Dress, sandals, clutch, and bracelet: (c/o) MissGuided Continuing on with this week’s current theme of summer appreciation (let’s just run with it), I’m making some big summer plans for the impending lazy weekend.  Those plans consist of the two B’s: beach and BBQ, in that order.  This weekend we’ve supposedly got a heat wave and (…)

I got into an elevator yesterday, and someone asked how my summer was going.  It’s a normal enough question, but for some reason it surprised me.  Stuck in the mundane day to day, adulthood summertime is a little different than the summers of childhood, and “summer break” can be, well, nonexistent.  That said, summertime is (…)

Forever 21 blouse and shorts; Matisse “Linda” heels (c/o) (more sizes here); Beirn bag; Karen London bracelet and ring; Gorjana necklace; Michael Kors watch In anticipation of those inevitable too-hot-to-get-dressed summer days, I scooped up this feather-weight blouse and easy printed shorts last weekend at Forever 21.  There’s pretty much no better combo to beat (…)

When it comes to summer florals, there are a couple of different roads to take.  There’s the muted-hued subtle approach (seen on yesterday’s maxi skirt) or the full-blown, in-your-face garden variety, like the flippy dress above.  Pair this backless number with spot-on ruffled heels, chunky gold jewelry, and a woven leather clutch for a statement-making, (…)

Dress from random boutique; H&M clutch; Karen London bracelet; Henri Bendel bracelet; C. Wonder cuff; Michael Kors watch; Gorjana necklace and rings; Ray-Ban sunglasses; Target sandals A lightweight jersey maxi dress is the perfect way to save my hot and bothered arse in un-air-conditioned Orange County this summer (hence, an extensive collection in my closet), (…)

Lately it seems like every time I’m out shopping I’m drawn to every flowy and lightweight, borderline sheer blouse in the building.  (And can you ever really have too many?)  It’s the perfect warm weather companion to any skinny jeans, leather shorts, wide-leg silk pants…the list goes on and on.  Today’s look is a bit (…)

Riller & Fount dress (old, but love the new crop at Revolve); Margaret O’Leary sweater (c/o); Booties (c/o) Lulu’s; Urban Outfitters bag; TLC & You bracelet (c/o); Vanessa Mooney necklaces; Boera ring (c/o) Although summer is in full effect here, it still gets pretty chilly by the beach once the sun goes down, so I (…)
