Look Book: Pants Party

 The other weekend I popped into Anthropologie to check out their sale section {since that's about all I can afford in that store} and stumbled upon a dress and a pair of pants in this fun floral print. Most of the time I would say I stick pretty safe with my style. Bold party pants aren't something I would necessary say are my thing. But, nevertheless, I entertained the idea with a Twitter vote. The dress was chosen as the lucky winner, however, 2 hours later I went back for the pants. haha! What can I say, they spoke to me. And yes I'm easily persuaded!

Photos From Chicago

Last week I went to Chicago for the first time! While I was there for work, we were able to squeeze in some fun {and lots of eating!}. We joked that the whole trip revolved around food, from waking up at 5:30 Chicago time on the first day to make it to breakfast {when it still felt like 3:30 am}, to deep dish pizza at Gino's East for lunch, and Girl and the Goat for dinner! We ate at some amazing places and my stomach definitely stretched out a little bit! Walking around the city was fun too! I was so impressed with the cleanliness of the city. I swear I didn't see one piece of trash or cigarette butt on the streets. Chicago has their maintenance down, and LA could take some pointers! Also, the people were so friendly and sweet. I'm dying to go back with Matthew. Maybe we can squeeze in a weekend trip sometime this summer!

Look Book: A Purple Party

I remember back in elementary school purple was one of my favorite colors. I loved coloring with the hue, staring at it, and of course dressing in it! Now, I inadvertently shy away from purples all together, which is just silly because it's probably the most universally flattering color. It really looks good on everyone! So in honor of my 8 year old self, here's an outfit celebrating that color I loved so much, and will try to love more! Promise!
