Cycling Shorts





What are you all planning for the long Holiday weekend? I will be baking a big vanilla cake and topping it off with vanilla frosting and pastel sprinkles. Attempting a banana cream pie. And cooking up a storm of rice, ham and potato salad. I hope to take some pictures of all the food.



I finished reading Catalyst by Laurie Halse Anderson last night. If it were ever made into a movie I can easily envision Kate Bosworth in the lead role. If you have read the book, tell me who you think should play Kate Malone. What about Teri Litch? Mitchell Pangorn? Reverend Malone?



Volcom jumper. American apparel lace cycle shorts. Incandations earrings. Forever 21 bag. Jeffrey Campbell Potion boots.

The cycling shorts make me think of that recent Alexa Chung candid where she was wearing them and there was a long tfs debate about whether they were chanel or not and if they're making a comeback lol. such a great casual look + i am in love with drawstring bags atm...even if i don't own any ;)

Happy Easter! Your cake sounds delish ;)

Tessie said...

This pink tone is so sweet for Easter. I like the shorts underneath the romper. Fantastic braid.

I'll be cooking up a feast as well for the family. ;-)

French Frosting said...

Smooth style. I like the pink tint. It's kind of like my post today about PINK frosting. Lovely in lace. Like Alexa Chung and her Chanel ones. Great idea to put it under the onesie like that.

YUM YUM FOOD! down for that....

...your stoic facial expression in the last shot reminds me of a Native American Princess. I like the Jessica Simpson (circa Newlyweds) vibe of your earrings.

Probably, Mr.Freddy and I will be painting eggs.
Sweetie, Love the cycling shorts!

Happy Easter!

Anna G said...

I love the idea of wearing lace shorts underneath a jumper. I've been looking for some, I'm glad American Apparel is nearby.

April M said...

I;'ve read that book Kate Bosworth would be cool as Kate Malone good call. I dunno who to cast as Teri or Mitch though.. :S maybe newcomer for Teri but Jake Gyllenhaal would be a great nerdy but sexy Mitch huh? ;P

This outfit is genius! What a fab way to wear a romper, so original (as usual) :)
Your Easter menu sounds wonderful, very similar to ours, can't wait to see pics!

Syed (dapper kid) said...

LOVE those boots!!!

eda said...

I love these cycling shorts, the colour is slimming, the lace is feminine and classy, however my only criticism of them, are you have to have rather slender toned legs due to the fact the material is rather clingy to the thigh area. However, you look fabulous in them!
Ive just started my own fashion blog and I'd really appreciate all the support I can get from other fashion followers, so feel free to follow my blog!

Anika said...

Ooooh, you're tempting me with those JC shoes. I adore them on you, Miss Long Legs ;)

And I will be baking too. A simple marble cake (family recipe) should do it, but I'm also tempted to bake a tiramisu layered nut flake cake. Yum.

And the Prada is a pair of rare Prada wedges (wood architecture pole wedge heel....hard to explain, I'll just take a pic).

:D

Have a great weekend

AL said...

haha, ptsd is "post traumatic stress disorder" common in military who return home and have flashbacks to war... i was not cute in 80's, so it brings back memories of my tragicness... the mushroom hair cut... and oh the clothes... scary :) you pull it off brilliantly
