I am now dreaming of spring to be here. With the weather going all the way up into the 50s next week, I'm so ready to bring out my short-sleeve tees and flats again. It's calling my name and so are these embossed suede ankle strap flats. That Markus Lupfer Mermaid sweater is pretty fabulous also, especially with a pair of ankle pants?! Yes, please.

It's finally Friday and I am all ready to relax this weekend and enjoy spending time outside. Swimming pools will be opening up in a couple weeks, and I am a little excited because I think I'm ready to brave wearing a swimsuit in public again. I've always been super apprehensive about wearing something that clings to the body so easily, but I think that I only live once so I might as well be wearing something cute. Sites like ModCloth, H&M and Wallis Fashion are now all catering to the plus size market and it really helps boost morale within the community. Not only are they making these suits flattering, but they're mixing colors and prints that can accentuate your curves the right way. These are just some of the suits I found that really stood out to me, and I'm definitely thinking of purchasing one of them for the upcoming swim season. Why not take a leap and step out of my comfort zone? At least I'll feel a little beautiful while doing so. Which one of these suits would you pick? I'm feeling the lemon one, most definitely. Have a good Memorial Day weekend!

Happy Friday everyone! Mostly Lisa is prepping for the weekend by dreaming of the perfect picnic outfit. It's fitting since July is NATIONAL PICNIC MONTH! Did anyone know that? I sure didn't! I am hoping before the month ends I can actually go on a picnic, I haven't been on one since I was a little girl. I definitely think it will be a lot more fun now that I'm an adult because fruity alcoholic drinks will be involved.
So when picking an ensemble for this 'adult' picnic, I instantly thought of wearing a maxi dress! They are just so easy and so comfortable. It's an instant classic and key piece for your wardrobe.Then you have to have a great pair of sandals underneath that, and these ones from ASOS are so chic. They are a little on the expensive side, $110, but I figure they will last long and be a great transition into fall. I am also really in love with Target's FEED line they have going on right now, and so this bracelet is a nice touch to a relaxed outfit. You of course have to bring your picnic basket with you, this one even has holders for your wine bottles. (YES PLEASE!) Also, since the sun is going to be shining down on you during your perfect picnic, you want to make sure to protect your eyes. Make sure to grab a fab pair of sunglasses on your way out the door.

Hope you all have a great weekend. Pack a picnic basket and enjoy time with someone you love.
Always,
Mostly Lisa

Sssssay hi to one of my favorite trends for this spring. The snake print. According to the Lunar calendar, 2013 is the year of the snake, which makes this all the more fun. Snakeskin is practically everywhere, at least it was on the runway. Donning on handbags, shoes, jewelry, and made its way onto some gorgeous dresses (as seen in Erdem and Proenza Schouler). The print can be bold and unconventional, but it makes the perfect choice to add that edge to your wardrobe! It may seem intimidating at first to try to wear, but it can be easy to pull off. I am going to start off easy and mix it into an accessory, and then possibly a maxi dress.What do you think of this trend? Would you dare to slither into this trend?
Have a great weekend!

So Minnesota weather has been super cold over the last couple weeks. While everyone has been either been sick or is still battling a cold, I've been having a case of the winter blues. I tend to always get this way each year, it's gotten better since high school but I still battle it off and on. So I figure what better way to get out of these doldrums than a great post with some classy images? I'm sitting here listening to the Dario Marianelli station on Pandora, and it always seems to lift my spirt. Especially since the 'Pride & Prejudice' soundtrack pops up every so often.
But back to some more of my Friday Favorites! These will definitely help me get through the weekend, and I hope they will for you also!

Just a quick note, this entire collection took my breath away. He always just seems to create the most spectacular gowns that could be seen in a fairytale. I will never not love anything he creates. So special, and what a dream it would be to wear one of his creations.

I'd get out of the Winter blues quickly if I woke up in this bed.

And to end on this positive note, I hope you all have a great weekend!
