{Easter} Parasol in the Park...

Happy Easter, friendlies! Whether you're of the religious persuasion or not, I hope your weekend has been long and chocolate-filled... I know mine has. If there were an easy way for me to send you each an Easter-themed goodie bag believe me I would, but since I can't, please accept these cute animal photos as my heartfelt offering. And since Meows refused to play dress up for you guys (she's such a diva), these random pics will have to do... xx

{Style} Leather Detailing...

Faux leather is totally my jam, so any opportunity to double up — say in a nice shorts/blazer combo — is fine by me. Not to beat a dead horse or anything, but it's just, well, the greatest. The best part? This whole leather detailing trend makes doubling up more subtle/chic, less Peg Bundy... And I think we can all agree that that's a good thing. xx

{Style} Fair Isle...

If you take a minute to peruse my outfit details, you'll probably start to think that I'm a deadbeat blogger what with this cardigan, shirt and necklace all being Kastles'... In my defense, what's a girl to do when her bestie has so many cute clothes? Fair Isle is soooo my jam, so this cardi has been my new best friend ever since it came to stay at my house, and will you just look at that necklace? It's going to be hard to say goodbye, let me tell you... Hmmm, I wonder if she would notice if I moved away?

Happy weekending, friends! xx

{Style} Big News!!!

For the past four days I've been keeping a pretty major secret from you guys, and it's been killing me not to share my happy news with my closest online friends (you know, I had to get all those pesky real life people out of the way first!). Drumroll please... On Christmas Eve, Mr. AiF and I got engaged!!!! *Cue the fist pumping, jumping up and down and uncontrollable giggling*

I'll spill the details in a later post (one that's not just an outfit post featuring my new bling!), but because the past few days have been some of the happiest of my life, I just HAD to share the news with you guys! Yay!!!!

Love you all! xx

{Style} Sparkle Motion...

There's nothing like a little sparkle to elevate your mood on a cold winter's day, and this skirt was just the ticket. It's like the perfect blend of holiday chic, Liza Minnelli stage-wear and all that jazz... Zing.

{Style} You're My Boy, Blue...

This week has taken a lot out of me, so I'm planning on having a quiet weekend at home with my gentleman. No plans, no obligations, just delightful nothingness... Doesn't that sound heavenly? I'm thinking movie marathons, magazines and cocoa by the fire, all the while sporting my new uniform of choice— pajamas. Don't let these photos fool you, I'm totally scrubbing it up this weekend! That's right my friends, I lead an exiting life.

But enough about me, what are you guys getting up to this weekend? Whatever it is, rock it out lovelies! xx

{Style} City Slicker...

It feels like an eternity since I was in New York, so when my good buddy Jenna sent me these pics from our trip, I just couldn't resist posting them. I mean seriously, how dreamy is the backdrop? City lights, serene waters and a seriously gorgeous sunset to top things off — it doesn't get better than that, my friends... Memories, memories.

Happy Wednesday, my pretties! xx
