Wanderlust

January 23, 2014


Almost all of my friends are studying abroad right now, so my newsfeeds are jam packed with European adventures. I'll come right out and say it: I'm extremely jealous. I have a serious case of nostalgia for London, and a case of wanderlust for the places in Europe I haven't been. 

Prague
After seeing this picture, I don't think you can honestly tell me you don't want to be roaming these streets.

Ireland

I would love to go explore Dublin and the cute fishing towns along the Irish coast. I also wouldn't say no to shopping for some Irish fisherman sweaters :)

Germany
I'm dreaming of going to a cute German town where all of the buildings look like this.

London

Seeing pictures of friends in London makes me want to run back to this wonderful city.

I've always dreamed of going to Europe in the winter, I think it would be so beautiful and romantic. Of course when I'm dreaming about it, I'm also picturing what I would wear:

Jeans: J. Crew. Jacket: Barbour. Scarf: J. Crew. Tote: Old Navy. Boots: Hunter. Umbrella: Kate Spade.

This look would be perfect for strolling the snowy/rainy European streets. A girl can dream, right?

Fuchsia

January 22, 2014






Skirt: Target (similar). Sweater: J. Crew Factory. Necklace: J. Crew Factory. Clutch: Anthropologie. Belt: Target. Heels: Zara (similar). 

I'm not sure why, but I was craving something fuchsia in my life, and this little number from J. Crew Factory did just the trick. It's was (and still is) on major sale, so I couldn't resist! Also, I know what you're thinking: bare legs in January?! Fear not, dear reader, it was 36 degrees when I took these pictures ;)

Sequined Midi

January 20, 2014







 Skirt: River Island. Chambray: J. Crew. Belt: Target. Clutch: Gap (similar). Heels: Zara (similar). 


This skirt is so fun, you can see how I styled it last here.

This weekend was very relaxed, there was a lot of Breaking Bad and reading involved (just started Divergent). On Saturday I had brunch with a friend at the Edina Grill (the french toast was so yummy!) and packed up my bedroom at home. My mom is redoing all of our bedrooms, so it was an excuse to go through all of the random things that have collected in my room over the years. It was fun to reminisce by looking at old scripts from elementary school plays, reading old birthday/graduation/Valentine's day cards, and listening to mix CDs from junior high. Also on Saturday, I watched the SAG awards. Then on Sunday I watched some gopher basketball and went out to see Her. It was a strange movie, but I was expecting that. 

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend, and thanks for reading!

Favorite Looks from the SAG Awards

January 19, 2014

1. Lupita Nyong'o
Lupita looked absolutely stunning last night. That color is amaze on her, and can we just take a moment to admire her arms?

2. Amy Adams
This midnight blue color looks so pretty with her skin tone and red locks. Loving the asymmetry and that gorge sequined belt.

3. Jennifer Lawrence
I'm a sucker for sequins. This hip-hugger looks lovely on J.Law. 

4. Sophia Vergara 
Sophia looks stunning in her tried and true mermaid gown. Also loving those old Hollywood glam curls.

5. Camila Alves
This color is stunning on her. Overall gorgeous and super flattering.

6. Elisabeth Moss
Peggy Olson is wowing me this awards season. This look is all-around gorgeous.

7. Sandra Bullock
Sandra stunned in emerald last night. Love how she kept accessories to a minimum and let the dress do all the talking. 

8. Anna Gunn
Skyler White looked gorgeous in this navy, sequined number. 

Last night was my first time ever watching the Screen Actors Guild Awards, and I was not disappointed. The red carpet looks were stunning and it was so fun to see what performances other actors like best.
