<img alt="White skirt and over the knee boots" src="http://i.imgur.com/3Xx8r4R.jpg?1" /> <br />
<br />
Recently we took a mini road trip down to Sarasota to spend a morning at the Ringling Estate. It’s the former home of the circus magnate, and is full of Venetian Gothic architecture, a rose garden, and winding pathways crowded by old banyan trees.<br />
<br />
The Ca d'Zan is definitely my favorite part... It's a lavish house, built as a testament to the roaring twenties. It overlooks deep blue water, as far as the eye can see. The entire outside terrace is floored with an array of different colored marble, even the dock is made of marble. I just wanted to roll my eyes back in my head and scream "eleganzaaaaaaaaa" over all the opulence.<br />
After Ringling, we grabbed lunch at an Amish restaurant called Yoders, and it was probably the best fried chicken/okra/mashed potatoes/pie I've ever had. So good that I didn't even mind all the old ladies acting scandalized by my streetwalker boots!<br /><br />

Went on a lovely Taco date yesterday, after realizing that our normal spot was closed (wahh!). Luckily, this place was right around the corner from us, hiding in a parking lot behind a nightclub. <i>I know </i>that sounds beyond sketchy, but this place had glowingly high ratings on Google, so we decided to try it. Not only was the food amazing and glorious, but they also had like 6 flavors of agua fresca... which I am obsessed with. I ended up with the pineapple flavor, which was delicious and even had bits of pineapple pulp throughout.<br />
<br />
I'm normally a lover of swanky restaurants that have gleaming marble bartops and an extensive wine list, where I can swill white Burgundies and cackle derisively to my heart's content. That said, sometimes you just need a good chow down in a no frills atmosphere. <br />

The 70s totally got it right when it comes to middle parts, bell bottoms, and disco. I definitely channeled that vibe into this outfit. I love the burnt sienna color and giant bow on this vintage blouse. Paired with this rad denim mini dress, it could only be improved with the addition of my new Derek Lam Astor sunnies. The lavender shades are perfect to break up the monotony of my typically-all-black wardrobe.<br />
<br />
I'm one of those people that has a love-hate relationship with the middle part (er, with my hair, in general). I love the way it looks on the off-duty Scandinavian goddesses of the world, but 9/10 times I try to train my hair to part that way, it turns into a sad <a href="http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/5600000/Addams-Family-Cousin-Itt-addams-family-5684028-356-288.jpg" target="_blank">Cousin Itt</a> situation. Luckily, someone left a bottle of Aveda's <a href="http://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=386252625&pid=uid6225-32638535-88" target="_blank">Air Control hairspray</a> at my house, and that along with my beloved Agave <a href="http://www.sephora.com/oil-treatment-P378709?skuId=1521731" target="_blank">hair oil</a>, has done wonders to tame my hair.</div>

Currently daydreaming about all the fun river trips and beach days to come this summer. My winter wardrobe is feeling pretty stale, and I can't wait to refresh my wardrobe with fun summer dresses, lace up sandals, and mules galore! I'm especially keeping my eye out for a tiered, off the shoulders dress like this Dolce & Gabbana number: </div>

and sometimes they make it rain Dior. In one day -- at two different
shops -- I found a gorgeous 1950s polka dot Dior blouse, and then a
stunning, black tweed 2 piece Christian Dior suit. In my size. (pause

I definitely have some plans to update the blazer with new buttons (I'm thinking gaudy and gold?) and maybe crop the trousers a little bit further.

More often than not, I find myself the advocate for style over comfort ("I don't want to carry a coat tonight, so I'll just freeze lol." and never ever taking off my shoes at prom '07) but cold weather totally rewires my brain, and all I want to wear is sneakers and chunky knit sweaters. </div>

This outfit is all of my favorite basics rolled into one lazy outfit. The perfect high rise Levi's, dope ass Nikes, and a structured hat to make it look like I tried. Anytime I get to tuck my hair into a turtleneck like a chic Scandinavian is really a win, though. </div>

The day flew by in a beautiful, surreal blur. All the clichéd things people tell you about getting married are true, by the way. The best advice I received was 1) Do whatever you want. This day is about celebrating you and your betrothed in whatever way suits you best. Wear a black lace wedding dress (I almost did!), play your favorite weird 90s emo song (my friends had their first dance to a song called "<a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwivvZiunOvKAhVK4CYKHfGjCbcQtwIIJjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DXg8Ckamh8Gw&usg=AFQjCNHDye8Ap3OLVV1vXx2fwhOt73iwew&sig2=B9rKmrMpWvvmIae3Ck6gKg&bvm=bv.113943665,d.eWE" target="_blank">Putting the Dog to Sleep</a>" by The Antlers.. it was sad, quirky, and so romantically perfect for them), and skip any traditions that don't resonate with you. </div>

