checking out

Loyal Readers,

After much thought, I have decided to take a sabbatical from blogging to work on other things important to me. Your readership and constant support of Amateur Couture is humbling, thank you so much for visiting my little corner of the blogosphere.

I'll be checking in from time to time with things sooooo inspiring they'll blow your Louboutins off. Until then, you can find bits of me on my Pinterest and Tumblr pages (which I'll continue to update).

It's not goodbye, it's see you later!

Love, M.

HI!

back from a beach vacation and feeling great! besides soaking in some sunshine and indulging in quenching libations, I turned off my computer and phone for six days straight. eating french toast in bed was a treat but unpluging from the world was really quite sweet.

so let's get things started with portraits by Ashley Goldberg. pretty cool, huh?

here's to a good week!

 

time-out

it's with sheer delight that I announce I am packing up my bags and slipping out for a much needed vacation. wait, do you hear that??? lazy days are calling my name. be back soon! x

a headband moment

headbands are having a big moment.

try a bejeweled satin ribbon like those seen at Oscar de la Renta.

you might as well add a little tease.

more, more, more Oscar elegance.
