♥…festoon each and every one of your ten fingers in flamboyant cocktail rings? The more theatrical the better!♥…plan an early-morning picnic for one on your front porch to watch the sunrise? No bedhead or pajamas allowed; be colorful in your before-breakfast style! Slip Diane von Furstenberg’s Weekend Suede Flat Boots with Ankle Wrap in Indigo on your feet to ensure toasty toes, slide mark’s Warm Welcome Turtleneck Scarf in Magenta around your chilly neck, rim your eyes in Metalliner Hook Up Eye Glam in Quick Silver, and snag a mug brimming with steaming hot chocolate from the kitchen before situating yourself in a lawn chair and delighting in the dewy daybreak.
♥…surprise a friend by putting together a mixtape constructed of songs that make you think solely of them? Think of a clever name for the finished product, decorate the cover with cute stickers or doodles penned by yours truly, and pop it in the post. Perhaps next week your pleased pal will return the favor!
♥…devote an entire week to VIP styles you adore? Dress the part of Miroslava Duma on Monday, get retro as Twiggy on Tuesday, wow as Rachel Bilson on Wednesday, effuse sophistication as Olivia Palermo on Thursday, get wild and crazy as Lady Gaga on Friday, be bohemian beautiful like Vanessa Hudgens on Saturday, and go preppy as Blair Waldorf on Sunday. Enlist the assistance of your BFF’s – fashion is always more fun in numbers!
♥…allocate an afternoon to museum hopping? Visit the Fairmount Park Houses at the Philadelphia Museum of Art; take a gander at glowing history at Los Angeles’ Museum of Neon Art; or channel your inner Nancy Drew at Washington D.C.’s International Spy Museum. As for me…I’ll be admiring Samuel F.B. Morse’s Susan Walker Morse (The Muse) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Catch me if you can!
Fashionably yours!

Have a stunning day!

The early-morning picnic sounds lovely! What better way to start the day then to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate while watching the sunrise? Perfect! :)
first off...VIP style dressing is such a fab idea! i have done that time to time...but never for a week straight. just makes fashion more fun!
and all that museum talk...*sigh*...
I do number2 quite often! Haha channeling my inner Phoebe Buffay :D
I want those rings in all my fingers... they are so huge and fabulous.
And the Alexander Wang gunny sack, I want it. But it's sold-out? Hahaha!
These posts are always so inspiring! I love them!
:)
I would love to go out in the fields and splurge on something I really love. I need spring to arrive, pronto! xoxo

Love your blog AND love the idea of an early morning picnic for one, how lovely {but must wait until after this rainy week passes}. Hoping to do it and report back :)

I like the idea of the mix tape, and dropping it in the mail. How wonderful to get not a letter, but music, in our mailboxes? A nice surprise, indeed!
I love the week of VIP styles... I will dress maybe as Twiggy and then as Audrey Hepburn and Sophia Loren, Grace Kelly I'm so retro!!!... so many styles... Have a great day darling!!!
So much I want to do now!
Soon as the weather gets warmer, I am arranging a picnic with the hubs, a week of VIP styles and museum hopping, yes please!
Happy Wednesday, love!

love the "plan an early-morning picnic" idea. Our backyard patio has the perfect serene view =)
I love mixtapes... or rather, mix CDs! I think they're such personal presents.
I want an early morning picnic!
cute post! haha I just made a mix cd for a friend the other day, what a coinsidence! And yeah boo to people who microwave seafood, I would like to open a can of tuna at their desk and start eating it infront of them, see how they like the fishy smell lol
I didn't know that you were supposed to make a wish when blowing on a dandelion! lol The mixtape is right on - I want to make mix CDs for my friends in VA.
I'm so doing the week of VIP styles. Thank you for the idea :)
Jessica :P
I would love to sit out on my front porch with my hubby because we have 2 brand new rocking chairs to sit in :)
Ooooh, stop tempting me with shopbop!!! i'm trying to hard to resist it!
Cute post. I'm in for VIP dressing. I'll take Roisin Murphy's style anyday!

