Believe in Love, Asparagus and Stockton

It's official, I have a new favorite outfit. Of course I stole the idea from someone else, but I love it all the same. Comfortable, adorable, a tad whimsical and WAY out of my normal fashion zone. I'm obsessed. 

The best thing about it - besides the mushy message, of course - is that the shoes can be swapped out with virtually anything. I had booties on before the light bulb went off that these mint babies would be perfect. I also thought about bright yellow wedges, nude cage heels, cobalt flats and even my cute new gray converse that my sister made me buy. The possibilities are endless depending on the mood you're in and the look you're going for. Such a fab outfit I might even have to rock it tonight at a country bar. Why not?

Oh, I almost forgot. This weekend is the Stockton Asparagus Festival. For those of you not in the know, this event is Stockton's one redeeming quality. The ONE THING that makes Stockton shine a little brighter and stand a little taller, if only for a weekend. Come on out. It's going to be warm and sunny and there's a wine tent. What more could you ask for?

I'll be volunteering for the first time in my 32 years, so look for me doling out asparagus ice cream tomorrow in the glorious heat.

Have a great weekend!

Pop O' Mint and Some Seriously Hot Wine

I snatched these mint heels up during the Sole Society 50% off sale and I'm pretty sure they're my favorite buy so far this year. I've been getting a little bored with my style lately and this pop of color is a perfect start to remedy that. 

I found this inspiration outfit (right) on Pinterest and used it as my guide. I'm not ready to dive into the deep end of the color pool just yet, so the simple black and white outfit was perfect. To dress it up a bit for the office (the shirt is pretty sheer), I added a tweed jacket. I took the pic of myself before my jewelry was on, but the gold really works well with the gold piping on the shoes. I wish I had some similar colored earrings to tie it all together. Hmm, looks like a shopping trip is in order!

In other news, Brad & Angie have branched out into the wine world. I'm not really a fan of those two, but I am a fan of wine and who am I to discriminate against those who produce it? Reports are that the duo was very involved in the process as they own the French Chateau where it was made. Dubbed the "Miraval Rose 2012", their first wine is being sold at a surprisingly low $23 per bottle. Good luck getting your hands on it, though, as it was pretty much sold out in a few hours of its online release. There's a chance we could find it in restaurants in the near future, so if I happen to come across it you'll be the first to know.

 Have a great weekend!
