Initial thought: Charlie! What are you doing ruining my photo shoot!
Moment of love and affection.
Fine. You can join in.
He's got the pose down, dontcha think?
Instagram me.
Instagram. My bff...
Good hair day ruined by the gym. // How I protect my eyes from the sun. Contacts are overrated.
Love weekend breakfasts. // Roll up the rim time just makes me sad. I've played 6 times and won once. I guess that is the odds...
Getting packages makes me excited. // New eShakti dress
Yoda cat. // A friend's new pup - she's so cute!
Fur, knits and snow.
After every snowfall, I pray that it's the end of winter.
But then I realize how pretty snow is in my photos.
And for a second, I'm not sure I want it gone yet.
But then I remember what it feels like to be on a beach.
And I pray for the snow to end again.
Dress dilemma.
Dress: c/o eShakti
Ahh dresses. I don't wear them often enough. Why? I don't think they've very versatile.
But this dress... This dress is special. It comes from eShakti's new spring collection, which is totally rockin' btw. But because it isn't spring yet, and I couldn't wait any longer to show you, I've styled it with snowflakes in mind. Guess what that means? A dress that transitions through seasons. What more is there to love? Plus these buttons are super awesome.
Probably what I'm most pleasantly surprised with is the fit. eShakti offers sizes from 0-36W, and allows customization of their garments. You can add/remove pockets and other embellishments (I kept the pockets, they're fun). But they have a great size scale because my dress fits me like a glove. I requested my hem-line above the knee, and they were able to do it while keeping the dress modest enough for the workplace.
What do you think about dresses? How do you keep them versatile?
This just in: Lookin' to score yourself a great eShakti dress? Get 20% off when you use code: KELLYBLGGE until next Sunday, Mar 10! I've also been eyeing up this great polka dotted pencil skirt...

Belated blog birthday.
So I had a post ready to go, but then I realized - hey. It was my blog birthday a few days ago!
And I never celebrated.
Last year I went through 10 things I had learned from blogging.
This year, it's way too late to write a long post cause I need to go to bed, and the next 48 hours will be a whirlwind.
So here it goes.
Enter Kelly is two years old.
In two years, the blog has transformed into me.
I mean, my blog has always been me,
but I feel like it's taken this long to truly find my voice.
What I like to talk about and how I like to talk.
When I meet people and tell them I blog, it's less scary.
I feel less uncomfortable.
I feel less uncomfortable.
Usually I'm met with, "oh that's so cool!"
Maybe they're lying, but whatever.
At least it's not "what's a blog?"
Anyways. Here's to two awesome years writing about stuff, and many more posts to come.
Also, here's to you, fellow readers, for being just generally awesome.
And to us getting to know each other (I think the coffee dates are going well, don't you?) and becoming friends.
You guys rock my world. Srsly.
Much love and appreciation, Kelly.
5 Spring Essentials.
Just my personal list of the 5 things that I really need this spring. Like, seriously need.
The whole military style has been around for a while, but I love the more literal feel it's taking on this spring. Camo is everywhere. She's wearing a camo jacket here, but camo pants are popping up like the not-yet-flowers-of-spring.
Don't believe me? Forever 21 military jacket, GAP camo pants, Dynamite camo jegging and this H&M leopard print camo coat. Yeah, I'll be adding more camo to my closet, that's for sure.
Leave it to Sydney to show us all how to perfect the sneaker wedge. Honestly, I hated these before I saw them on her. Now I'm in love. Talk about incredible influence this lady has. I'm so in love that I am ACTIVELY searching Pinterest for more inspiration on wedge sneakers. Which means I might convince myself I haaaaaave to have them. Plus my fav shoe store, Call It Spring, has these for $60.
Just like camo and stripes, polka dots are big creepers creeping up all over the place. One day it's on a shirt and next think you know, it's on ev-er-y-thing you buy.
I'm currently lusting over these polkadot pants, this (neon) polkadot bikini and this polka-dotted shirt-dress (though it is a bit on the short side....)
1. An amazing striped dress.
Stripes won't be leaving us just yet! They're sticking around for a little while longer. A big bold striped dress is the perfect way to welcome the sunshine and warmth back in your life!
I found a couple great ones from Banana Republic that are both awesome AND work appropriate: this and this.

2. Denim vest & studs.
A denim vest is spring's response to the fur vest of fall. Good luck trying to get that faux fur to keep you cool (hint: 'aint gunna happen). The denim vest, however, makes an awesome addition to anyone's closet (just think of how great your denim jacket is and imagine it without arms)!
Plus this one is über awesome 'cause it's got studded detail. Here's another great studded one from Forever 21. Maybe I'll pick that one up.

What tops your list of spring essentials?
The Luke.
Sunday I finished Gilmore Girls.
I'd only seen it whole thing once before, so naturally I was feeling very sad...
In spirit, I put on my best flannel top, stepped outside and posed for pictures.
An OOTD that I would later name "The Luke".
Here's to you, Luke, and your awesome flannel top collection.
Anyone else a GG fan?
