Snip snip

Although not an official list of my favorite things, today’s post is still lovable. After all, who doesn’t love a good haircut? After a couple of years growing out my hair, I thought it was time to make it look somewhat decent. I had managed to spend the past month putting it up in a bun/ponytail whenever possible to avoid the mop you see to your left, but enough was enough!

I have finally returned to the land of good hair.
Next up? Fixing my blotchy, crazy color. Word of the wise: color out of a box is never your friend.

A Few Good Flats

Embarrassing fashion blogger confession time: I have no cute flats in my closet. Like, not even a pair of boring black ones.

I know it should be some sort of crime (especially considering that my feet are not big fans of heels), but I am severely lacking in this department. I seem to have replaced them with wedges, but sometimes, you just need something a little more casual and comfy but a little hipper than your every day pair of chucks. Am I right?

I have fond memories of flats past, especially my sequined flats from Old Navy. Remember those? I’d love to find a few affordable and versatile pairs to take their place in my heart, because honestly this is just ridiculous.

Here are some that stood out in my hunt;

1.Wanted Ritzy Pewter Metallic Sparkle Slip-On Flats; 2. Old Navy Glitter Flats; 3. Old Navy Cap-Toe Canvas Flats; 4. TOMS Glitter Slip-Ons; 5. A Gloss for Words Flats

What are your favorite pair of flats?

Squeeworthy: Fun & Girly Prints

Can I just gush about how much I love all the really fun and girly clothing and accessories I am seeing pop around the Internets? From someone that enjoys dressing like a 6 year old (direct quote from my mother), I could not be happier to see lots of loud prints featuring polka dots, hearts and other patterns that are generally left for Kindergarteners to rock.

Here is a compilation I threw together featuring some of my favorites (& they are affordable too!);

1. Asos Bouncing Bunnies sweater $27.27; 2. Top Shop Lightning Bolt earrings $14; 3. Asos heart-shaped buckle belt $18.18; 4. Asos Heart Sweater $63.63; 5. Old Navy polka dot sweater $24.94

What I Wore: 2012

What’s up, 2012!

I hope all of you rang in the new year in the best way possible – whether it was in your pj’s with a bottle glass of champagne or living it up with friends while out on the town. I started the year with this fun photoshoot courtesy of the hubs in the design district of Miami, followed by some cleansing of sorts: starting to clear out our garage and move around some stuff in the house (one of my wishes, remember?).  I keep telling myself it is the beginning of a fantastic year, even though I have already managed to be glutened and break glass.

What I Wore: European Vacation {London Town}

London was just perfect. I know I seemed to have gushed about our first stop, Barcelona, but it was quickly forgotten the minute I walked out of our flat and saw The Houses of Parliament and Big Ben staring back at me. I have a hard time describing it, with the only word coming to mind being magical. For a longer and more detailed gush session, feel free to check out my post on our couples blog, The Bombardment Society. With that said, one of my favorite features London had to offer were their amazingly beautiful parks. There is no shortage, that’s for sure, and coming from Miami…well, I had to take advantage. Our parks do not look like this. I knew at least one outfit post had to be stationed in one of them, and the lucky winner was St. James Park, which was overrun with greenery, beauty and the friendliest squirrels on the planet.
