Let’s go camping!

I wouldn’t call myself a camping enthusiast. But, I do have a healthy relationship with the great outdoors. I can hit up an air conditioned cabin with the best of them! Seriously though, I love music festivals and floating. It’s not something I want to do every day but I do want to look good every time I do it.

Crazy Love

I’m OBSESSED with this editorial. Especially the first photo which seems to scream Romeo & Juliet in a modern/princess/fashion way. Such high spirits in these photos! Doesn’t everyone deserve to be as happy as this?

My Outfit + Go-To Hair

Dress: Vintage, Sweater: BCBG, Pumps: Jessica Simpson, Sunglasses: Forever 21, Earrings: White’s Jewelry

Lately I have been totally into the high bun. It has always intimidated me a bit because I don’t like to rat my hair. But once I figured out how to do it, I can’t stop! It’s so easy and it can prolong a hair wash for 2-3 days! It also turns any outfit from humdrum to posh. The best tutorial I’ve found is from Beth Jones (here). Do you like these outfit posts or are they annoying?

Style Inspiration (Cheryl Ladd in Charlie’s Angels)

I recently found myself watching a Charlie’s Angels (the original) episode. I was shocked by the bad acting and the amazing fashion! Mostly the fashion.Raz I was particularly impressed by Cheryl Ladd. I want to recreate every single outfit of hers. I’m slightly obsessed. The 70s fashion is totally applicable to today. Don’t you think? My favorite things: her oversized sunglasses, her hair and her high-waisted pants.

Emily of Cupcakes & Cashmere – House Tour

Emilyschuman_image_002_rect640

If you haven’t heard of Cupcakes and Cashmere, you’re behind. Emily Schuman has developed a lovely blog with a religious following where she showcases outfits, recipes and shopping lists. She and her fiance moved into a new house and Apartment Therapy photographed it for our enjoyment. I like her style and decor choices, although they may not be exactly my taste, she has great ideas. See the full post (including where she purchased most everything) here.

Would You Wear? {Turbans}

Women of the western world have been dabbling in turban-wear for quite a while. But, if you’re acquainted with the Man Repeller, you know that turbans are not one of the most attractive things you can wear (according to men…but who cares!). However, it is easy, fashionable and a fabulous way to disguise unwashed hair. Personally I love it but have not tried it. For some reason, I feel like it looks better with a tan (doesn’t everything?). PS – I discovered airbrush spray tanning. Life changer. I digress. What do you think of turbans? My final thought is that it takes a chic person to make the turban look chic.
