Aloha Spirit

All these fair weather teases are making me want to just drop everything and jet off to my favorite place in the world: Hawaii - any/all of the perfect islands would suffice. So clearly this was an inspired post.

Since I don't have the means nor do I really deserve to go on the worthwhile ten hour journey to paradise, I can at least wear it!

Allergies, Pastels, and Metallics

I have a lot of the former; I am surrounded by a blurry haze of sniffles and itchy throat (see daisy-printed sweater). I should really also be a spokeswoman for Asos, Nastygal, Madewell and Ray Ban. Or at least get free goodies from them - it's about time I was rewarded like all the other big bloggers right? Come on, I have allergies!

In addition to allergies, pastels and metallics are also on my Spring Radar. Check 'em:

Wildfox Couture loose knit sweater / Highwaist shorts / Madewell lingerie bra / ASOS lining shoes / French Connection handbag / DANNIJO heart jewelry / Marc by Marc Jacobs / Ray-Ban ray ban eyewear / Madewell felt fedora hat / Madewell sunglasses / Cat eye sunglasses / Essie 2013 Spring Collection Mini Set

More New New....

I scored some things on a recent trip to New York (thanks Grandma!). I also received the shoes I ordered online a couple of weeks ago. Zara screwed up my order and sent awesome black velvet slippers with gold bows instead of skulls, and they will not be sent back!

This Parker jacket is a new go-to in my closet. It's got all the best elements of moto, Chanel tweed, and biker styles. Great over a t-shirt, tank, or button-up (like the top below)

Zara slippers, Instagrammed "#loaferswag"

Top by Guess, necklace by Forever 21, bandeau bra by Brandy Melville

Brittney Houndstooth Denim Leggings by Guess. I love the subtle houndstooth print, and they go well with the top and jacket.
