♥ i bought a fanny pack.

(this one to be exact.)

i've been giving alot of thought to my present cell phone situation at work.

i feel like i need it on me at all times- but i wear alot of dresses. 

and while some of them have cleverly hidden side pockets,

i find that most of the time i end up shoving my phone

down my cleavage, which gives my chest a lop-

sided look, and my phone a sweaty afterglow.

inspired by dkny's spring 2013 collection,

i have decided to give a fanny pack a whirl.

and so far, so good! 

would you ever wear one?? or is it too hulk hogan?

here are some other options:

urban outfitters studded fanny

kinies ruffled fanny.

sequin fanny pack.

moroccan festival fanny.

how graceful and elegant are these richard avedon-inspired photos

of model, natalia iturregui, dressed entirely in paper?

photographer iban montero joined forces with stylist/designer ana lopez

to create an editorial that combines classic chic and modern genius

in a fabulous way.

i think i need a paper dress.

i am going to a wedding in san francisco for memorial day weekend, 

so i took the opportunity to search out a pretty cocktail dress.

i found a beauty from armani exchange in my size (at a mere $20!) 

and placed my order.

days later, i received this petite package...

with my thin slip of a dress lovingly wrapped...

i am excited to say that my new lbd fits perfectly, and its lightness

is an added bonus for my carry on to cali!

now it's your turn to get the thred UP experience ;)

why didn't it occur to me to have edible flowers on my wedding cake?

i just saw this recipe for a flowerfetti cake in in style magazine and i'm in love.

via.

but why just stop at cakes? here is an example of

 flowery cheese, cupcakes & ice cubes!

all look gorgeous, although i feel like i would rather press

them in a book for safekeeping rather than eat them.

ps. here is a fun, illustrated guide to edible flowers.

♥ "color is not a crime. it's a way of life."

i am a certified lipstick addict.

but never in all my years of lipstick-wearing

have i dared to try such unique colors as those available

on lime crime. the colors are brilliant. and so are their names:

new yolk city, no she didn't, d'lilac, 

mint to be &  airborne unicorn.

i want ALL of them!
