Sunshine, Wedges... And A Day Off!

Apr 25, 2011

{TOP & WEDGES: H&M, JEANS: AMERICAN EAGLE}

Hello friends! Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. I spent mine enjoying some fabulous sunshine and spring weather. Finally! I also may have eaten one too many Easter chocolates -oops. And I forgot to do an outfit post late last week. I would like to blame that on my sugar coma.

I have also come to the conclusion that great weather and fashion blogging are SO much fun. Anyone else with me? I adore exploring places with my hubs, and getting some pictures -of course! We usually end up eating lunch on a fantastic outdoor patio or strolling down to the beach. I'm certain that rain, ducking under bridges and watching my hair frizz out, are less than palatable. Hehe, life!

As for the outfit? Oh my goodness, well being that it was my day off, I went super simple. But I gave my normal “jeans look” some added fun with red lipstick and some super cute wedges. Highlight of the day? Wiggling my sock-free toes in the sun! Happy Monday, my lovelies. xx veronika

PS -Did anyone else eat way too many Easter chocolates? Sugar confessions are on the house today!

  7. Agreed. It is amazing what some red lips and stripes can do for one's mood. I think I may have to try that as medicine for my sour mood this morning. But I'd need a very baggy striped shirt to camouflage my 12 Reeses eggs in my belly.

  8. It surprises me as I type this, but I actually exercised self-control on the Easter egg front this year... Not so much on the wine yesterday afternoon, perhaps, however ;) I must say, you make casual look so enviably chic in these photos. I'm not really a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl, but seeing you in these photos makes me want to try it out for a day or two! Especially loving this coral wedges- too cute and oh-so-much fun now that the weather is (occasionally) warm enough to actually wear them!

  52. I hadn't been in H&M in so long but today I browsed through and I did notice their cork wedges in different colours! Very cute! I'm always nervou about H&M shoes hurting my feet. I had a bad experience with a pair of their pumps that actually took chunks out of my feet. EW

    Stripes are my go-to. They are just always so fun and even if the outfit is casual, it still looks interesting.

    Glad you enjoyed your chocolate filled day off!

  60. I love the wedges. I think I might get some Toms wedges this year, but am having trouble paying that much. (Yes, it's a REALLY good cause . . . but I should be saving, ugh.) I wish I had an H&M around - I'm sure yours were a reasonable price; and I just love shopping there. Jealous!

  75. I ALWAYS eat too many Easter chocolates (I am convinced it is because chocolates just tastes better in the shape of eggs and bunnies ;)).

    Adore your stripes and red lips (and corkie wedgies!)..bravo!

  76. I wish my husband loved taking photos of me out and about! But the truth is, he hates it. Maybe I'm too bossy... What's your secret to getting husband co-participation?

    p.s. Wedges, yay!

    ReplyDelete
  77. Black and white stripes are my favorite kind of stripes (although I love them all) and I adore the detail on the sleeves. Happy you were able to free your toes!

  78. I am new to fashion-y blogs, but I am happy to have found yours; I am terrible at dressing and find shopping intimidating (but still fun). I have a hard time picking pieces that "complete" an outfit or add color in unlikely places (like your cute little wedges do), but I am hoping to gain some ideas and inspiration from your outfits.

    I look forward to reading along and learning more about you (and how to dress, for that matter)! ;)

    Aloha,

    never-ending well of robust outfit strategies with dynamic results! adored a gabizillion amounts. my sugar consumption reigns supreme, there's nothing better than biting the head off a poor defenseless choco bunny! ; )

    Sunday was a treasure, another day that sits atop my shelf of life...to heck with blue skies - you girls are all i needed to make any day brighter! um, and Martin is like the coolest dude in the universe (besides Sean, he'd kill me if i didn't say that), you got a one in a million guy there. super hero modeling insights and all, splendid day! xo ♥

    ReplyDelete
  103. The gathered sleeves on that top are so cute! And of course I adore the pop of red lipstick.

    However, considering it's now Tuesday and I'm still eating chocolate, I should probably avoid the details of my sugar confessions!

    I didn't eat ANY chocolates, can you believe it? I had one right when Easter candy hit the shelves and that was it. Pretty proud of myself!
