i love J. Mendel

I seriously think if I were to ever be famous or rich enough to afford any of these I would only wear J. Mendel. I don't think anyone could make a more feminine gorgeous dress. His use of draping, chiffon, and the silhouettes are just beautiful. I love what he said about his Spring 2010 Ready-to-Wear collection - "What is my message for Spring?" mused Gilles Mendel in the crowded confines of the Lehmann Maupin Gallery, where his models stood about, giving everyone time for a close inspection. "Specialness, preciousness, and value—with a little something to make you dream."

Now all I can do now is swoooooon ;)

So effing cute!!

I saw this a long time ago, I think on Design Sponge, and I just thought about it again today as I revamped the blog. Don't know what made me think of it but I love it so much. What a great idea!

Crazy hair - having fashion balls

Not gonna lie. I love it when I see fashion shows or photo shoots and they have made the models have the most insane hair. It's tempting. But I do not have the fashion balls to pull it off. Nope. The worst I have done is not washed my hair for two days and left the house  with my hair in a bun and pulled back with a wide headband, maybe I'll even throw in a feather or something to deter you from noticing it's grossness. 

 

  

I love the look of this shoot, the clothing, the accessories, the insane hair. 

Also found on simple blueprint.

So I found a new great blog! yay! It's simple blueprint and just from a few of her posts I was able to tell its a new favorite.

Unfortunately the blogger Joanna, post of one of her past vacations that has me sooooo jealous!!

Don't you just love these ceramic cupcake liners?? Kinda pricey but just too cute

MadeByGirl

Absolutely LOVE these prints!! I think these will have to be part of the decor of our apartment. How cute would these two prints be next to one another reading "hello love". I love how simple the design is as well, just almost wish they came in other fun colors.

and this one is just great too..

party dressss

So since my birthday is coming up I think it is only fair I buy myself a nice dress. My birthday party will require an outfit since bowling in a dress is probably not the most appropriate, but for the day before Valentine's Day dinner I will need a dress. So here are my choices (I have not tried them on yet but they can't be too bad!) from Anthropologie, of course. I think I am going to get the All Seasons Shirtdress anyways cause its not a bad price. The Rushing Ruffles Dress is really standing out to me right now in terms of comfort, but it since its only one color it is a bit boring to me. It has looked amazing on every customer I have seen try it on, but I'm wondering if the dreaded love handles would peek out. The Tassel Fonda Dress is amazing. Looks so great on the hanger but for some reason I haven't seen anyone try it on. It's really the style I am wanting my wardrobe to be like. And lastly, the Snow Covered Fields Dress is also very nice, I love the print, the shape, but I think I might be over the skirt top sewn together thing. Anyway decisions decisions...

#2

So Shane and I are still settling in to the new place. Just two boxes of stuff we don't know where it should go. But we still need about 2 (ha!) pieces of furniture that I think would help these issues.
On to the point of this post! I have decided that Shane and I are going to start collecting random stuff with the number 2 on it. You know since there's 2 of us and we now live in apt. 2! :)
I love it. I think it will be such a great design point for the apartment. We have been talking about how we need to decorate anyways..
anyway here are a few I just found, the first from Anthropologie, and the rest from Etsy.
