{almost} april showers

I wanna knoooooow- Have you ever seen the rain?I love CCR.I hate Wednesdays.

(how I truly look on rainy days)

As you can see below, I picked Party Pony as the style to rock my brand new turban today!I got tons and tons of complements.

Including some hottie in my history class, he thought the vintage look was oh-so-flattering :)THANKS, STRANGER!

I want to buy 1400 more turbans.Seriously, THE EASIEST way to rock unwashed hair and still look STYLISH.

A lot of my favorite bloggers sometimes go off on little rants (not necessarily negative) about things they feel strongly about in the almighty blogosphere.  As I gain more followers and find new blogs I love- I'm always reminded to stay true to my personal blogging beliefs.Cue mini-rant:I will always be sure to be the best representative of myself.  Meaning: The Bekah you see is ain't nothing but the real thang-baby.Sarcasm, eclecticism (is this a word?), vain notions that you may care about my posts beyond a glance.All that aside:  I want to be real, talk about real issues AND pretty things, get real feedback, etc.I may feel the need to post an OOTD, a picture of my dog, or a video of me lip syncing to Hanson.Or all of the above.You've been warned.
I hope you are here because you like my style, my attempt at humor, or my love of sparkles.That's all. Oh- I'm glad you're here, seriously. Stick around, there's more to see:- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Today's special: Read one post, get a blooper free!Enjoy!

rainy day wear & wishful wednesday

On a perfect rainy day, don't let the weather get you down.  The past few days have been wet and cold, but you're outfit should not suffer.  Brighten your day and the day of those around you by tying in some brightly colored pieces.
I love this look, because it has brighter colors but also a vintage feel with the tee and retro trench coat.Everyone needs some boots to jump through puddles in! Check it out!
Oh, and the Philosophy lip gloss looks good on everyone. It is my favorite!

Have fun getting dressed, no matter what the weather!

Wishes This Wednesday:

Love this keyring, very Sex and the City (movie), don't ya think?  Maybe it would bring me my own Mr. Big.  Not getting my hopes up, it is just a keychain.

And if the occasion, or necessity, even comes around when I can spend $200 on a shower curtain, I like the simple design of this one below.

And the thing I am wishing for the most on this Wednesday is a pleasant Spring, and soon!  And a strange urge to go on a picnic... So here is my first pre-Spring outfit.  And I am definitely adding this dress and MK shoes to my wish list and wearing it at the first sight of Spring.

wishful wednesday

We have done a little housekeeping and redecorating here at Matters of Merrymaking and I hope you like what you see.  We are definitely proud of our blossoming little flower, so continue to tell your friends and share our link on your social media outlet.

The middle of the week is a fine time to lust after items from our wish lists.  Here are a couple items I have had my eye on.

This space would be the fanciest and most enjoyable place to lounge and read a book.  The book shelves are my favorite part!  Wouldn't it be lovely?

How cute are these Valentine's Day cards? The inside reads, ""Sizzlin' hot and completely irresistible!" 

I mean, HOW CUTE?

I NEED these Hunter rain boots to get through all of the slush and ice left from the snow over the weekend.  And what better way to bring a pop of color in to your ensemble!?

via

I love this look from one of my daily reads, cupcakesandcashmere.com, it gives a neutral outfit a pop of feminine class and color.  I'm sold.

OOPS! How did this get in here? Oh no! Well, a girl can DREAM, can't she?

Happy Hump Day and I hope you all have a superb remainder of the week.
