a new friend

a few weeks ago i was browsing at nordstrom and i saw this pair of pretties. they finally popped up online so  i just had to share with you:

i just love the bright cobalt color. they are definitely wishlisted for a purchase soon. (oh and for those who aren't wanting such a bold statement, they also come in black leather or black suede with a fuschia platform.)

shopping with mom

on sunday, i had a delightful shopping afternoon with my mother. because we don't live in the same city, i rarely get the chance go shopping with her. beyond that, my hometown doesn't have an anthropologie - so it was really a special treat to go there together and find some fun looks for her (instead of me). here's what she ended up with:

for a lady who loves navy, it was fun to see her in more colors and a variety of feminine styles. i am also super jealous that she got the backswept dress and might get it myself!

i can't wait to see how she pairs the pieces. afterall, like most of you, my style is definitely from my mother's influence.

a foxy tale

i have quite the story for you. it begins with a blog post by kendi from last fall. you know i cannot resist a charming animal print and this fox was no exception. kendi paired it perfectly for work too!

with the blouse sold out on francesca's, i scoured online and throughout the months, modcloth had a variety of options:

i missed out on the tunic, and the others didn't quite fit me/and or sold out before i got a chance to purchase (see my post from last september).

i had moved this beloved print to the "one's that got away" file. until now...
forever21 came to my rescue last week with their a-line fox tank.
same adorable print. perfectly easy to wear tank silhouette.

 

i ordered the medium and it fit perfectly. happy ending to my tale.
i love when that happens. don't you? have a great wednesday. off to my hair appointment!
