GIRL PARTY PICNIC

13096816524_5bbcabbc79_bHere they are, the picnic pics! I’m extremely happy with how these turned out, we couldn’t have asked for better weather and the sun and shade were perfect for photo snapping. Everyone pitched in flowers, snacks, drinks and blankets to make the perfect hillside picnic area with DIY flower crown making. Some ladies brought their dogs and one sweet girl made a flower crown for her furry friend. Take a look at our Saturday afternoon by the Grant Park pond!-

13096575593_f45776404c_bThese were the components to my crown. I learned from a few ladies that had made some really kick ass ones that it’s best to make little bundles-almost like boutonnieres-and then put it together on the crown structure. I liked this method a lot with using real flowers.

Anthro boots, Clothing Warehouse shades, Madewell necklace and a vintage charm bracelet I picked up at a clothing swap.

Like I said on many social media outlets, this day cannot be beat! Well, unless we just recreated it entirely and I’m so down for that (hint hint Allie!) It was nice chatting with old friends, making new ones and getting crafty. I’ve noticed at these types of events where there’s a craft along with party I usually get distracted for the first hour or so I’m there and then get going on the craft. My Vino and Vajayjayz group is making dream catchers on Tuesday along with the usual food and vino and while I know I’ll get distracted by wine and friends I hope to come home with a new one to put by my bed!

Flashy and the Fox

visited EAV for a block party and artist market this past weekend with my man and some friends. while we were in the neighborhood we stopped by the village’s newest restaurant and bar, Argosy, which is BEAUTIFUL and pretty darn roomy. aaaand of course we had to stop and snap some photos by the larger than life FOX on the side of Argosy’s building!

my outfit is made of a few new pieces but mostly throwback to college and believe it or not HIGH SCHOOL days! back when I’d go into Georgetown, DC to do some shopping I’d stop by the Wetseal there as it was a “trend setter location” and had pieces other locations didn’t. this is where I got my hoodie and handbag, both are still going strong! I’d be willing to bet I’m not the only lady still holding onto inexpensive clothing items that still “work” in current times, though I’ve been on a purging kick and have gotten rid of so much stuff.

happy mid-week!

it is very difficult to continue to grow your hair out when you see Chloe looking extremely adorable with this banged bob…been gawking at this lookbook for days and had to share. 
two of my favorite pieces are the two-toned blazer and the blazer tank sheer dress, yum yum

you can usually find me sporting a dress but i am and always have been a tomboy at heart so this line definitely catches my attention. aside from always wearing a dress, i usually can be found with a blazer of various shapes and materials-cannot have enough in my closet! (so it seems…)
