as i mentioned last week, i am now living in a poolhouse. sad thing is i really haven't gotten a chance to utilize the pool because minnesota weather is highly bipolar. it makes for a nice backdrop for outfit posts though. i really ought to start unpacking, mainly because i need to find a hairbrush - the 'fro is clearly getting outta control.

picked up this perfect little black dress at one of arrow's epic sales. due to the fact that it leaves little to the imagination, i man-repelled it by throwing on a flannel + booties. 

Plaid, Chambray + Root Beer.

no, i'm not talking about the newly born wills jr. - referring to my recent relocation from apartment into pool house where i haven't gotten my wifi situated yet, hence the lack of posts. haven't done much to the place, still trying to figure out my storage space sitch. religiously scouring pinterest for creative closet ideas and craigslist for a pretty armoire. how do you organize your shoes/clothes? send me tips, ideas + photos! in the meantime, here are some android-quality pics of the new place.

What would Beyonce do (WWBD)? I don't know, but I totally think she may or may not have paired an evening dress with a 5 panel. For no other reason than for the pure pleasure of creating, Sarah decided she wanted to do a shoot inspired by B. and I do have to say these photos make me wanna put a ring on it. Just a little. Hop on over to L'etoile to read up on a Q&A we did on this spread.
