Outfit Crush

{Sterling Style}

Don't mind me day dreaming over here thinking about how lovely it would be for the rain to stop so I can wear a pair of flats or heels.  Until the 10-day weather forecast shows some dryer days I will just be thinking about wearing a cute outfit like Taylor is wearing.

Wishlist :: Neon Stripes

{J.Crew}

{Gap}

I have had my eyes on these neon striped shirts for a little over a week now, and would love to add them to my growing striped shirt collection.  A girl can never have too many striped shirts right?

Marni for H&M

By this time, I'm sure you've heard about the latest designer collaboration with H&M, Marni.  Although I didn't go to H&M yesterday for the debut, I did have my eyes on a few pieces.  These are some of my favorites from the collection!

I am smitten over this Chanel inspired jacket with this outfit!  The idea of pairing a somewhat dressier jacket with an otherwise casual look is very refreshing.  It's also a way to extend the "price per wear" for an item that may be above a comfortable price range, which is never a bad thing in my book!

Leopard, again.

{Blouse: Old Navy, Pants: H&M, Shoes: Macy's}

This is what I wore last Thursday for the Nordstrom Spring Fashion Show.  I wanted something comfortable, but also slightly trendy/dressed up.  I'm glad that these shoes are also fairly comfortable because I ran several blocks in them because I was running late.  Thank goodness for having shoes that are broken in!

I've Got a Friend in You

The other day I was thinking about friendships.  About how long I've been friends with some of my closest friends, some I've been friends with for a few years, others six or seven, and then I started doing the math for how long my best pal Justine and I have been friends.  Guess how long it's been? 15 years.  That's right 15 years.  Any time someone asks us how long we've been friends, we almost always, in unison, say "since fifth grade."  Well fifth grade was actually 15 years ago, and it's hard to believe how long I've known her.  It's so nice being friends with someone who knows you so well, and you can completely be yourself around them!  Thank you for being my best pal Justine!

Nordstrom Spring Designer Preview 2012

 {Justine & I}

{Runway, pre-show}

Last night I had the opportunity to volunteer at the Nordstrom Spring Designer Preview fashion show again.  I had a great time looking at all of the designer fashions, and also seeing how the outfits were styled.  One of my favorite things about the show was the model's hair, that was in some sort of chignon/bun look - very chic.  Unfortunately my iPhone wasn't able to take the best pictures, so this is the only "runway" picture that turned out somewhat decent.  Thank you to my best pal Justine for working for such an awesome organization so we could get into the show for free!
