just a look was all it took ❤



i was instantly drawn to this pretty velvet number because of the delicate lace collar! i wore this for a fun miami saturday filled with friends, food & the lion king! here's some peeks in our building-- it is the loveliest building with the most gorgeous lighting.

this weekend we had a little housewarming get together at our new home. it is so fun sharing my favorite place with my favorite people, and i even got to play a little bit of dress-up with dany and tatiana! put a bunch of girls in a room filled with vintage clothes and hats and i guess that's what happens! especially when you throw some "cake" flavored cocktails into the mix! yes--- i said cake. :) i wish we all lived in one city so we could all be friends-- imagine how fun it would be to have a big cupcake and clothes filled party with all of your blogger friends. UHH-mazing.

p.s. matt and i are grossly addicted to parks and rec. all i want to do is watch more episodes.

I'm actually watching Parks and Rec as I right this - I'm so addicted to that show it's not even funny. And I love the dress - the little lace collar is really cute.

Ana said...

This is so so pretty! I usually try to stay away from a lot of black during the summer - I get enough of it during fall and winter! :P - but I would definitely wear this dress; it is so sweet with that white lacy collar.

Happy to see that you're enjoying your new place so much. Wishing you a great week ahead! :)

Leah said...

Nancy said...

this is such a great look. I love your dress, with those booties and the hat! Everything works without feeling like you're being "gothic" (because of the all black). Love!
