Print + Color

Cinco de Mayo is such a festive holiday- it makes me want to wear and see bright colors everywhere!

I hope you have a wonderfully festive Cinco de Mayo full of pops of color and popped Corona and Patron bottles. I'm personally a Pacifico gal- but whatever floats your boat!

Cheers!

Lets Get this Started

With Cinco de Mayo tomorrow I kind of feel like today is Thursday, and I'm soooo ready to get my "weekend" started! With Cinco de Mayo tomorrow, the Yelle show Friday, and a birthday celebration Saturday, I am in high spirits and that can mean many things, but today it happens to mean I'm in the mood for bright colors and disco undertones. Luckily I came across this fun editorial photographed by Jeff Tse appropriately entitled "Disco":

Loving these lyrics- feel like it totally fits my life right now- embracing change in a positive way:

Let's make this happen, girl you gonna show the world that something good can work and it can work for you.
And you know that it will.
Let's get this started girl, we're moving up we're moving up It's been a lot to change but you will always get what you want.
Took a little time to make it a little better,
it's only going out, just one thing and another,
you know!

Happy Hump Day (or quasi-Thursday if you're on my "weekend" plan)!

The Girl Can't Help It

Marie Claire Australia totally just tapped into what I've been envisioning for my attire as of late- ladylike sass. Big hair, big makeup, delicate lace, tasteful sheer, all the while mixed in with bold prints and a fun yet ladylike demeanor attached!!?!! It's just marvelous!

I have been on the move all day at work today- hope you are having an equally exciting day!

Make Some Noise

The Beastie Boys are BACK, and I for one am loving it! Definitely takes me back to car rides with my friends older siblings when I was in middle school. Check out their start-studded video for the first track off their latest album released today:

Ra Ra for Rachel Roy

I did a bit of shopping over the weekend and am always drawn to Rachel Roy's designs. Her dresses are so fun but somehow manage to be long lasting versus a piece just for this season.

I ended up purchasing that last dress and I can't WAIT for the perfect event to wear it. The back of the dress is very coy with a sheer strip down the center of the entire back:


Love. It. Period.

Get Up!

I'm afraid to put this out into the universe for fear it will all come crashing down on me, but here it goes: it might be Spring weather finally. For me this means it's time to buy new sandals, break out my array of spring coats, and buy a bistro table for the balcony so I can eat outside every chance I get. OH- and lets not forget its time to discover new cheery music to blast while walking to work or while lounging on Lake Michigan on the weekends!

Enter Jonquil's "Get Up":




Now lets hope I didn't just jinx it...
