Wore this little number the other day running errands - this Larmoni dress is absolutely darling and I'm completely smitten with berets lately! Larmoni has so many gorgeous dresses - I also love this one!

TOP: Charlotte Russe (super old, super on sale) SKIRT: c/o Pixie Market PURSE: c/o Pepa Loves SUNGLASSES: c/o Her Tiny Teeth

Spring is here, and I cannot be more excited! I'm so ready to crack out the shorts and skirts (without tights, of course), lipgloss, and frozen desserts. I decided to wear my new gingham skirt from Pixie Market with a straw bag with a CAT FACE ON IT (!) from Pepa Loves for an outfit that felt very quintessentially Spring!

DRESS: c/o Oh My Love London HAT: Modcloth SOCKS: AA SHOES: Missguided
I may or many not be guilty of owning a couple black dresses with white collars - but the moment I saw this Oh My Love London dress I knew I needed it. The perfect fit and flare cut, lace detailing on the collar, and gorgeous velvet fabric made it standout - and it's my new favorite little black dress in my wardrobe!

For the styling, I paired my new leopard print beret (a sale find at Modcloth) and my trusty American Apparel over the knee socks. I felt very Cher Horowitz from Clueless in this - which is always good! <3

Happy Friday!

DRESS: c/o Le Bomb Shop SHOES: c/o T.U.K Footwear GLOVES: Vintage
Ahh how gorgeous is this Le Bomb Shop dress? The fit and flare silhouette is very 50s, calling to mind Audrey Hepburn's infamous black and white dress in Sabrina, and the striped pattern immediately reminds me of Retro Barbie...! Le Bomb Shop is kind enough to offer 10% off all orders over $50 with code MERMAIDENS - the code expires on 03/05 at midnight!

My wardrobe are almost primarily made up of mini dresses, but I am absolutely how this hits just past the knee on me, and paired with heels it looks even more amazing!

Speaking of shoes, I paired this dress with these T.U.K Footwear heels with little kitty faces - I'm smitten!

DRESS:
Samantha Pleet x Urban Outfitters c/o of Pleet

Earlier this month, Samantha Pleet released her exclusive collection for Urban Outfitters. As usual, I was completely smitten with Pleet's designs - using prints seeped in allegorical references, her signature silhouettes, and casting her equally talented and beautiful friends to make the pieces come to life in a video that could only be described as a dream come true - this collection makes my heart sing!

Samantha was sweet enough to send me one of my favorite pieces from the line - the Scout Dress has a gorgeous leafy vine and oranges print. My favorite part of the dress would have to be the cut out, knotted detailing, however! It's unlike anything I have in my wardrobe, and so perfect for Spring!






Self Portrait: As Jean Shrimpton by Bert Stern

Saturday, March 21, 2015

In honor of Spring's arrival, I decided to recreate one of my all time favorite photos - Bert Stern's floral portrait of Jean Shrimpton has always stuck with me for it's sheer beauty.

I plan on doing more self portraits as some of my favorite 60s ladies! I really love taking self portraits - though I do sometimes wish I could just clone myself because it would be easier then running back and forth between the backdrop and the camera, flowers falling out of my hair as I go...!

Happy Spring!
