my spring '11 lookbook: casual sauce.

geez . . i've been trying to post something here for the last 2 weeks.  now i am sitting in front of my computer, trying to pound something out at 9 pm after a fantastic dinner out with my co-workers and i'm finding it difficult to focus completely after the 3 adult beverages i had.  what?  we have 70+-hour weeks coming starting this sunday.  give us a break already.

last saturday, m'lady jenn of roots of she came over and we did a little photoshoot.  it was great.  i broke out the greenish-blue seamless backdrop (and also made her go up on the roof and though seemingly so sunny and warm, it was COLD and windy - she's a Trooper) and went to town.  i bought balloons for the occasion (which shall be appearing over the next several weeks+, you'll see) to fulfill a vision i'd had for quite some time.  and jenn delivered.

isn't she lovely?
i decided while everything was set up and since it's officially all spring now (never-minding the snow that's supposed to arrive on saturday?), that i would embark upon a project to show you all my spring lookbook for 2011. er . . as i see it anyway. in raena's world. things that are being worn. by me. raena. indulge me for the next several weeks+, mkay?

so, first up, a casual outfit:


jeans: g-star; shirt: target; cardigan: anthropologie; shoes: crocs; hat: urban outfitters; other accessory: DOG

speaking of . . dude . . how cute is this dog with a balloon? amirite?


hot shower time. and i vow to not post until the morning when i can look this over and make sure it is not completely embarrassing makes sense.
