Lovable Friday

1. A Letter from Fred; A friend posted this on his Facebook, and I decided to listen as I was driving home from work. Well, needless to say, I think everyone driving by me thought someone had just died because I was sobbing in my driver’s seat. This is such a touching and heartfelt story about an old man and his undying love for his recently deceased wife. I think everyone should have the opportunity to experience a love this powerful and, as Frank put it, REAL. Just have your tissues ready.

2. Sherlock; Add another TV obsession to the list. Sherlock is just incredible. I love the beauty shots of my favorite city, the way the show is filmed and the incredible cast. It gives Sherlock Holmes a new modern side that you have never seen before. At a running time of 90 minutes an episode, you really have to commit, but it is so worth it. Seasons are only 3 episodes long, and trust me, they leave you wanting more. Plus, is Benedict Cumberbatch not the cutest? I totally adore him and his Asperger-ness.

3. *Nsync reunion; I have a confession to make: I used to be one helluva Nsync fangirl back in the day. I went to more shows than I can remember, learned all the dance moves and yes, even had a Lance Bass marionette (figures I loved the gay one). So when they reunited (even for a brief 2 minutes) on last weekend’s VMA’s, a little piece of me reverted back to that 18 year old hyper fan. Seriously, I screamed, jumped and possibly shed a few tears. But what a tease! I demand a reunion tour!

4. Jelly boots; These clear ombre-like boots are killing me. Mainly because I don’t know if I should add them to my wardrobe. Sure, they are fun and different, but will they stand the test of time? My vote is probably no, but I am not one to adhere to any of those silly guidelines anyways. Plus, this would give me another reason to buy more fun socks! Good talk, self. Good talk.

5. Black Milk’s Harry Potter line; As my best friend, Elsie, would say: “Just shut up & take my money.” I share that sentiment in regards to Black Milk Clothing’s new Harry Potter line that is slated to debut September 10th. Leggings, dresses and swimsuits decked out in marauder maps, deathly hallows and house crests? Say no more. How much were they again?

Lovable Friday!

1. Ombre sneaks; It’s no secret. I love all things ombre, especially when they come along with a DIY challenge! The uber talented Gissi, of The Architect of Style, broke down the steps of how to achieve perfectly rose petal dipped canvas shoes, and I have to say, this looks like something I can give a whirl. Maybe I should wait until after I finish my year long studded sneaker DIY, huh? Ha.

2. Donut piñata; Homer Simpson would be so proud. Although I’m pretty sure I’d never be able to DIY my own piñata, this one is just so cute it hurts. Definitely for those with a sweet tooth, it would be a perfect detail to any fiesta. If anyone tries it, definitely let me know!

3. Gold dot shower curtain; While shopping for a new shower curtain (life is super exciting these days), I stumbled on this amazing one. Unfortunately, it is no longer available (& had an outrageous price tag anyways), but it would have added such a touch of kitschy class to our master bathroom. Everything happens for a reason though: I was able to find an even better (& affordable) one that fits in perfectly with our mermaid/sea theme. Details soon!

4. Gold leaf barrette; Speaking of gold, this beautiful hair clip is the perfect accessory to jazz up any outfit. I honestly think it would even make a gorgeous bridal hairpiece for a boho chic wedding!

5. Lime Crime’s Babette; I’ve been on a Lime Crime high lately (hello unicorn packaging!), and have been obsessively stalking their new products. Babette had been in the works for some time, and now that it has been released, I need me one. Too bad I waited too long and it is now sold out. Drats.

What I Wore: Wynwood Sunday

Although the thought of Monday slowly creeping up beyond the distance can ruin any Sunday, they may be my new favorite. The hubs and I usually have a date day, try something new and explore. Although the Wynwood neighborhood is not new for us, I tried Panther Coffee for the first time (I don’t think I’m hipster enough to hang there) and finally got to try Taqueria (yay for corn tacos that don’t make me sick). The sun was blazing something fierce, but thankfully this super comfy silk dress kept it light and fresh. Paired with my new favorite surplus vest, I kind-of-maybe played the part of ultra cool hipster. 😉

What I Wore: Nerdy Chic

Yeah, I’m one of those people that wear glasses without any need. I remember staring at all the girls that had glasses growing up and being envious. One in particular stands out in my memory with red frames (a la Sally Jessy Raphael) that I was particularly jealous of. I guess I’ve just always been a fan of over accessorizing. 😉

In other news, I hope no one minds, but I’m just going to rock maxi skirts every day for the rest of the year. Cool?

What I Wore: Rock ‘n Roll Summer

The hubs has been traveling a lot for work lately, so when we get time to ourselves, we really relish in it. On this day, while sitting on a bench in front of our favorite French bakery eating macaroons, I told him, “I love you now more than ever.” We will be 11 years together in a few weeks, and 6 years married in November, yet now is when my love for him seems overpowering. Is that something that some of you readers have experienced? Not that I didn’t love him before of course, but I am now feeling an even deeper connection after all these years.

Life is pretty spectacular, people.
