Outfit Post: Sunday Funday

So I took Friday off this week and went to NYC to see a friend of mine. I am in her wedding this Fall and she is in mine the following Winter. Needless to say, we like each other. I didn't do it full force fashion this weekend because really, we were going to get Bridesmaid dresses and as a means of being efficient, I wore flats. I did, however, want to wear my new shoes when I returned home on Sunday. I love these things; they are my new pride and joy. Oh, and I wore other things too...

• Shoes from DSW.com, Lovely People Agnes Pump
• Ann Taylor Modern Denim Trousers
• Martin and Osa Chambray Shirt (similar)
• Earrings by NOUMENON essence (formerly Wichser Studio)
• Bag by no name brand, picked up at Salvation Army
• Gray Worn Tee by GAP (similar) 

So what did you guys do this weekend? Oh, and what did you wear? 

DIY Tassel Necklace, Maybe

I was really inspired by tassel necklaces popping up all over the place, mainly this one from Jewelmint and another from Asos... I thought they looked pretty easy to make so I decided to embark on an adventure in jewelry making. This is where I start to think about what it will actually take to make once of these... well, turns out, I could only sort of make one of these.

Intro to Creative Fashion Design, Complete

So I am so excited to say that I have my first fashion design class under my belt. Last night was the final session of my Intro to Creative Fashion Design class and I am pretty proud so say that I made it through, relatively unscathed. I have to say that this class has left me invigorated but also acutely aware of the commitment that I am making. I work a full time job and took this class thinking that I would be able to complete it, no problem. The class was creatively demanding as well as had a bunch of projects, especially toward the end. I found myself nearing the final class, and realizing that I didn't manage my time well. Rushing is not exactly the way that you want to pull the creativity out; I find it is better to let things grow organically... which I will leave more time for in the future. You may have heard that I was accepted into the Fashion Design Program. I am extremely excited and a little nervous, but mostly excited. Up next? I am taking a Fashion Illustration course this Summer. I am really looking forward to filling my fashion toolbox with all sorts of useful knowledge. For now though? I am appreciating the free time I have for the next couple months.

Cinco de Mayo Style a la Skinnyscoop

With Cinco de Mayo coming up this Saturday (convenient) it's time to partay in style! My most recent list on Skinnyscoop is one geared towards taking your sassy Mexican inspired style to the level you are most comfortable with. Me personally? I am pining for some of the many Nanette Lepore dresses that seem to embrace the fiesta fashionista attitude!

Do you have any favorite senorita inspired looks that you rock?

Mint Fever has Hit Me!

I am like soooooooo digging minty fresh colors these days. I get that so is everyone else but that doesn't mean that I love it any less... well sometimes, I like to go against trends, but not in this case. There are a couple of minty images that have really made me crush harder ( I will pause here for you take in the splendor)... Am I right? Disclaimer: I pretty much love whatever Rachel McAdams does. Mint it is.
