Now that the stars are in your eyes.

The warm weather is back in full effect!

I'm surely loving being able to be out and about in this lightweight outfit at 8:00 am! I know it's not here to stay, but there's such hope in the warmth of the sun.

I still like birds even though they were even overdone 5 years ago and a sketch comedy show has mocked their placement on...everything. Have you guys seen "Portlandia"? It's hilarious and so true.

I also love this white maxi (or midi) skirt. I am so glad longer lengths are back. They're so much more comfortable to wear in the warm weather than minis. I will be frolicking along in long dresses and skirts all summer!

I also also love my new Swedish Hasbeens. I've been wanting a pair for a while and I found a deal on these that I couldn't pass up. My mom and sister convinced me to get them. I don't mean to toot my own horn but I am an expert bargain shopper. :)

Anyway, I I I I..how are you doing?










Details-
Skirt: Vintage (will be up in the store next week)
Top: A.P.C.
Trench: c/o Urban 1972
Shoes: Swedish Hasbeens Jodhpur boot
Ring: surprise gift from Romwe
Bag: gift from my mom from Anthro


So, yay, here are our print winners from the Carnival By The Sea Contest! Melanie from Dresses to IL and Jessica from Monster Cakes! Congrats girls! Please email me with your info so I can pass it along to Zara. :)

Have a slap happy Saturday everyone.

XO Coury

    I've been lusting after a pair of Swedish Hasbeens for ages! I love them in red, it makes a real change from the usual black or brown everyone goes for! They look really great with the striped top.

    Amen about longer lengths! I love the freedom of a long, flowy dress or skirt.

    I live in Portland so have seen a few episodes of portlandia. Armisen is just so silly, no? I love the longer skirts though I'm a bit wary of wearing them myself. I'm 5' :( but I think I just might try anyway. They're so dreamy and I just imagine classic lit characters frolicking in tall grass.
