Minty Gold - OOTD

I know it's been a while since I've done an outfit. I may have another lag coming up as our house is soon to be a construction zone for a new kitchen. Then again I don't have many excuses since the weather has been surprisingly pleasant here in the OH.

Majority of my clothes were from my trip to Chicago a couple weeks ago.

Jacket - Top Shop

Mint Rhinestone tank - Top Shop

Boyfriend Cropped Jeans- Express

Gold and Silver Heels - Top Shop

Owl Earrings - Thread

Necklace - Dongdaemon Korea

Watch - Baby G

 

I was ecstatic to find these shoes and even better they were on sale for $70, the last pair and in my size. It was like the fashion gods knew we were meant to be together. I'd been lusting for something patent silver or gold since fall and these are hitting all the right marks.

To go along with my current obsession of mint and gold I got my first gel manicure in my proclaimed colors for the season. I went to Elli Nail spa per my friend Amie's suggestion and was very happy with the service and the finished product. My nails have still been flaking since the harsh acrylics I had for  my wedding and normal polish just wasn't cutting it anymore with how tough I am on my fingers. The gel is thicker and stronger so I'm less likely to snag an edge or have chipping.

Hope you all have a great weekend! I have some good stuff lined up to show you next week!
Cheers!

Birthday Plunders!

Finally took a little time to capture pictures of majority of my spoils from my Birthday!

To start out my friend an artist John Mallet gave me this snazzy print. I always love his work!

A collection of books my Hubby got me and a Japanese paper craft book from my crafty friend Mary Moon.  I'm super excited about the pastry book and the Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty book since I went to that exhibit in New York.

A small cache of jewelry that I treated myself the week leading up to my birthday.

Gold Bracelet is from Mary Catherine's

Owl Earrings from Thread on Grandview

Turquoise earrings from Spring Flea seller is Rubyblu

Gold Gnome necklace from Substance

The colorful bed bracelets are my own soon to be sold on my etsy

My friend Beth got me this super awesome Alice print that is the words to Alice in wonderland making up the background. I'm trying to think of  a super special place I can put this so everyone can marvel at it when they come too the house.

Lastly this wonderful mint scarf from my friend Claire! She knows my trends too well.

The texture on this is divine! I only wish it was a little more spring like with cooler winds for me to flaunt the beauty about town. She got it from Scarf Shop.

 Last night my friend Angel gave me this sweet little bracelet that is mint, coral and gold. Perfect colors for the coming summer.

Tonight I meet my parent's for a birthday dinner of Korean BBQ and relaxing at home.  I have a huge stack of books to go through for inspiration from both the Birthday and Library. My spark is lit again and I'm getting back on track. You know it's good when you have a problems sleeping because your head is full of ideas and designs.
