My best friend and I went down to the tidal basin and frolicked among the cherry blossoms. We picnicked and walked the entire basin and talked for hours and hours. There was baby kissing, fabulous dress wearing, and sorbet eating. Washington is kind of magical in the spring.

Last years blossoms.

Happy Valentine's Day

The challenge issued by my friend Katie was to dream up 12 ways to wear this dress for 2012. That was way back in January. Instead, I give you eight ways to wear this dress for Valentine's Day. It makes sense if you don't think about it. I probably would have more but the sun set. Oops.

KTs Vday 2012
Party Dress: Belt it short and tuck the excess fabric into a weird thing that could be stylish. Throw on super high heels.

KTs Vday 2012
Fairy tale: Dress with crinoline worn as skirt with leopard heels. I love how bright this one is!

KTs Vday 2012
90s Rock: Wear it as a tunic with my favorite (and oldest) jeans. Add some leopard and Renn Fest horns for added tuffness.

Jump-er Joy!: I couldn't decided if I liked the bottom of the skirt peeking out more than the one without. This is especially fun because Katie was the one who fixed this jumper up for me when I thrifted it.

KTs Vday 2012
The Oracle: Yes this is super costume-y but I loved piling on gold jewelry and how ridiculous this dress looks when I let it just hang off me. Also, faux turbans are fun!
KTs Vday 2012
Business Appropriate: This blazer was in the closet when I moved in so I assume it was my grandmother. I love that it hides the blouse of the dress and instead I look like I just have a super neon pencil skirt--perfect for a Wednesday at the office ;).

KTs Vday 2012
Dance Party Baby: I scooped up this vest at the swap this summer and I love how it makes the sleeve look like baby bishop sleeves. The short skirt and fun sleeves make this a great party dress.

KTs Vday 2012
Grand Glamour: A silk jacket, gorgeous under-dress, and wicked high heels equals fun, fun glamour!

Happy Valentine's Day Katie (and friends!)!

ny times best dressed list

In first place, Pinky with a snazzy fedora and suspenders. Also, his man-bling--cuff links and plugs! Even my mom was raving about his styling abilities.

My Richmond ladies were fabulous in summer frocks and hats. Love these ladies.

Emily adding sugar to her tea--hat intact! Wonderful pose.

Pinky and his wife, one of my closest friends, Katie. Her dress is homemade, her hair is purple, her gloves are vintage, and she's essentially cooler than you in every way ;).

My darling Shorne is wore gloves passed down from her grandmother. The net is beautiful and her dress and sweater combination rocked!

The true star of the party was baby Cordelia who even wore pearls!

my birthday

DSC_0848
I turned 22 on May 31st. Two weeks later I hosted my first high tea. It was fantastic. I had three types of tea (raspberry, english, and irish breakfast teas). I served B.L.Ts, avocado and cream cheese sandwiches, peanut butter and jelly mini-sandwiches, and Italian chicken subs--everything was mini! I also had scones (made by my friend/future sister-in-law Kirsten), and pasta salad! For dessert there was rainbow cake made by me and decorated by Kirsten--without whom there would have been no party. Seriously, she kept me calm, helped prep food, decorated my cake, and generally rocked my socks off!

Stay tuned for photos of my fantastic, wonderful, amazing, beautiful, stylish friends! Everyone came, everyone dressed well, everyone stayed, everyone brought liquor ;). I love my friends more so very much!
