Outfit Of The Day (A Tower Of Flowers)





First things first!  In case you didn't hear the good news: H&M is FINALLY coming to town! I am so, so excited--it's about darn time we joined the year 2006 here in Denver, isn't it?  And here's a little bit of trivia for you, too: did you know that H&M originally started out as just Hennes ("hers" in swedish)?  Mauritz was added later on when the company joined forces with a hunting equipment store called Mauritz Widfross, and that is how we now have Hennes & Mauritz...or H&M.   Those swedes are sure fun, aren't they.

Second in the category of good news: I better see all of my local Denver stylistas at the first annual Denver Style Expo this weekend, especially at the Denver Top 10 Fashion Show featuring Mondo Guerra on Saturday night! Makeover Stations!  Hourly runway shows! Workshops! And all for a $10 admission! It will be the cheapest thing that you will ever buy in the world of fashion, and it won't take up an inch of space in your closet, either. Head right here for the location & ticket information.

On to the outfit. I am finally settling back into the old bump and grind of being back home.  I am still working on OOTD's from Vegas, which is quickly turning into a massive post, but until then here's something to tide ya'll over until I get around to posting those sometime next year.  Hardy-har.

Spring is all about bright and bold colors, which is what immediately attracted me to this skirt!  But floral skirts sure can be a bit fussy to wear, can't they? The darling and sugary-sweet factor of them can also be part of their downfall; pair with the wrong blouse and shoes and you'll look like you're still wandering lost from last year's the Easter parade. 

I decided to pair this skirt with fun shoes, a camp shirt I recently scored at H&M, and a bright yellow bag to try to tone down some of the twee-ness.  I then topped it all with a sneaky snake necklace ready to tiptoe er, slither through the tulips and ta da:

Long Weekend (Vegas 2011)





This is definitely the Year Of Travel, and I had barely unpacked from my Sioux Falls/Minneapolis Trip before I was packing again for Vegas.  Whoa buddy, whoa.

I love going to Vegas, and if any of you follow me on twitter you probably already know that this trip was stuffed full of fun times. From (lots of!) shopping to checking out the new Nanette Lepore boutique at City Center and trying to not mash my face into the beautiful purses and shoes Miu Miu and Fendi...to checking out the new The Cosmopolitan right next door (where we are DEFINITELY staying next time- it is so gorgeous and  swanky inside and right up our alley!)....to getting our food & drinks on and spending a super fun night with our Denver friends at N9ne Steakhouse, The Ghostbar, The Playboy Club, and Moon all at The Palms...I am now officially ready for a 240 hour nap, please!


Just a few quick snaps:

 view from the ghostbar before I got too drunk to hold the iphone the right way


I rest my case.


Getting cliche'd in the bathrooms, as IF drunk people can read (only in vegas, sad trombone)


a goose exploded all over our hotel room!


but I was happy to find when I awoke the next morning that even after a night of insane intemperance and shaking our tail-feathers at The Palms and the feathers all over our room, my Haute Hippie Goose Feather skirt was still in surprisingly good shape. whew--I was scared!


A LEGO Buffet at Droog. Totally need this for our remodel, YES.


Okie dokie nevermind (and thennnnnn...I totally touched it).


(And I had a super funny picture of Husband holding a tin of women's Emergency Undies at the gift shop that he had mistaken for a tin of lip balm to go right here...but it has now mysteriously disappeared off my camera.  HEYYYY.)


Someone had waaaay too much fun at the dog sitters - she's been snoozing like this the entire time since we got home. So cute!



In other news, I never bring my heavy & cumbersome Canon 5D on short trips so I apologize for the poor-quality iPhone pics.  Which reminds me--with  vacations coming up soon to the ultra-photographic Hawaii and other locales...do any of my fellow camera friendies have any purse-friendly point & shoot cameras to recommend? I desperately need something small and tidy to stuff into my purse to take with me on my travels, and  I'd love to hear any suggestions in the comments!

I will also try to get some pics up of what I wore on this trip too soon, so stay tuned!  More later homies, mmhm.

Outfit Of The Day (Quick-Casual)





Look!  Three OOTD posts in a row!  I'm on a roll, kittens.  Lookout.

I have already discussed quite extensively  here how happy I am that flares and super flares (bellbottoms) are coming back into the style radar.  In my opinion, they are the most flattering cut for petites...as long as they're a higher rise, some length is kept on the bottom, and they're paired with platform sandals or wedges for a bit of extra height.  The leg looks longer, leaner, and might even help us convince the amusement park workers that we really totally are tall enough to ride the rides.

