Here’s a little peek at the teasing that’s involved for this giant-bun.
Tag: NWA
NWA = Northwest Arkansas
For me, specifically, Fayetteville
Fayetteville is literally overflowing with wonderful local businesses. It’s very possible to be a “locavore” in this town of 70K.

What I Wore: Birthday Suite
what I wore: dress – $10 rack vintage via grey dog, heels – kelsi dagger, earrings – vintage
–
Yesterday was my birthday and I thought this peplum dress in a minty teal was perfect for a day at the office where I still wanted to feel special.
What I Wore: The Green Gene
what I wore: dress – vintage via grey dog, earrings – vintage, ear cuff – the icing, platforms – FRH, rings – vintage via mae’s
–
This is one of the first dresses I bought from Grey Dog and it’s still a favorite. I typically wear it on St. Patty’s but also like to bring it out other times. Wearing green makes me feel lucky for some reason. The (gigantic) hair was a bit of an accident. I put leave-in conditioner on dry hair and put it up before I went to sleep. When I took it down this in the morning, I put it in hot rollers.
What I Wore: Bare Bones
what I wore: top – target, pants – paulnkc via maude boutique, heels – bakers, earrings – forever21, ear cuff – claire’s
–
While I’m definitely not a minimalist when it comes to dressing, sometimes less really is more. My favorite way to do “bare bones” is definitely in black.
What I Wore: White Collar
what I wore: pants – paulnkc via maude boutique, top – banana republic, collar necklace – urban outfitters, heels – qupid
–
Hallelujah! I’ve been looking for pants like these for years. It’s difficult to find both high waist & wide leg in an affordable trouser. Maude Boutique in Fayetteville has done a great job with these and I can see myself wearing them way too often.
The Best Skirt/Dress
what I wore (previously): skirt – esque, belt/blouse – vintage via cheap thrills, earrings – charm & chain, ring/bangle – mom’s, bangle – house of harlow, sandals – lovely people, necklaces – vintage via mae’s
–
There is a lovely local designer in NWA called Leslie Pennel, her line is esque. I was lucky enough to pick up the above (what I thought was a) skirt from her line at Cheap Thrills.
I loved it as a skirt and while I am typically good at seeing the many ways one item can be worn, it was lost on me. The designer was nice enough to enlighten me to it’s many uses, which I utilized at the beach. If nothing else, it’s a reminder that we can wear the things in our closets in so many different ways.
what I wore: dress – esque by leslie pennel via cheap thrills, belt – vintage, arm party – mae’s/vintage/dannijo
What I Wore: Blue Jean Baby
what I wore: jeans – levi via grey dog, blouse – vintage, heels – bcbg, bracelet – mae’s, earrings – mom’s
–
I found these amazing vintage levi’s last week at Grey Dog. I’m so excited about them because they’re the perfect length and rise. Also picked up the gorgeous silver bracelet at Mae’s – a local favorite.

From the Weekend
Beaver Lake
Long weekends are always wonderful. We went to the lake, out to dinner, to the pool and farmer’s market. It finally feels like summer!
