courtney lately

it's time for another insta update...

so here is all that is new && now in my world, through the eyes of my iPhone && the magic of instagram

mix && maxi

i've got the blues .... && greens in today's mix && maxi post, an outfit that I wore to the duce in downtown phx.

 

for a day full of vintage shopping that ended && the darling duce (a vintage boxing ring turned event spade && sandwich shop) I had to pull out a casual courtney look...

vanilla

i'm craving something sweet...

&& today's creamy-vanilla girly-glam look hits the spot.

layering (yes, i'm hyping layering again, don't judge me) can help you transform a few pieces into very different outfits!

for today's outfit I layered an orange and white shirt over one of my favorite courtney green (yes, courtney green, not kelly green, because no one named kelly loves this color as much as I do) dressess. oh & if that didn't excite you, my pup waffles joined my for this post!

10 pieces >> 100 outfits!

this post is for the budget-ista && sets out to prove that you don't have to have a big closet to create countless outfits!

 So in today's post, let me show you how to make 100 outfits by investing in 10 new trendy pieces && working with the basics! Let's get started by looking at the 10 investment pieces you'll need to get the look!

video madness

please excuse my lack of looks in today's post, but I wanted to share some of my favorite ksny campaign videos! also I am hard at work for a big big big post coming your way next week with lots of outfits options! until then, check out this fantastic fall little number, here's the latest... i love the dots! I actually have polka dot nails as we speak...

poppy

today's post is all about the power of pattern mixing && a pop of color!

for this look i'm using a pop of poppy paired with b&w patterns to make a statement.

spring fever

it's that time of the year again: new york fashion week && all of the top designers are revealing thier spring 2013 collections! although, i didn't make it to nyc this year (tear) i've been a busy bee && glued to my laptop, streaming fashion shows online && hunting for sneak peaks of spring collections. of course, i had to share my absolute favorite collection, drum roll please... kate spade! lets take a peak...

yee-haw.

last week, I dined at rawhide... so of course I had to dress the part.

get the look.

since a country outfit isn't exactly my style, I was sure to bring out my inner cowgirl with a color me courtney twist...

color me complimented: bfb

I was one blushing blogger once again when the fabulous site black fashion bloggers flattered me with an interview && feature.

ahoy.

ahoy there, today's post is a nod to the nautical!

get the look.

but since navy is such a key color for nautical nonsense, and since i don't usually wear navy, i do nautically a little different than the norm. instead of anchors && sailboats, I go pirate-esuqe...

get the look.

alright matey, let's set sail.

prep.

p is for poised, polished && pretty in prep.

I've been watching a lot of old gossip girl reruns lately, and loving the preppy blair a la season one and two, sighhh. so although today's look is not very blair-esque, I was thinking of the preppy princess when I found myself inspired to put some prep in my step for today's outfit.

Sir Waffles

I wanted to take this monday post to introduce you to the new man in my life, waffles! We have only known each other for a few weeks, but I could not imagine living without him. Although no one is person, he is quickly learning to become the perfect gentlemen. So now without further adieu, I am going to hand the lease over to waffles himself, so he can introduce himself properly.

Hi there, I'm sir Waffles Leopold Nelson Fowler, but since I just met you & I already love you, you can call me Waffles. I am a fifteen week male old french bull dog currently residing in the great state of AZ. I hope you don't mind while I temporarily take over Color Me Courtney to tell you a little bit about myself...
