I don’t know how you do it. Season after season, you create looks that speak to both the girly-girl and tomboy inside of me. Thanks for giving me the courage (and vaildation) to let both of those girls hang out together. When you mixed beanie hats with frilly dresses, my heart nearly exploded! I’m totally with you on this one.
Sincerely,
The girl who wears beanies even when it’s well above 50 degrees

I hope you had a fun weekend. I spent most of my mine unplugged but hardly had a chance to relax with all the social events planned. Really feeling it today! I’ll be back this week with regular posts, but for the moment, check out the “Rainy Day Style” round up I pulled together for Minnesota Monthly’s Twin Cities Style blog. We’ve been enjoying some great storms lately and are scheduled to get some more this week! Gotta love spring in the Midwest.
This week I’m sharing two ways to wear my favorite trend: The Maxi Skirt. Pair it with a leather jacket for an edgier look, or a lady-like blouse for a polished look. Read the full post
I’m over at Twin Cities Style talking about tips for mixing and matching the rings you’ve got in your jewelry box this week! Check it out!

Opening Ceremony’s Fall 2012 Lookbook is flirting with my girly sensibilities. Model Hyoni Kang looks just the right amount of cute in these landscape-inspired prints and textures.
Jean shorts are here to stay, at least for this season. There’s no reason you they can’t be dressed up if you’ve got a nice fitting pair!

I’d like to dress like this come the fall.

How fun would it be to wear this Mary Katrantzou dress on a rainy, windy day?
Today is one of those days that needs a little help from some bright colors and peppy music! Hope your Monday has been a good one.

Stella & Dot stylist Lindsay Oehmen was kind enough to send me this fabulous statement necklace and these gold studs last month! I was thrilled when I got them in the mail, and I love both pieces so much I’ve been wearing them almost every week. I get so many nice compliments when I wear the necklace especially, so I thought I’d share a few of the ways I’ve been styling it. I love how it looks with collared shirts!
This was my very first Stella & Dot experience and I was really impressed with the quality of the pieces and the beautiful packaging.
These lovely handcrafted baubles from Après Ski have a 1920′s-meets-1940′s feel, but with a decidedly modern twist. Gorgeous layering of color, texture and form, too!

Some people have stated that this year’s spring trends aren’t as versatile as they had hoped. I think it’s quite the opposite, actually! We’ve seen leopard practically become a neutral and the same rules apply to bold colors. The options are endless!
So when I saw this image from Roses & Rags (via Alecia Garriott) last night, it sparked the idea behind this new feature: One trend, two ways. If you have a trend you’d like to see featured, please let me know!

Easy, relaxed, lady-like. Looks from the Bren Spring 2012 line.

Loving these classic and wearable totes from Fabric & Handle. They go with just about every outfit and would be great for picnics, trips to the farmers market, and summer days on the lake. These types of totes never really go out of style, too!
It’s safe to say I would wear every single piece in Penny Stock’s Spring/Summer 2012 lookbook. So good!
Isn’t it nice that denim is currently enjoying a bold and colorful moment? I have a few pairs of color pants for this spring, but those green polka dot jeans are calling my name…

I’m really excited about print and surface designer Nina Glaser! She just introduced a new line of patterned scarves available for pre-order at Ash & Anchor. A perfect way to dress up a t-shirt or maxi dress this spring!
I was so excited when Raen Optics sent me a pair of their Squire frames last Friday! I’ve been looking for an alternative to my black frames and the Squire line was exactly what I was envisioning. I spent this weekend trying them out and overall, I really dig the oversized look and the warm auburn color. It was fun to change up my look!
I’ve picked a few of my favorite Raen Optics styles in both Rx and Sunglasses. They’re unisex and a good quality for the price. Check out their store for more styles, their blog for inspiration, and on twitter @raenoptics for the latest news.
Loving the screen printed leather goodness over at Falconwright… via all the mountains.
Excited about the ultra-prep coats and knits from Carven for Pre-Fall 2012…
