Record Store Day

Today is Record Store Day! This day was started back in 2007 and now many stores participate and even have special releases in order to celebrate. If you looking for a fun way to spend your afternoon, go check out your local record store! For more info on the day, check out this Rolling Stone article. My plan is to spend the afternoon at Vintage Vinyl in the hopes of find some records to add to my growing collection.

It's Officially an Addiction

I really thought I had gotten enough stripes in for one week, but them I found this amazing artwork:

It's just too pretty not to share! Can you imagine if all our streets looked like this? Gene Davis is well known for his colorful vertically striped paintings. In 1972 he created "Franklin's Footpath," which was the world's largest painting at the time (pretty impressive huh?), in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Rainbow striped roads are definitely in my version of heaven...what's in yours?

Spring Stripes

After a day of shopping this week, I realized I have an obsession: stripes! Almost all of the items I purchased had some variation of the design. I love how this classic pattern can take your outfit to the next level by either making it Parisian chic or by keeping it young and playful.

I have been eyeing this flirty striped anthropologie dress for months, and I finally pulled the trigger. I can't wait to wear it with pearls and super tall grey heels around graduation time.

I also found the adorable shirt at H&M- I love how the bright colors add a twist to this otherwise classic design. Also pictured is this bag from Kate Spade, probably the cutest thing in my closet these days.

I think the next phase of my obsession (maybe addiction, but I would never admit it) will be introducing stripes into my home. I LOVE these pillows I found on etsy - they are made of vintage scarfs and would be the perfect addition to any room.