I love those cocktail rings. The one of the key is my favourite!
The idea of planning an early morning picnic is great. I may have to do it as soon as it gets warmer.
And I think I will devote a week (or month) to styles I adore!
I love Wednesdays here.
Great tips my dear. Have a great day! I am trying to stay dry. : )
As someone just said, another inspirational post from you [:
I could do with an early morning picnic tomorrow!
museum hopping! genius.

great tips :) ( as usual)
i am obsessed with fashion as well!

how sweet! I want to do all of these. Especially the picnic :)
I love your ideas and while I adore cocktail rings I'm not sure about one on *every* finger.
Have a great day!
Loving your ideas! The morning picknick will have to wait until it gets a bit warmer though. It seems many have picked up on the Gunny bag idea... It's sold out. Shame! Sabine x
I am dying over the Alexis Bittar crystal encrusted cocktail ring. DYING!
Fabulous post my dear !
Gosh i love these posts! I saw one of them featured on Independent Fashion bloggers! You are SO awesome, girlfriend :)
I absolutely adored this post! Such charming ideas that I 'm definitely going to have to try one of these days.
I love your blog and gave you an award for it! Check it out on my blog :)

awe, i want to watch the sun rise on my nonexistent front porch in a gorgeous outfit!
:)
You know what, a week of VIP styles is a brilliant idea... I think we should all do it and blog the results! I am getting way too comfy with my personal style and need to shake things up a little! :)
Rings on all my fingers!! YAY!!!
I love these posts. They are so fresh and creative!
Thanks :)
Nice things to do!
Oooh I LOVE the idea of cocktail rings on all my fingers... FAB... FUN!!!!
fun list! I love the early morning brunch, but I have no balcony :(
Oh such good ideas. Work puts a dampener on a few but I shall be industrious and give it a shot. except maybe for the retail therapy. I have enough therapy to last me at least 6 months

Love this post, I may have to do some of these!
i like the idea of cocktail rings!
also love the idea of spending a week dressing vip-style (i adore miroslova)
museum hopping is also a must...one day wen i live in a city with more than 1museum...
can i also say that honey you bring glamour
Oh the rings, the rings!
I love the dress in that photo!! And those do sound like some good ideas!!
Check out my blog at allthingsvogue.blogspot.com
Fabulous list!! I love absolutely everything you've mentioned on this post. Dandelions, rings, picnics, museums.. all wonderful suggestions.
erika, your comment about my roomy should've signed up for a single is the most spot on comment ever! you're so right, she clearly cannot/doesn't like living with others I dunno why she tries to. currently she's on a long phone convo while I'm trying to study...wtf ugg haha
I'm liking the "dandelion" wish instead of the "he loves me, he loves me not."
Sound advice my lady.
i always love reading your Why Don't You posts, Erika! I'm always dreamy after!
I absolutely ADORE this post! Bravo :-) I especially love devoting an entire week to VIP styles..brilliant!
i want to dress VIP style all year round...VIP being miroslava duma. she's the one who inspired my bangs. gawd i love her.
I still make mix tapes! Well OK, CD's. And you've inspired me to walk over to the MET this week... I don't take advantage of what's here!
Dangerous advice to cat all buyers remorse aside! But I think I am just going to have to do it anyway. <3
I definitely have spent money on many a cocktail ring, mostly because it's fun to have people ask you when you got engaged. Have a terrific Thursday, dear!
amazing tips as always!! love that photo!!
i'm totally blaming you if the Gunny Sack ends up in a box at my front door shortly... :) what buyer's remorse?!
I wish I could do all these but now I have to study:((:((
I love that you never run out of suggestions for great ways to spend a day. :-)
hah, love the vip dressing and museum hopping. :] Will totally do that.
Love your blog! And thanks for featuring TheCutestStickers.com!
Thanks for stopping by my website! I'm flattered :) (And yes, Courtney Brims' work is amazing, glad I could share it with you!).