You know.  Sometimes:

Lace Top: Old Charlotte Russe (similar style here) (and here) (and here for $24.80)
Jeans: 7 For All Mankind Lexie Petite Bellbottoms (buy them here) (and in a regular inseam for non-petites here!) (and another style here for $63) (and here at GAP)
Shoes: Dior Lolita Booties in taupe (similar style here) (and here)
Ring: Ann Taylor (similar style here)
Bag: Chloe Metallic Marcie in Gunmetal (similar style here) (and here) (and here by Kate Spade)
Sunglasses: Prada Postcard Cateyes  in brown/brown (buy them here) (similar style here) (and here for under $15!) (and here at F21)

Outfit Of The Day (J Crew Cargo Herringbone Dress 3 Ways)





I am forever on the prowl for a cute and versatile knit dress, and so when the Herringbone Cargo dress popped up in J Crew's recent new arrivals I was immediately a smitten kitten.  The color!  The cut!

And I totally need another dress!

Like I need a hole in my head!

Oh, well, the dress arrived last week and ohhh, I am in love.  The fabric is thick enough to hang nicely on the body without being clingy (but thin enough to still be flattering and wearable this spring!) and the length on the XXS is pretty darn great for petites.  The only drawback is the pockets that sit on the chest--bustier girlies might want to stay away, as the placement of them made even ME look bustier.  Me!!! Hysterical. It's only a real problem when the dress is belted, but still--just keep that in mind.


So here it is, styled 3 different ways.  Tu sais pour toi j’ai une faiblesse...si si, pour toi un-e faiblesse.  A chaque fois that we’re together, Penso my heart goes purr, purr...

Outfit Of The Evening (Date Night - Traces)




Just a quick update in the midst of all the craziness.  I'm not dead!  I'm here!  I swear! 

Spring is finally here, you guys, and I am so excited!  Warm weather!  Flowers!  Dropping the top on the roadster!  Baby bunnies for Petunia to run away in fear from 'cuz they're bigger than her chase!  It is hard to be in a bad mood when the sun is shining and you can stand outside for more than 60 seconds without freezing your feets off, isn't it?

Husband and i went on a date night on Friday night and saw Traces, which was a pleasantly awesome surprise.  I mean, Husband has already named it his favorite for the year and we still have 6 plays to go!  Honey doesn't realize that everyone knows you can't mess with Billy Elliot The Ballet-Dancing Boy, but whatever. HE'LL LEARN QUICK.

When you buy a season pass ("subscription") to the Denver Center of Performing Arts, you don't exactly get to pick what you see.  Sure, you can pick your package and find plays that you like, but it's a near guarantee that you're also going to have tickets to something you've never ever heard of.

Traces would be that play.  I had myself nearly convinced that it was a comedy-drama full of hilarious hi-jinx by a lovable Canadian alien named Tracy (sometimes I probably inhale too much hairspray in the mornings) and didn't really get myself any sort of amped up for the performance.  But I have also recently mastered the task of sleeping with my eyes open (thanks to the NCAA basketball tournament and having a husband that insists on watching every single game), and it's an absolute shame to let that sort of talent go to waste and not utilize it when appropriate, so.  I was prepared!

But Traces wasn't about a Canadian alien named Tracy, oh no.  It was a performance by seven very talented performers that call themselves Les 7 Doigts de la Main (7 Fingers).  They are all former Cirque Du Soleil members, natch, and they flip and jump and play the piano and guitar and fly around on poles and hang upside down all while making you feel incredibly guilty over the fact that you now only workout once a month, eat ice cream for dinner, can't touch your own toes, and took 10+ years of  weekly piano lessons and now can't even remember how to read music.  So in other words--it is everything you should look for in a fabulous performance and more.

(And it's here in Denver through May 14th, so go!)

Here is what I wore!  Well, not exactly this-- I switched the Miu Miu flats to my Valentino studded kitten heels and threw a black ruffled trench over, so it's close enough.

I have always been a sucker  paperbag-waisted skirts and shorts, and when I tried on this soft little skirt  at Urban Outfitters while in Minneapolis I knew I haaaad to get it.  The website has it listed as yellow, but it's definitely more of a yellow-based tan in real life.  It's soft, swingy, runs true to size, and perfect for lots of blouse-and-top-tucking:

I said tucking, geez:

Flats: Miu Miu Jeweled Flats (similar style here) (and here for under $50) (and here) (and here at Nine West!)
Bag: Miu Miu Shopping Pattina in Calce (similar style here) (and here) (and here by Rebecca Minkoff)
Trench (not shown): Juicy Couture Ruffled Trench in black (similar style here) (and here) (and here for under $100!)

