One for the Road

It's feeling like summertime in the Lou! I think I brought the sun back from Puerto Rico with me. I spent this beautiful Tuesday afternoon on the deck drinking beers and my heart is very happy.

Tuesday's gone with the wind...... the only thing that makes this afternoon better is Skynard on the radio. I am a huge southern rock fan.. Lynard Skynard and Creedence are my favorites.

Simple Sunday

This sunday all I care about is watching the Oscar red carpet

I normally spend the weekend before the Oscars watching every best picture nom but only was able to watch The Imitation game, Boyhood, and Birdman. My favorite was Imitation game by far. I loved that movie.

Here is my casual cool look for this Oscar sunday, hope you enjoy!

 These jeans are awesome. They are super stretchy so I feel like i'm wearing leggings all day. They also come in a light denim color- perfect for spring!

Get them here!

This chambray is vintage and I found it at LF Stores. If you live on the west coast check out LF Robertson (S/O to my old workplace) they have an insane sale going on now 60% off or more on everything... even this chambray.

Denim Mini

Trend Alert: Denim Mini

Throwback to the days where I walked around in a denim mini and pink polo shirt with the collar popped (haha) Denim Mini's are back and better than ever. This one is One Teaspoon - if you don't know One Teaspoon you need to look it up ASAP. They have the best on trend denim. You can get One Teaspoon online here - if your local to St. Louis and want to try on a pair I would recommend stopping by Blush Boutique in Kirkwood or Splash in Ladue. My favorites are the Bandit shorts, Trashed Freebirds, and the Junkyard Denim mini. Here is how I styled mine hope you enjoy!

Leopard Mini

How to style a leopard mini - and not look like you're going to the club

So I guess I'm in the "real world" now and it's not acceptable to show up in a leopard mini everywhere I go. Here's how I style mine.

Blogging is fun!

Statement Bag

Make a statement

Fringe is my favorite... I think I own about 5 fringe bags but this bag is the latest addition to my closet. It's super affordable and available for purchase at Topshop. It's so good I bought it in basic black and snakeskin! I bought this bag at Topshop in Los Angeles but if your local to St. Louis I just spotted the bag at Nordstrom at the Galleria. I can't wait to wear this bag all spring and summer, it makes every outfit fun and trendy. 

The best heeled bootie I've been wearing all winter to everywhere from Bars in Los Angeles to watching some St. Louis Blues Hockey

I LOVE these jeans they are super stretchy and flattering (and Beyonce has them duh)
