True Beauty Files: Pastel + Floral

April 9, 2012

True Beauty Files

Posted 09/12

{Top: Zara, Cardi: Banana Republic, Denim: Old Navy, Sandals: Dress Up Boutique (similar), Earrings: Stitched + Adorned (10% off with code IHOD10), Bag: Vintage, Bracelets: Francesca’s, gifted, Sunglasses: Urban Outfitters, Nails: Essie}
Style Word: Spring is the perfect time to wear pastels and it is fun when you can pair them with a floral! This look was retro inspired:)
Anyone else have major food and sugar hangover right now?!
Since Gabe and I gave up sweets for Lent, we might of indulged just a little bit yesterday;)
It was such a beautiful Easter, and I hope you had one as well! Halleluiah He is Risen!
Especially loved seeing Gabriel in a bow tie, and Veronica in a bonnet. I died and went to heaven.
P.S. Its the last day to enter to win an Ikat Print from Lona de Anna!

The True Beauty Files:
A lookbook for the modern modeste.
“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.” 
~ Audrey Hepburn
