Fashion Icon

You may remember Louise Roe who made a couple appearances on The City. She was the fresh English fashion journalist that competed with Olivia Palermo. 

You may have also seen her hosting for BBC's, the Clothes Show, E!'s Fashion Police and Perfect Catch and on the CW in Plain Jane. 

I love her colorful, bohemian chic style! Definitely a summer inspiration! She's so flawless and genuine. Perfect Fashion Icon!!

And she rocked these amazing platforms!!

Friday's Fancies Easter Style!

I was invited by {AV} Long Distance Loving} to participate in the Friday's Fancies Series and I got super excited because you know how I love to style my outfits on here! The series gives you a chance to dream beyond what's actually in your wallet and you have the freedom to put together your own personal and extravagant attire! How could I not participate in that?! If you want to participate as well, head on over to Long Distance Loving and link up!!

So since it's Easter weekend, I decided like many others, to create my Sunday Easter attire. My main accessory you ask? Well my Easter basket carrying that adorable little bunny, of course! So once you've oooed and aaahed over that, you'll catch my beautiful white and nude crossover draped dress. I have chosen that mint, lavender and fuchsia entwined necklace for an extra nudge of pizzaz and paired them with fuchsia gem dangles. The turquoise stoned ring (wish it was a bracelet too!) is gorgeous and brings more of the mint color back into your outfit for more contrast.  Luxe leather sandals with jingling gold charms make your feet look shmancy as you strut around picking up easter eggs. And last but not least, your simple, chic clutch to hold all those dollar bills you get in your eggs! (and a little candy too) 

Oh how marvelous I will feel in my Easter Sunday attire!!

Let's just go ahead and say that I'm very inspired by this Easter week and will continue to post bunnies, eggs, lambs, chics and all things pastel and colorful the remainder of the week and weekend!!

My sister and bro-in-law are moving back home TOMORROW and I'm all sorts of giddy! Maybe it's because I get to share in the joys of fingering through our easter baskets together! (Yes we will continue this delightul childhood tradition this year..and every year after ;)

Hippity Hoppity Easter's on it's waaaay!!

What do you have planned for the upcoming holiday?

Easter Dresses

This photo was taken in the 60's and I almost wish I could travel back in time so I could get all frilly and make a major statement with a big flower covered hat! (I would most likely dress like the first lady in the peach!) Ladies rocked gloves, flipped-out hairdos and even light stockings in warm, spring days. I thought it was especially fitting for an Easter Sunday dress code.

Do you reminisce over your mothers dresses and outfits back in the day?

I have to say I am drawn to a lot of similar styles my mom strutted around in! Even the same colors! Must be in the genes ;)

Saw this vintage hat at a boutique and had to snap a pic!!

The source of the matter

 

The reason we get to eat, decorate and hide all of these beautiful eggs is because of where it came from!

Or are you on the other side of the argument?

Which came first? The Chicken or the Egg??

Let's get to the source of the matter!

I loved the first print but could not understand the german to english translation. I used a translator tool and "Neuweider Hefte" translates to "again attaches."

Can anyone help this little lost chic...?

How do you like your eggs?

It's time to start preparing for Easter Egg decorating, painting, hunting and of course bunny and chic decor! The week before Easter is always filled with pastels, chocolates and of course those yummy, rich Cadbury eggs!!

How do you like to decorate your eggs?
