Summertime Staple

{BCBG Generation Dress, Steve Madden Heels, Vintage Necklaces}

This past week I had to finally invest in a new couch for our new apartment in Memphis. I am particularly excited about this new piece and I can't wait to pick it up and decorate around it. It was not easy making a blind purchase (I couldn't stand not having a couch the day I got in.. I am terrible), and picking out something that I felt would "go". We looked at about ten different apartments when we were in town in December, including the one we have put our deposit down. The new apartment we chose had this amazing 3D video you could watch to see the apartment, and I confess I have been looking at it about once a week to see what will go where. Well that little 3D video helped me choose out my couch, which is a perfect blue color, and it made the couch purchasing process much easier. I was thinking of doing a house tour once everything is in place! So look out for one of my first home posts I have had here on the blog. On a side note, light Cotton dresses are on my must list for the summer in Memphis. This great BCBG Generation dress is going to be perfect for those hot and humid days I have to face in my near future.

Cashmere Crush

{Vintage Banana Republic Sweater, Madewell Jeans, MING Mules, Lionel Bag}

This recent rain in LA has been an absolute blessing. If your not familiar to LA weather, we have been in a pretty bad drought and the current rain has made it greener here than I have ever seen. We snuck out last week after one of the biggest rain storms LA has seen in years, and we caught glimpse of a clean (especially smelling) town. The fog had just crested over the mountains and the dense feeling in the air was making a Sunday morning almost perfect. It also brought a nice cold spell to LA, which gave me a great excuse to pull out the cashmere sweater. I have been wanting a black cashmere sweater for some time now, and wanted something very specific. I wanted it almost form fitting, not super long and a crew neck. With those specifications - it has been almost near to impossible to find one. I found this perfect little soft gem at a thrift store for only 20 bucks.

Mustard to Velvet

So we decided to take a whole different approach to shooting an outfit for this post. Now since starting the blog I strictly wanted street style photos and was afraid to make it my own. I think I was a little nervous to make it anything than what people are used to seeing on a fashion blog. But, my dear photographer friend really wanted us to try something new - and why the heck now. I found this MISA Los Angeles dress for an utter steal (you can click the link above to purchase the dress), and I might keep this around for holiday parties later this year. Maybe to soon to be thinking about future holiday dresses, but come on, before you know it - it will be October.

Crisp Poplin

I have been a huge fan of "Poplin" since last summer. Being in LA last summer those crisp cotton dresses were perfect to deflect the heat in. I am looking forward to wearing more of these this summer since I am in Memphis, which means a more humid summer. I found this Zara dress for only 13.00, which was a steal seeing its original tag had it for 49.00. I also have to plug this amazing Organic Lipstick I recently bought from Kosas, this one is rosewater, and they are now my newest obsession.

Pinked and Buckled

{ASOS Sweater, Madwell Jeans, ASOS Shoes}

Still loving this cool winter weather, and the ability to throw on a sweater for the whole day makes it alot sweeter. I am looking forward to spring, but this winter weather is nice to have before summer takes ahold and I sweat like no other. Going to be in Memphis over the summer, so I will have my first hand experiencing the South Humidity - which basically means I will be naked 24/7,
