Lookbook: Fashion and Festivals


Lookbook: Fashion and Festivals

This past weekend was spent with family coming into town. We had a packed weekend driving around, climbing mountains, going to art fairs and seeing shows. It was great because we were actually able to do a lot of things that the hubs and I hadn't yet gotten around to since we moved to Arizona.

We went to the theater and saw "Sex & the Second City" which was like an improvisational play performed by members of the popular Second City theater.

We also went to this arts festival that showcased a ton of great, original sculptures, paintings, metalwork, clothing, etc. I thought these two pieces were too great not to share!

This is what I wore to the festival. This is my fedora that I am absolutely in love with, along with my Charlotte Russe blazer that I had to eventually take off because it was just too darn hot.

The purse is a Pepe Jeans London bag that I won from a giveaway by Dolls Factory that I mentioned in a makeup and muses post.

Funny story: In the middle of the "Sex & the Second City" play I realized that the Target Go Collection was available in stores that very day. Of course, I couldn't just leave in the middle of everything, although you would think saying, "Sorry guys, but Proenza Schouler is on sale" would justify any mad dash.

Instead, I waited until intermission when we were able to use our phones and bought this Rodarte lace print dress online. I couldn't help myself! But I gotta tell ya, I felt so much better after that. Would you have done the same?

Happy St. Patty's Day!

    Having guests always makes me go and see new places in my own city that I may have missed. It's definitely nice to be a tourist in your own city sometimes! Looks like you guys had a great time.
