Gerani-YUM

What's black, white and red all over?.... Apparently me. I had forgotten about my red pants for a very long time. The last time I probably wore them was here, but something made me remember them. I have seen a lot of colorful denim these days, though brighter colors and more pastels. Yesterday was not quite a pastel kind of day to me (overcast and rainy), so I felt my muted red pants were appropriate. My nails on the other hand, are bittersweet candy! I have been obsessing over Essie's Geranium since I picked it out for a friend with a very specific outfit in mind. Once I saw it on her, I knew I needed to get it. Now that I have tried it, I can safely say that it will be one of my warm weather favorites (if the warm weather ever really comes).
I'm thinking I need some Geranium colored denim! Where do you find candy colored denim?

the HOUND...

I really really like hound's tooth patterns. It is one of those patterns that can also be treated as a neutral. There is something sophisticated about it, but also very fun and lady-like.  This skirt really makes me feel like an adult. I decided to pair the muted colored hound's tooth skirt, with a bright bright top and equally bright shoes. I feel like I have been wearing this top constantly since I bought it. I have already worn it so many ways, and I can't wait to style it yet another way. Even though it is pretty loud, it has become a staple of my closet. The color makes the skirt even more lively and less stiff (well the shape is still rather constricting :) ).
This hound will deffo hunt again!

see- FOAM

It's been a while. I'm out of practice, and lately it seems, out of inspiration. I have been working a lot, and seeing less. Even shopping has become a chore to me-- I can't find anything. My last shopping adventure, with my patient boyfriend, resulted in nothing, nada, niente... except disappointment. The trip before was a little bit more fruitful, but ended in a return (or two). I did however find this seafoam beauty at Forever21. I was in love. Something about the color speaks to ethereal mermaids and fairy tales. Because of its whimsical nature, I paired it with harsh black and white horizontals and my edgy new JC's that I was dreaming about months ago. This brought the pretty foam back to reality... almost.
I can't wait to try the maxi in different ways... Bring on the summer!
