Best of 2012: Instagram Style

2013 has already produced a few really life changing events. Looking back at my favorite low key moments of 2012 has grounded me and brought peace. I'm excited to see what big and little things this next year holds.

I went blonde via St. Louis hair extraordinaire Kristen Linares.

STL Venue: Get Weird at Plush St. Louis

STL has no shortage of great places to hang, but Plush has been topping my happy hour / brunch / Sunday funday lists lately. If you like yummy food with Southern flair and can handle an above average calorie intake, I strongly encourage you to order a side of biscuits and gravy with your country fried chicken wings. In contrast, my kir royale was super yum. Fortunately, multiple floors of oddities allow you to get weird and take fun photos.

My Style: Girls Day at Plush STL Featuring Clr-Mnstr

In the spirit of my Local Holiday Giveaways, I decked out in Clr-Mnstr to show you just how versatile this trendy downtown boutique really is (Actually, it was completely on accident - I just love all these pieces). From the Jeffrey Campbell/Nasty Gal obsessed to the Zara type and everything in between (yes, even the J.Crew loving Mint Julep can't visit without making a purchase), I promise you won't walk out of Clr-Mnstr empty handed.

The Fox & Gypsy and Lace & Dagger ladies joined me at Plush St. Louis for an afternoon of outfit photos and super spicy bloody marys. (And later, an evening of local craft beer and Jenga at Urban Chestnut Brewing Company.) Here's a few shots of my Clr-Mnstr heavy ensemble, all taken by Brittany Bowers of Lace & Dagger.

My Style: Sunday Funday & New St. Louis Vintage

Sunday Funday was spent with fellow fashion bloggers Emily and Danica of Fox & Gypsy and Brittany of Lace&Dagger. We raided Plush St. Louis and took advantage of their spacious, vintage environment and laid back attitude. Bloody Marys were consumed. Photos were taken. These particular shots are credited to my babe friend Brittany. (P.S. Eight pair of Bakers Shoes made their way to the shoot.)

STL Fashion: Spring into December

Oh hayyyyy high 70s! Why yes, I would love to break out my favorite pleated maxi for a cute, casual outfit. And what better way to celebrate April December than a long walk with one of your BFFs and a glass of red wine?

Black pleated sheer maxi on December 2nd? Yes, please.
