What I Wore: Social Saturday

For being someone that adores color and brights, I have been deathly afraid to give color blocking a whirl. Maybe I fear that I will just take the idea and run with it. After all, once you give me access to color, I tend to turn into a crazy 6-year-old child. But, I had a lot of fun putting this one together. So much fun, in fact, that I may just try it again. 😉

I am in love with this airy blouse from Conversation Pieces. It is the perfect spring item to pair with a great pair of colored skinnies, which I did for a very busy Saturday with friends. I had to work in the morning, quickly followed by a girls lunch at Scotty’s Landing and then an amazing Panther game with more friends. I had to make sure I looked comfortable and cute, and this definitely fit the bill.

I added this fun nautical jacket for the hockey game, and I am so glad I did! It was absolutely freezing for this Miami girl, but the team’s amazing shots and nerve-wracking moments proved to provide a little warmth here and there.

Lovable Friday

1. Boston Terrier Pops

If there’s one thing I cannot deny, it’s my love of Boston Terriers. I can’t imagine saying no to a cake pop in their image. Could you? Highly doubtful. Although I’ve heard cake pops are horrifically difficult to make, I’d give these a go just based on the cuteness factor.

Wrist Candy

As you all know, on the top of my accessory wish list is plenty and plenty of beautiful wrist candy! I’m loving all the gorgeously piled bracelets I’m seeing on my favorite fashion bloggers and random Pinterest photos. They are just so playful and youthful. I think that if I had an arm full of color and whimsy, it would be impossible to not look down and smile multiple times during the day, am I right? Here are some of my favorites that I have stumbled on while surfing the Internets.

1. ASOS coloured cube bracelet – $8.06
2. ASOS retro skulls friendship bracelet – $21.49
3. Forever 21 lacquered wing bracelet – $6.80
4. ASOS pastel bunting bracelet – $14.32

6. Nasty Gal Leo zodiac bracelet – $48

Also, my birthday is only in 3 months, you know. 😉

Happy Hump Day {Role Reversal}: Zooey Deschanel

So a very long time ago, all you lovely people suggested that I feature some of my favorite girls. I always had this idea on the back burner, but just never got around to it – mainly not knowing how to incorporate it into posts. Now I know. Every month, I’ll play a little role reversal on Hump Days, giving the girls a chance to shine as well.

And let’s face it. All us ladies have a few good girl crushes, right?
I had to start it with the absolutely lovely, Zooey Deschanel. She was the inspiration for my most recent haircut, and one of my most favorite style icons. I think she’s all sorts of wonderful (we even share a gluten intolerance – aw). And how amazing is her show, New Girl? It’s the highlight of my week, seriously. Plus, check out her adorable blog, Hello Giggles. Heart: bursting. Even more when she comes paired with the gorgeous Joseph Gordon Levitt. God, I love them so.
