picasso at MOMA

Last night Kevin and I were lucky enough to attend the opening of Picasso: Guitars 1912 - 1914 at MOMA (thank you so much Jenna!).  It was a special members only event that our dear friend Jenna invited us to (she works at MOMA).  We had a lot of fun drinking free wine and cocktails while we watched all the hilarious artsy folks mingle.

I did not take any pictures at the event but I did snap a couple shots of my outfit before I left home.  

 Again I was home alone and had to make due with some crummy iPhone photos.

little owls

So I have to admit that I kinda copied this outfit.  Do you guys know Kendi from Kendi Everyday?  If not you are totally missing out because she is pretty awesome.  I promise you won't be able stop looking at her blog once you start.  Her style, wit and photographs are addicting.  Anyway, she wore an outfit last fall very similar to the one I wore the other night.  Her outfit was the reason I bought the dress.  The little owls on the dress are so cute!

I really love the way this outfit came together.  Sometimes I come up with an outfit in my head but when I actually put it on I hate it.  This time I was pleasantly surprised, I think it came out even better then I had imagined. 

It was the second time I have ever worn knee socks.  The whole idea of knee socks is really growing on me and I really love how they add another dimension to the lower half of my outfit. Can you make out the little owls on my dress?  They are too adorable!

 I really need to work on taking better photos.  I apologize for the crummy iPhone photos but I have been home alone the past couple times I have wanted to take outfit shots.

the Jen Loves Kev dress.

So I just had to snatch up the Jen Loves Kev dress from Modcloth after I saw Jen's post about becoming Modcloth's Blogger of the Moment - congrats Jen!!!  Seeing fashion bloggers style articles of clothing I wouldn't necessarily be drawn to has been really inspiring lately.  I was a little unsure about how the ruffles on the front of the dress would look on me.  But I gave the dress a try when it arrived in the mail and I instantly fell in love.

 I had to throw on an orange cardigan to add a pop of color because I decided to wear the dress with black tights.  Jen belted the dress when she wore it and I thought I just had to as well because it defines my waist.

I also tried wearing knee socks and I must say that they looked my cuter than I thought they would.

On another note I painted my nails bright purple on Friday, what an awesome way to brighten my mood:)

Sorry for the crappy photo quality, they really don't do the colors justice.

mud puddle boots.

When I was little I used to call my rubber rain boots "muddle puddle boots."  These are my big girl mud puddle boots.

give me neon.

All I have to say is that these are the greatest shoes I have ever seen/owned.  I am head over heels in love!  Who can resist neon pink, neon orange and neon yellow... not me!

you're so vain.

So sometimes I like to take pictures of myself for a little confidence boost... does anyone else like to do that?  These are from a couple weeks ago.

I am coming up with a little challenge for myself this summer.  I will do a post about it in a couple weeks, after my birthday weekend.  I know you will be on the edge of your seat until I tell you...

just peachy.

I got this dress about a month ago and have been waiting for the perfect time to wear it.  Kevin got home from Sri Lanka on Saturday evening looking very sexy with his scruffy face (he didn't shave once while he was away) and we decided to go out for some Italian food.  I decided to wear this dress to dinner since it was a special occasion.  Of course I put Kevin right to work taking outfit shots for me within a couple hours of his homecoming.  He is so patient with me and I love him to death.  I am so happy to have him safely home with me!

The back is the best part of this dress... so subtly sexy.  

Dress: Mink

technicolor.

I absolutely LOVE this dress!  Everyone knows how much I love color and this dress is not lacking in that department at all.  The only problem is that the dress is a little too long as are the straps.  I make due and wear it anyway but I am going to have to suck it up and have it altered sometime soon.

Of course I also have to showcase my favorite Jeffrey Campbell wedges.

Dress: S-Twelve

ain't no party like a HoodHouse party.

Last Friday night Claudia and I decided to go to the HoodHouse party.  Let me start with a little background... the HoodHouse is where Shamir, Spencer and Ian live (Claudia and I went to Hotchkiss with them) and it was Spencer's birthday on Friday so they threw a little party.  Claudia and I got together at my apartment to get dressed, eat some pizza and drink some wine before heading to Harlem.  I had her take a couple outfit shots of me in my new dress.

 Dress: Eight Sixty

Belt: Housing Works thrift store

Shoes: Steve Madden

She even let me get a shot of her. (I have to go her outfit details so I have add them)

Then we did one together:)

The party was such a blast and we got to see so many Hotchkiss people!  I am so happy we went... we got to dance dance dance.  

 

 It was such a great night and I even got to have a sleepover with Claudia because it was the last night before Kevin returned - Yay for girlie sleepovers! 

dinner date.

Kevin left me to go to Sri Lanka for 10 days... boo. We went out for a romantic dinner date on Saturday night before he left. I already miss him too much!
