Flora & Fauna

Top: J. Crew

Skirt: LOFT

Headband: Nordstrom B.P.

Heels: Madden Girl via T.J. Maxx

Bag: Dooney & Bourke via my grandma

Necklace: Faux pearls via my mom

I wore this outfit to the annual Chi Omega Eleusenia Luncheon where we (the Chi Omegas from Oregon State) meet with the Chi Omegas from University of Oregon. Isn't their house beautiful?! I'm actually jealous. We have a nice house, but they have a fantastic house! The architecture is to die for. 

Hey, Jack Kerouac

When: March 22, 2011

What:

Jacket: J. Crew

Shirt: Merona for Target

Jeans: Levi's

Necklace: LOFT

Shoes: Sperry Topsider via Nordstrom

Bag: Dooney & Bourke via my grandmother 

Where: Hospital check up and to the hair salon

Why: Here are a few of my new purchases! I've been looking for a chambray shirt for awhile and I finally found a great one at Target for $19.99. Of course, when I looked online it was on sale for $14.99, but it sure beats the similar ones for $69.50 at j. crew. Also, I got this bag from my grandma! It's perfect because my camera fits in it. Thank you, Mo! (She reads my blog. :D) I love you! And I love you for reasons more than just sharing your excellent style with me. 

Also, I got my hair touched up! Russ, my hairdresser, is a pro at straightening hair, but my curls were a bit of a challenge when styling so I ended up with some crazy waves in these pictures.

The Only Girl in the World

 When: February 18, 2011


What: 
Dress: Anthropologie
Necklace: LOFT
Shoes: Nine West from Piperlime
Mask: Self made


Where: Chi Omega's Persephone's formal dance- masquerade theme


Why: I fell in love with this dress while shopping for my sister's birthday. I had to have it! I am obsessed with the neckline and the colors. Plus, the birds are adorable! Also, those shoes are amazing. So comfortable. Plus I'm 6'1" in them, what's not to like? This isn't necessarily my most formal outfit, it feels more like a garden party ensemble, but I was feeling it, so I wore it. 


I wasn't expecting much from this dance, but I actually had a great time! The best moment of the night was when Paul and I attempted to swing dance to Mambo #5. It was sooooo fun! I think we'll be taking swing lessons this summer.


Oh, and this is Paul. Isn't he a gem? If you're wondering, he's 6'5". What a sweetheart! 


Do you like his new suit? He's stylish as well. :D
