Hi readers!

Here's another casual, pulled-together look that plays around with trends without being over the top.  I've always been afraid of wearing colored pants because I have such short, athletic legs.  I decided to give this loose fitting salmon pink ankle pants a try and I think I did a pretty good job pairing it with a neutral striped top!  Feeling daring and playful, I put on these pastel-green rock ear candy!  I even found a matching green bench!  

Tonight I'm heading out to a mini reunion with my dear Kyoto study-abroad friends!  We're going to have some good ol' beer and bond over Japanese food!  Expect more pictures later!  

Thanks for all of your lovely comments in my previous post!  Thanks for reading! 

xoxo,

Margaret

Hi Readers!

It's been too long since my last post!  Thanks Raisa for reminding me!  It has been raining on and off for the past week in New York but it should be beautiful in the coming weeks!  I shall celebrate my blog return with my newest acquisition- a beautiful blue and green pendant necklace from Banana Republic!  I consider this piece a splurge for me, (retailing $50, I got 30% off) a lot for what I normally wear for accessories.  I love this piece because the length of the necklace is made up of pretty translucent green beads, rather than a metal chain.  During the summer time, I don't like the clinging feeling of metal on my sweaty neck! Fashion accessories usually tarnish so I prefer beads!  I handcrafted beaded jewelry while I was in college and I would love to share some of them in my future outfits!   

Today was also an exciting day for me because I got to help my brother's girlfriend do her prom makeup!  Heather is naturally pretty and the makeup look I did for her turned out beautifully! It was my first time doing another person's makeup so I was super excited that she would let me!  Unfortunately, the lovebirds were in a rush to get into their limo so I don't have any pictures of the work I did.  Congratulations, be safe and have fun, seniors '12! 

Thanks KS for taking these pictures for me!  It took a lot of persuasion to get him to do it. 

xoxo,

Margaret
