Anthropologie Giveaway Winner

As far as drawing the winner for this giveaway, I took the old fashioned route: paper scraps in a hat. If you received multiple entries, your name went in the appropriate amount of times. And no, I didn't look when I chose the winner- just in case there are any haters or nay-sayers.

So, without further ado...Teresa (aka Little goose) is our winner. Congrats, lady! I will contact you by email shortly. Thanks so much for entering, everyone. And, more importantly, thanks for sticking around to read my nonsense everyday. It means a lot : ).

Orla Kiely Spring/Summer 2013

If I could wear Orla Kiely everyday...I would wear Orla Kiely every. day. Anyone else head over heels for this?

FYI- Today's the last chance to enter the Anthropologie giveaway! Did you enter yet?

Pumpkin & Pleats

These were taken on an exceptionally bleary-eyed morning after a night of lots of fun with friends : ). So, of course, when brunch at a diner that is but a hop, skip, and a jump away from my apartment was suggested, what could I do but say yes? After all, it's common knowledge that brunch, like time, heals all wounds. 

I threw on a shirt of Matt's (it's become my easy go-to), a girly skirt to contrast, and some pumpkin hued tights, and off I went to drown my headache in syrup. It worked, by the way.

Booties DIY by me.

I'm off to prepare for part deux of winter storm Q due any minute now. Wish me luck (also wish me a couple more snow days : ))!

P.S.- The Anthropologie giveaway is still open, but only for a few more days...get on it!

Purple & Silver

Coming in 3rd only to that time I walked around Chicago on a -6 degree, January day (how DO y'all do it?!) and that time I got attacked by seagulls on the boardwalk because some of the tortilla chips I was eating actually blew out of the bag and in the direction of the terrifying squakers, these photos are from the windiest day I've ever lived through. As you can see from the always-flattering scarecrow photo below, it was quite difficult, at times, to keep everything in place. Nevertheless, you get the picture, I think.

Advice time: do not wear heels (or boots with a heel) to venture in a marshy park the day after a rainstorm. There are no words for my genius, sometimes.

Don't forget to check out the Anthropologie giveaway I've got going on, and have a great weekend!
