outfit // poe

 Sunday evening I had the fantastic opportunity to see the play "Poe" at Centerstage in Baltimore. I was sick all weekend and made sure I was super rested so that I would not have to miss it! And, oh, I'm so glad I didn't. It was creepy, beautiful, and thought-provoking-everything that Edgar Allan Poe's poetry is. The playwright did a genius job giving us a look into what may have been going through Poe's disturbed mind during his final days. It was the perfect play to see during Halloween-time in the very city that Poe died in.
Theater in the round <3
 Is it weird that I wanted my outfit to somewhat match the play I was seeing? I felt like this baroque-esque black+white dress fit the mood perfectly. However, it's super tight. And, unless I'm going clubbing (and you know me...clubbin' it up every weekend) I don't wear skin tight things to theater performances. So, I wore a mustard color cardigan and little oxford heels to make the outfit a bit more playful.
Also, it must be said that all the beautiful color-filled trees you see in the background will most likely be gone by the time I post another outfit post. Dear Sandy has her grubby fingers all up in my Fall experience. The hurricane has barely started here in Maryland, but already half the leaves have been blown off of the trees. It is sure to be a crazy experience though! Stay safe East-coasters. And if you live anywhere else and are reading this, well, enjoy the sunshine for me!
Oh, and this is my friend Brittanie who (or whom??) I went to the show with. We decided this photo describes our friendship perfectly. And, now excuse me while she kills me for posting it.

friday I'm in love

Yoooo! I am loving life today because I am off work and am feeling so much better! Wednesday I started to feel sick and last night was horrible. I still went to choir practice where our wonderful choir director, Nikki, prayed that "tomorrow will be amazing." And after 12.5 hours of sleep, chicken noodle soup, water, and tylenol, I felt a ton better :) 

Okay, so here are some things I'm loving...
This dress from Anthropologie. Also I'm thinking of making this my next new hairstyle...(j/k).
This Zou Bisou Bisou print by Tami Bohn found on Minted. Minted features a ton of awesome prints by different artists, so you should go explore. I love this one because it reminds me of Mad Men :)
This awesome new play being shown at Centerstage in Baltimore. A friend and I are going to see it the Sunday before Halloween. We figured it's only fitting to see a play about Edgar Allan Poe in the very city he died and is buried in near Halloween day :).
This adorable navy peacoat from ASOS. I love the little leather arrow detail.
This hot pink dress from Free People. The color is gorgeous, but the floral embroidered sleeves are super duper gorgeous.
 This list of 11 Books You Should Read If You're a Woman in Your 20's. Now, I have no idea why only women should read them, and I don't know if they are good either. But, I've looked into them all and they all sound super interesting. Especially Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn which I've heard nothing but good things about!
This 1950's inspired ponytail tutorial found on The Beauty Department. Adorable.

Enjoy your weekend everyone!
