B shops: VESTIQUE [turquoise & tangerine]

May 31, 2012


While shopping at Vestique last week, one of the first items I was drawn to were these pants. They're light and comfortable but fit like a dream. That is, if you dream about how pants fit. I don't. I always dream that I'm on a bike being chased by a killer but I can't pedal fast enough. Oh, and the draped pleat shoulders on this top had me snatching it up soup fast. I was feeling matchy matchy so I had to grab this perfectly coordinating clutch and layer on these necklaces that they have in several colors.

B SOUP shops: VESTIQUE [tribal summer]

May 30, 2012

I'm loving this mixed print Hi-Lo hem dress at Vestique. I've always been crazy about tribal patterns and polka dots, so hello...no brainer. The fabric is silky and flows like a dream when you walk. I added these turquoise earrings for some quirky color and the nude clutch makes it ready for date night.

B SOUP shops: Vestique [nod to nautical]

May 29, 2012

Welcome to the first of my new installments called "B SOUP shops." The goal is to showcase my favorite outfits from locally owned and operated boutiques. The mall is fun (I think?) and the Internet is convenient, but we all know that for the best personal service and one of a kind looks- boutiques are always the best experience.
 I am tha-rilled because a Raleigh, NC based boutique, Vestique just opened it's doors in Charlotte and their prices and pieces have my booty in there more than once a week. Lucky for you- their store is also online, so no matter where you live you can be head to toe in fun, colorful, non- wallet murdering clothes like these. My new tiered sailboat top is only $30 ! Their Sunburst pendant is the perfect compliment to their classic white skinnies and flowy nautical top. And don't even get me started on this Tangerine snake print envelope clutch. You're McCray Cray if you think this is all I picked out. I'll be sharing my favorite Vestique looks all week, thanks to the photographic skills of Jim Trice who captured these ensembles in all of their girly glory.

VESTIQUE GIVEAWAY: turquoise & gold

My all time favorite stone is Turquoise. I'd take it over diamonds, rubies, and definitely some damn opals. Definitely. I have fallen completely head over heels for a shop that just opened in Charlotte called Vestique. They carry the most gorgeous Turquoise and gold pendant necklace. I am so cray for shay about this piece. It's a statement necklace, it has a gold link chain, it has an eye catching turquoise stone, it has tassels, it will make your mom dinner and then clean up after dessert, it will babysit your neighbors Teacup Yorkie and it can churn butter into cream. It's the best necklace ever.

How to delete comments on Instagram

This little vid is for any social media babers who have found themselves misusing "you're" or gotten loopy and ended up posting "I'm not over you," or any of that other crazy S on someones pictures or status'. It happens to the best of us. If you have no idea what I'm talking about then clearly you've never gotten drunk on 99 Bananas in front of a laptop. Anyway, here's how to do damage control if you have accidentally lead your Instagram friends to believe you barely made it through 2nd grade English.

Preen Pixel Print

May 10, 2012

I went cray for Preen's pixelated collection when it debuted during NYFW in the fall. Ithas since become available for purchase. This doesn't do me that much good though because husband, bank account, and Jiminy Cricket all say 'no' I may not have a $1,200 collarless shirt. What buzz kills.
