Happy Mother's Day!

ON ME: Anthropologie Dress | J. Crew Necklace | Kate Spade Purse

In the midst of finals it is so lovely to spend a gorgeous day out in Pasadena with my favorite person in the world and the woman who I'd like to think did an excellent job raising me, my one and only mother! Without her I don't know if I ever would have developed such a keen interest in fashion, and I certainly would never understood the magic of Anthropologie had she not dragged me in as a little girl. 

It was an absolute treasure to see the Pasadena Showcase house - another one of our favorite mother-daughter activities: browsing beautiful houses - and I would recommend checking it out but today was the last day. Nevertheless it was extremely well-done and I now have a strong urge to decorate houses (who knows, back-up career option?) If you are ever out in Pasadena in April-May, I would highly suggest checking out the showcase house. They are always stunning.
