look book: june bug

June 7, 2012


This skirt is absolutely beautiful and I know it will be a staple in my wardrobe for years to come. I fell in love with the longer length, the stripes, and pleating. Gorgeous! What makes me love it even more is that it’s handmade by an indie designer Corilynn. She has some absolutely beautiful skirts in her shop, and more on the way! Go check it out and show her some much-deserved support!
sweater Banana Republic {similar}, skirt c/o Corilynn, shoes Jessica Simpson {similar}, purse Tory Burch

Today is technically my Friday since I worked Sunday and also because tomorrow is my birthday and I’m taking the day off. I’m one of those people who hates to work on their birthday. I just feel like it’s the one day of the year that should totally be yours. You should celebrate your life by doing something fun, spontaneous, or even relaxing. Tomorrow is going to be a mixture of all three. The beach is involved, lunch at my favorite sushi place, a party with friends, and Matthew has some other surprises planed {he’s taking the day off too!}. I’m so excited!

Have a great day everyone!

  6. I love the length of that skirt! I'm so bummed by all these short hemlines that seemed to have taken over clothing stores. She's already number one in my book with this one!

    Happy early Birthday! Have so much fun!

  7. Mara, that skirt is pretty fantastic. I love the box pleat detail! I checked out the designers site and I'm smitten with the chevron print. Must.get.it! :) I'm loving how you pair yours with green. I love navy paired with green!

    Hope you're having a greta day so far.

    xx Love & Aloha

  9. I'm totally digging the chevron one she has up as well. Might just go find some striped fabric and make one of these over the weekend. I'm only 5'2" so finding a skirt that hits the right length is impossible to find. DIY for me :) Thanks for the inspiration! Love the pleats too!

    i can't help but adore the skirt you are wearing and the way your hair flows down so effortesely, its so silky and wavy can you make a post about what kind of products you are using to make it look so silky?
    p.s i am not sure if you already announced the winner of your lulu's giveaway but i am melting away every single time i look at the dress i want and i can't wait to see who the winner is.
    oh let it be me!:(
