It's Official: Lily of the garden.

The name of the dress I wore to graduation is called "Lily of the Garden" which obviously meant I had to get it. Very rarely do people usually spell my name with one "L" so it seemed extra fateful. All in all I think graduation went very smoothly. Nobody tripped or went streaking and as far as I'm concerned, I'm free as a bird!!!

My mom an I did a shoe swap... aren't her Cole Haan's absolutely fabulous?

No better way to celebrate than with tequila 

and an enormous bowl of guac. Am I right?

Class of 2013... WE DID IT!!

It's Official: Sunday uniform.

I have never really been a very good sleeper but I love pajamas. Don't get me wrong, I would sleep in Chanel if I could but there is something to be said about those soft, baggy fabrics... Which leads me to my newest obsession: Jane & Bleecker. I haven't felt something so soft and comfortable in years!

Seriously, the fabric gives the word

soft a whole new meaning!

It's Official: Endless summer vacation.

Now that I am a college graduate (!!!! boy, are you going to get sick of reading that) I like to think I am embarking on an endless summer vacation. I think the best/only way to carry out that mindset is to dress like it, too. So, I'm all about fun and funky colors and combinations. Kendra Scott jewelry is absolutely a must. A pair of Del Toro shoes wouldn't hurt either.

How are you welcoming summer?

It's Official: Hair-raising

I am officially done with college. The best word to describe the way I'm feeling is hair-raising. Don't get me wrong, it's great, but more than that it's completely terrifying and exceptionally weird. Either way, stay tuned for a lot of pictures from this coming weekend as there will be plenty to celebrate and more than enough outfit potential! Also, wish me luck in the real world...

I wish I would have seen this for Mother's Day!

Such a great idea!!

It's Official: Loren Hope.

I am a huge jewelry girl- I feel naked without it. One of my newest favorites brands is Loren Hope. As the weather warms out these bright and fun collections will be perfect in the sun. All of the pieces are large so they will undoubtedly make a huge statement with a plain white teeshirt but I love that the pictures from the lookbook recognize that they can also be worn in conjunction with bright, funky outfits.

I like it, I like it a lot.

It's Official: Party like Gatsby, look like Daisy.

Although The Great Gatsby is my second favorite F. Scott Fitzgerald book (The Beautiful and Damned is my first!) I was very excited for the hype of the movie over the weekend. I like Fitzgerald because he's also from Minnesota but I especially like him because he's given us all another reason to dress up and throw a grand party!

We even had a Gatsby ice luge! How about that?

I will admit it took me a very long time to put my outfit together! I underestimated 

how hard it would be. I wanted to buy it but figured a Great Gatsby DIY was in order.

In the end I found a simple vintage slip dress and made my own headband by pinning together

2 feet of sequenced trim and a $4.99 feather clip (both from Joann Fabric's).

Did you see The Great Gatsby?

Did you dress up?
