Hello, Sunshine

I never realized how lucky I am to enjoy the Los Angeles weather every day until Jessica and Jess came to visit.  While we were shopping the day away in sunny California, their hometown in Ohio was dealing with a blizzard.  I loved that the weather was perfect last week because we had the chance to meet with Erica of Sweets and Hearts, another Flock Together member.  I feel like we all have a special bond and it's even better when the opportunity to meet in person is real.  We had a great lunch at the Grove in Hollywood and then shopped the second hand stores on Melrose.  Of course we had to pull over on a random street to take some outfit photos with Jessica's amazing new camera :)

Endearingly Yours

Another day, another great swap from a Flock Together gal.  This time around I had the chance to style a deer printed dress from Erica of Sweets and Hearts.  If it's printed with some type of animal, I'm interested.  I seriously could not tell you where the attraction lies but I long for a closet full of cute creatures printed on even cuter dresses.  Thankfully, Erica is just a short drive away from me so borrowing this gem again is most likely in my future.

Inspiration: Flock Together Edition

It's probably no surprise that most of my inspiration comes from other bloggers.  I love finding ways to freshen up my wardrobe, learn great makeup tips, and discover some new yummy recipes.  I can't help but focus on my lovely Flock Together ladies because I think they're all pretty fantastic in their own ways.  Here is just a few of the many things about them that inspire me ♥


Hannah's flower crowns

How cute is this flower crown?  Hannah of Braided Bandit makes them herself and I've been dying for one of my own!  I'm not so secretly hoping she starts selling them in her store ;)



Jenna's heart print tights

If you missed Jenna of Smitten's Heart Month feature in February, I suggest you take a look.  Not only did she have cute inspired outfits, but she also shared her amazing story about her personal connection to Heart Month.  I immediately feel in love with these tights.  They are the cutest!



Katherine's Book of Deer dress

Okay, so she may not be in Flock Together anymore, but she's an original member and will always be one to me.  While I would love nothing more than to live out of Katherine of Of Corgis and Cocktails' closet, this dress has a special place in my heart.  It looks absolutely amazing on her!  I also love how she and Katie of Coeurs de Foxes did a shared post together.  From the US to Poland, they both have wonderful style :)



Jessi's gorgeous hair

I can't help it, I totally have hair envy!  Jessi of Haircut and General Attitude has such beautiful hair.  I really love it when she wears it straight, which is weird because I hate wearing mine straight.  She knows how to wear it perfectly!



Jessica's "rehabbing" skills

Jessica of Midwest Muse has quite a closet filled with vintage and thrifted finds.  But what she does best is reworking these finds to make them fabulous.  Can you believe this dress was once floor length?  I wish I had the eye for a diamond piece in the rough.

I'm so happy to know such wonderful girls!  What bloggers inspire you?

Flower Child

So I'm going to step outside of the box for a minute.  If you know me, you will probably say I'm not a free spirited flower child.  It's true!  I tend to be uptight, incredibly organized, and aware of everyone and everything around me.  I have a life full of rituals and routines and I couldn't imagine myself any other way.  People may see it as weird and even a little exhausting but I'm completely happy that way.  That being said, it's nice to put that away for a few minutes and do something unplanned.

Spring Dress Wishlist

Now that spring is in full effect, I can officially proclaim it dress season!  Okay, so maybe I wear dresses every season, but I love wearing floral prints and pastel colors during the spring months.  Lulu's has some wonderful dresses perfect for this season and here are my top picks:

Mint strapless dress

I seriously don't want mint to go away!  I love the floral detail on the top and the tulle bottom.  This is a great piece to dress up or down and that cute sparkly belt is included :).  
Floral wrap dress

I think wrap dresses look amazing on women of all shapes and sizes.  The print of this particular dress is gorgeous and a statement piece on its own.  
Polka dot frock

This fit and flare dress is a great staple with a timeless print.  I would love to pair this with some colorful accessories and an over the top flower crown!
