Spring Is In The Air

For today's post I wanted to show off some new additions to my house. This past weekend the husband and I jumped into spring cleaning in anticipation of our new bed!

And yes that's my teddy bear Walter in his usual place of honor.
Of course wouldn't you know I'd have a bear with a bow tie!

This duvet has put a bird on it!

There is ALOT of pillow action here and a awesome profile of Walter.

We got the bed, pillow, sheets, and duvet set at Macys(something similar here)

I am so in love with this bed, I feel like Snow White awakening from her class coffin with birds singing and fawns prancing. It has definitely freshened up our bedroom and I've been trying to bring more spring into the house in general. With flowers.

Irises and Lillies for the dinning room table have made the whole house smell airy and light.

And I've also decided to change up my regular perfume for the season. I've been wearing Banana Republic W for a while now:

Which has a very crisp scent, that I am attracted to. But I've decided to mix it up with L'eau de Chloe

How gorgeous is this packaging! (You can also see a fig scented candle a friend got me that plays into this whole springtime fresh scent/vibe I'm going for.) I decided on this new fragrance after coming upon a perfume add in Vogue. I like to smell the inserts and if the husband is sitting on the couch with me while I'm flipping through I always like to ask his opinion. When he smelled this Chloe he got a little frisky, so that's sold it for me.

Happy Spring!

Two Things

First: Isabel Marant's collocation for H&M debuts today in select stores AND online at noon, so you may want to get up on that. Here are a few looks I'm lusting after. Hello mixed patterns! Love the oversized coat and the detail on these jeans. Patterned blazer, cropped colorful trousers, yes please! Of course, I cannot partake in this collection with my Year Of No Shopping, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. So get ready to go by noon because I'm sure this noise will sell out fast. Number Two: I'm thinking about a new haircut. Something along the lines of Tilda Swinton . What do we think? I'm not going to go blond, but I like the shorter/buzzed sides and back with length on the top. Mr. Keller is hesitant, he thinks it's too masculine, but I'm kind of in the mood to go a bit edgy and I've had the same cut now for two-ish years... FYI: Tilda Swinton is my spirit animal!

Nasty Gal

Since the weather has been horrible I've been consoling myself with online shopping. And have made my first purchase with Nasty Gal : Lacy Chiffon Blouse Yuma Studded Blouse Alva Knit Dotted Stud Blouse Apparently I'm having a button-up shirt craving. I think all three of these shirts could work with the sweater, which is an alternative to your basic pull-over and may be a bit too edgy for work. But, I'm thinking a conservative wool trousers would nicely balance it out. And in writing this I've come to the realization that my work "uniform" for the rest of the winter will focus on mixing edgy pieces, (or items with unexpected details) with conservative basics. That might not always actually happen, but it's a good starting off point in planning a week's office wear. Okay, enough of my pontificating, go check out the sale over at Nasty Gal there are some great deals to be had.

Mid-Summer Sales!!!!

It's time for one of my all time favorite summer activities! No, not bbq and fireworks, but the mid-summer/4th of July sales!!! There are bargains to be had everywhere you turn and I've already scored some deals here this past week! From Zara 's Sale: Waistband Trousers Oversized Tee From J.Crew : Linen Shorts Side-Slit Tee And a few pieces I'm thinking of from ModCloth : ModCloth T-Shirt Dress Chambray Tunic True, these pieces are a bit "basic" but I'm thinking of the 80/20 Wardrobe Plan . 80% of your closet serves as foundation/workhorse pieces with 20% consisting of statement, more fanciful items. Like this "coatigan" from Nasty Gal Wool Coatigan Just think how this coat/cardi hybrid will pop against the t-shirt dress above, and/or the grey pants and either t-shirt, for a solid 80/20 outfit! Regardless of how you approach your mid-season shopping the point is to get up on the