Outfit Of The Day (I'm Gonna Ride My Bike Until I Get Home...)






Well okay, I'm already home. I finally scooted back down to Denver on Saturday, and like any good person with Lupus I then went to bed for about 100 hours straight.  Okay I might be exaggerating a bit--I did wake up a few times in there to go to work, stretch, complain, and then go right back to bed of course, sha-eesh.

No matter how many years now that I've dealt with this disease I never quite seem to get it through my head--I never relax on vacation or trips but instead push myself until I completely tucker out.  I then come home, feel tired tired tired, and then spend two weeks sleeping and hurting (and complaining-- sorry, Husband!) to properly make up for it.

Except this time I don't have my typical two weeks to sleep and hurt and complain, as I'm getting ready right now to leave for another trip.  Yikes, hm?  I will just go on Auto Pilot Robot Zombie Chloe in the meanwhile, as it's much easier than actually learning my lesson to take a chill pill, and sleep some time in May of um, oh, 2013 instead. 

It's warm here!  Snooze:

Jacket: Anthropologie All Along Knit Jacket (buy it here- on sale!) (similar style here) (and here)
Tank Top: Banana Republic (similar style here) (and here)
Necklace: Express (buy it here)
Shoes: J Crew Loxley Peep Toe Buckle Heels in Glazed Hazelnut (buy them here) (similar style here for less) (and here + take 25% off with code "MARFFEVT") (and here + take 25% off)
Purse: Chloe Marcie Metallic Hobo in Gunmetal (similar style here) (and here) (and here by Kate Spade)





PS - You've probably noticed I've been wearing my hair up in a psuedo-bun a lot, mostly because I get stuck on hairstyles and wear them over and over again for weeks on end until I get tired of them and then switch on to something new MUCH as I do with certain articles of clothing (see the feather necklace) and items of food. 

I've had lots of you leave comments + write in inquiring how I do my hair--I'll try to get a tutorial up at some point, but it's super easy!  I just tease at the crown, pull it into a high pony tail, and then jam 234204872084720897 bobby pins into it until it sticks.  Finish with enough hairspray to make the entire shore of Jersey Shore jealous and voila!  Really- there isn't any sort of trick to it.  Hope that helps! :)

Outfit Of The Day (Red Pump Project)




"In observance of this day, Karyn of The Fabulous Giver and Luvvie of Awesomely Luvvie came up with the idea of The Red Pump Project. 

The concept is simple: Rock the Red Pump on your blog to represent the strength and courage of women fighting HIV/AIDS or affected by the disease both directly and indirectly."



So we all know that there's good and bad in everything, especially on the internet. Some of the good?  Chattering with friends, looking up solutions to weird problems/illnesses/horoscopes, and SHOPPING! 

And the bad?  Chattering with friends, looking up solutions to weird problems/illnesses/horoscopes, and of course....SHOPPING!

It always warms my heart when I see people come together for the common good, especially on the internet, and so when I first read about The Red Pump Project I knew that I immediately had to do it.  

In the US, a woman is diagnosed with HIV every 35 minutes.  March 10th is National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, and The Red Pump Project's goal is to raise awareness about the diseases.  It's a call to action for both those that have been personally impacted by these diseases and for those that have not;  if HIV affects one, it affects us all.

If you have any extra time today to do one thing, please hop over to The Red Pump Project to read more about their plight--they have a lot of great information, and you can also see what other bloggers are participating in this event today, too. :)

And who doesn't like a bit of red?  Rrrrrroar:

Cardigan: J Crew Traversa Cardigan 
Top: Anthropologie Drenched Helenium Tee 
Skirt: GAP (buy it here)
Shoes: Baby Phat (pssh!)
Belt: Banana Republic (similar style here)
Necklace: Forever 21 (buy it here)
Purse: Chloe Saskia Satchel

Outfit Of The Day (Mini Apple Stylee)




I do apologize for once again dropping off the blogosphere over the past few days.  It's hard to blog and see old friends and family and actually carry on a normal conversation with them at the same time, you know?  Especially if they aren't bloggers.  Or don't even know what blogging is.  

You know what I'm talking about- it is those same demanding types that also aren't game for hanging out and not talking but instead silently tweeting about what they're doing (together) and how much fun they're having (together) instead. 

