Bright and Bold

Nothing says summer like Bright - Bold color choices. I love how this season is littered with brightly patterned prints and a mish mash of color combinations.

There was no mish-mashing here, but definitely bright and bold. To offset the tartness, I used a grey clutch and comfy booties. This look went straight from day into night.

First off the List

First off my "Summer Hit List" - crossed it off, checked the box. My brightly plaid pinafore dress arrived in the mail via EBAY just a few days ago.

It was pure joy when I realized it was a perfect fit and exactly what I hoped for. Lately I have been reminiscing about the pinafore dresses worn by Carrie Bradshaw. There is something so girly and playful about the look.

Just the right thing for a warm summer evening.

Society Girl of the Week: Sunshine Loves You

She stands out and has an oddly, interesting, amazing sense of style. She seems to create and add elements to each look that are signature to only her.

Her style is not bound to a "celebrity-driven" look and I absolutely love that. She defines a new style and has become her own icon.

She is our Society Girl of the Week..

A New Color Combination

As usual searching for inspiration in new places - I found it in a new blog Fruchtzwerg Island, where she simply says she's an "average girl writing about her average interests, life and stuff which are coming into her mind." Though the thoughts coming into her mind are anything but average.

She inspired me to look in places I hadn't yet discovered, and the latest being Harper's Bazaar Korea! Check out the most incredible unique wedding editorial in history. It was one of these photos that took me by surprise and motivated me to step into some new color combinations.

Summer Hit List

It's that time again. Time to compile a list of things to keep my eyes open for during the summer season. It may seem a bit greedy to compile a list of "wants", but actually I think it prevents over-spending or instant-gratification-spending.

All these items have been on my mind for a while now. Instead of buying something quickly and then regretting spending the money on something I don't really need, I find I am more excited and appreciative for the things that I saved up for or spent time considering (as in planning out outfits in my mind that would go with each item).

So here's my Summer Hit List.. do you have one?

Clockwise: Steve Madden Platforms, Vintage Inspired One-Piece, Plaid Pinafore dress from ebay, Tribal Inspired Grecian Sandals, Gryson for Target Bag, Converse High Tops in RED, Ghetto-fab dress

Instant Outfit: Blazers

There is nothing I have leaned on more this season than blazers - a black blazer, military inspired blazer, navy blazer - it has been my go-to item.

The blazer can be layered over any look and give it a new twist. Something as casual and cool as a t-shirt and jeans shorts all of a sudden receives a spin when the blazer is thrown on top. There is nothing more surprising than a maxi evening dress paired with the sophisticated blazer.

It is not just for the office anymore - make it work with anything.

Simplicity is Calling My Name

Sorry for the long absence! I am back now and going strong after days of sunshines, relaxing and reading.

Simplicity is calling my name in this warm wonderful weather. Less layers - more freedom, in sandals and simple dresses.

Society Girl of the Week: Zoe Kravitz

She is the new bohemian. She owns this niche.

She is the daughter of two interesting and artistic parents. Taking inspiration from her mother and father she has developed her own style.

I now want to pull out all the flowy dresses, floppy hats and moccasin boots stuffed in my closet. She is our Society Girl of the Week...
