animal sweater

I never want to be "the weird sweater girl." I don't want people to not remember my name, but instead remember that I wear cute creature sweaters. But I'm afraid that's totally going to be the case. I haven't committed to one yet, but I'm getting dangerously close to one of these.

Which one would you go for?*

1. J.Crew Frenchie Sweater

2. Madewell Owl Sweater

do what the parisians do

I was reading "Parisian Chic: A Style Guide" last night (which was a gift from my sister), and I found myself nodding my head a lot. I've always agreed with the way the Parisians live their lives, the way the dress, and the way they think. This book has already proven to be a great guide that supports all of these things.

For instance - the way they dress. The book suggests to never shop with the intention of buying an outfit - only purchase pieces that you love. The things that feel comfortable and that express your personality will find their way into your daily outfits - you don't need to plan much more than that.

JCrew Tee | Anthropologie Shorts | Anthropologie Clutch

See above for an example. I love each of these pieces though I would've never put them together in a single shopping trip. I wore this outfit this weekend and was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable, happy and put together I felt.

friday favorite | Archie Grand for J.Crew notebooks

{Archie Grand for J.Crew notebooks} are on my favorites list this week, because I never knew how much I needed one until I got one.

The best ideas seem to come to me at the most inopportune times - after seeing a movie, driving in my car, or on my lunch break when all I brought with me is a book, my phone and my wallet. These little guys are here to help! Write down songs you heard and loved, phone numbers, dates, names of authors, names of people, wishlists after a shopping trip...

The possibilities are endless!

Enjoy your weekend :)

P.S. The bright colors and fun quotes on the outside make them that much harder to resist!
