Primary

Dress:  J.Crew (old, cute option here under $20!, another cute option here), Shoes:  Alexander Wang (affordable alternative here),  Bag:  Louis Vuitton (love this similar alternative, similar here), Necklace:  Baublebar (I may need the matching earrings too!), Sunnies:  Ray-Ban

My yellow dress fit in perfectly with the green, blue and red Adirondack chairs in our yard, completing the primary color scheme.

I picked up these shoes on major sale at Barneys a few weeks back, and I'm completely obsessed. I obviously NEEDED another pair of tan shoes in my extensive collection {detect the sarcasm}, but the price was just too good to pass up.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

A Monday Mini

Top:  Equipment ~ on sale! (also here, here, alternate color here), Skirt:  J.Crew (similar here, also liking this fluted option), Shoes:  Zara (old, great option here, here under $40), Bag:  Louis Vuitton (LOVE this similar bag), Aviators:  Ray-Ban

Keeping it short and sweet today {this post and my skirt}. 

My husband and I had a spectacular weekend ~ Saturday in particular. We enjoyed a bottle {or two} at the winery, and then tried a new restaurant that we just LOVED.

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Back to Business

Top:  J.Crew, Skirt:  J.Crew (old, similar here), Bag:  Louis Vuitton (LOVE this similar option), Shoes:  Burberry Prorsum ~ on sale! (also here), Aviators:  Ray-Ban

This past weekend was one of those weekends that you never want to end. We celebrated the 4th at my summer stomping grounds - the Jersey Shore. 

The beach was absolutely beautiful, and my husband and I had the most relaxing time.

But all good things must come to an end, and yesterday it was back to the daily grind.

I felt a little like a watermelon with my green skirt and pink shoes, but if it's wrong to dress like your favorite fruit, then I don't want to be right.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

Scalloped Seersucker Shorts

Top:  H&M (old, similar here), Shorts:  Lilly Pulitzer, Shoes:  Anthropologie, Bag:  Louis Vuitton (love this budget-friendly option), Sunnies:  Ray-Ban, Belt:  H&M (similar)

My love for all things scalloped continues, and scalloped PLUS seersucker makes these shorts that much better.  I sometimes have a problem finding shorts that are the perfect length but these definitely fit the bill.  Too long makes my legs look short, but too short and I'm showing butt-cheek {which no one wants to see}.  These are just long enough to cover my rear and still lengthen my legs.

Cool, Calm, And Collected

Top:  J.Crew (similar), Jeans:  Henry & Belle c/o PB&J Boutique, Shoes:  Anthropologie, Bag:  Louis Vuitton (loving this similar bag for under $60!), Hat:  Urban Outfitters (old, similar here), Sunnies:  Ray-Ban

I may look cool, calm, and collected in this picture, but in fact I'm freaking out because I'm super-clumsy and about to fall from this window ledge {only about 5' off the ground}.  At least it made for an interesting shot!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Light As A Feather

Dress:  Anthropologie (last year, a little pricy, but best alternative that I could find, top version here), Sandals:  J.Crew, Bag:  Louis Vuitton (awesome alternative here under $60!), Sunnies:  Ray-Ban, Bangles:  Forever 21, Earrings:  Tory Burch

 

This dress may go down as my favorite of all time.  The color and texture are perfection and it is by far the most comfortable garment I have ever put on my body.  Normally a shapeless dress does not work for me, but there is something about this dress that compliments a straight figure.  Best part, you could eat a six-course meal and no one would be the wiser.  Gotta love a dress that hides the after-dinner bloat!
