Queen of All Colors

“I’ve been 40 years discovering that the queen of all colours was black.” 

— Pierre-Auguste Renoirbody suit 5

 

Raise your hand if “does this come in black?” is your most asked question when shopping. While everyone’s hand but Anna Wintour’s is probably raised, this color is the queen of all colors. “It looks better in black” is my fashion mantra and this bodysuit from Nasty Gal is no exception. #Nastygalsdoitbetter

Sidenote: Does any one else feel uncomfortable when using Nasty Gal’s hashtag? Asking for a friend.

Wish List : Bedding

There are two reasons that we have bedding on the mind today. First and honestly the real reason, is that we are just having one of those days where we would love to go back home and curl up in bed with a good book or movie. It has already been an exciting and busy week, and we could use a little rest. Second, I currently have a comforter on our new bed in our new home sans duvet cover and I have been scowering the ‘nets in order to pick out juuuust the right one. Today might be the day that I pull the trigger! We’ll seee……. Does your bedding need an upgrade?

Summer Heat + FILA

“Sometimes the ordinary things could be made extraordinary, simply by doing them with the right people.”

Nicholas Sparks FILA 1

It has been so unbearably hot these past few weeks and it has been so tempting to just hole up in our air conditioned living room and binge watch Netflix, Hulu and HBO with a bottle of wine.  (Don’t get me wrong, there has been plenty of that )  However, there are a few summer traditions that our friends have that we do our best to repeat every year, regardless of the desert conditions and the humid Virginia air.

Rise Up in Ruffles

“The day will be what you make it, so rise like the sun, and burn.” – William C. Hannan

asos ruffle 3

I know I need a mental reset when I find myself in the habit of getting out of bed 5 minutes before I need to be out the door in the morning. On these kinds of mornings, I haphazardly hop out of bed anything but gracefully and (somehow) wash my face, brush my teeth, throw on an outfit, and carry my makeup bag out the door in a matter of minutes. In these instances, saying that I start my day flustered would be the understatement of the century.

Year 1 as a Piersol

“Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing at all.” 
Helen KellerBody Suit 4

*warning:semi-sappy post ahead*  Today marks John & my first wedding anniversary and the year has seriously flown by. Our first year was full of so many new and fun adventures, including, as most of you know by now, buying a house!  (See above photo for my exact feelings on the subject).  We decided to turn the whole weekend into a mini celebration here in Richmond, since we weren’t able to make it back up to The Homestead.

Make Me Wear Blush In #mycalvins

“Do something wonderful, people may imitate it.” – Albert Schweitzer
 calvin klein 1

My mom told me “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” I can’t tell you how many times growing up. Not because she wanted to, but because her little girl seemed to have her panties in a wad anytime someone “copied” her.

What a narcissistic kid I was.

With age, this immature pattern of thinking has changed and now I find myself intentionally copying other people. Success leaves clues, as Tony Robbins has drilled into my head, and that is what I am always looking for. Whether it be a life-hack I learn from one of my favorite people, Danielle LaPorte or a personal style-ism from one of my favorite bloggers like Happily Grey, I am always on the prowl to learn something new or as my younger self would say “copy” success.

Summer Set

Blue Set 6I am just on top of the world on this July Monday. Even though I’m still nursing a bit of a hangover from our big party on Saturday night, I am feeling so very thankful and lucky. We introduced all of our friends and family to our new home and I am just overwhelmed by the love and support we have around us. 50 or more people from all different aspects of our lives showed up to help us stock the bar, play some cornhole and mostly just chat and carry on for hours and and hours. It was a great excuse to get all of our different friend groups together on a hot, HOT summer night.  If I do say so myself, we threw a hell of a party!
