DRUNK ON ELIZABETH SHOWERS - SILVER DETAILS



2 COMMENTS

Hi guys!  I busted out my leather shorts again!  I wanted to show you all how you can take leather shorts and dress them down, or dress them up like I did here.  Okay that's a lie.  This was just all coincidence that I wore them and am posting this outfit right right after the other one.  Sigh, it's really hard for me to lie to you guys.  

Anyhoozah... I am still trying to recover from a jam packed weekend.  Summer hours has finally started for my department which means I get pretty much every other Friday off.  YEAAAAAAAAAH!!  Bring on AAALLL the jealous-ness!  Friday was spent biking around and running errands.  It felt so good to catch up on some of the things I've been meaning to do but haven't had the time to.  Then it was off to a fun night with some super fun out of town peeps.

Saturday, I ventured into suburbia (gasp) to have brunch at e+o with another fun group and got to taste so many nom nom nommies thanks to Aeron!  The spam fried rice and the kale salad and the "it's like that" roll... hash tag drooooooooool.  Saturday ended with the hubster and me running our first 5K!  It was the LivingSocial Glow Run Dance Party which was friggin' fuuuuuuuuuun!  And yes, it's because after the finish line, there is a huge dance party IN the Soldier Field stadium.  Give me wine and a dance party at the end and I'll run ANY 5K.  

Sunday was Anita Day.  One of my besties went and eloped!  But that won't stop me from throwing her a special girly day that was all about her... hence, Anita Day.  Man, reliving the weekend like this got me all tired.  It was all so fun and worth it though.  One of my best weekends for sure.  If you follow me on Instagram and saw all the pics, then you know w'sup.  What?  You don't follow me on Instagram?  You are a mystery to me.


I want to thank Elizabeth Showers for these beautiful vine inspired bangles!  Bangles are usually very tricky for me.  A lot of times there aren't any size options and they are too big for my wrists.  Some of them just fly off of me while I'm in mid conversation because I'm one of those crazy people that have insane hand gestures while they talk.  But that doesn't stop me from wearing them.  I just wear them in a different spot on my arm.  Depending on the bangle, it can look really fun and interesting wearing them higher up on your arm.  These vine ones are perfect for the look and totes matches my silver sequin Miu Mius.  I've been on a pretty big gold kick lately but it felt really good to wear silver again.  It works so much better with a black and white combo don't ya think?  Please follow Elizabeth Showers on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram.  Don't know what those are?  Hmm.. you are a mystery to me.

Wednesday Wishlist 3/28/12

Happy Wednesday everyone!  Sorry for the lateness, AGAIN.  Eeeks!  I've got to be the worst blogger ever.  This week has been incredibly hectic but in a good way.  I am going through some changes in my work life and things have been happening fairly quickly so I thank you all for still checking in on the blog.  I promise a great outfit post for ya'll near the end of the week!  =)  So with the coming of warm weather and sunny days, all I think about is color and flowy textures.  I saw this skirt and immediately fell in love with the pleating and the vibrant colors and lines.  The texture looks so flowy and I can only imagine how great it would look as you walked around with a light summer breeze.  The same goes for the bright yellow tank.  Just so airy and pretty.  Works perfectly to compliment the skirt.  The YSL Shoes are a GREAT addition to any shoe collection.  The heel is actually on the chunkier side so it would probably be easier to walk in than stilettos.  And the ankle strap, which is removable, also adds more stability.  And I just could NOT resist incorporating this Alexander McQueen black leather studded bag.  With everything so soft and breezy, a zing of hard edge makes the whole outfit interesting.  And you can never go wrong with studs.  =)  The YSL ring has colors that tie all the other pieces together so it completes the look as a welcomed accessory.  The scarf is for if it gets just a little chilly throughout the day, which is always a possibility here in Chicago.  Always keep a scarf or cardigan handy because you never know where the day will lead you.  What do you think of the look?
