What I Wore: weekend wear

I have been in such a good mood lately! I got custom orthotics, which seem to be helping my feet (may be too soon to tell, but I'm hopeful!) and it's nearly summer. Everything is just peachy!

 Speaking of peachy, I just bought the glasses at Forever21, and now I'm not so sure about them. They fold up all weird and may be a little small for my face, but I just love the color! I'll keep 'em around for a while. Oh! And the Coach bag is new! I found it at a garage sale for $5! Pretty good deal.

“I'm a greater believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it” 

― Thomas Jefferson

It's been one of those weeks where I've been alternating between bored and excited. My husband was out of town all week, so the evenings were slow and my dog just doesn't get the jokes on 30 Rock.

On the other hand, I've started nannying for a new family. The little girl is about 18 months, so the action is pretty much non-stop when I'm with her! I've also been working on two exciting projects. One is with a local boutique and the other is international (!). I can't say too much about the projects right now, but you won't have to wait too long. They'll each get a separate post sometime this coming week! What I can say, though, is that I feel incredibly lucky to be a part of both; the local one especially. I got to work with some really lovely people and hope to work with them again in the future.

I hope your weekend is filled with the same kind of lovely weather that we're having here in Seattle :)

Flattery & Features

Two lovely ladies have featured me on their blogs this week! I feel linking back to their blogs in the least I can do!

The first: Bella at Citizen Rosebud

Bella is a trend-setter, not a trend follower, and we are lucky to have her here in Seattle :)

The second: Lisa at Fashion My Legs

This is a new blog and I am the very first post!!

A big thanks to both bloggers for featuring me :)

Update: I've been featured a third time this week! Check out my picture alongside many, many other stylish ladies over at Strumpfmode 

Twitter Tuesday Interview

The lovely Collette of Statements in Fashion has chosen me for this weeks Twitter Tuesday feature!! I am flattered, honored, and feel so lucky that I get to call her "friend". She is a lovely lady and so inspiring. Every time I visit her blog I learn or discover something new. Regardless of the interview, you really must visit her blog!

It's here!

Just picked up a couple copies of the February 2012 issue of Glamour. One for me and one for my husband's family. I am soooo happy with the picture. I like it a lot more than the one in Marie Claire, but I can't complain really! What a great start to the year :)

Blogger Feature

Phew, what a month! I have been working at least twice as much as usual and have barely had time for anything else. Unavoidably, my blog has been quite neglected. This week I am nannying 10 hours a day, which has actually given me some time to brainstorm some blog entries, including this one.

I have been wanting to feature Ashley for a while and I'm happy to finally introduce you to her (assuming you haven't read her wonderful blog beforehand!). She is one of those girls who you just know will go quite far in the blogging world. She's gorgeous, friendly and sociable, and of course has amazing style!

Many of her looks draw inspiration from classic, feminine fashions. She has a talent for styling clothes from various sources, including designer, discount, and vintage. This flexibility and her styling know-how gives each outfit a unique and completely personal look. Her vintage and thrifted pieces are all lovely and some of them can be purchased via her Etsy store.

What are you waiting for? Go check out her BLOG and add her on Chictopia!
