romping around

romper: vintage, shoes: cathy jean, clutch: bijoux terner, ring: vintage, belt: f21

i spent memorial day lounging by the pool with friends & then heading over to a graduation party - i worked all weekend so it was a much needed day off! since the party was outside it was the perfect occasion to wear my vintage romper. it came with these horrendous frog buttons on it, but i removed them and am loving the result!  

oh and fyi: i'm in the process of growing my hair out a few inches, so please excuse the mess that is currently on top of my head! 

i hope each and every one of you had a fantastic, relaxing long weekend!

experimental sequins.

skirt/scarf worn as dress: indian vintage, bracelet: heavy metal by lw, earrings: banana republic

many indian outfits come with a dress, scarf, and top, so i decided to experiment: i wore the skirt as a tube dress and then wrapped around a scarf to create a one shoulder dress (totally loving the 80s vibe of this fabric with the bold colors and sequins).  i was excited to wear this fabulous bracelet with it because it was custom designed for me by lauren weiner! she is SO amazing - you all have to check out her beautiful pieces HERE.

also, because of the influx of cicadas in tennessee (ew!) - i've been having to experiment with in door photo shoots! the cicadas are literally everywhere!

anyways, hope you're all having a lovely week so far :)

lilac shorts + pink macarons

shorts: tommy hilfiger, top: lilla p, belt & sunglasses: vintage, shoes: charlotte russe, band rings: house of harlow, knuckle ring: f21, earrings: unknown

pastels have been a staple in my spring wardrobe this year and when i spotted these lilac shorts (although i do realize they look sort of khaki in these photos) i fell in love.  i paired them with this fun lilla p wrap, which is literally the most versatile piece ever!

also, macarons are my current dessert obsession and my friend tabitha made me the most amazing batch! you guys should all check out her fabulous blog: life a la mode.

hope everyone's having a beautiful weekend :)

billowy blue.

dress: vintage, shoes: christian louboutin, belt: banana republic, tights: ann taylor, ring: gifted, nail color: opi's i'm suzi and i'm a chocoholic 

out of all of the vintage clothing i have, this dress is one of my absolute favorite pieces - i love the silky fabric, defined shoulders, billowy sleeves, and beautiful color. since we've been experiencing a bit of a cold front here in nashville i decided to take the opportunity to wear it with some black tights and my beloved louboutins!

i also wanted to share this beautiful piece of art lacee swan made of me, she's so amazing:

hope you're all smiling & enjoying the week!

flat-tered: sophie theallet for nine west (repost)

blouse & trousers: vintage, shoes: nine west, sunnies: ray-ban, earrings: urban outfitters

i posted this last thursday, but because of the blogger outage it was deleted and still hasn't returned! i lost all of the comments, so i'm sorry to all of you who left a comment and it isn't showing up!

on a more fashionable note - nine west sent me these fabulous flats from their sophie theallet collection and i am so in love with them! although you'll normally find me prancing around in sky-high platforms, these were perfect for my latest spring picnic :)

hope you all had a wonderful weekend! 

glasses + bedhead

eyeglasses: see eyewear, shorts: vintage, blouse: h&m, shoes: lucky, ring: f21, bag: tommy hilfiger

for those of you who don't know, im pretty much blind: my vision is -8.00! i was really excited to pick up these beautiful frames at see eyewear, since the last pair i bought from them is floating around somewhere in argentina (i lost them when i was on tour). oh, and better yet - they had a groupon a few months ago, so i really hit the jackpot!  i wore them with these fun vintage shorts and realized after this photo shoot that they actually look like they could be a skirt.

and btw, this is what my hair looks like naturally - no product or heating tools!

mcfli me to the moon.

tee: marti mcfli, skirt: vintage (via chicshop.ca), gloves: patricia field, earrings: indian, belt: f21, shoes: jessica simpson, nail polish: opi's pamplona purple

finally debuting two of my favorite new items: my first pleated skirt (yay!) and this fabulous marti mcfli tee!  the marti mcfli collection is designed by my friend chance (he's also a fantastic musician - check out his website HERE).  i picked up the tee at one of my favorite local boutiques, bullets & mullets, where they carry lots of his pieces!  there's actually a button up that i'm craving, but i recently started cleaning out my closet and realized i need to put myself on a shopping hiatus! i'm assuming this will last for a solid three days...

hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

stayfabulous,

ps - do you guys love the corny title? the jazz nerd in me comes out every once in a while :)

beauty buzz.

i get emails and comments asking what beauty products i use, so i thought i'd share my beauty picks!

1) makeup
i am a self-proclaimed MAC addict.  it was hard for me to find foundations/powders that matched my skin tone and i finally found the perfect match at MAC.  from there i ended up loving pretty much everything else!  for a casual everyday look i use studio tech, powder, blush, mascara, and a little gloss.  i didn't picture all of my lip products as most of them are floating around in my handbags!

2) skin
for skin products i love aveeno.  their products are affordable and you can buy them at any drug store!

3) hair
i spent most of my teenage years trying to tame my curls and finally found that chi products work best for me.  i also love using chi heating tools - their blow dryers, flat irons, and curling irons are the best!

4) nails
in college i quickly found out that a $40 bi-weekly mani/pedi was out of my budget, so i learned how to do my own nails.  to this day i always do my own nails and try to keep them short, manicured, and painted.  clearly i have an obsession with opi polishes:

what are your beauty must-haves?
