How cute is this clutch from Vera Bradley? I posted about their new leather line (faux & real!) a few months back and was ecstatic when they sent me this perfect spring clutch. But knowing me, I couldn't wait until spring to pull out the white bag - I did it with a winter outfit anyways. Sorry, so not sorry.

#InAnotherLife

I spent between 3-4 hours last night playing with graphics. What started as an innocent color palette experience turned into a full-blown "Save The Date" design. I was pretty proud of myself when I finally did go to bed around 2 AM, but realized that I will probably change my mind tomorrow and shouldn't put so much time into this. I really enjoy working with patterns, colors, and creating logos. An average weeknight consist of designing new headers, buttons, or logos for this blog and now more recently my wedding stationary. I may have become a Graphic Designer #InAnotherLife

The icons of fall fashion are slipping though our fingertips and I am holding on for as long as possible. For me, it's either boots or summer dresses - all this in between nonsense is cramping my style. Pick a season weather gods.

CASUAL FRIDAY - 30X30 - Day 14

Faux Fur Vest: F21 - Similar Here - $34 // Boots - Same Here - c/o OnlineShoes.com - $160

Casual Friday. The good, the bad, and the ugly of transitioning seasons. 

The good: Change. As much as I love my leggings and boots, i'm looking forward to peep toe shoes and flared summer dresses. This winter has been an incredibly long one, and i'm ready for some sunshine.

The bad: Sniffles. When seasons change, I inevitably get sick. I've been holding out for a while now, but consider this my official jinx. I'll be bedridden next week.

The ugly: Layers. You can never be prepared for the weather in times like this. It's freezing in the morning, hot in the afternoon, and a complete toss up at night. I don't know about you, but i'm ready to soak up the sun.

I'll be going away with my fiance for the weekend, but wanted to share something special with you all. This Sunday is the anniversary of the day that Sahir proposed a year ago. Come visit on Sunday for my first time telling the complete proposal story.

Do you ever feel like you've gotten to the point where you feel just utterly overwhelmed? Like there are 5,406 things on your plate and you just need a bigger freakin' plate. That's how i've been feeling. The advice that I always give to others who have told me they felt this way is to make a list, and cross things out -even the small things. "This will help you feel accomplished and therefore encourage productivity!" I should really learn to listen to myself. There are a number of things that I want to accomplish this year, and I think I need to start doing them and get the ball rolling. I should also stop binge "Netflix-ing" (Webster, is this a word? It should be.) I guess the first step is to make a list... good thing I bought that pretty Kate Spade planner.

Any suggestions for getting things done? How do you organize your life? Suggestions are appreciated!

It's Day 4 of my 30 x 30 challenge and so far it is still going strong. I have learned a few things along the way and here is one. I realized that when I picked out the 30 pieces I wanted, they were the ones I had been wearing often and were on my mind. Now that I am trying to put those pieces together into outfits, i'm realizing that I have already worn so many of the outfits that could have been part of my 30 x 30. Here are a few of my favorites:

Polka Dot + Coral

Fiesty Fushia

On The Hunt

All Black Everything

Pretty in Polka Dots

Of course, I cannot repeat as per the 30 x 30 Style Challenge Rules or else the Style Gods will frown upon this (or just Kendi). Lesson here? Choose your 30 different items, then your usual to be a part of the challenge.
