gypsy queen

the new swell catalog isn't something i usually pore over, but being laid up in bed all weekend from a minor teeny tiny surgical procedure (no, i didn't have a boob job) left me looking for reading material. if i were sixteen and still had the boobs i had back then, i'd definitely be rocking this little number, the gypsy 05 orian maxi dress for $168. you all know how much i love me some chevrons...

ps. happy valentine's day!

outfit in action: making a statement at a wedding

bcbgeneration dress, swell necklace, zara shoes (even though you can't see them)

i mentioned my new wowza-thats-a-statement-necklace last week and here are some photos of it in action. nick and i attended a friend's wedding in maryland over the weekend and they couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather. i heart weddings, especially when i get to catch up with some really great people that i haven't seen in years. and helloooo...that's the view from our hotel room. we got to watch them set up for the ceremony and cocktail hour, both of which were awesome. congrats, julie and todd!

that's what i call a statement

nick and i are heading to a friend's wedding this weekend and i decided it's about time i got myself a new fall dress for weddings just like this. i found a bcbg navy blue number on super sale last week and decided to go for this orange statement necklace to top it off. i plan to take photos during the weekend so i can blog about the entire ensemble upon my return. zad statement necklace from swell, $39
