Style Crush: Mary Margaret from Once Upon A Time

While feeling sick over the new years festivities, I decided to take the opportunity to catch up on TV. One of those shows was Once Upon A Time, which was recommended to me by almost all my friends. Of course, they know me well because I loved it! Not only does it feed my love of fantasy and fairy tales, but it is from the creators of my most favorite show ever in the universe, Lost. So it’s a win/win. Then throw in Ginnifer Goodwin‘s adorable wardrobe as Mary Margaret (aka; Snow White) and I’m dead.

Seriously, how cute are her outfits??

She always looks adorably geek chic, and that pixie cut she is rocking is just too much.

That’s why I got inspired to put together my own style boards featuring outfits Mary Margaret herself would be proud to parade around in while hanging in Storybrooke, Maine.

What I Wore: Football Wife

I got an invite for this new website a few weeks ago called, funny enough, GetAnInvite. It stated that if I signed up and checked off my preferences for events, such as sports, concerts and theater, I would be given the opportunity to get free or nearly free tickets to each based on availability. Let’s just say I thought it was a scam, but I signed up anyways. I like to not be so negative sometimes. 😉 Only a few days later, I received an email saying that I was eligible for $6 Miami Dolphins tickets complete with sideline passes. Um, what??? I immediately snagged a pair and for $12, we were able to have a pretty ridiculous date day at the game right on the field with our own lounge that included free food, a bar and private bathrooms. WHAT. I could definitely like football if I experienced it like this.

So, in other words, I suggest you all sign up for this website. I was in no way, shape or form asked to advertise for them – I just think the concept is fantastic!!! It’s nice to be able to experience events you otherwise would have never had the opportunity to – especially with such a sweet price tag (or lack there of). With that said, I had not been to a football game in over a decade, so this was my idea of a good game day outfit and toting a little Sofia Mini was also my idea of tailgating. I have a long way to go, don’t I?

What I Wore: A Little Naughty & a Little Nice

I love pairing together things that really shouldn’t go together in the first place. Case in point: our wedding. It was held at the Ancient Spanish Monastery, which, well….is ancient and very old world. I paired this venue with very modern decor to create that sharp contrast. I kind of like to do that all the time, so fashion is no exception. That’s why when I finally secured an awesome leather skirt, I wanted to pair it with something dainty and feminine. I like to think that I came to be this way because it kind of describes me: a rock and roll chick that digs pink. Wait. Did I just create a catch phrase for myself? Score.

2013

Oh my…look at that. It’s a new year.  A clean slate. Let’s start over, people.
Although I usually run through my previous year’s wishes, I won’t be doing it this time around b/c unfortunately, they were very broad and the majority were not accomplished (le sad face). And it does nothing to focus on the past, right? We can only look forward, and this upcoming year looks to be very, very bright.

What I Wore: The Ballet

I know I said I wouldn’t be back until the new year, but this outfit got a lot of love on my Instagram, so I figured it would make for a good end of year post. Plus, you all know I can’t stay away too long from the blog. It’s a weakness. I hope you all had a fantastic past couple of days with those you love the most!

My Christmas present this year was very simple(ish). I just wanted to be taken out on a romantic date to dinner and a ballet. Namely, The Nutcracker. I hadn’t been since I was a kid, and I’m a sucker for holiday traditions. I’d love for it to be one of ours, and eventually our children. The hubs pulled out all the stops and made me feel like a very lucky wife, which honestly, is a feeling I experience quite often. With that said, I knew this was one of the few occasions where I would be able to rock a sequined dress, so I took full advantage. I just didn’t think my (amazing) dress would come from Forever 21! It was a Christmas miracle. 😉
