The Great Gatsby

"And I like large parties. They're so intimate. At small parties there isn't any privacy." --F. Scott Fitzgerald

Have a fabulous weekend, with large parties on sprawling laws, or at least the premier of The Great Gatsby. I'll be wearing my favorite headpiece, because dressing like a flapper is half the fun!

All Black Everything (And Camel)

 When in doubt, wear black. Or maybe I'm just my mother's daughter. 

Have a great weekend!

Maxed Out

For some reason, maxi dresses seem most appropriate for summer to me. While summer hasn't quite come to Denver yet, with our most recent snowfall earlier this week, it has certainly been warming up. When I saw Emily of Cupcakes and Cashmere wearing this dress earlier this month, I immediately halted my search for the perfect black maxi dress, and bought it. As far as impulse buys go, this was definitely a good one. Have a fabulous weekend!

And Happy Birthday to a very dear friend of mine, and the gorgeous face behind LYZ design, Ms. Elizabeth Grube! I hope it's the best one yet.

Tie Dyed

I'm not generally one for tie dye, but this t-shirt dress was too awesome to ignore. The impeccable tailoring Theyskens' Theory insists on in all of its products didn't hurt, either.

Sparkles & Stripes

It felt like a perfect fall day about a week ago in Denver, but winter has returned with a vengeance to the state. I was skiing in bitterly cold single digit temps this past weekend, but the snow was too good to pass up. And for that, I'll take it. But I am looking forward to another weekend in Arizona, after a brief stop in the arctic Minnesota to thoroughly chill me to my bones. These past few weeks have been pretty busy with travel, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't love it. Do you like to travel? Where is your favorite place to visit? I generally don't spend too long in any one spot, but it always seems worth it regardless.

Thank you, Jenny, for the photos!

Christmas is Coming

With Christmas only eleven days away, and tons more to do before then, it's nice when those little things remind you of the season. For example: Starbucks' red cups. Especially when they coordinate perfectly with my green sweater to make these photos a bit more seasonally appropriate. And A Charlie Brown Christmas album, on repeat. It's my favorite. Do you have a favorite Christmas album? Or Christmas song? 

I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Thank you, Alice, for these photos! And the fabulous lunch date :)

Beat

Turtlenecks have such a bad name. It's unfortunate, really, as they make so much sense in those colder climates. Either way, they were beatnik approved, and The Glamourai's recent beat-inspired installment  had me dressing like one. Minus the accessories, of course.

Westernized

The right accessories can do so much for an outfit. Case in point, this post. Happy Monday!

Tree of Life

Buffalo plaid has always been one of my favorites, and this shirt was too perfect to pass up. Paired with torn up jeans and my favorite moccasins, it contributed to the ideal weekend getup. My weekend was pretty low key, so comfort was the biggest factor in getting dressed, and this outfit definitely fit the bill. How was your weekend?
