum show. Let's see here, tailored jacket, check, black knit leggings, and slate button down, check check, thigh high textured boots, not so much. So from here on out, I am on a mission to find boots scarily similar to the alluring pair below. Suggestions and leads are more than welcome. Xx

Reasons why I love this week.

Reason #1: My amazing younger brother, Taylor, is home from his "how to be awesome" school in Florida. He works with motorcycles every day, he's pretty cool and I think I'll keep him- which is quite the change of heart from when I was four. 


Reason #2: On Saturday, my older brother will turn 26, and we're making him these, tiramisu cupcakes.


Reason #3: Birthday list making. I can't recall a year (at least since I was eighteen) that haven't  struggled to come up with desired items to put on my birthday list. Although, this time around, the task seems much more painless than the years prior. 


Reason #4: Today kicks off the month of March and I have high expectations in terms of accomplishing goals within the next 3o days.


Reason #5: Alice and Wonderland is playing in theaters on Friday, I am having major trouble containing my anticipation.

...also, how to have a lovely day. I found this list on my cousin Nikki's blog and needed to share.
