Craving: Off The Shoulder Dresses

{images via}

I have been a serious smitten kitten with off the shoulder dresses as

of late. And these 2 street style photos have been the ultimate
inspiration! I'm all about showing shoulders...it's understated,
sexy, and elegant.  

GET THE LOOK...

Chambray Shorts

 Shirt (similar here + here)  //  Shorts  //  Heels (similar here)  //  Celine Clutch  //  Sunnies

You know when you buy something and it ends up

being a piece that you can wear countless times and

never get sick of it? That's this polka-dot top (seen

here, here and here)...Sometimes I impress myself with

my good decisions. Ha!

So I paired the blouse with my new comfy (elastic waistband

for extra comfort) chambray shorts, added some pumps and

dressed up this otherwise casual look! 

Hope you all had a great weekend.

Vintage Sparkle

Vintage Azzaro Sweater  //  Zara Shorts  //  Balenciaga Heels  //   Vintage Judith Leiber Clutch  //  Ray Ban Sunnies

Most of the vintage pieces I have are pieces that have either
been passed down to me or have been gifts from my mom.
Her eye for vintage is like no other! She bought me this
amazing sweater in Florida and I may or may not have done
a happy dance when I laid eyes on it (we'll just leave the
dancing part up to your imagination :). It's the perfect
understated elegant sexy piece. Needless to say....
I'm smitten.

White Dress + Moto Jacket

A classic white dress with an edgy moto jacket....

aka: a perfect combination!

Have you figured out that I'm obsessed with mixing 

feminine and edgy pieces yet?! My fave.

Two things I'm stoked on right now...

My CRSL tees and these tropical shorts!

Both will be in serious rotation, I can guarantee it :).

Happy hump day.

Turkey & Brie

Over the weekend we headed out to a "Concert in the Park"

with some friends...not only was the company good but it was

Queen-Nation night. Nothing like an old time band hittin' the park 

circuit wearing wigs and tight pants to take us thru the night! 

I know you are green with jealousy right now, so

I won't go on any further. :)

Anywho, I was in charge of the grub for the evening and I 

wanted to make something that was quick, easy and delicious! 

I had some fig jam that I've been dying to use, so I decided on

Turkey, Brie and Arugula sandwiches with fig jam.

Party in my mouth.

What you need:

Sourdough Baguette

Honey Turkey (sliced thin)

Baby Arugula

Wedge of Brie

Fig Jam

Parchment Paper (or butcher paper)

Baker's Twine

Assemble, wrap and enjoy!

Striped

Top: (similar here)  //  Shorts  //  Loafers: Chanel  //  Bag  //  Sunnies

We had the best weekend of doing a whole lot of relaxing.

It was very much needed and I enjoyed every second... 

I was lazy and casual all weekend and it rocked!

On another note, how is it almost the end of July?

I honestly don't get it! I feel like I blink and another

month passes. Its just proof that I need to soak in

every day and every moment :) .

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Dots + Denim

Top: Alice Ritter x Gap  //  Jeans: Genetic Denim c/o  //  Bag: Chanel  //  Hat: old (similar here)  //  Heels: Brian Atwood (similar here)  //  Sunnies: Ray Ban

I don't know about you guys but when I find a good pair

of jeans that fit like a glove, I instantly become a crazy super 

fan and want to buy stock in the company. Sometimes finding

a pair of jeans is as hard as finding a freakin bra for me! You 

know the story....the ass fits but the legs are too loose or

the legs fit but the ass is too big. Needless to say I've met 

my new BFF and her name is Brynn. I'm pretty sure we'll 

be friends forever!

P.S. How rad is this Alice Ritter x Gap collabo? 

Love me some dots!

Outfit Inspiration: Ashley Olsen
