mimosa spring

I haven't recently liked any of what Haylee Steinfeld has been wearing on the red carpet, but I have to say she hit a home run at the Met Gala on Monday night in Miu Miu:

Her choice was very fitting, as half of the evening's tribute was to Miuccia Prada herself.

I wanted to showcase some new ASOS dresses that have the same essence of the Miu Miu dress above, and appealed to me because of the springy/lightweight/ethereal feeling they exude:

ASOS Kaftan dress

I love this dress because it has a vintage feel-- sort of 1920's-30's era, although I'd wear it with boots, as opposed to the heels above;P

Pink Floral Applique Dress

This precious pink dress is baby-doll sweet with a sheer organza overlay. Ultra-feminine.

Embroidered Sheer Mesh Midi Dress

Again, a dress I wouldn't style with heels. Flats would have been a better choice here...however, I do love it so. It's very young-girl but I think it's absolutely charming.

Appliqued Antique Dress

This one might be my favorite out of the bunch. I love the gray and pink together...such a magnificent color pairing. The applique over the sheer mesh fabric is lovely, and perfect for spring!

becka told me the story of this american eagle denim jacket: apparently one night at the hat factory she found it on the floor next to the trash can in the ladies' room. who leaves a $100+ jean jacket alone to die? idk. but for becka it was a score! she waited a bit until everyone had left the room, as a courtesy to the owner...but the jacket was never claimed. she took it home with her ( after washing at the local laundromat of course!). Now she can call herself a proud member of the Denim Days Club.

she also graced my spirit with an expression of her excitement for visiting the Hardywood brewery on Ownby Ln. for the release of their newest creation, Bourbon Barrel Cru:
