I’m feeling a bit scattered today, my attention pulled in a million directions, my fashion sense so multi-sourced that it’s hard to collect myself into one theme-centric post. Accordingly: here’s a little of this, a little of that — the bric a brac of my fashion sensibility — arranged in no particular order.
…though decidedly NOT bananas over the weird Frieda Kahlo hair, masculine-looking models, and hein shoes. I.want.the.colorblocked.stripes. And I’ll take ’em, in the form of a cute little tee ($35, Debenhams and $295, Neiman’s):
Perfect with some funky shades (Marc Jacobs, $120, Nordstrom), a bright scarf ($55, Madewell), and some cheery t-straps (never too early to start buying for spring, and these Sam Edelman’s are 50% off at only $27! — Shop The Ram):
Like the look and willing to go “whole hog”? Check out this chic Milly dress, or this Stella number.

Just mix fresh peaches, pink lemonade mix from concentrate, ice, and tons.of.Absolut.peach.vodka. Blend, serve with neon straws, and then watch this magic little potion work its wonders…aka lead to hilarity, impromptu dance parties, and even an old-school round of “Thunder.” (If you don’t know this game…probably best you don’t.)
(Also, have plenty of snackeroos on hand. You’ll need something to counterbalance the unmitigated sweetness of the frozen wonder with something salty.) Oh, and don’t forget a killer playlist.

And a funky necklace ($135, APlusStore), a SICK crochet-accented heel (I need this pair, and pronto — $90, Aldo), and a straw tote ($195, Kate Spade):
And how about a festive dress, a la this Milly number ($295, Net-A-Porter)?
Some serious neckwear (Lizzie Fortunato, $975, Charm and Chain) and a pair of patterned espadrilles ($395, Theodora and Callum) nail the look.

Yes, yes, yes. The above three are my absolute favorites. Bisous, all of you.

With the unseasonably, delightfully warm weather, I’ve been in a country mood for the past 24 hours. (Typically, the wintry climes lead me towards brash, angry hip-hop music and fury-ball emo jams.) On my Grooveshark channel? The holy trinity: Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, and T. Swizzle. {And a little Band Perry and Lady Antebellum now and then.} When it gets seriously warm, I’ll up the ante to include the country men: Tim McGraw, Dierks Bentley, and Alan Jackson. This makes me want to drink one of Mr. Magpie’s Blind Pig Cocktails, all of which are served in mason jars, and two of which should be available in grocery stores within a few months’ time!

To bun or not to bun?! Anyone else loving the look?

Finally, I’ve been swooning over the happy tulips that have been cropping up at the market. I want tons. And I will buy tons.
…Alright, was that scattered enough for you!? Hope you’re feeling more composed than I am…
