mint.

My favorite Michelle Obama look. This is from J. Crew and apparently it sold out hours after she stepped out the door. She looks so good in this! i want it!

Photos thanks to this site.

so i got my hair highlighted at the beginning of the week in preparation for summer. i usually try to go extra blonde for the summer months and my roots were so bad i felt like toddlers were even staring at them. as always, i kind of hated it at first. But now it's growing on me! Here are some pictures of the new color for your viewing pleasure. I'm not very good at picture taking yet...since i got my first digital camera only a few weeks ago and i have ADD when it comes to reading instruction manuals. but it may have been because i was driving, drinking a red bull, and trying not to hit pedestrians in downtown memphis while having this photo session. trust me, it was necessary to put everyone within a 50 foot radius from me in danger to capture these.

peacock.

so there are random things that i become obsessed with for various reasons. some i don't have reasons for, and others i have ridiculous reasons for i.e. "i love hello kitty because it's so cute". one of those random things is peacocks. i've always loved their vibrant colors and the fact that it is so different from any other bird/pheasant/whatever. i also love the idea of a male using a beautiful, elaborate display to attract it's female companion.

so even though i'm mildly obsessed i don't really own anything "peacocky". i have a headband with a feather on top but EVERYONE has one of those now and the metal band kind of hurts my head. i went to etsy.com and searched peacock and found so much cool stuff my head almost exploded. seriously, this site is the best thing that has ever happened to me (my wallet will tell you a different story). i wasted too much money on e-bay....but this site reminds me of a more reliable version of it (without the bidding, which i hate!) because they have everything and anything you could ever want!

so here's the cool stuff i found. and you guessed it....i want it all.

i love kiss lock clutches. the red and the tan really make the design POP.

even though this bag is borderline mom-ish i still think that if you pair it with the right outfit it could be really awesome. it is a lot bigger than it looks with a ton of pockets on the inside!

this. dress. is. amazing. beautiful. i want this now.

i like this peacock hair accessory much better than the aforementioned headband. it has a little clip on the back so you could put it in your hair, wear it as a brooch, attach it to your belt or purse, the possibilities are endless!

these temporary lashes are SO cool. i wish i had fancy galas or balls to go to. i'd rock these with the perfect little black dress and SKY HIGH heels!

i'm always scared to carry pocket mirrors in my purse for fear that i'll slam my purse down and shatter it....but if i didn't have that ridiculous fear this is the one i would have.

vintage necklace with gold peacock charm. 1. vintage 2. gold....need i say more.

a girl can never have enough pillows right? i've always wanted to have a moroccan theme pillow/lounge room, you know, with brightly colored mosquito netting and floor pillows, etc. (note- you have to be really rich to dedicate an entire room in your house to pillows)

i love this wall decal even though it is borderline creepy. the colors in my bathroom are bright yellow and black and i think this would look pretty sweet in there.

this tank looks sooo comfortable. i really love wearing pieces that are super simple with just a bit of embellishment. i would love to wear this with a bright funky necklace, skinny jeans, and heels.

it's a go.

credit card accepted. bonnaroo tickets secured. dirty hippie Lindy here we come.

socially accepted.

while scanning through my daily blog readings, i came across a new brand i love (and can't afford). here are some of my favorites for spring 2009, although everything was completely beautiful. thanks just my cup of tea for this formal introduction to my new obsession.

cute.

jumpsuit heaven.

so my sister sent me a text last night about Alloy having really cute jumpsuits. of course i went running, at that very second, to check on their website. Needless to say i managed to spend the next hour and half looking through all their clothes and creating "outfits" that i want, but probably will never get (theme). they do have some really cute stuff though, aside from just jumpsuits. I also got my hair highlighted super blonde yesterday for the upcoming summer and whenever i do that i always want to go out and go shopping. this is a side affect i get from many tasks, multiple times a day. so my time on alloy.com really helped me keep that under control. it comes just in time too because i transferred $600 from savings to checking yesterday.....a beautiful pair of jimmy choo pumps? or two tickets for me and my boyfriend to go to bonnaroo?

i'm going to have to keep pondering that.

(as my boyfriend crawls under his desk and begins to cry.)

so here are my adorable outfits. beware, i am mildly obsessed with jumpsuits.

Outfit Number 1: sandals, turquoise bag, necklace, pink jumpsuit

I think i might make it happen on those sandals. i might be more in love with them than the jumpsuits. yes, i am, i'm sure of it now.

This is the only outfit not entirely from alloy.com. The shoes I found at Aldo.com, but man their prices keep getting more and more ridiculous. $100.00 is really hard to spend on just one pair of shoes. At least for lil' ole me
