A new kitty?!





All images taken from the Bass Loves Rachel Antonoff Facebook Page

If you follow this blog regularly, you may remember that both of my childhood cats passed away this year.  While I can't convince my parents to get any more kitties, Dan's mom is going to be getting one soon, and I can't wait! I like to think I'll be stopping by their house daily to visit the little darling.  And here's the kicker...it's going to be all white, just like the kitten featured in the Bass Loves Rachel Antonoff Lookbook pictured above.  Don't worry, when the kitten arrives I'll take plenty of pictures to share with all of you!

By the way, I am in love the the shoes in the third photo, and I vow that someday they will adorn my feet.

Gold Hoop Earrings




I, like most Americans, love the movie, I Love You Man.  The lovely Rashida Jones, the adorable Paul Rudd, the hilarious Jason Segal...what's not to love? One of my favorite things about this movie, though, is Rashida Jones' character, Zooey's, style.  In fact, with the exception of the cute Florida t-shirt outfit, her style is very close to what I strive wear to work during the school year as a librarian.  I, too, am a cardigan fanatic.  (To help give you an idea as the the extent of my fanaticism: Last year, one of the math teachers gave her students a probability problem on the odds that I was wearing a cardigan that day...duh, 100%.) 

As I watched the movie for the first time, I couldn't help but notice her dainty, gold hoop earrings in each scene; I've wanted a pair ever since.  Well, this year my wish came true on my birthday, and my mom got me a pair! I've worn them every day, and I know I can wear them every day indefinitely...they just go with everything.

Inspired by: Kirsten Dunst in Elizabethtown







1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

So I recently watched Elizabethtown for oh, I don't know, the zillionth time, and I'm still taken with Kirsten Dunst's character, Claire, and her style.  There's just something about her quirky personality, the way she sees other people, and her apparent zest for life that seems to rub off on me after watching the movie.  Also, I just love her style! Throughout the film, she's seen in an array of adorable vintage clothing, from t-shirts to skirts! These are some of my favorite outfits.

Also, I hate to disappoint, but I have no photos from last week.  As you know, my mother and I packed up our suitcases for a shopping trip to Pittsburgh, but we only made it as far as Grove City, Pa where there is a fabulous outlet mall.  We shopped all day in the dreary cold weather, and then we decided we simply didn't feel like driving all the way to Pittsburgh, so we turned around and went home.  That night, we stayed in and watched Tangled in our PJ's.  That's the beauty of setting off on a little trip without an agenda; we were able to make plans as we went, and it ended up being totally different from what we set out to do! 

All in all, I had a wonderful spring break, but the weather was simply not cooperating for pretty spring outfits.  The good news is that Dan is home for summer vacation from school for the next four months (I know, right?! Four months?!), and that means that I will have my photographer handy at all times! Hopefully that means more outfit shots...we'll see!

Inspired by: Anne of Green Gables





1. 2. 3. 4.

This weekend Dan & I went shopping in Buffalo, and we were very good about not spending money.  A little too good.  In fact, the only thing I got was a  boater hat on clearance from Urban Outfitters for $10, which is pictured in my last post. 

Now that I have a much-coveted boater, I just need some ideas for how to wear it.  Who better to turn to than Anne of Green Gables? When it comes to boaters, Anne Shirley seems to be the expert.  This spirited red head wore her hats with flair and aplomb, and I only hope I will be able to do the same.  

Also, I somehow forgot to mention this is yesterday's post, but I have the week off! That's right, it's spring break! My only real plans are resting, relaxing, and going to Pittsburgh with my mom from Wednesday-Thursday as it's her spring break, too! I'm going to have to keep this short, as I'm meeting a friend for coffee shortly.  I hope everyone has a lovely Tuesday!
