OOTD: June 17

This wrap dress is so comfortable and since my sister bought it for me, I love it even more. I have to wear a tank top under it since it’s a little low cut and usually I wear white or black, but I like the subtle color that this mint green adds. This dress has a sash attached to it but I think it looks better with a different colored belt over it to define my waist more and break up all that blue.

I’m also wearing a special necklace that my sweet mother-in-law brought back for me from her trip to New Zealand a few years ago. You can’t really see it in the picture but it’s a cute little kiwi bird. I should have taken a close up shot. I’ll try to do that next time I wear it. It’s just a simple necklace but people always comment on it.

Dress: Gap
Belt: Anthropologie, Looping Lanes
Kiwi Bird Necklace: Gift from MIL’s trip to New Zealand
Tank & Shoes: old, can’t remember where these came from

Little Miss Sunshine

This is a simple outfit but I like this combo of yellow, navy, and grey. It's also nice to see the sunshine again after last night's storm that knocked our power out briefly. Looks like it might rain a little again tonight though.

Well, I better get back to work now! I hope everyone is having a nice Wednesday. Half-way to the weekend! :-)

Shopping With Glee!

Check out my guest post over at Effortless Anthropologie. This project was so much fun for me & my friend Sara to put together!

Splashes of Color

This is actually Sunday's outfit. We went on one of our little weekend adventures to St. Augustine for lunch and a stroll through the winding alleys and side streets of the historic district. It was really warm outside so this sleeveless dress & light-weight cardigan were perfect. I wanted to add a little color so I borrowed a sash from another dress. I thought the colors on the wall behind me made a pretty cool backdrop. The bird at the top was a beautiful purple & turquoise peacock.

Who Let the Dogs Out?

Here are some pictures of my babies! The one on the right is little Jefferson. He's very snuggly and loves to sit on my lap. The lighting in the picture is kind of bad but he looked so adorable that I had to use it anyway. I wanted to get a picture of Bailey too but he is in need of a bath and a good brushing, so here's an older photo of him looking well-groomed.

Leap Year

This morning I watched Leap Year and it was kind of a predictable chick-flick. Anna, played by Amy Adams, makes a trip to Dublin, Ireland with the intention of proposing to her boyfriend because there is an Irish tradition that says a woman can propose to a man on February 29 during a leap year. Along the crazy trip to Dublin she connects with the cranky Declan who turns out to be a lot nicer than he at first seemed. I'm sure you can guess what happens in the end.




Anyway, the setting was so beautiful that I didn't care that the movie was a little silly. It made me want to take a trip to Ireland right now! I also love the way they styled Amy Adams. And I'd like to have her pretty red hair.
Here are some of the cute outfits from the movie.
