Weekly Outfit Roundup


Hi everyone!

Super quick catch up on what I've been wearing and doing lately. I've been preparing my lecture on the results of my last fellowship for the conference I'll be attending in Indianapolis at the end of the month. I am so pleased that my time away from blogging has been extremely productive! I've completed my text and slide show and am well into the stage of practicing. I already had a practice lecture on Friday at the Gallery which went much better than I expected. I'm getting very excited to attend the conference, although I found out that I'll be giving it to a much larger audience than I had originally anticipated. I'm in the large auditorium and only one other lecture is being held at the same time as mine (as opposed to most of the other lectures, where 5-6 lectures are held at the same time). This is going to be a fantastic marketing point for my career, so I hope it goes smoothly. And I'm excited to talk fine art conservation for a week and see my American friends <3 

Hope everyone is doing well, sorry I haven't been visiting other blogs lately! 
What have you all been well lately? Remember you can always find me on 
instagram, to see my outfits and gallery opening shenanigans. 

Xxxo,

le weekend


Happy Friday everyone! I've had a busy week and will be volunteering at the Gallery's conservation studio today. The surprising warm weather means I'll get to eat lunch outside today and soak in some rays :) I have some disappointing news: I'll be taking another break from blogging - likely, for the remainder of the month - to focus on my career in fine art conservation. The break will mainly focus on preparing for a presentation I'm giving at an international conference at the end of May. Work is definitely going to be picking up with interns coming for the summer, more job applications, volunteering, and I received a new painting to fix (yay!). My main summer research project involves updating a workshop that hasn't been given in over a decade, so that alone will be a lot of work and reading. Don't fret, I'll still be on social media and you can always view what I'm wearing via my instagram account (which you can still see through a web browser, if you don't have an iPhone or the instagram app). 

Hope everyone gets a chance to spend more time outdoors this month! Stay stylish!

How gorgeous are these charcoal on paper illustrations by Hong Chun Zhang? This series depicts drawings of shiny, healthy long hair - called Twin Spirits - are extremely long artworks of her and her twin sister's hair. Not sure if its actually true to scale, but oh my these are beautiful! I was certain they were photographs when I first saw them. I hope everyone has a lovely weekend and gets to spend some time outside :)

How to Wear Mint This Spring



via
1//  2//  3//  4//  5//  6//  7//  8// 


Is it just me, or is mint everywhere this spring?! I'm sure it has something to do with pastels being a key favorite for spring, but the fresh feeling this color tends to bring also makes it more alluring at this time of the year. Thought I'd share a few different ways to wear mint which I've been adoring lately.

| MINT COLORED DENIM | 
Does this have to be explained? Looks like colored jeans may be here to stay and a light minty green might be exactly the color to freshen up your spring wardrobe. I like the idea of pairing them with a simple blouse or plain white tee, but a racy knotted top might be a good option for a night out at a concert.

| MINT BLAZERS |
Mint jackets are not super versatile but are definitely a fun color if you're searching for a noticeable jacket. You can find them in blazer form (I remember Zara had one last summer), but if you are looking for something more sturdy and structured, you might want to go for a studded, minty leather moto jacket!

| POP OF MINT |
If your budget doesn't allow you to splurge on a key mint piece, other options for mint can be worn through jewelry, shoes, and purses. A pop of mint can easily be added with a mint shirt or sweater, which many retailers carry each spring, all you have to do is decide on the shade of mint you are looking for.


How do you wear mint? 
What is your favorite pastel color for spring?

Weekly Outfit Roundup


Hello everyone! I've been having a busy week which is good to keep my mind off waiting to hear the results for my job interview. This weekend I got to go out with friends on Friday night for a birthday celebration, shopping and movies yesterday, and a pizza potluck tonight. I ended up scoring some gorgeous vintage finds this weekend, including this gorgeous dress  and a buttery leather pencil skirt (for free, thanks Dominique!). Very excited to pair both of these, you folks are going to love them! Here's what I've been finding on the internets lately.

1// Yesterday, Dominique and I headed into EQ3 to browse at the furniture and I fell in love with this Burrows platform bed!
2//  Love this guide to packing for traveling in France, especially the outfit mixing.
3//  Definitely something I've been wondering: how to make gifs.
