Pinterest: Outfit Love

July 25, 2011 by

Hi my name is AK and I’m a Pinterest addict.  This is a recent development in my life, so bear with me as I show you this week all the things I’ve fallen in love with on Pinterest.

Today I’m starting with outfits.  Seeing all these outfits gives me a ton of inspiration to shop my closet and put things together that I normally wouldn’t.  It also makes me long for fall/winter so I can start wearing my beloved cardigans again.

  1. mustard cardigan/striped top/light blue shorts
  2. coral top/aqua necklace (if you are not currently following Kendi Everyday I IMPLORE you to start, I love her outfits and love her humor)
  3. grey top/gold statement necklace (I found this via Ms Cardigan Junkie herself who you should also be following)
  4. aqua cardigan/coral and white striped top
  5. black and white top/turquoise necklace/ruffle cardigan
  6. burnt orange cardigan/gingham top/leopard shoes
  7. blue top/orange scarf/fun earrings
  8. grey tee/orange cardigan/turquoise jewelry/tan bag

Are you on Pinterest? Have you found an outfit combo you love lately, do tell!

Are you an Eco-ist

March 24, 2011 by

1/4 of the Tipsy Society, AK,  brought me a purse back from a getaway in Mexico one year.  Its a spitting image of  these wristlets below (except made with candy wrappers).  I wear when I really need to spice up a solid tee.

When I found the wristlet at the store, I kept looking and they have some really amazing pieces from gently used material.

  1. Recycled Record Cuff
  2. Magazine Coin Purse
  3. Confetti Wristlet
  4. Bar Code Wristlet

Christmas Wishlist: AK Edition

December 14, 2010 by

I had sort of a hard time thinking about what I would want for Christmas this year….insane right? Last year I went to town on a dream list and this year I could barely come up with a  realistic list!! What’s wrong with me!!  So here’s my short list of goodies I’d love, I’ve left off boring things like new towels, a new duvet cover and a new set of drinking glasses…I didn’t want you to fall asleep while browsing!

  1. Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner, Brookstone-My mom has one similar to this and it gets the job done.  Kind of a set it and forget it kind of jewelry cleaner.
  2. Present Day Pearl Hoops, Sundance-These are fantastic and would be a great go with everything type of earring.
  3. Jackie Cardigan, J.Crew-I love this cardigan and have it in a few colors thanks to the outlet near my house.  I could sure use it in cerise, navy or dried parsley.
  4. Travel Envelope, Abas Accessories-I end up having a ton of paper stuff free flowing in my purse and I’d love a leather envelope to keep it in.  This would fit the bill!
  5. Michele Silicon Watch Strap, Nordstrom-I have a Michele watch and would LOVE a silicon band…any color would do but this green sure is fun!
  6. Iced Blueberry Ring, Lolo’s Rings-I have a ring from this story and have been eyeing this one ever since.
  7. PixelSkin for iPhone, Speck-I need a new case and I’m loving this green one.
