End of the World

I took a class in college called The End of the World, so luckily I knew that today was not the day for that to happen. Instead of rapturizing, I went estate sale shopping and got a few interesting items (not shown: silver bowling pin trophy/ashtray for Dan). If that fur clutch doesn't work out, I could always wear it on my head a la Davy Crockett.

Your Civic Duty

Remember when I entered this contest? Well, it's voting time. Would you lovely people do me a favor and vote for me? All you have to do is leave a comment that says "Katie H. - The Social Secretary."

I'll put pop machines in the cafeteria and get you more dress down days, I swear.

Go here to vote!

Spring Dreaming

Yes, please. To all. Or even just one would suffice. Except if it's the sunglasses. If it's just the sunglasses then I'll also need a bag.

And the Winner Is...

The blue dress. I loved it. I know a lot of people hated it (Twitter went berserk right about the time she came out wearing it), but it was just so different and...that color. Also loved Cate's dress (again, more haters) and Gwenyth looked statuesque in Calvin Klein. See a recap of RZ's styling skillz on Anne here.

Be You, Be Loved

BHLDN (beholden), the highly anticipated wedding line from Anthropologie launches, quite fittingly, today.

We want to give a bride that edit she’s been searching for—with heirloom-quality wedding gowns, artisanal hair adornments, footwear, and lingerie. And we want happy bridesmaids—in mix-and-match frocks with rich hues and unexpected details.

Go here to see more of Anthro's twist on a time honored tradition.
