I'm not sure what is on this graphic tee, but I LOVE, LOVE it. It reminds me of a watery version of Paris or an equal caliber city. It's so romantic and troubled at the same time. 

just merried.

One of my favorite couples, Lisa and Alex of Chicago, were recently hitched last weekend. It was a beautiful wedding, complete with readings from a dinosaur love story, gourmet burgers and lots of cakes and pies. It was a recipe for success. 

I hate dressing myself for weddings -- I never know what is appropriate, and spending money on a dress I won't wear again is hard to stomach. Luckily for me, I wandered into Anthropologie one day and found a killer neon yellow dress with sparkles. Kind of Bollywood and not anything I would typically pick out for myself, but I decided to try it on.

I fell in love. It was a decent length and the color looked fantastic on my skin tone (both are next to impossible to accomplish). I snatched it up, needless to say. I think I would wear it again, for sure, as it's not too fancy that it can't be tamed down for work or play or whatever.

Me with sweet Chelsea.

I love spikes and studs, so when I saw these the Sam Edelman 'Beatrix' flats, I knew I had to have them. I had been drooling over them for awhile now after seeing them in the Omaha shoe boutique called The Mix. They are the perfect combination of classic cap-toe mixed with an edge. Also, they're not too embellished.