Those types are so weird, aren't they?  They need to get with the times!  Like my gramma--I tried to have an in-person silent tweet session with her, but she thinks Twitter is the collection voicemails that have been stuck on her cell phone's "answering machine" for the past ten years because she can't get to them because she's forgotten how  There's no sitting at her kitchen table and tweeting to her (and 1,200 of my followers) about how tasty her cookies, no sirree.  I actually have to do it the hard way and vocally TELL her. To her face! And no tweeting, or blogging, or thinking that 1,200 random strangers actually care about my gramma's cookies and LOL-how-much-fun-we're-having, too.  It is a rough life here in the Midwest; it really, really is.

So we ventured up to Minneapolis over the weekend to help a good friend of ours search for a wedding dress. I have been up to Minneapolis dozens of times especially when I was younger, as it's only a three and a half hour jaunt from Sioux Falls, and it's always struck me as being a very, very odd place.  Mostly because:

  1. Prince was born there, owned a club there, and currently has a house there.
  2. It's farther north than Sioux Falls, and Sioux Falls is effin' cold right now.  Minneapolis is even colder.  You can't ski, or snowboard, or  even frolic in the snow because it's flat and so effin' cold. You can, however, ice fish and go on a Zombie Pub Crawl (the first and largest in the nation, natch) which totally explains why millions of people + a short, pretty dude that likes velvet, diamonds, and pearls all live there.  Makes sense, huh?
  3. You know--it makes sense to the 3 dudes that read this blog.  I'm still baffled.
  4. It's inscrutably stylish. The people there that know how to dress really know how to dress. I do wholeheartedly enjoy people watching in the city, as there's an odd, dark polish and sharpness to the outfits they typically don that is wholly different than anything you will ever see in Denver. It's like a whole different world!
  5. Then I go home to my own closet stuffed full of  gaudy ruffles and ridiculous bows and cry a bit while drying my tears on some lace and blowing my nose on some cheekily embellished chiffon.

My friend explained that Minneapolisites (Minneapolitans?) have actually given their city a nickname, the "Mini Apple" as in a Mini New York, so.  It kind of makes sense!  Denver has no such nickname for itself but we do have legalized "medical" marijuana, so.  Suddenly that is also kind of making sense, haaa.

Our trip up to the city was unfortunately quick, but we did hit up the Mall Of America (where I ransacked H&M and Forever 21's jewelry store, YES!), watched and helped my friend try on wedding dresses, got TOTALLY duped by a fake 60% off sale sign inside a fake Ann Taylor LOFT window while at a real (I think) Anthropologie at the Shops At West End:

 {women are smarter than men except for when it comes to 60% off sale signs- all three of us chuckleheads didn't realize we were running to a big fake sale at a big fake store until we got within 15 feet, fffffffffffart!}


And then we all sat at Pizza Luce long enough for my butt fall asleep to chitty-chat and get drunk (and chow on some baked potato pizza too, of course!):

{mashed potatoes on pizza? yes!} 

Fun!

Here's a quick pic of what I wore on Saturday for wedding dress shopping + drunk pizza eating that I snapped before scooting out of the hotel. The blazer was a bit of a gleeful find--it is  a pretty shade of dark tan and is very fitted with slightly puffed shoulders.  It was also the only one left, happened to be in my size, and I had two different shoppers in H&M ask me to give it to them if I decided I didn't want to purchase it. YOU BET I PURCHASED IT, OH YEAH.

Ka-ching!

Currently Loving (March 2011)





Dream, dream, dream.  Here are 15 things that I'm coveting this month; links+ more info for all of the items are below.  Enjoy!



1. Joie Fanny Lace Blouse (Neiman Marcus) - Lace has been a hot trend for awhile now, and the slightly puffy shoulders + pretty scalloped details of this blouse makes it perfect for pairing with skinny jeans, tulip skirts, or ruffly shorts.

2. Kara by Kara Ross Brown Tiger Python and Amethyst Ring (Max & Chloe) - I love a good piece of statement jewelry!

3. Diane Von Furstenberg Night 5 Piece Place Setting in Gold (Bloomingdale's) - Diane Von Furstenberg's home collection only hit stores last month and I already have several items on my lust list; this place setting is at the top!

