Spring Sprang Sprung

Spring is approaching and many things are running through my head. Overalls. Do I do them? Hair. Do I go shorter? Color palettes. Should I be bolder? Neon. Am I over it? Peplum. Am I over that even more? Do I have enough lipsticks? Flats. Or more heels? Can I please for the love of god be a hat person? Like a panama hat person.

After a long winter, I'm dying to put some pep in my step. I'm loving everything structured, unstructured, over sized, ruffled, over sized ruffles, lace. Denim all over.

Be right back, finding a ribbon for my hair.

Shoesday: They're back

Although, a little nicer than the Gap version from the 90's. Happy Shoesday!

Wearing: Dots

I came across this top at this cute little local boutique (kidding, it was Forever 21) and I thought it was too classic and sweet to pass up. It's a basic ivory button up with a nice shape and perfectly sized polka dots that don't scream at you. My favorite part of this outfit, though, is the eye wear. I'm super into the translucent trend: clear frames with semi-transparent lenses. Also super into the six dollar price tag at H&M (in stores now!) but you know I love anything that's six dollars. Anything.

So this is what I wore to the Madewell store opening (they have a Chicago location, hallelujah!). Thanks to Emma from Tres Awesome for also capturing my 'fit.

OH AND LOOK how short my hair is. Basically a bob.


Coat: Gap (old)
Blouse: Forever 21
Jeans: Urban Outfitters (similar)
Necklace: Forever 21
Flats: Old Navy (love these)
Sunglasses: H&M

Madewell opens on Rush

This could be trouble.

At 10am on Wednesday, Madewell will open its downtown location in the heart of the Gold Coast. I love this store for many reasons but most of all for its effortless pieces. Everything is so mix and match, that little thinking is involved. I can't wait for the opening party (who's going?!) on Tuesday night since it'll be my first fashion event in quite a while. Here are some of my must-haves once I step foot in that place (okay maybe not the 700 dollar leather jacket, but a girl can dream!).

Be sure to stop in this Wednesday, April 3rd, for your Madewell fix (932 N. Rush). They're going to be giving away 150 mystery gift cards (GIFT CARDS PEOPLE) from $10-$500.

Wanting: Tortoise

It's about that time for a refresher on my eye glasses. I just went glasses shopping with a friend and have realized how old my current pair is. Old and dated. Right now I wear Ray-Ban wayfarers and want to try something lighter-weight and in tortoise shell. I'm loving extreme tortoise shell and especially loving the 'clubmaster' look at the bottom. Any other (cheap) ideas?

And now here's the bad news. My home computer has crashed, well it's actually expanded somehow (you read that right) to the point of it resembling a marshmallow. A marshmallow that doesn't work. Has this ever happened to anyone? There was no water or physical damage done, it just decided to...bloat. Until I save up for a new Mac, the outfit posting will be slowing down a bit. So where are those violins?
