dreams of warmer weather

Congraaaaatulations to Josy of My Pretty-Pink Journal, the gorgeous vintage ring from Ande Mönster is yours! Thanks all for entering, and don't forget you can get 15% off your order with the code ZIPPED.

Last week, I finally received my February Free People catalog in the mail (still remembering the buzz the January catalog created in the blog world!) and I've been flipping through daily, just when I need an escape from reality. These are some of my favorite looks from Meadow, Ginger, Candy, and Lou.


I love how the first two sections of the catalog are bright and cheerful, and the next two sections have a such a different color tone; they feel so ethereal. 


Free People might be a favorite clothing brand, but I have a soft spot for Modcloth dresses! My goal this year is to get a Modcloth dress. I don't know why I never have! I shop there more than once a week and always drool over the pretty dresses...I really want to get one for summer.
Modcloth

These are perfect paired with the shorter heels that I've been seeing everywhere. How do you guys feel about the low heel that's making it's way in?

I hope you all have a perfect Valentine's Day! I love this holiday, even though I have no reason to...I just like all the cute hearts and lace and pretty colors. Even if you hate this holiday for whatever reason, do something you love!

Coffee time. And check out Youtube's Live Runway to see shows from NYFW! I was up at 7 for Carolina Herrera today :)

  10. I just got my FP catalog over the weekend too and immediately fell in love with the pleated maxi skirt on the cover! I haven't tried the maxi skirt trend yet, so I don't know if it will work for my body, but if it does, this skirt is number one on my wishlist! Also, I love the modcloth dresses you've selected! I've never bought anything either, but I'm always browsing the website like you said, so I think it's time for us to take the plunge! :D

  16. I seriously always love your sense of style Chels..you're going to be an AMAZING stylist.
    And, couldn't agree more about the Free People February mag, i love those shots! & esp my fave was the ethereal tones.
    Also, I'm so excited for shorter wedge heels too! & I need to invest in a modcloth dress for summer too, have you seen Gary Pepper Vintage's dresses too lately? I'm going to need to start a savings fund, wanna join in? ;) lol.
    hope you had a lovely Valentine's Day girl!!

    <3, Kathleen.

  17. The pics are amazing... Can't for the spring to come! The modcloth-dresses are really to die for! And I'm a big fan of high heels, but I like the lower heels too! They're sooo much more comfy!

  24. I loooove the ethereal look... it is just so beautiful and fresh for the spring. I'm also happy about the lower heel.. I mean I think super high heels are really glam, but I also don't find them to be the most practical, especially since I walk a lot. But I've been haunting the Free People and ModCloth websites these days, since I'm preparing myself to get into the warmer weather fashion mood.. I can't take it anymore!! ;P
