floral lovelies

I finished painting (well, sort of finished painting, i still have to do alllllll the trim) my dressing room this weekend in an attempt to avoid studying for the first exam in my class. Wrapping up the last of the soft pretty blue/gray walls got me excited to continue on and finish the whole room. So, the past few days home decor has been much more on my mind than spring dresses and block heels 

(gasp! something on my mind more than dresses and shoes!?) 

I like to peruse Etsy for inspiration and came across these super fantastic items that would go just right in my room.

Spring Thistles , Vintage Blue Deer Planter , Single Stem Dried Hydrangea , Craspedia and Fiddleheads

not that i'm counting

hot pink mini dress... check. 

super rad color blocked block heels... check.

sparkling crystal squirrel necklace... check.

okay! all set for spring, only 21 days to go! 

(not that i'm counting.....)

Side note: did ya'll realize it's almost been one full year of blogging daily desires? so many many outfits, so little little money?

stay tuned for a happy anniversary treat!

A little birdie told me...

A little birdie on Modcloth told me this AWEsome dress is coming soon. And I said right back to that sweet little bird, 

"Why are you such a tease you stupid bird?!" 

Anyone else totally ready for some nice bright saturated hues?

lilo's courtroom style

 Lindsay Lohan's courtroom dress has been much a buzz on the interwebs. This dress by Kimberly Ovitz is hard to come by since, but why bother when you can get this vintage gem from Iron Orchid on Etsy! Not only is the Claralura Original way less expensive  it comes complete with a super rad cape! 

Vintage 1960's Two Piece White Textured Dress

 

Kitten Love

I'm not usually a fan of one shoulderededed dresses because I am a super fan of proper foundation garments. I have yet to find a comfortable and supportive strapless/convertable bra. 

(Any suggestions???)

Anyway, I would totally tough it out with my 

BioFit 7way monstrosity to wear this darling dress! 

Oh yeah, can I just say HELLOOOOOOOO summer sandals! 

Who's got $350 bucks I can borrow?

Hello Happy Hedgehog

It's been a full year of me obsessing over pale peachy pinks. 

I just can't get enough!

A quick styling tip on this dress....

If you aren't up and down skinny like the model is, pair it with a delicate belt. It will give you a better balance by showing off your waist, but will maintain the light and fluttery feel.

cute overload

This outfit is reeeeediculous. I know. What level headed 30 year old would wear such a tart-tastic ensemble? 

Well, that'd be me. 

I am so super over the winter that I am reverting to my early 20's.

 Babydoll dresses, wicked adorable purses, and big shoes were pretty much my uniform. Nowadays I've just replaced the ankhs, evil eyes and rosaries for more delicate floral jewelry. The big ol' boots and creepers are making way for more effeminate t-straps, mary janes and wedges (although DocMartins have been recently popping up on my favorite blogs and online retailers, go figure.)

Aaaaaanyway, Come On Spring!!!!
