For The Love Of A Skirt

Posted on

I don’t always follow trends, but when it comes to the craze about midi/maxi skirts, I’ve fallen in love.

And I fell hard.

They are so absolutely flowy and feminine.

And they cover all the spots we want covered making them ultra flattering.

Here are some photos for inspiration…or just to make you drool.

Ridiculously pretty.

I LOVE this color and all the pleats.

So perfectly classic.

T-shirts & belted?! So easy and so pretty.

If it wasn’t weird, I would say gray is my favorite color.

The always amazing Lauren Conrad. Will someone convince her to be my friend?

So, now that I have passed the obsession on to you, go buy one.

And tell me where you found yours because these skirts are crazy elusive in stores.

Go figure.

Growing Up And The Importance Of Helmets

Posted on

Growing up astounds me. It seems as if you reach a point where you plateau. Where you mentally stay a certain age.

I am 31, but I still feel like I am 26. I look at my life and am completely floored that I have been married for almost 6 years and have 2 kids?! What the WHAT?! When did that happen? Why is life going so fast?!

And also, to confirm my adultness, I feel this great need to yell at kids, who are riding bikes, to wear a helmet. Don’t they know how important their little brains are?!

Yep, I’m a full-blown, rule-screaming grown up.

Ugh.

And please excuse the wrinkled skirt. I guess I’m not a full-blown ironing grown-up. 😉

Happy Birthday, Bloggy Blog Giveaway!

It’s been one year since I started doing Fashion Friday.

It’s crazy to me that a year has gone by already. That it’s been a year since I decided to actually use my photography blog (which has now been co-opted by some Polish hackers…grrrr) since it was being paid for and not used. I was already taking pictures of my outfits, so I figured I would share it with the little corner of the internet that cared to stop by.

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would be posting at least three times a week and that I would have as many followers as I do.

My beautiful friend Myste has an magical way with a crochet hook and yarn and makes the cutest/coolest little items. Both of my boys are lucky enough to have a blanket from her.

She sent me this headband and I am in love. It’s crazy how just covering your ears can keep you so warm.

To help me celebrate, Myste has generously agreed to a giveaway. One lucky winner will win a $10 credit to her etsy shop, French Fabrications.
