My Inner Ballerina

1. 2. 3. 4. 

Anyone that knows me knows I am the girliest girl. Bring on the sparkles, pink, glitter, and especially tulle. I'm guessing my mom first got me into dance class all of those years ago with the promise of multiple tutus. So, of course I have been drooling lately as I've seen some of my favorite bloggers break out the tulle skirts for every day life, when most people keep that in the dance studio. Actually, ever since anthropologie released it's infamous and VERY coveted white tulle skirt last season (with a similar one out this season), I've been drooling. It's good to know the trend hasn't faded because I am SO on board.

And now to just find the perfect one for myself (**cough cough Santa), well and somewhere to wear it of course......

Spring is FINALLY here in NYC this week, and with that comes my renewed shopping obsession. With a new season just comes this feeling that I need all new and pretty things! I will be trying not to indulge in these feelings so instead I do a lot of browsing. Lately, I've been obsessing over accessories... specifically shoes and sunglasses. 

I've never been a huge sunglasses fan but, alas things change. Above are the ones I have my eyes on lately. What do you think...any favorites? What are you loving this spring season?

Shiny Ponies

So, lets talk shoes. 

I've always liked shoes, but they're just never something I've invested in in the past. Lately though, something in me has changed. ALL I WANT ARE SHOES. For some reason everywhere I look I just find the most beautiful shoes. Flats, heels, wedges, boots...you name it, I want it. I have a running list.

Every season J.Crew undoubtedly produces some of the most beautiful ones. I'm constantly perusing their website and stores wishing I had enough pennies in the bank. Alas, I never do (one day?!). I also stumbled upon this video interview with Jenna Lyons (one of my number one girl crushes in life) where she talks about J.Crew shoes, and how when they turn out perfect, they call them "Shiny Ponies". Kind of perfect. 

Her shoe collection is where dreams are made of. Can someone please get me those floral/sparkle business-in-the-front-party-in-the-back heels? Woah.

Anyway, here are some current ones I'd love to add to my closet at the moment (I could barely choose!).

1. JANEY METALLIC FLATS
2. COLORBLOCK T-STRAP BALLET FLATS
3. DARBY PRINTED LOAFERS
4. ETTA SATIN CAP TOE PUMPS
5. COLLECTION CONTESSA SNAKESKIN-BOW PUMPS

Wedding Fever

Why I torture myself, I do not know. For some reason, now that I am single, I have serious wedding fever. Though I know I'm being dramatic, I feel like everywhere I look there are engagements and weddings happening! And to top off my misery, anything to do with weddings is always gorgeous, so I am immediately drawn to it. Such as Anthropologie's new wedding line, BHLDN, that just launched this week. Just take a look at some of this from their website and you will understand what I'm saying:

Happy Friday!

Phew, It's Friday!

Work has been ridiculously crazy the last few days so I haven't gotten a chance to think of any exciting posts. My week has basically consisted of microwaving something frozen for dinner when I get home, collapsing on the couch, and steering clear of both the phone and computer for the rest of the night. This has been the only way to preserve my sanity. That, plus a little crafting I've been working on *winkwink*.

So for this Friday afternoon I'm simply going to share some of my favorite images that I've posted on my tumblr this week. 

Hello giant-pink-bow-headband. Love.

 I need to repeat this out loud everyday apparently. 

The Fray anyone?

 I want this necklace. This picture is just beyond gorgeous. 

I want to feel like these two again. 

 Perfectly lovely work area I'm going to need to imitate. 

 One day soon I hope. 

 RINGS. 

 I should hang this on my wall. 

Loving the colors. 

So what are everyone's big weekend plans? This weekend is shaping up to be a pretty mellow, boring one I'm thinking. It will probably revolve around finishing up some crafting, fiddling around with the blog some more, organizing the apartment, and trying out this weeks purchase (I'll fill ya in next week). 

Here's to hoping your weekend is more exciting then mine!
