How N.E.E.T. is that!?

How N.E.E.T. is that!?

My silly brain keeps forgetting to mention that I was featured in the Dec issue of N.E.E.T. magazine...
...I've also been meaning to show you these two videos. One is silly, one is uplifting, both are awesome.


...Working on some pieces for my shop!

Yours,

It's probably totally weird, but I was beyond ecstatic that I had matching lipstick for this vintage romper. It's the little things in life. This is another Delightful Dozen swap, this time around from the lovely Kristin.

Cole and I were close to perishing during this shoot. It was 99 degrees out with 100% humidity. We had to stop every few minutes for Cole to wipe the sweat that was trying obstruct his vision. Another reason I'm lucky to have Cole. Who else would suffer such inhumanity for a photo shoot? No one that wasn't crazy in love with me, that's for sure.

Photos by Cole. Thanks, darling!

Jess LC- The Franklin Collection Lookbook!

Jess LC- The Franklin Collection Lookbook!

I'm so excited to announce the launch of Jess LC- The Franklin Collection!

Jess had the brilliant idea of letting her readers pick the "intentions." After receiving hundreds of submissions, her readers voted and decided on the following five: Be Present, Be Brave, Breathe, Be Thankful and Dream Bigger. I love that each 14k gold vermeil pendant has the intention in braille on front and the meaning in English on back.

Having worked with Tieka before, Jess was kind enough to offer the Delightful Dozen the opportunity to style our own braille necklace, with the intention of our choice for the lookbook. So can you guess, which intention I chose...

Here are the rest of the photos from the shoot...

Photos by Cole. Thanks, darling!

Definitely check out the lookbook to see how gorgeous all the other girls looked styling their necklace!

So I'm curious, what intention would you choose and why?

Style Yourself Giveaway!

Style Yourself Giveaway!

I'm having a surreal blogging moment. The lovely people at Weldon Owen have just released a new book, Style Yourself, which happens to feature yours truly! For more on the book and a chance to win a copy of your very own, read below...

I have this habit of buying style books on a whim. Being that I tend to be a bit all over the place, I usually gravitate towards the type that tell me how to streamline my style to a few key looks. It helps me feel less cluttered and more sophisticated. What usually happens after reading these books is that I purge my wardrobe and feel infinitely clutter-free but less unique. The question is how to find that perfect balance of individuality and adaptability. Style Yourself seems to have found the answer. Starting with wardrobe basics (i.e. build your wardrobe, shop smarter and be your own stylist) helps create a foundation from which to begin. From there they help you explore the fun side of fashion with remixes, pattern play and more.
