Silks, crop tops & banjos

Monday, March 19, 2012

Top: H&M
Skirt: Banjo & Matilda*
Necklace: ? from Rikochet Resale
 Earrings: Swarovski
Bracelet: JewelMint* and Etsy
Rings: Peoples Jewellers
 
This beautiful silk skirt (Riviera Maxi Skirt to be exact) above was sent to me by Lizzie at Australian company, Banjo & Matilda. I cannot wait to slide on sandals and take a stroll in the summer sun after slathering on SPF50 obviously and wear this skirt. It's so beautiful and the easiest item to dress up or down. It's going to be in my wardrobe for a long, long time. 

Today, I'm back to the grind and heading into work shortly. I had a crazy busy weekend but had a blast trying out new restaurants and visiting with the in laws. It was so hot yesterday I had to set up our air conditioner (21 degrees on March 17th? That's a record high for that date) which was strange to do so early in the year, but 100% necessary. I couldn't imagine washing my hair and busting out the blow dryer in the warm, mugginess that was my apartment yesterday afternoon.

This week, I've got lots of posts lined up for you and am looking forward to a week full of new episodes of all my favourite shows - so you can expect a ton of tweets as well. I had a great time chatting on #bbloggers yesterday and discovered a bunch of new, awesome blogs. It's going to be great checking out a bunch of new blogs aside from my regular reads. The one downside is that more blogs means more cravings to shop for spring clothing... but I'll do my best to hold back for a little while longer! Every year, when I buy things early, the best things come out a few weeks later and I really regret buying the first round of clothes!

If you have a blog, leave your link in a comment so I can check it out!

      Just checked out your blog - I'm a recovering nail biter. It's a horrible habit and has taken me YEARS to kick.

      Funny you should mention jean shorts - I might have snapped a few extra shots wearing an Abercrombie cardigan and high waisted denim shorts! Great minds think alike. ;)

    1. Thank you! The hair style was really just me not washing my hair for a few days to keep from damaging it too badly after I had it highlighted (went WAY too dark trying ombre and now on the road to recovery).

      I use a Linea Pro flat iron to curl it - definitely recommend you try it out!

    1. Everything always seems affordable, until you realize you want 10000 new things and then the affordability factor totally disappears!
