Music Video I LOVE: Adele

I love Adele. On a major kick right now. This song is so beautiful...it's a live recording of her in her home in London. Her voice evokes so much emotion, but what I love the most is how honest she is when she talks about the song in the beginning. She just lays it out there. Sometimes the hardest part of break ups is knowing that they will eventually find someone else + you are risking being "alone". Woah. Honest fears, but so freeing to verbalize + toss aside...it's rubbish. We are never alone. Regardless this is a beautiful song and I couldn't keep it to myself.

fashion inspiration: {Steven Alan}

So...I booked tickets to the FRENCH RIVIERA for March. I'm going with one of my best girl friends + I can't flipping wait. In my search for fashion inspiration...I came across Steven Alan's Spring 2011 collection. It's all perfect for my trip. Doesn't it just scream French travel?? Inspiration for what to pack.

Since we aren't throwing our "annual" valentines party this year...I have completely avoided all things valentinesy. So...here are a few images that are getting me in the Valentines mood. Cheers to a good day :) I'm spoiled with tons of loved ones in my life. So thankful for the amazing gift of family + friends. God is good.

cheers to being single.

Here's a few pics from tonight. I'm working on a few new pieces...still trying to figure out the final touches. And the last pic is from my night tonight. Joe concert- with my cousin- for the valentine's day special. Two blondes in a sea of black people, ready to get down. What is my life?

F O T O

So I've been a horrible blogger lately... life has been crazy busy + I just can't seem to keep up.

But, here are a few foto's I took yesterday. Baby Duke + a reminder to keep travelling kept me alive and well at work.

fun layering + combos.

short shorts, long sweater, sneakers.

i want this more than i've wanted anything in a long time. gorgeous.

fun video of the making of the lookbook.

From season to season, Free People has always been hit or miss to me. But this season is a definite hit. I LOVE all of their looks + each image gives me fun new ideas on how to spin my current wardrobe. I definitely NEED the peach maxi dress. Love it all.

Margaret Durow is an amazing photographer from Wisconsin + believe it or not, she's only 21. Crazy. I love her black and whites. Make me feel pretty inspired to get out and take some fun photos by playing with light.

Hope you like her as much as I do.
