Lavender + Mint

Blouse: Lilly Pulitzer (similar sleeveless version) / Skirt: Revive (similar) / Necklace: c/o LuLuLe / Earrings: LuLuLe  / Bracelet: J. Crew / Bag: Kate Spade / Heels: Gianni Bini 

This was my Memphis Fashion Weekend ensemble. It was a beautiful springy day, and I couldn't resist piling on the pastels and light, flowy fabrics. I found this skirt last year at a local Memphis boutique called Revive. There, my long search for a pleated mint skirt ended, and my mint obsession continued to grow. Revive is a relatively new addition to downtown Memphis with great prices and trendy items. Most of their clothes are a little too teen-geared or club-wear for my taste, but I got lucky with this skirt!

And because I'm not above laughing at myself... I think I almost fell.

Pastels + New Blog Design!

Blouse: Lilly Pulitzer (similar sleeveless version) / Jeans: J. Crew / Wedges: Kate Spade (similar) / Bracelet: J. Crew / Earrings: Francesca's Sunnies: Kate Spade / Nails: Essie "Bikini So Teeny" / iPhone 5 case: J. Crew (other patterns here)

When I saw this blouse at The Pink Door in Memphis, I knew I wanted to pair it with other pastels, such as my peachy jeans & hydrangea nails. I love the idea of wearing colors of the same intensity (punchy neons, crisp neutrals, etc.) but the brighter reds, pinks, and purples in my shoes made this outfit not seem so matchy-matchy and added a little dimension. 

What do you think of my new blog design?! Amie created my feminine theme with subtle polka dots, pretty pastels and sweet scallops! I couldn't be more pleased. If you need your blog re-designed, Amie's awesome! We're still working through a few kinks, so bear with us!  :)
