The Tiny Closet

Since romantic is not a usual look I rock (I'm more of a modern minimalist) I was excited to have an excuse to put together something different, girly and fun.  

Like I really needed an excuse though, right?

Whenever I play with a different style than my own,  since it's temporary I go a less expensive route of course and hit up the Garment District, fabric shops and thrift stores.  This time, I had a specific look in mind: a lovely hybrid between my minimalist ways and a whimsical, ultra romantic styling.  I designed a lounge-like swing jacket made of deep navy lace and paired it with what else?  Chic white gypsy pants.  Whipped it all together fast for a Tiny glamour shoot!

I hope you all enjoy the spirit of tomorrow and if you have a special someone, it's fun to get a little sultry and glam.  

Drunk In Loooooove!!!

With each month that goes by, I've been feeling increasingly bolder and more daring with my clothing choices...  And with Summer here beating down on us, it's easy to just give up on covering up - too hot to care!  

And these wedges!  I accepted years ago that I have short legs.  

But I don't accept wearing shoes that make them look even shorter!  And that also includes shoes with thick ankle straps like the ones you don't see here.  

Why?  Because I cut them off.  Straps cut short the fluidity of the leg.  On everyone.  

And it's fine if you're Heidi Klume yes, but since my legs don't have much real estate, I cut the straps off these wedges for the sake of looking longer.  

Like Heidi, yes?  ;-)

While posing a la mid drift and heels, we saw our roommate and bestie relaxing, minding his own business.  He's always so stylish and I love that we always look like twins in photos so of course, we invaded and had an impromptu photo shoot :)  Between Theo and Chris, I'm in such fashionable company.

I'll be finishing up some fun little coverups for the Summer months that you may be interested in checking out tomorrow!  

oh who am I kidding?

You're going to adore them!

yummy!!

Almonds are a great source of vitamin E (yay for skin!!) and give me energy.  And flax seeds are like a superfood with Omega 3 fat and fiber.  

Midnight Moo is also a very important source of goodness... so that's something too.

Easter festivities never fail to bring out the girlier, frou frouy side of my closet.  And since my skin tone tends to fair well with pastels, I dive right into the moment every year.
