Krack Krispies

{via}

About two years ago, I stumbled upon this recipe and was inspired to make it as an Easter holiday treat for my family. They were more than a hit. Since that time, I've re-made them for birthday celebrations, parties, and holiday get-togethers alike and people are always obsessed. Hence the reason that I've re-named them krack krispies ;) The best part? They take all of 10 minutes to make . . . who's Miss Betty Crocker, now?!

Quite the feminine details on the blog today . . . . sequins and bright pink, yowzaaaa!

Fall in Spring

Sweater: J. Crew; Corduroy Skinnies: J. Crew; Coat: Burberry {old};

Well, in typical PNW fashion- here I am dressing like it's fall. Because it feels like fall. And the rain is back. BLEH.

Built-In Beads

Heels: Zara; Jacket: Old Navy; Bangles: J. Crew Factory, gifted

So it looks like I'm doing Beyonce's 'Single Ladies' dance in the first photo. The real reason I look like that is because these damn pants don't fit me anymore. I am both happy and depressed with this fact. Because I LOVE these pants. And I don't want to buy a new pair. But I also like having abs now. So at least there's that. Goddamn Crossfit. I need to buy all new pants. They're all saggy in the butt. YUCK. At least there's a built-in necklace on my shirt . . . that's pretty fun.

Don't be fooled by my smiles above. It's raining. And I hate it. WHERE. IS. SUMMER, DAMNIT?!

Gingham Girl

Blouse: J. Crew Factory; Denim: 7 FAM; Belt: Unknown;

Flats: Michael Kors; Sunnies: Karen Walker; Bangle: Tiffany&Co.

I'm not wearing this today. I wore this outfit like over a week ago, but saved it for a rainy day post because I'm inevitably dressed down today due to the rain. Bleh.

Hip Highlighter

Dress: Ann Taylor LOFT {on sale!}; Coat: Burberry {old}; 

Wedges: Jessica Simpson {old via Nordstrom, similar here}; Sunnies: Karen Walker;

Apparently today is the last day of sunshine for this week in the PNW. So I decided to bust out my newest neon before the rain hits. Happy Monday!

Neon Lace

Dress: Ann Taylor LOFT {no longer available, similar here}; Shoes: Christian Louboutin; 

Sunnies: Karen Walker; Earrings: J. Crew Factory {similar here}; Bangle: Alexis Bittar

I wore this shifty lace number last Saturday for my brother's graduation baccalaureate and brunch. Not only did I snag it on sale, it has proven itself worthy on more than one occasion, from walking the streets of Soho in New York to sitting in the sun in Seattle for a baby shower. And really, who can get over the subtle neon beneath the lace? Hashtag swoon. Happy Friday!

Sailor Stripes

Top: Old Navy; Minnie Pant: J. Crew; Jacket: Levi's;

Stripes are for stressed out days. Check back tomorrow for a happier chica.

My boyfriend plays in a very competitive adult baseball league in the summer. Since I began dating him, I have gone to most of his games (sometimes in near snowy conditions). The home opener was last weekend and it was a surprisingly hot morning. I shed this coat a mere 15 minutes after sitting down. N's team is the Pirates (hence the hat) and I have absolutely no issues with attending his games if they keep up with this weather :) This outfit will undoubtedly become my very own "baseball uniform." GO PIRATES!

My (not-so-little) brother is graduating from college this weekend and I feel that this photo is truly reminiscent of all that lies ahead for him. It should serve as a reminder to us all that life has so much to give, and we should be excited to embrace it. Happy Weekending!
