It's a rare case when I am in love with an entire collection, I usually only like a few pieces here and there. This collection though from Samantha Pleet is absolutely stunning. It's ethereal and filled with flowing movement. Deep hues are adorned on intricate prints. It's the perfect collection for Autumn.

Marchesa Fall 2013 RTW
While I had several different favorites from the Fall 2013 collections during NYFW, Marchesa was one of my top choices. This dress screams elegance and is something I would wear if I was a Princess in some far off land. If you want to see some of my other favorites from NYFW, LFW, MFW, and PFW check out my Pinterest!

I mean, how amazing is this? Gives me the urge to want to travel and find special places that could be just as beautiful as this.

Have a great Wednesday!

Target has come up with some awesome collabs in the past, but I'm really excited for this one they just launched. The Target + Prabal Gurung collection is full of bright florals, sheer blouses, neon dresses, and more. I personally cannot wait to stop at my local store and pick up some of these favorites. Do any of you have some must-have pieces from this collection?

I've really only recently begun to appreciate this holiday. It's not even just because it celebrates love, but I think it can also be about loving yourself. I don't look to this holiday as a cliche day to buy gifts for that special someone, I look at it now to love myself. So for the past few years I've taken the day to just pamper myself. I'll buy my own flowers and chocolates, and I'll watch 'Pride & Prejudice' by myself. It's taken a long time for me to be okay with being on my own on this holiday, but then I guess I'm really not. But here are just a few gifts I'd treat myself on this day. Hope you enjoy!

 
 
 
Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Wednesday! The week has been speeding past, I've been blogging nonstop for I've Got Your Style and it's so much fun. It's been giving me so much inspiration and different ideas keep floating around my head. But for today, it's a small post. Just a few wishes for items I would love to have in my closet!
 
Have a fabulous day!

Hey all! Hope your week has been going great. I've been busy with school and working, still fighting those winter blues but hoping to get out of the funk soon. One thing that has been helping is the magic of black and white. I know, I know, it's really a no brainer. These colors have gone together since the beginning of time and it really never goes out of style. This Spring though will have a little more clarity with stark contrasts of graphics and patterns. Inspiration from the 1950s and 60s bring looks full circle.

Have a great day!

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!
 
Always, Mostly Lisa

Happy 2013! I can't believe another year has gone past, and things are still going so well. Tons of things happened last year for me, and I hope this year will continue what I started working on. Keeping my fingers crossed for good things. I recently had surgery for a cyst to be removed in all places, the bellybutton, but it went well and I'm now fully recovered. Damn things itches though. I am slowly trying to work on updating my blog design and hopefully make it more presentable. So bear with me while things change. Even trying to find out if my I can change my blog domain name. Should be interesting.

For a start to the year, here is a little inspiration post. Images I've found through Tumblr and other sites. Give me good feels. Plus, I've entered a contest on ModCloth where you can win a YEAR full of dresses. So if any of you want to vote for me, I'd really appreciate that.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Here are a few of my favorite things for the Holiday season! These are at the top of my wishlist this year. Enjoy!
 
Oh, and you can't go wrong with a little Pre-Fall collection spam. Especially for 2013.
