rose tint my world...

There is nothing more feminine than the color pink...especially a soft version of the hue. Pink roses evoke a charming and gentle vibe that's decidedly ladylike. When I feel girly I reach for one floral element and pair with pink, beige or cream. To keep the look from being too precious I add a bold red lip or my brass knuckle pendant necklace for kicks.

It's a very exciting day for me as this little blog is now registered with Independent Fashion Bloggers! I'm happy to be a new member of the IFB community and hope to learn so much more about style blogging. Maybe I'll even make it to the conference next year...eeeee!

And, if you haven't been able to tell from my last two posts, I'm now obsessed with Polyvore...I might never get off this computer...

I had an idea...

This summer a tweet was sent out by the Indy Film Fest about a limited edition poster created by Indianapolis based People for Urban Progress. I clicked the link to see the poster and bought it instantly. I had just moved to Indiana and was feeling this exact sentiment. I have yet to hang the poster but I really love reading it.

Today, the poster just really spoke to me and I finally checked out the website for People for Urban Progress...UMMM, they kick some serious ass! I am all for their mission and would love to see them grow and to inspire others to do the same. Coming across groups like PUP gives me great hope for a fresh and modern future...

The poster is no longer available (maybe they'll do another run) but they sell other really cool shit on Etsy.

Missoni for Target...

Today on INsight on Indiana News Center I dished on all things Missoni for Target with hosts Emilie and Charity. While it's slim pickings at Target stores and online by now we still had fun talking about one of the hottest fall trends.

Check out my segments online:

Fall Fashion & Missoni for Target Intro
We talk about not being a slave to trends as well as how to go quickly from gym to running errands. There's no reason to completely change just to grab milk on the way home. Just tweak your gym look a tad by throwing a blouse or tunic over your yoga pants, exchange trainers for flats and you're good to go.

Missoni for Target clothes and accessories
Yes, most everything sold out within one day but that doesn't mean you have to miss out on the whole look. I feel confident colorful chevron and zig zag clothing and decor will be arriving in many stores rather quickly. The popularity of this affordable release at Target will definitely inspire other brands to follow suit...

Missoni for Target home decor
The home decor items were my favorites of the entire collection. The dishes, media storage boxes and toss pillow were just the splash of color my home needed this fall.
