Travel :: Atlanta Market

In the spirit of just plain blogging more I am going to try to blog more about my travels, no not fancy island travel, work travel, sorry - that's all I've got right now!

So here I go this morning... off to Atlanta for Market! This is my first time in Atlanta so I will try to snap a lot of pictures and share my experience!

Wish me luck and more later!!

Streets of Sparkle

Last week the adorably funny Jaclyn of Streets of Sparkle forced me to get comfortable in front of the camera after the LAFCO blogger event! I can't believe she caught me in such a slightly comfortable pose... good camera work is what I call that.

See the whole post and what all my outfit pieces are here!

This was slightly out side of my box but getting ready quickly and knowing I needed to be stylish for the LAFCO event in Highland Park Village I stretched myself! {I mean you can't step foot in HPV without wearing something ultra cool... you will feel like a troll immediately!} I always feel instantly stylish in these pants and I think the apricot Line & Dot jacket was the perfect way to Spring it up! 

I am on my way to getting more comfortable in pictures... hopefully the next time I run into Jaclyn I will be broken in!

Obsessing Over :: Nail Color

Oops... sorry for the uncreativity right now in my posts.  However, I am obsessing {I mean night, day, eating, sleeping} over my nail color.   Usually I don't give nail trends a second thought but for some reason it's consuming my mind.  After a couple failed attempts at the ring finger different color trend I have finally nailed {pun intended} down my favorite combo.  My nails look hideous right now so I will fix and take a picture later but my favorite thus far is a plum purple color with silver, pink, gold glitter on the ring finger.  As you all know my next adventure will be these. However I am also adding the below to my list of must try nail trends for the season... no wonder my nails are hideous! They are screaming for me to lay on some dark red polish and leave them alone again... sorry ladies... not happening til next October so let's get used to it.

I tried this one last week. You have to get the EXACT right pink for this to not look totally ridiculous.  I used a bright pink usually only used on my toes when I'm feeling sassy and on my 5 year old nieces nails when I go over to babysit.  That is not the right kind.  After searching I could not find the origin of this picture or what the color is, if you know please let me know!

I love this coral pink color but I am not a huge fan of matte nail polish.  It makes me feel like I stuck my nails in clay so I would probably just go for it and do a shiny pale coral with the silver stripes... how on earth do you get them that straight?

I may have to splurge for this Deborah Lippmann gold glitter.  I haven't been able to find one so perfectly thin but with big flecks of gold.  This could be used on so many of the current trends it might be worth it.

Let's go back to my inability to have my nails be this crazy... I love this but I would probably just do one MAYBE two of my fingers in this chevron.  Again, I am going to learn to do this on my own.  I will... just wait.

What nail trends are you drooling over right now?

What to Wear :: Guest of Wedding

As I mentioned, I attended my first wedding of the season yesterday and it was just as gorgeous as I expected! The bride's wedding dress was fantastic and all over lace and the band was fun so the dancing did not stop.  I wore a light pink Cynthia Steffe one shoulder ruffle dress and Southern Boy wore a tan Spring suit, we were ready for Spring and a preppy party for sure.

Dressing for weddings can be tricky but I don't think it has to be.  Just have fun and enjoy the way you feel and look and you will be set.  Here are some fun suggestions for your upcoming wedding.

Nordstrom :: Maggy London Iridescent Jersey Dress :: $149

 

Tibi :: Simona Sleeveless Dress :: $440

Zara :: Lace Tulip Dress :: $99

What is your go to dress for weddings?

Sunnies

Even though it's supposed to rain... again.... today I am thinking about a new pair of sunnies for the season.  I'm loving the cat eye look ala Kourtney Kardashian below.

Here are some I have been looking at to copy this chic look.

Kate Spade New York :: "Franca" Cat's Eye Sunglasses :: $150

I love the light color of these.  They would be easy to wear if you thought the cat eye didn't look good on you (which would be a lie because I think it looks good on most people).

RetroCitySunglasses.com :: $6.99!

Seriously... they are $6.99!! I like how dramatic the cat eye is too.. perfect for a cheap pair.

Urban Outfitters :: $18

Want something a little more fun? Go for the pale pink ones here! I love these! I don't usually do any sort of colorful sunglasses, tortoise is pretty much as crazy as it gets.  I think I could do these though! The pale pink color is a perfect girly, trendy way to do it.

Any fun plans for the weekend? I will try to blog this weekend but I will be a busy lady!! Dinner tonight with friends, wedding tomorrow, and then the cutest little lady I know turns 3 on Sunday with a tea party birthday!! She picked it... cute huh? I will take pictures there... I have already been instructed to wear something frilly, who could resist?!

Happiness in Shoes

I find happiness in shoes.  Pretty things that make me smile.  Today was the last day of market which is a relief. However, I got to see these pretty ladies today!! The last buyer I worked with came in wearing them and I immediately drilled her on how I could also own them.  I love when something amazing doesn't cost more then 1 months salary so I was thrilled to learn these are actually within my grasp.  They are Steve Madden and only $99.95!  

Believe me when I tell you the pictures do these things NO JUSTICE AT ALL.  I can't wait to go try them on this week and wear them all summer long.  

xoxo,

Molly
