Girl Crush of the Week: Elizabeth Midgett

Would it be weird if I wore this to my rehearsal dinner too? AMAZING.
Every once and awhile, you come across someone who literally cracks your sh*t up. You know, the kind of person who, when you read her stuff, you gape at the sheer creativity and hilarity of her jokes. To us, Elizabeth Midgett is that person. From her analysis of Coachella "style" this year to her hilarious comments on our blog, Elizabeth is one funny broad.

Oh and if her sense of humor wasn't enough to sell us on Elizabeth, she's also one stylish broad! Co-founder of the fashion blog, The Now Stylebook, Elizabeth shares with us her fav fashions and lets us weigh in on seriously life-altering decisions. So shes funny, stylish and oh yes, pretty. What's not to love?! Get to know Elizabeth better as our latest Girl Crush of the Week:

  • Style icons? Kate Moss, The Olsen's & Vanessa Traina.
  • Design philosophy? Nothing is worth being uncomfortable in and quality over quantity!
  • Favorite book of all time? Bergdorf Blondes
Elizabeth, fellow Dallas blogger Haley Shultheis of nonsenseandsensibility 
and Annie Ceder, aka The Now's other half

  • Best advice you ever received? One of the best quotes I've heard is "You were born an original, don't die a copy." Such a great saying. Oh and be able to laugh at yourself!
  • Favorite stores? Neiman's, Barneys, Forty Five Ten, Topshop, Colette & Mercury Design in Austin for furniture and decor.
  • Dream place to live? New York City!

    Elizabeth and her husband, Matt.
    • The one product you're obsessed with right now? I'm pretty low maintenance when it comes to beauty products, but I just bought a "Wet Brush" by Luxor Pro and it is my life saver! Anyone with tangly hair will wonder how they lived without it!
    • Biggest indulgence? Shoes & handbags!!! 
    • Girl crush? Taylor Tomasi Hill, Kate Bosworth & Emma Stone. Oh & my latest girl crush is Lena Dunham. She wrote, stars and produces Girls on HBO and she is amazing!!!
    • Favorite song? Too tough to narrow down! Right now I LOVE Disparate Youth by Santigold.
    Petting sharks like a BO$$.
    • Prized possession? Do animals count as posessions? If so, I would say my dog, Pickles and cat, Brother. Also jewelry from my parents and grandparents and my rehearsal dinner dress! I think I love it more than my wedding dress.
    • Current hangout? My husband and I have become serious hermits!! We love to hangout in our house more than anywhere else.
    • Motto? Don't take things too seriously!
      Me and my good friend, Lisa at my engagement party.
      • Best place on earth? Bora Bora, French Polynesia or in bed with my husband, dog and cat. We all sleep together..ha!
      • Favorite drink? La Croix or Arnold Palmer.

      Totally cool chick right?! I'm glad we are aligned. For more style and laughs, feel free to stalk follow Elizabeth via the following:
