POPS of color




Lately I have been noticing how grey my wardrobe really is and it has made me realize what one great pop of color will do for any outfit. Becki Newton's purple dress paired with hot blue pumps looks perfectly balanced. If she had gone the "standard" route of pairing a metallic shoe with the bright purple dress it would have been nice, but not quite as exciting. Emma Stone's dress has a lot going on, but the sleek and simple hair tones it down so that the addition of a deep blue heel looks effortless. Finally, Alexis Bledel's all black attire for the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants premiere is extremely chic, however the addition of a bright pink lip adds a little something special; not to mention her gorgeous blue eyes!

If you want to try this look out I suggest a shoe, scarf, or nail polish! I've just begun to realize how much fun nail color is! ( If your a fan of The Hills, check out Lauren's nail polish in the next episode. She is constantly changing the color of her nails from black, to bright purple, to apple red.)

You Love the People That Love You


I just moved back to school so that accounts for the lack of posts and the change of scenery. Now I am back and ready for fall to kick into gear, however since it is still 90 degrees out I am wearing summer styles like this ^^^ everyday. Here I have added my new minnetonka ankle booties which I plan to customize just as soon as I find studs (anyone know where to look? I haven't found any at Michaels or other art supply stores)

In the bottom picture you can also see another one of my spectacular finds from my mother's old trunk. The silver belt is part of the Train Cases and Indian Treasures category. I found it a year ago but just started wearing it; its real silver, and it is woven with a row of different patterned coins on top. ( I will try and post a close-up later)

For everyone that is back to school today, enjoy your classes!

P.S- For any t.v. lovers out there, I watched the new 90210 last night and I'm not really sure what I think of it yet; it's a little awkward. I feel like I would prefer the original because I love old 90s shows...I may have to go buy the first season on dvd :)
