Home Days, Birthdays, And Delicate Florals...

May 26, 2011

{TOP: MODCLOTH, BELT: DYNAMITE, JEANS: AMERICAN EAGLE, SHOES: JOE FRESH}

Sometimes I just love a great home day! Hubs and I spent the day getting ready for his birthday, making loads of yummy food, and running a wee bit of errands. I absolutely love birthdays or any celebration for that matter! I adore being surrounded by great friends, family, and eating fabulous food. I think I might love food almost as much as I love fashion!! Side note: I may or may not be eating leftover birthday cake as I write this post...

Haha, moving along. I was thrilled to wear my new modcloth blouse. It has the sweetest little peter pan collar and I'm absolutely smitten! I love adding gorgeous blouses to my wardrobe; it's a great way to dress up jeans or add a romantic/girly vibe to your pencil skirt. And I can't wait to re-style my new BFF (Blouse Friend Forever) oh so soon!

Oh, and have you guys entered the BrideBlu giveaway yet?! One lucky reader will win an item of their choice. Yay! Only catch? Choosing only one item... seriously! You can enter here: "BrideBlu Giveaway." Wishing everyone a fabulous Thursday!! xx veronika

    In the past few months, I've definitely started to learn how awesome it is to have pretty blouses. I'm much more of a dress/skirt than jeans sort of girl, but having pretty blouses definitely motivates me to wear pants more often.

    I also loove the obi-ish belt :D

    So beautiful Veronika! I love the top, from a distance it almost has a snake-skin quality to it, and I love it with that obi belt. I would've never guessed the belt is from Dynamite, that place has some good finds sometimes. You look stunning as per usual :). Can't wait to see that face in person in three short days!

I love the obi belt you've paired it with, they're such a perfect combination that they almost look made for each other! Wishing Martin all the best for his birthday, and looking forward to seeing you oh-so-soon!

    Suggesting nudes combined with pastels is such a great tip because the two make such a delicate combination and they seem made for each other! I love how you chose to pair this blouse and belt as well. The wide belt adds a lot of structure and definition, and it creates flattering contrast with the flowy material and '70s vibe of your blouse. Ooo yay! I love birthday cake! Happy birthday to your hubby!! xx
