What I Wore: Early April

As a side note, WordPress has updated their setup and it’s got me all confused. The photos are small, so I’m going to play around this week and try to figure this out. In the meantime, get out your magnifying glass to enjoy these outfits 🙂

photo 2 photo 3It’s no wonder I posted about this pair of pants. Love that windowpane!

Blouse: Express

Green Pencil Skirt: Banana Republic Factory

Cardigan: RED brand via TJ Maxx. When I bought this, it was on clearance for $9.99. The satin ribbon trim was coming off, but once I had my tailor fix it up, it was good as new. I love that it is soft like a loungey shirt, but fitted like a blazer. Perfect. I wish I could buy 10 more 🙂

 

On The Hunt: Peep-Toe Booties, Ankle Pants, and More Money

The Huntress-On The Hunt

Let’s get right to it!

1. Peep-Toe Booties

It doesn’t matter what they look like, I want ’em! They are so cute for spring. One in every color, please!

I think my lovely friend, Michelle, has this Charlotte Russe pair. It’s so feminine and bad-ass all at the same time. They come in black too.

Charlotte Russe is really stepping up their game, because SO many of their shoes are lust-worthy this season! This hot pink pair is so cute!

charlotte russe.side zip booties

This black pair is so sophisticated!

guess.candie booties

This fun, blue pair is so springy! And Nine West is one of my fav spots for cute, comfy shoes.

And I couldn’t help but post these Just Fab classics. So sexy! I know this image is a little strange, but it’s the only one that showed all of the detail 🙂

just fab.alysse booties

Here’s another comfortable pair from Naturalizer. I will look anywhere for comfortable, cute shoes!

Check out Shop Style or Heels.com for a HUGE selection.

And these aren’t really booties, but they are a peep-toe and they are super cute and I do want them too 🙂

love culture.tribal wedgessource

They look similar to the Steve Madden Winonna Wedges that are hard to find! And obviously more affordable.

2. Ankle Pants

You know how much I love my Express Columnist Ankle Pant. But as I work on getting back to a workout routine, I may need to buy some in the next size up…here’s what I’m craving.

Seriously, what is not to love about these striped pants??? I know I have an obsession with black and white stripes, so it is no surprise that I love these. Express sells these, but sadly, they don’t have my size 😦

express.stripe columnist pant

These are similar and just as cute!

I was in NYC last week for work with my friend, Elise, so naturally, after our conference we meandered into J Crew. They happened to be introducing their new pants for the season. I liked the Martie best, although, I still thought they fit tighter on my thighs than they look in the photo…luckily, I know my body type and what looks flattering on me. I’d be willing to try on the Martie again.

3. More Money

Yes, I think everyone is on the hunt for that. But here’s why I want more:

stuart weitzman.highland boots

Stuart Weitzman Highland Boots for $795.00. Honestly, even if I had the money, I would never spend it on them.  They are so expensive, I would never wear them, in fear of them getting ruined! Am I alone here?

Woodland Update and Some Staging Fun!

Hi Followers!

Remember when I blogged about the Woodland renovation here and here? Well, here are some updated photos of the progress!

I should have even more to post next week, once the floors have been refinished 🙂

In the meantime, I have come up with a staging plan for this cottage. Now, if I were doing this myself, I would be purchasing pieces that were unique with a traditional-meets-modern vibe. But since we would use a rental company, I am locked into their offerings. Not too bad!

Photoshop Fun: Liz & Bob’s House

The Huntress-Photoshop Fun

My good friend, Liz, and her husband, Bob, just bought a house. Congratulations! It is so cute and charming, but Liz asked me if I could work my Photoshop magic to make this ranch feel more like a home. I hope I delivered!

*I love the snow, but I know how ready Liz is for Spring!
