Wishing for Warmer Days

I don't know if anyone else agrees with me on this stance but I'm so over this whole freezing weather thing. Don't get me wrong winter clothes are possibly my most favorite but I'm so ready to shed these layers. When I'm bundling up to go outside I like to imagine I'm throwing on a sundress ready to head to the pool. That got me thinking now is the perfect time to do all my swimsuit shopping! 

Here are some of my favorites for this season!

Miss Mel and I are suckers for a cute monokini.

There so many reasons why I love this one. One is that it's fringe! Two, I love bandeau tops (they give the best tan lines). Lastly, I like the idea that you can switch out the bottom or top and it would still look awesome. 

This swimsuit is crazy and you would have the craziest tan lines but I still love it!

If only these kinds of swimsuits still existed! I would don any of these at the beach!

So can summer be here already? Or even just Spring Break? Either would be fine with me, I'm not picky!

"Downton Abbey"

So I know I'm little late jumping on the "Downton Abbey bandwagon". Until now, I always thought it was Downtown Abbey...however, I've recently become addicted to the show! I'm almost finished with the first season on Netflix and I started last week! Did I mention that I'm obsessed?

For those of you who are unfamiliar with "Downton Abbey" (it's not to late to start watching, look at me!), it's a drama on PBS as one of their Masterpiece Classic shows. The show is set during the 1900's in a fictional town in England revolving around one aristocratic family and their servants.  "Downton" is filled with your typical drama schemes as well as, historical events like the sinking of the Titanic, the beginning of WWI and the Spanish influenza. As if that isn't enough to make you hooked, the clothes the characters wear are simply magnificent. It's truly incredible to see the Grantham family dress in black suits, bow-ties, hair pieces, hats, jewelry and ballroom gowns for a family dinner. A family dinner! You can only imagine what they wear to formal events!
Get some Edwardian fashion inspiration from the ladies of Downton Abbey.
The ladies of "Downton". I love their hats!


My absolute favorite outfit of the first season.
The day Sybil, the youngest of the Grantham daughters, wears pants. It was quite a spectacle!

Plus, Maggie Smith is on the show!

You can catch the third season of "Downton Abbey" on PBS on Sunday nights.
