A Little Love Affair

My major love affair with maxi dresses continues. The first dress is my little Mother's Day treat from H&M that I got.  Yay! Then... I found these. For quite some time, I've been smitten with the amazing and beautiful tie-dyes that Shabd is My Name makes. I took a little visit to the online shop a couple days ago only to fall in love with these oh so pretty maxi dresses. That blue/purple one is just calling my name. Or screaming "own me".  I can't tell which...

Dears, what's your go-to outfit for this Spring/Summer?

Girl Crush: Madrid Girl

I recently ran across this lovely lady from Madrid, Spain and immediately had a crush on her. Take the first picture. Sexy librarian glasses, bright blazer, striped shirt, perfect boyfriend jeans, and THE shoes! Oh wait, did I forget her fabulous ombre hair or messy braid? Perfection from head to toe. As you can see, she has a cool sense of style all the time. If ya need me I'll be vigorously taking notes...(sigh)

So why is it that European girls are all-together more stylish than American girls? Really? What is it that we haven't figured out yet? Any thoughts?

Friday Favs: Maxi Dress

This weeks favs are all about the maxi dress. Whether you wear it by itself, with a linen shirt, a cardi, or a denim jacket, the maxi dress is a wardrobe staple this Spring/Summer. It's a look that works no matter what shape or size you are and there are so many ways it can be worn. So I've pulled together 3 looks to show some of the ways this look can be styled.

P.S. I'm currently lusting after some Gypsy05 maxi's, very popular with the Hollywood crowd, but such cute patterns.

Outfit 1
Druzy pendant, trio ring, gray maxi, linen shirt, wrap bracelet, espadrilles, satchel unknown
Outfit 2
Bauble of pearls pendant, linen cardi, abstract maxi (on sale), wood cuff, Badgley Mischka espadrille
Outfit 3
Pendant necklace, Issa silk maxi, denim jacket, earths gifts ring, suede gladiator

Perfect Spring Look

 

Yes to everything in this outfit featured in Anthropologie's Spring catalog! Who else wants to run out and get a yellow belt like that?

Love this look: Sheer Skirts

The Sartorialist did a series of photos of women informally wearing these pale, sheer skirts and I'm having a hard time not running out and grabbing one for myself. It's just such an ethereal and airy look. I can think of so many ways I could and would wear this. Don't you love this woman who styled it with flats and a comfy sweater?

What do you think kiddos? Would you dare to wear?

Friday Favs: Color Block

It took me all day because the weather was just too nice not to be lazy today, but dagnabbit I told you I'd get this post up today and here it is!!

Today's Friday fav's are all about the color blocking trend that rocked the Spring runways.  If you can't tell, I'm kinda crazy for color lately, so this trend makes me a very happy girl.  What makes me even happier? When it's all mashed together in one genius ensemble.  When pulled off right, it's awesome!  So, I wanna know dears, what are your thoughts on this trend? Are you brave enough to try it out?

1. Amrita Singh bangle 2. Color clutch 3. Ban.do heart headband 4. Kurt Geiger wedge (drool) 5. Color-block tote 6. Marc by Marc Jacobs dress

Smitten Kitten: Three Little Ducks

I am so, so smitten with Australian clothing line Three Little Ducks.   The summer collection is filled with classic, yet beautiful pieces that are totally amazing. I would wear and love every single piece in this collection.  I can't wait to see what they come out with for fall/winter!

P.S. I am obsessed with with those Charlie Pants (bottom pics) and might die if I don't have them.

They also have an Etsy store and a lot of their Summer clothing is on sale right now!

Friday Favs: Spring Essentials

Although it's been Spring here for a couple weeks, it's official everywhere else now too. Yay!! Time to stock up on some Spring essentials.

Spring Fashion: Carolina Herrera

Happy first day of Spring!! Although it's been spring here for months, it's raining today. It was love at first sight when I first saw the bold floral prints of Carolina Herrera's Spring line, so they are the perfect anecdote for today's gloomy day. Oh how I wish I could play dress up today in these clothes. I'm bananas over that coral number!!
