lazy days

As summer nears its final weeks I find myself trying to capitalize on every drop of summer freedom I can get. That means breaking out all my sun dresses and heading outdoors for some adventuring. This is one of my all time favorite dresses from Free People. I simply adore the timeless cut and floral and dot pattern. To get a little bit of a Western look I paired it with my favorite pair of lace-ups. 

Happy Summer!

It's always tough trying to settle on the perfect bag for the day and whether or not you are the lucky owner of this season's It Bag, it's always a relief when a simple, blank canvas of a bag springs forth from the depths of the design houses. It's especially nice when said bag comes in a variety of colors, prints, and textures. Conveniently, this season Comme de Garcon has created a plethora of zippered pouches. They're perfect transitional pieces for any wardrobe and are all under $200. 

I haven't had a chance to purchase one myself, but I did find a lovely substitute in this Tory Burch wristlet!

oh, marc!

I hate to say it, but the functionality of deathly high heels is often questionable. Now, that's not saying I don't have a weak spot for a great pair of heels, but sometimes your feet just need a break! The problem is that a lot of people struggle with finding shoes that maintain the chic factor while losing the heel. For that reason, I am so excited about owning these Marc Jacob mini pumps! Comfy and cute, seriously, it doesn't get better than that.

brush it off

I had such a blast shooting this outfit with my friend, A, yesterday. I'm definitely indulging my not so secret obsession with retro clothing. Sometimes all you need is a good pair of disco pants and a peasant top. Bowl hats don't hurt either. Personally, I'm, not really one for chiffon, but somehow this shirt has caught my fancy. You know what they say, there's a first time for everything.
