All About Color

I'm usually pretty neutral when it comes to my wardrobe and accessories (it's usually black on black on black - sometimes a splash of green or pink, but that's asking a lot). However, recently I have been CRAZY about color! Well, I haven't really been wearing a lot of color, but I am considering incorporating quite a few vibrant pieces into my wardrobe for spring and summer. Seeing all these gorgeous bursts or neon and bright colors is so refreshing and beautiful. Here are a few pieces I am drooling over...

Heidi Merrick Huntington Dress in Neapolitan

One of my favorite pieces from Heidi Merrick's spring collection. I fell in love with it when I first saw it in person at Oliver and Lilly's.

Heidi Merrick Kissing Shirt in Sunset

I`ve been very much into oranges lately...

Siarnaq Aqua Crystal Bullet Necklace

Aqua aura crystals are one of my favorites, turn it into a bullet necklace and oh la la.

 Golden Ponies Leather Satchel from Etsy 

Handmade beauty for only $75. This satchel also comes in a bright neon green and pink. She also does cute flats and oxfords for very reasonable prices.

Leather Foldover Clutch

Nothing like a burst of sunshine to put me in a smiley mood. 

World Map Cushion Pillow

No its not something I would wear, but it would sure make a beautiful accent to any room in my house (and it would help with geography class...well if I were actually taking geography - I could totally sleep and study at the same time) ♥

Have any of you lovelies been into color lately? What colorful pieces would you incorporate into your wardrobe?

Front and Company Rummage Sale ♥

It's that time of year again: it's time for Front and Company's Rummage Sale! Time to get up nice and early for a cup of coffee on Main Street and roll up your sleeves while lining up to get into the gem consignment store for crazy deal goodies ♥

I've been able to go to every sale they've had for the past 2 years or so now and each time I've come home with amazing finds. One year I scored a pair of COH Jeggings and a pair of super cute Prada sandals while last year I managed to dig up a couple James Perse tanks, a funky Surface To Air top and a little Marc By Marc Jacobs watch. Despite the crowd and hectic atmosphere, it's actually quite fun. I love browsing through the accessories and stationary from their store next door (they usually have a table outside if the weather is nice - crossing my fingers for sun this weekend).

I'll definitely be stopping by this weekend (hopefully before) work to see what treasures are to be found! I hope you lovelies will have the time to stop by and do some digging (and share your finds)!

Bun Frenzy and Bun "Sock" Tutorial ♥

I've been sporting buns here and there all month long. It's such a wonderful classic style that can be so easily funked up and edgy or sweet and demure (that and it makes me feel a little Parisienne every time I've got my bun on).

I stumbled upon this little tutorial by Liz on how to do the "perfect (full) bun." I've been trying it out for the past couple days and I have to say it really works! I have really thick hair which seems like my buns would be large and voluminous and messy, but some days I really could use an extra oomph! 

This little sock idea really adds that extra oomph for me and it helps my bun stay in place (without hairspray) all day long ♥

Once you've got your bun in place, it's really easy to make it messy. 

Don't forget ladies, bobby pins are your best friends ♥
