nowistyle Japan lookbook photos s/s '13

Some more photos for my friends over at nowistyle Japan! They truly have the cutest clothes.
I mean, LOOK AT THOSE PANTS. Never have I been more in love with a pair of jeans! They're so comfy, too.
And I felt like a 50's queen in this shirt complete with neckerchief. At first I almost didn't know what to do with it...I've never encountered a neckerchief, especially one already attatched to the shirt...but I ended up loving the 50's vibe it added to the shoot!

Springtime, where are ya?

So now that I've got my sunflower pants, I'm 100% ready for spring.
I'm obsessed with flowers (favorites: sunflowers, white daisies, and baby's breath) and I can't wait to see them blooming everywhere soon! Spring...hustle!!
Speaking of spring, I'm off for Spring Break next week and I couldn't be more ecstatic. I'm taking a 3-day trip up to Oklahoma with my family to stay in a little cottage on a pond and go fishing. Sooo happy to bring up a few good books and just r-e-l-a-x. Second semester of senior year is so tedious and frustrating, and I have been waiting for this break with arms wide open!

Do any of you have fun plans for spring break?

florals for spring? groundbreaking.

"Florals for spring? Groundbreaking."
Ah, one of the most infamous lines to come out of Miranda Priestly's sour mouth (if you haven't seen The Devil Wears Prada, you have not lived).  Although some might say it's become a bit of a cliche to be all over florals for spring, I disagree. In my opinion, that's like saying "Stop decorating your house with a Christmas tree and ornaments. They've been doing that quite a bit the past few years." Uh, well, YEAH because it's Christmas time and there are certain things that you just do during the holidays. Just like, to me, florals are something you just wear during spring.
And judging by the S/S '13 collections, and the spring magazines that have been piling up on my doorstep, it's pretty apparent that florals are prominent for spring again this year. Score.
My favorite trend was the floral patterned skirts and pants. I love patterned bottoms.
So here's a very spring-esque look I threw together to help me start pulling inspiration for spring. Even though I still have 2 more months of winter in Texas. Whatever. That's how fashion works, isn't it? Always planning ahead for the next season.
