Pretty petals on the path. People playing in the grass. Summer stroll in skirts and shades. Darling dearest dream for days.

Sticks and stones, jewels and gems. Sun is shining. We rise again.

Picnic, playtime, pleasure, peace. These are a few of my favorite things.

U of M Fashionistas Top the Charts

Breaking News: 

7 University of Michigan students were chosen as 1 of the 51 Best Dressed College Students Across the County by Teen Vogue!

Brains and beauty go hand-in-hand. So do the Umich girls pictured. All of these lovely ladies are a part of the University’s SHEI Magazine.

I’ve never been so proud to wear maize and blue (or something in that color family).

Congrats to U of M’s fashionistas!

Casual Friday Does Not Exist

Look good, feel good.

That’s always been my motto. I’m heading back to the city for another summer internship at ShopBAZAAR.

It’s important to know what you’re working with, so I’ve done a bit of “research” and picked a few work-ready looks from shop.harpersbazaar.com.

You don’t have to ask me twice to keep things buttoned up. I’m all about white collar work. This Equipment silk shirt adds a nice pop of color, but Marc Jacobs never disappoints. I love the ruffles on this white blouse. Making sure things stay classy, I’ve chosen this Ostwald-Helgason skirt and Tod’s leather satchel.

Staying level-headed is important when working in the office. I’ve balanced a Marc Jacobs floral top with a black and white striped A.L.C trouser. I love cuffs. Kara Ross, Jennifer Fisher and Auden have jewels and gems worth saving your money for.

Screen shot 2013-05-13 at 5.52.29 PM

As five o’clock rolls around, the business professionals, bosses and execs (even those hard working interns) head to their favorite spot for an after-hours drink. Blazers and button downs are nice (thanks Candela and Stella McCartney) but you didn’t wear those wedges to walk around the office. Alongside Jenni Kanye two-toned pants and a few sassy accessories, these Pierre Hardy sling-back wedges will get the job done.

The Hitch-Hiker

Picnic on the beach, stroll through the park, frolic through the forest.

Get Outdoors!

Screen shot 2013-05-03 at 9.34.32 PMTo grandmother’s house we go? I think not. Riverside or off the beaten trail, don’t ruin a pair of cut-offs with a ragged tee. This turquoise print blouse from J. Crew will lighten your load and minimizing the need for heavy accessories.

A picnic basket can hold your trail mix, bug spray and a peach-tint lip balm. Never enter the woods without the necessities.

Screen shot 2013-05-03 at 9.34.10 PMLet your hair down, leave your iPhone at home and prepare for an afternoon adventure! Use your natural surrounds as inspiration for a simple look. Minimal jewelry and an open mind is all you need.

Screen shot 2013-05-03 at 9.33.24 PMAlways remember to watch your back. You never know who or what you’ll come across while exploring the great outdoors!

Anna Chung?

Alexa_Chung-Street_Style-British_Style-2

Her name starts with an A. My name starts with an A.

She a goofy gal. I’m a pretty strange character myself.

She has short hair. I have even shorter hair.

We both like dressing up. We are elegantly girly with a mix of thrifty finds and just enough boyish vintage to be considered androgynously feminine.

I WANNA BE ALEXA CHUNG!

Here’s how I’m gonna make it happen:

We may not look like twins, but Alexa Chung’s style has the exact type of oddness and excitement that I’m going for. It won’t be long until you’ll be seeing double!

 

 

 

 

 

Sun, Shades and Snow?

Since it decided to snow today, I’ve decided to envision the warm spring weather we are suppose to be having in late April. I’ve been dreaming about what I would be wearing if Michigan weather wasn’t so crazy.

 

Outfits inspired by a few of my favorite new pieces at J Crew.

Screen shot 2013-04-24 at 6.56.33 PMYou don’t have to play nice when wearing floral. Give your pretty print edge and mix flowers with hardware. These Dolce & Gabbana shades match the metal detailing in the clutch and wedge sandals.

Screen shot 2013-04-24 at 7.06.23 PMI have to say, I can never turn away pink. Muted colors really pop when you add florecents. Anthropologie has craft accessories for playing dress-up in pink. 

Screen shot 2013-04-24 at 7.13.30 PMClassic. That’s me. A button down will never do me wrong. Even in the summer. When I add a statement necklaces and some killer heals, you’ll find me strutting down the beach boardwalk. I LOVE Prada‘s line of sunglasses. 

When will summer actually be here?

Black Dress Occasion

SHEIfest is the night wear new trends are tested, fashions are flaunted and everyone wants to look their very best. I myself, find the LBD suitable for any occasion. At a runway event like this, I was all about business. Working backstage with models and running up front to introduce the show, it was a busy night. Lucky for me I found this fab black button-up dress with a heather grey jersey back that was perfect for the show. With a leather belt wrapped tight and a pearl necklace and earring comb, I was feeling like Miranda Priestly.

You know me, I love anything with a collar
