Happy Easter

Shoes with a Story

Every pair of shoes has a story. After following Brighton Keller, over at Brighton the Day, I began to adore the beautiful shoes she wears in her outfit posts. The shoes are actually designed by her mom, Dee Keller, and made in Italy. When Dee Keller Designs instagrammed that her shoes were available online at Neiman Marcus Last Call, I had to grab a pair. I chose a pair of cream wedge sandals with a wooden sole, and I love them! They seem to be made so well and are super comfortable. I cannot wait to wear them all spring and summer! Anyways, be sure to check out Brighton the Day for more shoe inspiration!

From Music to Modeling: Alexandra McDermott

A few weeks ago, when I was watching the Erin Fetherston Spring 2013 Collection video, the voice behind all the pretty footage really caught my attention. I had to find out more about who it was! To my amazement, the voice was that of one of the beautiful models featured in the video. I began searching the web for more on this amazing girl, Alexandra McDermott, and found out that she is a high school student just like myself. I reached out and asked her to answer some questions for LCB Style, and luckily she said yes! Also, click over to this article on Refinery29 for more on Alexandra.

J. Crew New Arrivals Spring 2013

One place I always love to visit in the Spring is J. Crew to see what all they have for Spring and Summer. Jenna Lyons is amazing at picking out the perfect colors for warmer weather. I usually am drawn to blues and pinks, but this year I really love the yellows and oranges featured in J. Crew's Spring items. The stripes and peplum tops are following us into another season!

Pink and Gold

In my opinion, you can never go wrong with pink and gold. I especially love them together! 

Words of Wisdom

During such a busy time of the year, sometimes it is easy to get bogged down in all of the schoolwork, tests, and due dates. In all of this we must remember to be filled with joy, and we must not let a day go by without it. 

"Shout with joy to God, all the earth! Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious!" Psalm 66:1-2
