Catch-Up

Hi Everyone-

After a trip to Seattle to stay with my sister who is a personal stylist, her own blog inspired me to document some of the outfits I put together every day.  Below are some of my most resent ones. Also, check out here blog:

Boyfriend Blazer

The Boyfriend Blazer

I know you've literally seen this look EVERYWHERE. Going through LookBook just now, I swear I saw a million different variations on this look. It is always great to have one in your closet that you can throw on over something casual and it immediately takes the look to a higher level. 

Save Time - Rock the Head Scarf

Save Time

Rock the Head Scarf

I know it seems risky, but during the summer months its crucial to find different ways to deal with your hair. Keep the outfit simple and rock an interesting patterned scarf like the one above.

Don't fear. When you're running out the door with no time to tame your mane, you'll thank me.

Also, this picture came from Elle.com's Street Chic blog. Here is the address and I highly recommend it.

Basic but Fantastic

Everyone can pull of a look similar to this!

Quick Fix

If you're like me you have a bunch of jeans that you love, but never wear. Change them into a whole new piece by cutting them, creating a cuff, and ironing! From old jeans to new jean shorts in 5 minutes!

Great Gifts

Mayabrenner.com is a great place to find some fun jewelry for a really great price! Celebrities including Penelope Cruz and Jennifer Garner have been seen wearing them.

I NEED THESE!!

I've been trying to track these down for weeks now..... it just cannot be done. How great are they!? If you're shorter like me a pair of these pumps would make your legs look endless!

Hair Flare

Ask Sam...I am always changing my hair color. I found this image on LOOKBOOK (My source of daily inspiration) and it is the driving force behind my summer hair color.

I go in, in two weeks! 

I will send pictures.

Sparkles All Day Every Day

I am obsessed with my Google Reader and this came across my desktop at work the other day. I would kill for this summer accessory.

Anyone know where it's from?

Add a POP of color

I've finally moved into my new house! Now I need to start worrying about decorating. I have most of the large pieces (couches, beds, chairs, ect.), but its the little things that make a home. The house was built in 1911 and completely renovated in 2003. The main floor living room is one of my favorite spots. It has a wood-burning fireplace with white built-ins all around it. The back of the room has a large wall with nothing on it. With the color scheme of the room being mostly blues and browns, I wanted to find a piece of art that would really pop. After being directed to a website, I found the perfect piece by Tracy Rocca called "Andover". After e-mailing with Tracy I learned "Andover is a street in West Seattle, and the inspiration was an amazing rhododendron in full bloom'". If you've even been to Seattle you know how pretty the area is when all the flowers are in bloom and everything is so green and fresh. At 30 x 48 inches, it will be a perfect size for the room without overpowering everything around it. I can't wait to get it on my wall!

Shoe Dazzle

Ever wonder if what you're wearing looks right or is appropriate for a given occasion? I have many times and that's what inspired the name of our blog, "Friends Know Better". When in doubt, ask a friend.

My wedding is in July and I have waited until now to look for shoes (bad idea). After failing to track down my first choices I came across a pair of Louboutins on barneys.com. They may not be a perfect match, but I love them and will definitely wear them again. Wearing something other than white or ivory is a fun way to express yourself! After placing my order I asked some friends what they thought and I got the same reactions... "they're great!"
