Federal Mirrors


I passed up a beautiful convex/federal style mirror at an antique store a few weeks ago and am still kicking myself for it. I've been stalking Etsy and eBay for the perfect one {it would be a gorgeous addition to a gallery wall}. 

Also: Please join me over at Savor Home where I'm sharing my personal style in interior design. Tiffany's blog is filled with gorgeous inspiration, be sure to stop by and say hello!

Wednesday Thoughts

Lately:

+ Teaching myself Sketchup in hopes of making my interior designer dreams come true. Has anyone used it? Any tips? 
+ Prepping my wardrobe for a fun summer in two fun cities. Wanting to add these ikat shorts and these wedges.
+ Finally got around to making these no-bake energy bites I've been seeing on Pinterest. They're so good and the perfect snack to take to work.
+ Watched The Hunger Games {with a lot of high schoolers}. Thinking about starting the books?
+ Getting excited about our big move to the Big Apple. We finally found a place to live, makes it so real!

Also: Please hop over to one of my favorite blogs, The Vault Files where I'm participating in Gaby's In My Makeup Bag series!

Floral Pants


Would you wear floral pants? The secret to styling them is pairing them with a basic, neutral top or blazer. And I love the leopard heels in the last image {all about mixing prints}.

Get Olivia Palermo's version here.
$14.95 version here.
My personal favorite here.

Jewelry Storage


After seeing these images I definitely need a new system in my jewelry organization. Right now my necklaces drape over our antique mirror, so if I want one in the back, I have to take them all off. My bracelets and smaller accessories lay haphazardly in a vintage mirrored tray. I love the idea of having a small jewelry vignette, with a jewelry box {check out Etsy for really pretty vintage options}, necklace tree, and organized tray for holding brooches and smaller accessories. 

How is your jewelry organized?

Inslee



Look one : shirt | jeans | clutch | shoes
Look two : shirt | jeans | phone case | shoes

I'm loving this drawing by Inslee. The outfits are the perfect mix of classic and feminine. Roll the cuffs of the denim and sleeves for extra style.

Also, check out the rest of Inslee's drawings, they're all gorgeous!

Glasses


I love the look of big, square glasses. My problem is -- I'm not even close to needing glasses. What are your thoughts on wearing glasses without needing them? Is it ok to wear the frames and treat them just as another accessory?

Weekend Snaps


Celebrating Matt's birthday // Birthday breakfast: puffed french toast
Blue sky // Blue jacket
Coconut oil* {new favorite beauty product} // Baubles

How was your weekend?

* I use the coconut oil on my skin, lips, and once or twice a week I apply it to the ends of my hair for about thirty minutes before getting in the shower. Works wonders!

The Vest


I've been loving adding a vest over an otherwise simple outfit -- it's such an easy layering piece and makes any outfit look more polished. I have this one that I wear all the time, but I've been wanting to build my collection. Loving these images as inspiration!
