What To Wear on a Casual Date

Hi, everyone! Yesterday I got a really interesting email. It reads:

"Hey, Lane. I'm Abby from...and yesterday the boy that I have loved for forever finally asked me out. He said that we're going to dinner (maybe Red Robbin or Olive Garden?) and a movie. I'm soooo nervous. Jeez Loueez, my hands are shaking as I write this! And I NEED help!! Can you give me any tips on what to wear? I like to wear browns and blues. (Please no black! That color washes me out!!!) Thanks and peace. Buh, bye.

Oh! And P.S. Can you keep the look kind of casual? I don't want to look overdressed or anything. Thanks! Again bye. -Abby"

This is the first time I've ever recieved an email like this. And there was no way that I couldn't respond! I wish I knew more about Abby, like her age, but I wanted to post this as soon as possible. So I created two looks. I hope they work!

Casual First Date #2 by randon1993 on Polyvore.com

The first look is a bit edgy. Start with your favorite pair of jeans and a simple tank. [a cami underneath might be a good idea]. Then add a chic, oversized cardigan that is perfect for these cold winter months. Add a cute cross-shoulder bag that is large enough to carry all the necessities for the date. I cheated a little. I know you said no black but these studded flats were so chic but if you really hate black that much, wear brown flats. Add simple gold jewelry and the look is complete.

This look is a little sweeter. Start with a simple white summer dress and a warm, chunky grey sweater. If you live in a really cold place, add a pair of tights! I know you like brown so opt for strappy wedges--perfect and comfortable--and a brown belt to cinch in the waist. Add color with a bold bag and complete the look with simple gold earrings.

Feel free to switch cardigans for balzers or jackets. Red cardigans for blue ones. These are just suggestions to keep in mind when choosing your outfit. I made these picks with both comfort and style in mind. I wish you all the luck on your date! Bye. :)

Lust List: You Belong With Me

Oh, Taylor Swift. You've helped me through long car rides, intense workouts, and the occasional emotional crisis. I bought her newest CD the moment it came out but recently I've become obsessed again. My favorite songs are Mine, Sparks Fly, and Back to December. 

Today, I decided to share my latest Lust List with you guys. How did you like my latest post collection, Best Dressed List of 2010? I'm really proud of the work that I did. But anyway, enough rambling. Let's get into the post.

♫Marc by Marc Jacobs Pouchette Small Leather Bag
♫DVF Bolo Skirt
♫House of Harlow 1960 14ct Gold Large Key Cocktail Ring

♫Saint James® Meridien ii Tee

♫Ski Lodge Mittens

♫House of Harlow 1960 Women's Jean Boot

♫Elizabeth and James Gypsy Sleeveless Silk Blouse

The return to school countdown clock has begun. I can't wait! [note my sarcasm] I hope your new year is off to a brilliant start. Still have to write the research paper that's due the day I get back. Oh, procrastination. You get me every time.

"I Wrote You Everday For A Year!"

I'm really excited. :) I just put in a search bar so people can search my blog for anything. I don't know why I didn't have it before because its so hard to find things on my blog. Recently I did two posts that were about Victoria Beckham and my sister rolled her eyes.

She seems to be under the false impression that I post about her everyday. And I wanted to prove her wrong but it was hard going through all of them. Sigh. I'm a little lazy. So I added the search bar. Enjoy.

Oh, and just an update in about two weeks I'm heading to my grandma's for a week. My mom's side of the family all live in like a hundred mile radius of each other, so every year we go and visit them. :) If there's a long pause between posts, then at least you'll know why.

Here's my Polyvore inspired by my one of my favorite love stories. Sigh. The Notebook. Such a good movie. I feel in love with Ryan Gosling in that movie. :) Click here to see the details of the Polyvore.

I never read the book but I heard from a friend that it wasn't nearly as good as the movie. Which is weird because the book is almost always better than the movie. Did anyone read the book? What are your thoughts?

Don't forget to check out my giveaway! You have the chance to win a $200 Target giftcard. :) Good luck!

Beachy Fun--Hopefully in the Sun

Just finished up a tag post that I'm going to publish tomorrow. So if you like tags come back tomorrow. If you don't...well, then I guess it will be a sad day for you. But I hope you love reading tags as much as I love writing them and reading them. :)

Anyway, I got some great news today. :) Me and my sister are getting a pool! I'm beyond thrilled. Its not an in-ground pool or anything. Its just bigger than the kiddie one that has been chilling in the garage for the past twelve years.

The pool will only be about four/five feet deep but I think its the coolest thing ever. Question. Is it safe to jump off a trampaline into a pool? Or does it just look cool? Please comment below.

I haven't gotten a new swim suit yet but as it still feelings like late winter, where I live, and I don't need one yet. But in a couple weeks I'm going to have a swim suit shopping spree. :) My mom is going to be thrilled. Can you hear the sarcasm in my voice?

So excited for pool season. Is there anything more exciting? Nope. Not even close. Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration. A big exaggeration but you know what I'm saying.

I was playing around with Polyvore, I think I've become obsessed, and I came up with a wishlist. A beachy, fun-in-the-sun wishlist. The two piece in the Polyvore is adorable. I'm in love.

1. Ruffled Hatler Bikini Top

2. Ruffled Bikini Briefs

3. 1,000 Steps Beach Hollister Top

4. Hurley's Locals Only Women Boardshorts

5. Heritage Leather Flip Flops

6. Beach House Shell and Starfish Candle

I'm a huge fan of the dark, navy blue. The color is perfect in summer. Its so very nautical. :) And as a Navy brat myself, I'm very partial to the sea.

Went over to a friend's house today and watched Gone With the Wind. It is a FOUR HOUR long movie. Four hours!! I had no idea it was that long. :) It was a good movie but it was just too long. Way too long. I adored Rhett.

He was so funny. I loved how he and Scarlet met. Clark Gable is a genius. And despite the fact that he was arrogant and sometimes strange, I found myself rooting for him more than Scarlet. Well, one classic movie down. Thousands more to go. :)

Bye! Talk to you guys later. If you feel the need, please comment below. Or even push the follow button to your right. Thank You! :D