4. Elizabeth and James Lang Booties (Ssense) Peep-toe booties are excellent for wearing with almost anything; I'd pair these with a sweet, floral summer dress or paper-bag shorts + a black boatneck tee. (take 20% off)

5. Valentino Rockstud Inlaid Lace Shoulder Bag (Neiman Marcus) - Serious swoon!

6. Nubby Panama Hat (Urban Outfitters) - I'm always looking for ways to keep myself covered as the days turn sunny and warm; this hat is perfect in ivory and will be coming with on a future trip to Hawaii this summer!

7. Queen Anne Mirror (Jonathan Adler) - A super modern twist on a vintage shape (and fabulous to boot!) that would be perfect for placing above a console table.

8. Miu Miu Lace-up Slingback Sandals (Neiman Marcus) - Charming with feminine, scalloped details but extremely comfortable with a platform; look for these to make a debut on this blog soon!

9. Nars Lip Pencil in Fantasia (Nars Cosmetics) - I'm already gearing up for summer lip hues and this lip pencil works flawlessly with all shades of coral and pink....or even by itself with a lil' bit of lip gloss.  Love it.

10. Edible Pink and Black Butterflies (PinchMeImDreaming on Etsy) - Spring is still a ways away, but I'm still dying to bake some cupcakes and perch these pretty little butterflies on top.  So fun!

11. Embellished Fabric Cuff (Topshop) - I love using cuffs to dress up basic t's and dresses (I always buy two so I can do the "Wonder Woman" and wear one on each arm!).

12. Lampe Sandals (ALDO) - My obsession with feathers knows no bounds; look for these to be making an appearance on this blog once the snow melts, too! (take 10% off with code "310687611" through 4-1)

13. Herringbone Cargo Dress (J Crew) - I have a few trips to climes with warmer weather coming up this year, and cotton dresses are always the best!  They're comfy and pack well, and this cargo dress from J Crew is darling!

14. Brittany Beaded Dress (Alice + Olivia) - The beading!  The sparkle!  This dress is gorgeous!

15. Lisa Handbag (Bakers Shoes) - A handbag that combines the lady-like satchel shape with a bit of colorblocking, too?  And it's under $100?  Sold!



What is on your wish list for this month?  Share in the comments!

Outfit Of The Day ('Cuz We all Wanna Dance; Just Wanna Dance, Dance, We Wanna Dance...)






Ohhhh, lazy vacation days.  But is it really a vacation if you're in South Dakota in February and it's 10 degrees outside?  And you're still working 24/7 'cuz hooray for a laptop + taking work with me + being an insane workaholic?

It probably isn't much a vacation, but I've still been having a bit of fun here.  So far we've:

1. Ate a lot of food.

2. Attacked my Gramma's house to fix it up, clean it up, and remodel it a bit to her liking as a gift for her 80th.

3. Watched my Gramma dance to NERD & Santogold's "My Drive Thru" (it was playing on the iPod on some speakers we had set up while cleaning) (and it was AWESOME).

4. Ate some more food!!

5. Had an intense debate involving Charlie Sheen, The Jersey Shore, Bob Barker, and Teen Mom over a dinner of enchiladas.

6. Aaaand ate a lot of some more...food.


I miss Husband + Kitty though.  Hmph.

Happy birthday, Gramma!

80 years young.

Laughing at an inappropriately dirty joke - isn't she the cutest?

And toootally not my fingers giving her bunny ears.


Moving on! Before I left town before driving to South dakota, I grabbed my CF card so I could finally sit down and catch up on some looks + Outfit Of The Days. In my last post I gave a few tips on how to wear old things in new ways so let's continue on with that discussion, hm?

I think that the Cecelia Chiffon Cami is one of my favorite purchases in recent history from J Crew. It is full of tons of pretty colors (so it can be paired with a gazillion different things!) and its gauzy, lightweight fabric makes it easy to tuck in and out of things, too.

I think that it works surprisingly well as a vest, and pairing it with a black blouse still makes it fairly "winter appropriate", too:

Blouse: ASOS Ruffle Bow Blouse (buy it here) (similar style here) (and here) (and a fun option here, too!)
Cami as Vest: J Crew Cecelia Chiffon Cami (similar style here) (and here) (and here for $23.99)
Skirt: GAP (buy it here + take 25% off with code "25GAP") (pencil skirt style here)
Belt: J Crew (buy it here, on sale!)
Ring: Banana Republic (buy it here, on sale!)
Booties: Dior Serpent Booties (similar style here) (and here) (love these heels by Tracy Reese, too!)
Pumps: Christian Louboutin Mater Claudes (buy them here) (similar style here)
Bag: Chloe Paraty in Rosewood (similar style here) (and here for under $100) (and here for $59.95!)
