Something To Think About

Sometimes I find myself saying things like "someday I will eat healthy," "someday I will have the perfect job," or "someday I will travel to Europe". I think sometimes we need a little push to start accomplishing those things NOW. I plan to work on this!

Hope you are having a great weekend!

Morning Walk

Went for a walk to Speedboat Beach on Lake Tahoe this morning with a cup of coffee and my camera! One of my favorite things to do is check out places I've never been. Lots of beautiful summer camps and a great view of the water. Happy Tuesday!

I have recently become obsessed with the amazing clothing label, emersonmade. After researching the designer, I have become obsessed with her lifestyle as well! Living on a farm in New Hampshire with her husband, they run the company together. She designs the clothes, models them, and they are manufactured right here in the U.S. Her style is a perfect blend of country chic, city chic, simplicity and trendy, and just makes you want to redo your wardrobe for summer. Personal favs are the brands blue polka dotted skirt and the amazing blue/grey shorts.

Check it out here, you might just become obsessed too.

Lovely Day

 Dress: Charlotte Russe Hat: Target Boots: Nine West

 Never get tired of this view from our front porch!

Had a fabulous day today! Got a new job, weather was beautiful, and drove to Reno to visit Forever 21 (always makes for a good day) .

Also made a stop at Target (Truckee is a little limited shopping-wise so I need to get it all in while I can) and got this hat! Possibly a little too much pizazz for me but love it anyways.

Hope everyone else had a great day too!

Weekend Style

One last post for today, love love love J Crew catalog styling, and used it as inspiration for my idea of a great weekend get-up.

Would wear this around town and out for Sunday brunch with mimosas with the girls.

I run a little vintage shop on etsy, http://www.etsy.com/shop/OldSchoolSwank

I found this amazing shirt yesterday, and am having a hard time letting it go!

It is my idea of perfect vintage, as it speaks to this moment in style, yet still holds its own vintage personality.

Love it!

Hello!

I have decided, as many others have before me, to enter the world of blogging. I love love love following my favorite fashion blogs. I wanted an outlet where I could share my own ideas on fashion, favorite pieces, and other little tidbits about life.

For my first post, I wanted to share some of my favorite spring looks that my go-to stores have blessed us with this season.

Totally into mellow looks right now, with a subtle touch of uniqueness, which is why I am loving this ensemble.
