My Diagonal Cardigan



Siggghhh, I'm so tired tonight!  I couldn't bare to get off of the couch and show off my mismatched pajama ensemble, so I opted to post a weekend outfit from a few weeks ago.  This is one of the softest sweaters that I have, and I love its quirkiness.  The button front is actually diagonal, but it's hard to tell from these photos.  I bought this in a little shop in Hong Kong when I visited during my senior year of college.  What an amazing city! ....and I love wearing a piece of clothing that reminds me of those great memories.

Check back in tomorrow for my very first guest blogger post!  Ashley from Flats to Flip Flops will be visiting, and you can read my guest post on her blog!

Any lovely newlyweds out there with some advice?  I've been following The Knot's "to-do" list as a timeframe, but I'd love to hear about how you stayed on track!

The Perfect Oxford Shirt




I just picked up Gap's new "perfect oxford" shirt, and boy is it perfect.  So many options for layering... and perfect for every season.

Its 100%-super-soft cotton makes me want to frolic through my giant fancy closet like all of those celebrities in the cotton commercials.  Which could happen, if I actually had one of those giant fancy closets.... and some celebrity status.
