Gap Kids Colorpop Super Skinny Jeans

I was browsing the Gap Kid's section and found these colorful pants. I love this minty green color for spring! Shopping the kid's section is tricky, but I sometimes have some great luck. I rolled up this sassy pant for a more tapered look.

Speaking of younger vibes -- have you heard Justin Bieber's new single Boyfriend? I keep listening to the song on repeat because I secretly like it.  I think this means I should just stay in the kid section forever...  FAIL.

JCrew Delaney Eyelet Dress: A Casual Affair

When I was little, I liked to preserve my favorite things for use on the perfect occasion.  For instance, I had these Pochacco stickers that I was obsessed with, but would never use because I treasured them so much and didn't want to waste them on my school notebooks and papers.

Sometimes I'm like that with my clothes, too. I keep waiting for the perfect occasion to wear them so they won't be "wasted."  The perfect occasion doesn't come around all that often, so some of my favorite pieces, like this classic sun dress, go unworn.  Luckily, clothes--unlike Sanrio stickers--are more than one-time use.

Pretty Woman - Polka Polka

I found this dress in Los Angeles and it totally reminded me of the dress worn in Pretty Woman. Pan to me fixing the divots in the grass.... :) This warm weather makes this fun, flowing dress an easy choice!

In actuality, I'm in front of a pretty amazing doughnut shop -- The Doughnut Vault, a hidden gem, in the fine city of Chicago. Ailyn has been here, too! Check out her experience here.

Denim & Lace

I spent a lovely spring afternoon in Chicago meeting up with an old friend.  We even grabbed a treat at Garrett's, and lucky us--we didn't even have to wait in line!  I love the Chicago mix, though I know cheese and caramel don't sound like a match made in heaven, but wait until you try this out!  If you're not from around the Chicago area, you can actually order Garrett's online.  Check it out here.
