Bee Pin

Happy Friday! It's been a long week, so I'm very excited that the weekend is here. I don't have any major plans (yet). I'm going to a yoga class tomorrow morning and other than that I plan on taking it easy and seeing where the weekend takes me.

My new oxfords (first mentioned here) are wonderful! I love them. They are TTS and very comfortable. The are sturdy yet stylish. I am a little bit confused because I ordered the gray ("pewter") color, then I received an email from the owner of Repeat Possessions telling me they were out of pewter, but that they did have black in stock. I told her that black would be great. So, I got the shoes and the shoe box says "black", but I swear they are gray. So, I'm very happy, but I'm not sure if these are black or pewter. The tan color is very nice too. I definitely recommend them (here they are)!

I wore this outfit a few days ago. I love it because it features my new bee pin that Ben picked up for me, my new oxfords, and one of my favorite Anthropologie tops.

I LOVE the television show Mad Men. I have the biggest crush on Don Draper and Joan (Christina Hendricks). I also find a good deal of style/fashion inspiration from the show.

Considering my obsession with Mad Men, and the fact that my vintage bee pin was making me feel very Mad Men-esque, Ben decided to have a little fun with photoshop, and this is the result:































I love it! Have a great weekend!
