wishlist wednesday

happy leap day! a slew of goodies for you today in this week's edition of wishlist wednesday, featuring some unique stud earrings (psst, they're affordable too!), a boot that is on my forever wish-list, and some fun items for spring. and how bad ass is that mug? i've seen one lying around the office here and there and always feel pretty awesome when i get to use it...to sip tea out of. whiskey seems more appropriate. note to future self. anyway, enjoy!

street style

i've always loved street style blogs, snaps and inspiration. today, i'm guest posting on running in heels, a fun blog authored by my blogshop buddy, emily, so be sure to check it out here. i also thought today would be the perfect day to kick off my street style series here on sunshine girl. my first post features the always-chic joanna hillman, senior fashion market editor for harper's bazaar, during london fashion week. let me know what you think about the new series!

four corners: striped tops

on my agenda this year: add more blouses to my wardrobe. they're versatile, good for layering, and instantly pull an outfit together. combine them with stripes, a trend that will stick around this season, and probably forever, and you've got yourself a solid pick. i've chosen a few of my favorites below, hope you like them!

q+a with..

i've got a super talented photographer up on "q+a with.." today, and her name is jennifer young. author of the awesome photography blog, i art u (i'm sure many of you have heard of it or have even stumbled upon it), jennifer is a master at capturing gorgeous light in her shots of moments, meals and more. not to mention, she is a breakfast fanatic (we have a love of pancakes in common!) and a generous, giving lady as well. i'm obsessed with her quote below, it's a nice reminder to remember how lucky we all are, and how it's important to give back. she's been on my regular reading list for awhile now and i'm excited for you to learn more about her. check it out below!

and more on jennifer's reading, traveling and eating likes below:

my favorite reads are: i've been loving kinfolk!

favorite place to travel to: favorite? ah! if i had to pick, it'd be singapore and nyc.

the best hotel i ever stayed at was: my husband and i were lucky to stay in a tree house at the hapuku lodge in new zealand during our honeymoon. it's not a hotel per se, but it was definitely my favorite!

my favorite food is: i love any type of breakfast food! breakfast for dinner is my favorite.

restaurant where i’m a regular: sally loo's wholesome café in san luis obispo. come for a visit and i'll take you there. :)

thank you jennifer, for participating in the series!

dynamic duo: top knots

a slightly updated layout for dynamic duo today, i'm trying to add a bit more color to my layouts. sorry for the lack of posting earlier today, and less frequent posting recently, i've been having some computer issues but they should all be worked out soon. i've also been feeling under the weather, so i'm aiming for lots of tea, sleep and hopefully, a speedy recovery.

anyway, topknots are all the rage, and i'm envious of ladies who can pull it off. my hair doesn't cooperate when i try this look but if i could, i would. in the meantime, i'll just be going crazy over gwen's chic 'do, not to mention her perfect coral lips.

study hall

i was totally in love with this high school-inspired shoot the moment i laid eyes on it. the model's gorgeous hair (with even more gorgeous pink roots) and the setting at venice high school are both pretty perfect. takes me back to the good ol' days.

i haven't done this post in awhile, but there's been so much great inspiration via pinterest and the web lately, i just wanted to share a few quick things. like the amazing shot of kate moss in her wedding dress below (which i will never get over), among other things...
