A-Z Series: R is For

Happy Valentine's Day! I have really been feeling the love lately in the blogosphere, and I can't thank you enough-it truly means the world to me! 

Not going to lie, I did a little happy dance at my computer when Mackenzie agreed to participate in the A-Z Series. Design Darling is one of my all time favorite blogs, and words cannot describe my excitement for Design Darling {the boutique}. Mackenzie is constantly inspiring and not to mention shares fabulous finds at handsome prices (i.e. budget friendly). I could not be more excited to have her with us today.

...............

Hi there! I'm Mackenzie from Design Darling and I'm excited to be guest posting on Carly's adorable blog A Simple Affair today. How fun is this series? My letter is "R" and here are some of my favorites...

Raspberries because they're delicious, healthy, and pretty. Rebecca Minkoff because I think I'd like to own every bag she's ever designed. Red and pink because, really, has there ever been a more festive color combo? Especially on Miss Emma Stone... Red lipstick because there's no easier way to feel instantly chic! Ruffles because I'm a girly girl through and through. Bonus points for backless! Redheads because I'm all in favor of embracing my natural color! And last but not least... Reading... of the blog and magazine variety, of course!

Thank you, Carly, for having me!

Fabulous picks Mackenzie-redheads has to be my favorite :)

Reading more often was one of my New Year's Resolutions, and I sadly have not acted upon that.  Good thing it's only February.  I will continue to work on that. 

I also adore my Ray-Bans and rag & bone skinny jeans [as seen here and here].

And last but most certainly not least, everything Rachel Zoe.  I'll take this dress with these wedges.  And can I meet you RZ?! Please and thank you.

Weekend Snapshot

As I mentioned earlier, Boyfriend B and I made our way to Florida this Friday.  We couldn't have asked for better weather upon arrival.  Of course I had to do some prep-work before our departure though.

On Thursday, I got a much needed manicure and pedicure to prep for the days at the pool and beach.  OPI Mod About You is one of my favorite opaque pink polishes.  That and Essie Fiji of course, but I couldn't find it at the salon so Mod About You it was.  On Thursday, I had every intention of going to E Street in Mequon to get a birthday present for a friend, but I left with a new pair of rag & bone jeans.  Remember when I was obsessing over colored denim?! I finally found a pair to call my own.  Not only do I love the color, but they are now the most comfortable pair of jeans in my closet.  Did I mention that they were 20% off too? Ya, I love them even more thanks to that.  I paired them with my Tory Burch Reva flats that I got for Christmas.   On Friday, I traveled with my favorite up-do.  It kept my hair out of the way and was high enough that I could attempt to sleep on the flight.

Since our travel day, we've enjoyed quality time with B's family.  I would be lying if I didn't say Florida was beautiful. See what I mean:

Hope you all had an incredible weekend! It sounds like the Midwest has been plenty warm considering it's almost the middle of January.  Has anyone else barely had to wear their long Northface this year?

I'll be linking up with a {little} dash of ash for her Instagram Link Party!
