Small Update About House

We thought we were in the home stretch and were supposed to close this past Wednesday, but our seller—who made it abundantly clear he wanted to close ASAP!—didn't turn in all of his paperwork or clean the house out. Fail. 

Now we are scheduled to close on Monday, but we're not holding our breath. At least we received notice that they cleaned the house today. We'll see how well they did when we do our final walk through this weekend.

I'm really excited to share plans for the house, but I'm afraid of jinxing things. I also can't wait to get all of our stuff out of storage. It's going to be like Christmas, some things have been packed up for three years!

So now just waiting.

Man, I want these so bad. Python? Check. Mary Jane style? Check. Shiny? Check. Saks, $1,100

J.Crew Spring 2012 Picks

The Heart Throb print reminds me of a vintage top Kate Moss used to wear. 

Ah, this Cashmere Waffle Colorblock sweater is so me. Now if only I could be guaranteed it wouldn't pill like mad.

Jacquared Keyhole blouse & Frances dress are the perfect neutrals to ease right into your closet.

Favorite Runway Looks: Chanel Spring Couture 2012

Pretty much love this entire outfit. I own a vintage Anne Klein blazer that has the same cutaway front, thinking about adding a bow and/or flower to the closure for an update.

I wish someone would wear this to the Oscars...

...or this one. Maybe one of the is she or isn't she ladies trying to hide a bump?

A dress with a built in veil? A modern bride 2-in-1.

Oh hello, Chanel jacket of my dreams.

Even though you will probably never use them, the see-through pockets of this lace skirt hold all of the allure.

Ah, are these sparkly tights? They would probably snag in one second but so pretty peeping out from a skirt.

Beauty Mark: Jacquelyn Jablonski's Cascading Waves

I was considering bobbing my hair until I spotted Vanessa Jackman's beautiful shot of Jacquelyn Jablonski. Decisions, decisions.

In Her Closet: 1960's Robin Egg Blue Coat

Quick iPhone shot of my vintage blue coat for Audrey Marie. Please ignore the moving boxes behind me;) 

 

Two Girls, One Coat: Philosophy Di Alberta Ferretti

Alexa Chung and Hanneli Mustaparta wearing a baby blue coat by Alberta Ferretti. I already own a vintage coat in a similar color, but I'm obsessing about the texture of this one.

Some more lounge-y, top to bottom looks that I'm loving right now.

In Progress: Print on Print

1970's Chevron Sweater (Thrifted), Silk Skirt (Thrifted), Vintage Coach Satchel (Thrifted), Kenneth Cole Boots

I'm attempting to revive old favorites in my closet by pairing them with new additions. This combination makes me look like a walking newspaper, but I'm trying to work more with print on print. I think I need to work on it some more;)
