Trend Report: Metallic

June 5, 2013

::Dress Forever21 (similar here), Shoes Gabriel brothers (years old, similar here and here), necklace Forever 21, bracelets David Yurman::

Today I’m teaming up with the lovely Corinne from Pink Avenue. Unknowingly, we both agreed to highlight metallic and must have been thinking mint because when we sent our photos to one another they were more similar than we expected. Great minds right?! Corinne’s blog is adorable (as well as her little one) and I love that she is on a tight law-school budget because I know about all of those (remember we’re on a medical school budget?). Who says you can’t be fashionable on a budget? Make sure you go check out Pink Avenue and follow along!


I am REALLY loving mint lately, however, I am NOT loving how I always ahve a hairband on my wrist! Sorry guys, girl problems I guess! These pics are from Florence. I’m skipping around again, I hope you don’t mind. Wasn’t our view from our balcony beautiful?!? I want to go back now instead of packing up our apartment!
Have you entered my 50.00 Stella and Dot Giveaway HERE?
Now, hop on over to Corinne’s blog and follow that pretty lady why dont’cha!?
What color are you loving right now?

    At least the hairband looks like a bracelet ;]
    You look great in mint! I am still loving that color too. It is the perfect girly/feminine color and looks great with EVERYTHING!

    That dress is stunning on you, I love the cut!! And I often find myself with a hairband on my wrist, I've found that it's really easy to erase it in Photoshop.

    I love your dress! Looks so pretty with your silver heels, and that view! Gorgeous. I'm loving all of the outfits you wore on your honeymoon. I visited Europe in March but wasn't able to dress very stylishly since I was practically backpacking around! Not to mention it was still pretty cold when I was there.

    This sounds crazy but the balcony you're sitti g on looks exactly like the one we stayed at two years ago in Florence! We stayed at a B&B and loved it. I wonder if its the same one?

    I am completely obsessed with metallic shoes right now. I just bought a silver pair similar to yours and can't wait for them to arrive. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the mint and silver combo. You both look fabulous. I'll definitely have to steal this colour combo once my shoes arrive. 🙂
