What I’m lovin’: Chadwicks

Back when I was 18, I wore a dress from Chadwicks when I was a bridesmaid in my cousin’s wedding.  I hadn’t given the company much thought since then.  Sure, I loved my dress, but I always associated them with formal wear.  Lately though, I’ve noticed them popping up everywhere.  When I saw the amazing [...]

What I’m lovin’: Bright and beautiful colors

I want color – by SimpleElegance1 on Polyvore.com
I’m feeling a bit under the weather this week, with a stuffy nose and slightly sore throat.  Nothing too bad, just enough to make me not want to get out of bed.  After looking in my closet this morning and trying to figure out what to wear, I [...]

What I’m lovin’: Anthropologie

Despite the fact that I’ve known of the Tampa Anthropologie store for almost a year, I didn’t actually visit the store until just a few weeks ago.  This was my first time ever in Anthropologie, and I was amazed.  It felt like everything had been designed just for me.  All of the style were exactly [...]

Etsy Love: Handmade Clothes

It’s true that I have yet to buy any clothes on Etsy.  But with all the amazing options I’ve been seeing lately, I know it’s only a matter of time.  I love the idea of being able to put a face and name with the person who made my clothes, as opposed to it being [...]

What I’m lovin’: Boden’s Spring 09 Collection

Textured Cotton Blazer $98
I just recently discovered Boden.  I haven’t bought anything from them yet, but I’ve heard from other reliable sources that their stuff is top quality.  It’s a bit pricey (for me at least) and all the sizes are UK, which can be a bit confusing for some.  But the items they have [...]

New Year’s Resolution

(photo by me)
Since I’m in graduate school, I’ve mainly been living off of my student loans.  That means that I get most of my money in a big chunk in the beginning of the semester.  This has revealed some of my poor money habits to me.  It’s very easy when you have $4000 of your [...]

Daily Outfit: Keeping warm and colorful

When the weather started to turn cold, I began to realize just how much of my cold weather wardrobe is black.  This can lead to very gloomy days, so I have been intentionally trying to add more color to my outfits while still not freezing.

Reader’s Poll: Are vintage clothes always small?

(photo by me)
I tried (I mean really, really tried) to go vintage shopping this past weekend.  A local vintage shop was having a 50% off sale, so all week long I had visions of the gorgeous shift dress and pencil skirts I would buy.  When I got to the store on Sunday, I spent a [...]

Daily Outfit: Trying Something New

Lately, one of my goals has been trying to find ways to use items that have been sitting in my closet forever, but that I can’t bring myself to get rid of.  These are usually items that I may really like, but can’t figure out how to wear.  With today’s outfit, I managed to use [...]

Daily Outfit: Cashmere Wine

Here’s another outfit centered around a buy from Revolve.  This time it’s a gorgeous 100% cashmere DKNY cardigan that I got for $20, a steal for that much cashmere.  The scarf is handknit by me (the pattern is the Lace Ribbon Scarf from Knitty)
