Friends, it was slow going this Monday. The weekend was a mix of work and play, gorgeous weather, birthdays to celebrate, and benefits to attend. It may have taken multiple cups of coffee to feel like a functioning human being, but it was well worth it. Considering the amount of time spent behind the computer lately, it’s amazing I still have somewhat acceptable social graces.

A few highlights:

- Friday lunch with photographer Collin Hughes. I’ve followed his work for a while and it was nice to finally connect in person. He snapped my photo for Any Meal, too.

- The Pink Carpet event at CRAVE on Friday night was a blast. The TC Style bloggers were out out in full force, rocking sock buns and bright pink lipstick. You can see the outfits I styled for the event here. I essentially wore the first outfit featured.

- Saturday was the most gloriously perfect day in MPLS, so I opted for a few hours outside with a book instead of tackling my email. Forgive me, please! Later that evening we celebrated the birth of my dear friend, Ally with sushi and a night out dancing.

- Sunday, I discovered one of the greatest breakfast dishes ever invented: Poutine with Fried Egg, served at Muddy Waters. Big win for me and my stomach.

Last week was one of the rougher one’s I’ve had in a while and I’m hoping this is a little more peaceful. Let’s make it a good one!

I don’t know how you do it. Season after season, you create looks that speak to both the girly-girl and tomboy inside of me. Thanks for giving me the courage (and vaildation) to let both of those girls hang out together. When you mixed beanie hats with frilly dresses, my heart nearly exploded! I’m totally with you on this one.

Sincerely,

The girl who wears beanies even when it’s well above 50 degrees

One of my favorite retailers ASOS.com asked me to participate in a little style feature to kick-start summer. A few bloggers and myself picked out a dress and styled it in our own way. Check out all the looks here. You can also shop what we’re wearing, and enter to win some great prizes, like a $500 giftcard.

This is a little different for Wit & Delight and I had fun wearing styling the dress. Now go get your shop on!

Oh denim, how I love thee. A true staple in my wardrobe, I can always count on my favorite pair of jeans. Alas, my very favorite pair, which I got deeply discounted from Gap, have seen better days. Thankfully I stumbled upon London-based MiH Jeans a few weeks ago. Let me tell you- they know how to do denim.


Enter the trendy high waisted, flare leg jean. For years not single flared pant leg was to be found. Thankfully a wider leg back, along with a curve-hugging, high waisted fit. This style looks great with a blazer or a tucked in silk blouse. What’s your favorite way to wear high waisted pants?


Jeans: MiH Marrakesh Jean
MiH is a denim-lovers haven. Each pair is made from luxuriously soft fabric and have been meticulously crafted to make your legs look killer. They also have a wide range of shades and styles, so you can pick your perfect blue to go with the perfect fit for you.

I hope you had a fun weekend. I spent most of my mine unplugged but hardly had a chance to relax with all the social events planned. Really feeling it today! I’ll be back this week with regular posts, but for the moment, check out the “Rainy Day Style” round up I pulled together for Minnesota Monthly’s Twin Cities Style blog. We’ve been enjoying some great storms lately and are scheduled to get some more this week! Gotta love spring in the Midwest.
