Loving this color combination — and the detailing on those grey heels.

turquoise rain boots
These are my turquoise rain boots. I wore them all day on Monday because it was raining cats and dogs in Omaha. I wear them nearly every time it rains, but, truth be told, I don’t even like them very much. They’re an awkward height and, after five or so years of wear and tear, they’re scuffed and the shiny coating is cracking. Ironically, I receive more compliments on them than any other pair of shoes I own. Like, strangers stop me on the street in the Old Market or behind me in line at Subway to tell me that they like my boots. Little do they know that what I really want are a pair of these classic wellies.
pile it high
My sister is getting married Memorial Day weekend, and I need to start thinking about how I want to wear my hair. (I was hoping that the Oscars last month would’ve provided some red carpet inspiration, but, alas, it didn’t.) I’m currently obsessed with this updo — those bangs! that red hair! I won’t be dyeing my hair for the occasion (although red hair would be a lovely contrast to the navy halter-neck I’ll be wearing), but perhaps I could get blunt bangs and pile the rest of my hair into a big poof.

15 to 30: looking and feeling girlie
Currently Exciting/Inspiring Me: Femininity
The new Chanel campaign for Coco Rouge features a perfectly polished Vanessa Paradis, who was chosen, in part, because she embodies “modern elegance.” I’m obsessed with her overall look in the ad, especially those pinks lip! She oozes femininity in the photo, something I’m currently craving. I’m so sick of wearing jeans and solid colored sweaters everyday! Bring on florals, ruffles, dresses, heels and, of course, ladylike makeup.

15 to 30: dressing creatively
Currently Exciting/Inspiring Me: Fashion Blogs
My Google Reader is full of decor, paper and personal blogs, but a friend recently introduced me to Corks and Caftans, a wine/fashion blog by a husband and wife duo, and now I’m inspired to find more fashion blogs to follow. When I was in middle school, I kept a diary of my outfits to make sure I didn’t repeat a look, but over the years I’ve gotten significantly more lazy in my wardrobe choices. Reading Carey’s posts about her daily outfits makes me want to dress more creatively.
If you’ve got a great fashion blog to recommend, please leave a comment below!
