Im a terrible person

I haven't blogged in a verrry long time. I have an excuse, I was in my school's musical production of South Pacific. I can't even begin to talk about how amazing it was. However, I have been exhausted and busy and life has been crazy. My only friend: puffy the eye bag slayer. Slowly bringing me back into the world of the living.

So Sweet

This dress is so so sweet! It is for sale by FruitSaladVintage on Etsy. It is the perfect amount of prairie flowery goodness. Definitely on my lust list this spring.

The Virgin Suicides

I'm working on a english paper involving Sofia Coppola movies. I had to re-watch The Virgin Suicides and I have to tell you, I'm always very moved by the wardrobe. All the sisters wear very pale, innocent colors and dainty floral prints (which makes the whole film that much more impactful...you just have to go see it). I was snooping around on the web and I found some pretty cool blog posts using inspiration from the movie in their spring looks.

In which I am grumpy and talking about shirts I cant afford becuase I spent my money on crap from forever 21

Im IN LOVE with the Elizabeth and Jame's artist shirts (aka over-sized button-downs designed for the Olsen line). However, they cost a lot more than I'm willing to pay for a simple shirt I'll most likely be wearing while wallowing in the sand. Solution:
Gap Men's White Poplin Shirt Who doesn't love stealing their man's clothing? or better yet...
Gap Men's Sun-faded Chambray I swore I wouldn't buy into this style..but I cant say no to the chambray.
JC Penny SheSaid Over-sized Shirt  If you have something against menswear.


Go crazy.

BEST DAY EVERR

I may not have mentioned this but I am a devoted fan of Shabby Chic by Rachel Ashwell.  Rachel Ashwell has a couple books out as well as a store selling vintage items that embody her aesthetic and apparently a line for Target! Imagine my surprise as I was making a late-night Target run for frozen berries when lo and behold...Shabby Chic bedding!!!!!!!!!!!!Of course I snatched up a white ruffle duvet (pictured here) and some lovely pink floral sheets. I can't even put into words how excited I am to snuggle down in this beautiful comforter this summer and honestly, finding a duvet cover for cheap has been a bitch. The duvet cover also came with two adorable shams. Funny thing is, they have almost the same duvet at Athropologie but it's about 4X more expensive and that's not including the shams (which would be bought separately).  Everything looks very 1940's farmhouse vintage. Timeless and beautifully sweet pastels, florals, and lace. Not convinced yet? Check it out yourself! Its got its own little section in the domestics area in Target or find it here online.  Some new curtains from Shabby Chic are next on my list...by by ugly blue pottery barn atrocity.

V-day!

Valentine's day is right around the corner! I'm probably gonna keep it low key...go see that cute V-day movie with t-swift in it with my girls (so many abbrev's). Down here in Louisiana, it's also Mardi Gras season so parades and debauchery should keep me good and distracted in order to avoid the giant boyfriendless depression pit of unloved doom. But, if you do have that special someone, check THIS out...although these seem more like gifts  you'd give to a chick. Unless your biffle is into heart shaped soaps? But hey, its your call.

The Sofia by Danny Roberts 
I'm a huge fan of a lot of his work..and I also loveee Sofia Coppola. I'm saving up for a large print of this for my dorm.

Ahoy!

Did I mention the good news? I'm in my school's musical production of South Pacific! I'm one of the nurses. I'm pretty damn excited because South Pacific means costumes from the 40's!! I put together a sailor inspired outfit for inspiration during rehearsal...I only hope our costumes are this cute. Who knows. Maybe our costume designer will be feeling fatigue onesies. I can only hope. Top, Shorts, Shoes
