Blue paisley and mint


I love throwing pieces together haphazardly and being pleased when they magically work together! These are all fairly new purchases that I haven't gotten around to wearing yet. In fact, I keep forgetting about these booties until I see someone wearing something similar! Mint and blue pair together so nicely, and I wasn't sure if the striped clutch would be a good pattern mix, but I think it works since it's a tighter print than the paisley. I scored both the clutch and the paisley portofino during Express' last 40% off sale.

Sunnies: Vince Camuto | Necklace: Express (option) | Clutch: Express | Top: Express | Bracelet: JCrew (option) | Bottoms: American Eagle (option) | Shoes: Vince Camuto (other colors here and here)

I mentioned in passing on Friday that my closet room was getting photographed. Well, a couple of weeks ago, I received an email from a curator who worked for IKEA. She said that she found my post  about my closet room and was excited to see that I was using the IKEA Billy bookshelves for shoe storage. She asked if I would be interested in sharing more information about my room, along with additional photos. She went on to say that a few stories would be selected to be showcased at the IKEA museum in Sweden when it opens in 2016.

SHUT. UP.

I know it's a hella long shot that my room would get selected for something like this, but just the thought of being featured in the IKEA museum!!!! In Sweden!!!!! I realized an opportunity like this called for proper photographs, so I was able to connect with a local photographer who took a ton of photos of my room over the weekend. Yes, I will be sure to share some photos of this shoot!

    Really love this color combo! Don't you love it when you just throw things together and they just work. That's an amazing clutch, btw. I didn't even know IKEA had a museum, how cool is that! ~Cynthia
