Marlowe Mckerihan - The Blog

Is it spring yet? That's all. I would really like to jump into this outfit and not deal with the impending blizzard that is hitting Minnesota tomorrow. No ballet flats for this gal, for a long time!

UPDATE: I ending up returning it! Did not look great on my bobble head! Henry Ann, our lovely fur baby, chewed my favorite hat. A hat that is irreplaceable, because I picked it up in Berlin. We have a huge weekend coming up in Rochester. It's called SocialICE and it involves drinking outside in 12 degrees. I clearly needed to add a little style to my long North Face Puffer, faux fur scarf, and long undies (you know it). So while perusing Zappos I came across this Missoni headband for 50% OFF - hello Monday for the win! After confirming with Kelsey and Claire that I needed it in my life, I clicked purchase. Zappos VIP is the best and it will be here Wednesday! Make sure to check out my Instagram later this week to see how it looks! My username is McKerihan!  What are you wearing to stay warm! I'm coveting a pair of furry Sorels! 

I'm posting this from my phone right now. To be honest lugging my laptop into bed just seemed far too laborious. I had the greatest weekend at home with Adam and one of my MOHs, my sister, Emme. It was a big weekend and it left me drained. It's amazing how many emotions one can go through in 48 hours. This weekend is one I will never forget. It was so special to see Adam get so excited for our big day. The cake tasting and filet might have had something to do with it, but it was the sweetest thing ever. I brought my dress back with me to Rochester and he nearly shrieked, "Am I going to see it?!? NO!!!! I can't see it!" I reassured him it was safely covered in two garment bags. I keep imagining seeing one another for the first time and I get goosebumps (and cry). I could not be more excited to call this man my husband in a little over three months. He is truly one of a kind, so loyal, so sweet, and so good at bringing me back to earth. Sometimes I need to be ground...

Just a little paint I'm currently wearing on my face. I recommend the Nars Suede Lip Pencil, a million times over, in Hyde Park. It's the most gorgeous red/berry color. I also just started using Benefit's Erase Paste. This creamy concealer has a peach undertone that really does erase the blueish tones from under my eyes. I am addicted to cult classics Nars Laguna and Orgasm and I can't live without a good highlighting and contouring palette.

There is little I find more thrilling then a good deal. Today at lunch I ventured out to look for new workout clothes and shoes, and was sucked into the clothes department at Kohl's. For those of you that are sticking up your noses right now, might I remind you that Lauren Conrad, one of the best dressed ladies on earth (in my opinion) designs for them. I also might be biased at how fantastic it is because my best friend works there, and the company has strong Wisconsin roots; however, you can't deny the three items I snagged (for under $100) are adorable! I love these pieces because they are so versatile. I can wear each to work and from day to night. I go through black blazers like there is now tomorrow. Ann Taylor, J.Crew, Gap, Rachel Roy, Zara - they are all in my closet, but the polka dot sleeves on this jacket were too cute not to pass up. I can't wait to pair it with a denim shirt and glitzy necklace for work or with a striped top for running weekend erran...

Photo via A. Macy Hall  I'm not sure if you guys know this about me, but I'm willing to admit it freely: I love tassels. Stop it, your mind went there, not those kind of tassels. I love tassels on my neck, my wrists, my scarfs, and anywhere else appropriate. After a sweet like on Instagram I tapped on Amanda Macy Cheek Hall's Instagram to frankly stalk all her adorable photos, and with a name like that she's a gal after my own heart. Here is where I go on a tagent about names : I can't wait to be Molly McKerihan Dixon Grimm. I really don't want to give up my middle name of McKerihan. When I was little I thought it was so weird and cursed my parents for giving a name I couldn't spell until 5th grade, but now it holds a place close to my heart. If the future husband let's me I'd love to name our daughter McKerihan, I think it would be adorable. Back to tassels. On Amanda's Instagram she had the prettiest picture of a tassel neckl...
