Parties Parties Parties

This weekend was one of the busiest I've had in a long time. We had three birthday parties and a graduation. It was so much fun, but I'm so tired!

 First we had Baby D's 3rd birthday, even though he insists that it's his 5th birthday.

My camera died for the 2nd party, and then the third was at one of my favorite bars- Rock the Keys. It's such a fun place, one side is dueling pianos and the other side is a club. We celebrated my SIL D's birthday and all of us sang and danced all night long.

 

Then we celebrated J's graduation in style at The American Legion.

It was so much fun and it was great seeing all of our friends and family in one packed weekend. Now I just need another day to recover and I'll be set!

American Eagle Dress

F21 Striped Top

Target Mossimo Sandals

I've been wearing this dress for a few years and love it, it's so comfortable, but I wanted to mix it up today for work. I've seen mixed prints all over magazines and blogs and thought I'd give it a whirl myself. The Mr. didn't know what to think of it, but my mom said it was hip so I went with her opinion and strutted it through the office.

What do you think? Is mixing prints a do or don't?

HandM Dress

Nordstrom BP Cardi

RJ Graziano necklace (last seen in this post)

This is what I wore yesterday for work but had to do a sad self-potrait-in-the-mirror-with-a-cell pics. I loved how this looked, I love orange and thought it was a great pop of color on a simple outfit.

Another Great Guest "Book"

 

How stinking cute is this puzzle sign-in? I love. Martha Stewart thinks of everything! The puzzles are from Etsy shop Bella Puzzes. It's a little bit expensive, but if you can foot the bill...

Celeb Inspiration: Hailee Steinfeld

Ok, so I've talked about this before on LLP, but I believe that dressing for your age can be very difficult. Especially in HWood. Extra especially when you're 14 AND in HWood. Whew. I could only imagine your options, what people are telling you, and how you could feel when trying to choose a dress for an event. Little miss Hailee Steinfeld does it well though. So well, that Miu Miu has chosen her as their new face. Incredible isn't? Let's take a look at her best.


Young and Fun: These dresses are so pretty (well, except maybe the swan lake one) and totally appropriate for both the even and her age. They'e not too tight or revealing, accessorized well, and great cuts.

Chic in White: I love me some winter white. I love white all year round in fact. This girl's frocks, hair, and shoes are pure perfection in my eyes.

Sassy in Black: Also another great color that looks good all year round?? Black. Hailee keeps it interesting with beading, lace, and super cute hair. I love the middle look.

So are you on her bandwagon? Do you think she could be the next "It" girl?
