Wardrobe Wednesday...

Happy Wednesday, my lovelies! I wanted to show you my latest obsession for this week's edition of wardrobe wednesday-- my H&M maxi! It's light and flowy, and pretty much the perfect item for spring... I can't wait to experiment with different tops and shoes, and let all the remixing options unfold!

sunday spotlight...

Photobucket

Hello lovelies! I hope everyone is having a nice, relaxing Sunday... and speaking of Sunday, you know what that means-- it's time for another blogger spotlight! This week I chose to feature a blogger I only recently discovered, the lovely Meg of Bow Ties Are Cool... She describes herself as "super geeky, super cool" but as far as I'm concerned, she can drop the "geeky" and just add "super, super cool" to her moniker. I might be gushing a bit, but I can't help it-- this girl is just too darn cute for her own good! From hats and cozy cardis, to flowy skirts and peter pan collars, BTAC has all the makings for a serious blog crush... Forget bow ties Meg, I think you're cool.
