unabashedly uncorked: your daily dose of EPH!

Wednesday Thursday Wonders:

In addition to my regular loose, boho tops and flowy dresses for spring, apparently I’ve also fallen hard for patterns and prints. And really- I’m quite alright with that. Hopefully some of these goodies (that maxi dress is TDF) would give my regular rotation of neutrals a little more depth.

Wednesday Wonders

It was 40 degrees last Thursday and today it’s near 90. Apparently NC proper has decided to forgo it’s individual seasons so it can lump everything together in the fantasy suite.

Wait— I think I might be confusing myself here.

Anyhow, bring on the summer prints, bare arms, and color!

SESSED with this Rose Pierre bracelet (it looks like rock candy!) // 3- Kenneth Jay Lane stick necklace // 4- Annabel Ingall small neon tote // 5- Bondi beach bag // 6- Rebecca Minkoff sandals // 7- Dorothy Perkins striped skirt (25% off with code DPFWE) // 8- the most amazing Jimmy Choo pumps I’ve ever seen in my entire life // 9- Classic Ray Ban aviators

Wednesday Wonders: the “I have no creative name for this edition” edition

You know what I’m ready for? 70 degrees. And sunshine. You know what I’m not here to support ANY.LONGER? Freezing cold morning commutes, tights, boots, and sweaters. And wind. Can’t forget the [blasted] wind. I’m over all of those things.

While my attitude towards this weather we’re having (shakes fist at Mother Nature) might not change anything, I’m still going to be sit here willing the arrival of warmer temperatures.

And before you know it, we’ll be complaining of the heat and wishing sweater weather were here to stay. Such is life…

Wednesday Wonders: hello, Spring!

Though the weather isn’t quite cooperating with the eastern seaboard I’m still ready to usher in this new season with gusto (and new shoes, naturally).

drat.

I’m seeing a recurring theme here- with an awful lot of printed dresses, Joie soft knits, and blush undertones. I guess you can call me a creature of habit. Don’t forget- the entire ShopBop site is on sale through tomorrow. Click through for more details.
