Over the Weekend

Happy Monday! I’m heading to the airport now to fly back to New York, so I’ll make this quick. We had a jam packed weekend, but here are a handful of photos to show a few of the places we visited while in Nashville this past weekend. We had a fantastic time in this great town and I can’t wait to come back! xo

Lunch at Marche.

Ice cream at Jeni’s.

Stopped into Imogene + Willie.

Had strong, yummy coffee, and biscuits at Barista Parlor.

Had to check out the Grand Ole Opry!

Loved swinging into this cute store called Old Made Good.

Hope y’all have a great Monday! xo

Buttoned Up

RayBan Wayfarers / F21 Shirt / J.Crew Necklace (gift) / Banana Republic Sweater / Need Supply Shearling Jacket (first worn here) / Target Jeans / Not Rated Saddle Boot

I cannot tell a lie. This outfit (and hair) was once again inspired by the stylish Blair, of Atlantic-Pacific. I put my own spin on this ensemble, but what drew me to this look in the first place was the buttoned-up blouse and how she paired it with something as simple a basic gray crewneck sweater creating a chic, ladylike combination.

But last weekend when I walked into the bedroom, wearing my blouse buttoned up all the way with my bejeweled neck decoration tied just so that it fell right beneath the collar, and asked A what he thought, he looked at me and said, “What’s up man-shirt.” Men and women really do have different ideas about what’s stylish. Le sigh.

But, I can’t really complain, because lucky for me, A does in fact recognize when something is stylish in the fashion world even when/if it’s not his favorite thing in “real life.” In the end, I do my best to always try and mix it up to create a happy medium.

I’m curious…does your boyfriend ever balk at anything you wear?

***Disclaimer: Don’t worry, A is extremely supportive and always makes it clear that he does not care what I wear as long as it makes me happy, but that if I ask his opinion on an outfit, he will always tell me his honest opinion no matter what. Gotta love an honest guy. :)

and the winner Is…

Remember when I posted about the Couturious contest? Well, a decision was finally made and this super cute look titled, Travel Chic by Connie Chang, was the winner! Here are a few words from Connie:

“Hello, my name is Connie Chang and I am currently a Fashion Design student at Otis College of Art & Design. Fashion and fine art has always been my favorite subjects since I was very young and am continually educating myself to grow to become a bridal designer someday. I enjoy expressing myself through creating art and I love exploring those who create their own. I admire genuine people with kind hearts and passion, and believe success simply comes from hard work and determination. As much as I love traveling, “Travel Chic” is a perfect way of expressing the style of outfit I prefer to dress while I am on the road.”

Congratulations, Connie and thanks to everyone else who submitted!

Press Preview: Obey Clothing

Isn’t Vanessa adorable?

My wolf head ring!

Last week I went and met the lovely Vanessa from Obey, who was kind enough to show me the brand’s new line of clothing and accessories. The preview was held at the very hip and chic Ace Hotel, which I am still jonesing to have brunch there—any takers?—and I immediately fell in love the space. The items were showcased in one of the sleeping rooms, and the selection was fresh, edgy and fun. Truth be told, I wanted it all. I took a few snaps of my favorite pieces, but my very favorite item was the wolf head ring that was given to me in the gift bag! I have pretty much been wearing it since and am mildly obsessed with it. Isn’t it fierce and fab?! Yes, I just used the word fierce, that is how awesome I think this ring is. Anyhoo, check out their current pieces online, and I promise to keep you posted on when their new items become available. Thanks a million Vanessa! xoxo

Hope you all had a lovely weekend, despite the rain and wind! xoxo

Inspired By: The Glamourai

Lanvin, spring 2010

Kelly’s DIY take on the lovely shoe/ankle jewels.

The other day I was perusing my favorite fashion blogs and came across this photo on Kelly’s blog, The Glamourai, and was instantly taken with the idea. (Read her original post here!) I love the ones she created on her own, shown above, and have to admit, I loved her look so much, that I went out and bought similar tights and gathered some chains to make my own version of this cool trend. I guess imitation is flattery at its finest, right?

Stay tuned to see what I come up with!

Thanks Kelly!

xoxo
