Ever since writing this post title, I can't get that Venga Boys song out of my head... Ack! Annoying maybe, but fitting as this is what I wore to ring in the new year with family and friends. I'm slightly obsessed with this skirt from local design darling Malorie Urbanovitch, and to prove it, I've worn it more times than would be considered appropriate for the short length of time I've owned it... But I guess that's the mark of a good thing, no? And speaking of good things, I'm still buzzing with excitement at the thought of a new year and all the potential it holds... Let's make 2014 count, friends! xx

{Feature} The Tell-Tale Heart...

There's nothing better than a good old photo adventure, even if it includes mud and more mosquito bites (in highly undesirable places) than I care to count. Luckily I have nice friends who are willing to put up with such things for the sake of getting the shot, including trudging through waist-high grass and coaxing me onto old, abandoned tractors (just for kicks) even when I'm being a total priss about it... What can I say, some people just belong in cities.

Happy weekending, friendlies, and thanks for reading! xx

{Style} Lip Service...

I'm sorry, but can we just talk about the whole lip motif that's going on this season? I don't know what it is about this retro-inspired, mouth-agape print, but I'm digging it and in a big way. Seems like everywhere I turn there's a big scarlet pout (checkout homegirls Kastles and Krystin for some serious styling inspo!), so don't be surprised if I suddenly start marking all my clothes and clutches with kiss marks or something... Hmmm, I wonder if I could actually do that? I feel some bad life choices coming on. xx
