My Own Private Idaho

While still in Idaho, we chanced upon this fantastic piece of work. Have you ever seen a better gas station sign? Have a fabulous weekend! Follow along on Instagram @jkschroeder while I'm in Miami this weekend.

Giraffe

Whenever we went to the zoo when I was little, the giraffe was always my favorite animal to see. I can't remember the last time I was at a zoo, but I think it's about time that I go see the giraffes again. What's your favorite animal?

Big Hair

I have big hair. I have kind of always had big hair, or at least since middle school. Growing up in the humidity of the Midwest certainly didn't help the problem, but moving to Denver has. Some days though, it's as big as ever. And those days, my hair predicts the weather as well as anything. I suppose that's an upside, at least.

Derby Days

At the very last minute on Saturday I went to join my friend Alice to watch the 139th running of the Kentucky Derby. Basically, it was a good excuse to put on a hat and choose horses to cheer for based solely on their names. Did you put on a fun hat and watch the Derby?

The last photo is from my instagram. Follow along to see more @JKSchroeder!

Let's Get Nautical

 Blogs like Classy Girls Wear Pearls, and the amazing-ness that is J. Crew, and more particularly, Jenna Lyons, have brought the prep trend into the forefront of fashion. As I get older, I find myself embracing more and more aspects of this particular style, and the grace it exudes. While I know I will never be truly "prep," I certainly appreciate its influences. Also, check out this article that was linked on Cupcakes and Cashmere yesterday if you want to fall even more in love with Jenna Lyons than you already are.

Goodbye Sky Harbor

I spent far too long in Sky Harbor International Airport last weekend, though the awesome restaurants in Terminal 4 made the wait slightly more bearable. This outfit was the only thing that made sense. I can't wait to get back to that blue blue sky though, and that fiery summer heat.

Broadripple is Burning

In case you were wondering, it is definitely still winter in Minneapolis. Luckily, I'm only a day away from what already feels like summer in Scottsdale. These photos are from last week there, in what I wish I were able to wear today. I'm coming back for you, cacti.

In the meantime, I'm cruising the chilly streets of the Twin Cities listening to Margot & the Nuclear So and So's. If you haven't already, check them out here. They're pretty great, and always feel perfect for wintery days in Minneapolis.

Shake It Out

Pairing a chambray top with leggings has definitely been one of my favorite outfits of late. This particular chambray top was my first purchase from StyleMint, and only affirmed my opinion that everything the Olsen Twins touch turns to gold. Have you checked out StyleMint yet? What do you think?

Lovers Need Lawyers

How is it November already? The post's title pays homage to The Good Life's Album of the Year. The November song, of course. 

I'm a little late to the oxblood party, though not for lack of trying. It just took me awhile to find the perfect piece to add to my wardrobe, and now I can't stop wearing them.
