STYLE / 87
not sure if you saw my vine about this vintage swim cap, but i got it for 12 dollars and i love it. i am headed to palm springs on a girls trip in a few weeks and it will be packed for sure.
this is more of an experimental style post with jesse (see the last two here and here.) i love the bright whites mixed with the blue & pink accents. the tulle tutu reminds me a little of carrie bradshaw. she could pull something like this off, easy. also, i was inspired by this, remember?
speaking of ballerina tutus, have you watched the documentary on netflix called “first position?” wow. it was such a good way to spend an evening. the dedication of those young dancers is truly inspirational and fascinating.
i am writing this post on the train ride to new york from boston (prepare for random thoughts.) we always have to bring quite a bit of luggage with all of our blogshop equipment, so dragging our bags through the snow and chilling boston wind wasn’t the most pleasant. however, the relaxed train ride makes up for it. i have taken the amtrak to my grandparents house every year since i was very young, so it always brings me back to those days.
i remember being SO excited to have a whole row to myself, i would set up all my train entertainment that i packed, listen to mom’s super cool CD player as the trees flew by out the window…and i would find any excuse to walk through the train cars as they swayed back and forth to get to the cafe car (which was the highlight, obviously). i get fairly anxious on planes (xanax, please), so taking the train has always been my preferred method of travel. it’s funny because i still feel like a child when i sit down in my seat, just excited about different things now (wifi! power outlets! leg room!) and i must admit, i still like finding an excuse to go to the cafe car.
anyways, have a wonderful week everyone! i’ve been prepping all of the benefit posts that go live next week. can’t wait to post them! -bri

i think this is one of my favorite style posts yet, love the portrait of you in the cap! nice work!
10. Monica | February 19th, 2013 at 8:24 am
You definitely remind me of Mrs. Bradshaw in this one! I love the tutu and how carefree and fun it all looks.
I love train rides more than airplanes too. Airplanes have way too many rules that just make me fearful for the flight.

Ok the photos are adorable! I’m a sucker for bright white, with pink and blue as well. My favorite color combo!
15. Tiffany | February 19th, 2013 at 9:15 am
First Position is one of my favorite documentaries on Netflix. Those kids ridiculously talented.
16. alicia | February 19th, 2013 at 9:46 am
The all whites with colour accents is so you! I was just on instagram admiring yet another location you’ve picked out for Blogshop.
I also loved that you shared your inspiration for this post. I’m guessing most of us are very visual people and I personally love seeing where the inspiration came from, like the moodboard.
Speaking of dance, have you seen this little video? So amazing.

Bri, your experimental posts have been out of this world. I really love how editorial they’ve been. These colors really speak to me as we enter spring! They’re so ethereal.

This is so fun! As a “retired” ballerina, this made me want to get all gussied up in a tutu! Maybe even a swim cap, too! (insert spins, twirls, and leaps)

I keep meaning to watch “first position” and haven’t, I need to buckle down and watch it. Love these photos, the blue and white together look so ethereal!
24. Lexi | February 19th, 2013 at 1:41 pm
Amaze balls! You are as cute as a button.
25. Jules | February 19th, 2013 at 3:53 pm
Carrie could totally pull something like this off…and so can you! Love the hat, reminds me of a fashionable shower cap. hehe

I have taken notice that of all various types of insurance coverage,
health insurance plan is the most debatable due to
the fact of the struggle amongst the coverage policies
company’s obligation to keep on being financially rewarding and the buyer’s need to have to have
insurance include. Insurance policies companies’ income on
well being and health options are pretty minimal,
consequently some companies struggle to make revenue.
Many thanks for the strategies you share via this site.
