Into a Sea of Green...



Yesterday I journeyed into the sea of crazy drunkards and there was green everywhere! I saw a little of the parade, but I wasn't too impressed and instead grabbed a bite to eat with my lovely boyfriend Josh and then did a little shopping. Overall, it was a really fun and relaxing day (which I desperately needed). 
Here's some shots I took:
I spy: clover tights (had to capture a picture of these babies)

Josh is so festive

As is Joe (blowing the grenade whistle into everyone's' ears)

Really fantastic church that was right where we were standing for the parade

I love when walls and bridges are painted awesome colors


These are slices of rat brains in slides (weird, I think I just liked the color of the box)
My friend Andy's finished tattoo (LOVE IT, I have many tattoos, maybe you'll see them one day ;) )

Cool mens Nautica sunglasses that I kind of wanted to steel from Josh's brother's apartment :/

New ring (one of the many new pieces of jewelry from the day; more to come!)

Josh's new Yankee fitted (that I picked out thank you very much)

Swatch Colour Code

SO, I'm kind of really obsessed with Swatch's new lady collection. I was shopping the other day and was pulled in by the awesome colors of the Swatch store. First thing I notice, these super long watches in every one of my favorite colors. They wrap around to create these really cute and simple watch/bracelet. Absolutely perfect for spring's emerging color block trend.

What's even better?...They're waterproof and only $50!
Get em' HERE

Now...what color to choose?









And, If you love to layer your jewelry and watches, Swatch's patent leather wrap bracelets are perfect. ...and again, $25 each. Definitely getting a couple of these.

"Expression Figurative" Vogue Paris March 2011

In many ways I can say that makeup is just as much an accessory as jewelry or a purse. And this editorial shoot by Inez & Vinoodh says it all! Beautiful makeup by Peter Philips, creative director for Chanel Makeup, is paired perfectly with dramatic accessories.
So gorgeous and inspiring!