For my hair, I wanted a dark, romantic look inspired by Marcel waves. My stylist, <a href="http://www.tribecasalon.com/staff/ybor-staff/" target="_blank">Corrine</a>, was a total doll who understood my vision. It's so important to find people that "get" you. Weddings are stressful enough without having to pull up a thousand Pinterest images while vehemently gesticulating to get your point across.<br />

The pièce de résistance of any wedding is the dress, of course. Any bride can tell you about all the long nights they spent hunched over a computer, scrolling through endless white gowns. Or trampling/being trampled at wedding dress designer sales. Personally, I always knew I would wear a vintage dress with a bateau neck and long sleeves... and let me tell you, I lost hope quite a few times. I ended up stumbling across my dream dress on Etsy! It was definitely a gamble... what if it doesn't fit!? what if there are weird stains/smells? But in my case it paid off. I brought the dress to a tailor to put a hidden zipper in the back. Another friend of mine did this, so genius! All those little buttons take forever to deal with, adding a hidden zipper kept the illusion of the buttons, with the convenience of the zip.<br />

For makeup, my MUA and Man of Honor, Chris, did a moody, 1920s starlette inspired look. We used several shades of burgundy eye shadow from MAC, along with their Viva Glam III lipstick (I am obsessed...still wearing it after the wedding). For drama we did false lashes from Sephora's "Luxe" <a href="http://www.sephora.com/luxe-false-lash-P397401?skuId=1698331" target="_blank">collection</a>. They totally mimicked the effect of mink lashes.</div>

Basically living in these vintage, cropped Levi's. Wore this outfit to run a few errands, stop by <a href="http://www.tampaindieflea.com/" target="_blank">Indie Flea</a>,
and attend a birthday party (so much good food, omg. Deviled eggs with
candied bacon, pickled grapes, and panko crusted goat cheese with

Got a little dressy for an outdoor wedding yesterday -- I always have a hard time getting dolled up while being weather appropriate in the winter months (hence the open toe boots, ha). This floral dress is super light weight, so the vintage menswear wool coat -- which is pretty much the gray version of <a href="http://milkwhitemoon.blogspot.com/2016/01/sweater-weather.html" target="_blank">this post</a> -- was a lifesaver.

If you're anything like me, I'm sure by this point you're thinking, "alright lady, make with the boots already!" Unfortunately, I scored these at Nordstrom Rack at least 6 months ago, and they're nowhere to be found online. But fear not! I've picked out some perfect substitutes. I'm especially feeling that tan suede pair for summer....</div>

Some fun poloroids from my weekend trip to Savannah, Georgia. It's one
of the oldest US cities, founded in 1733. Full of beautifully manicured
city squares, antebellum architecture, ghosts, and trendy food/drinks,
Savannah is an amazing place to spend a few days. </div>

Celebrating our Floridian cold snap with multiple layers and lattes. I have at least 3 of these oversized men's wool sport coats... I love them casually layered over pretty much every outfit ever. Not to mention they're all over the place at every thrift store. Next on my agenda is finding an awesome rust or mustard colored one!<i> </i></div>

I may be a total Byredo fan girl, but this lotion is legitimately amazing. I hardly ever remember to moisturize my hands, but this smell is so exotic and comforting that I have almost used up the entire tube.<br />

this <a href="http://www.bhcosmetics.com/products/flawless-brow-trio">brow trio</a> from BH Cosmetics is a lifesaver... don't get me wrong, I love my Anastasia Brow Wiz as much as the next girl... but this is good for a messier, natural brow. Plus it only costs FIVE dollars.<br />

I love me a good highlight. I bounce between <a href="http://www.lushusa.com/Feeling-Younger-Skin-Tint/03708,en_US,pd.html">this</a> one from Lush and <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/13848/372/Products/Makeup/Face/Multi-Use/Pigment#/shade/Vanilla_">this</a> one from MAC. The Lush highlighter is more mellow for a day vibe. The MAC one is a total shimmer bomb, exclusively for a bare face, bold brows, and red lips.<br />

Lippy du jour: I'm obsessed with cherry Babylips, and this new <a href="http://nightshiftwaxcompany.com/products/all-natural-vegan-lip-balm">lip balm pot</a> from Nightshift Wax Company. It smells like the juicy, ripe strawberries and moisturizing without being too shiny or glossy. <br />

how dainty and precious is this bracelet from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/StonedandCharming">Stoned and Charming</a>? Marissa is such a doll, and makes gorgeous, simple gem stone centric pieces. I've been eyeing <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/252895539/dainty-herkimer-diamond-accent-layering?ref=shop_home_active_2">this</a> and <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/253159739/dainty-moon-charm-necklace-layered-coin?ref=related-7">that</a> to add to my collection.

How apropos to start the new year with a new blog. My one and only resolution this year is to find more creative outlets -- </div>

I was a dedicated style blogger many moons ago (big ups to all the friends and roommates that put up with non stop outfit photos) </div>

There's something about blogging - while inherently narcissistic - there is so much beauty in the curated diaries of style addicts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So cheers to the new year, ambitions, and to you, lovely reader.</div></center>
