Forever 21 Skirt on Friday

J. CREW Sweater (similar here)
J. CREW Black Ballet Flats
FOREVER 21 Skirt (similar here)
LANCASTER Paris Handbag

Fridays are meant for wearing skirts, don't you think? This flippy little number is from Forever 21. I picked it up a couple of summers ago. The bright floral print mingling with the dark background caught my attention. Since it can cool down at night, I chose a black ribbed sweater from J. Crew and ballet flats as the final touch. The red bag was the fun accessory I just had to have. ..Voila!

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND !!!

Chambray Romper and Cowboy boots

Tulle cardigan, Forever 21 chambray romper, Aldo beanie, Asos studded ankle boots, Vintage faux Chanel bag

The weekend before last was the exact opposite, weather wise. The sun was shining, the birds chirping and the rain nonexistent. We went to the park for a picnic. I brought along Life & Style magazine, Subway, potato salad and homemade pasta salad. I'm getting hungry just remembering it all over again. I wore my chambray romper that I can't help but imagine Kate Bosworth owning a similar style. The studded ankle boots and chain bag were thrown in to add just enough edge to the sweet, light wash denim. Even though Spring and Summer are basically here it's still kind of chilly. Enough so, I needed the cardigan and beanie. As much as I miss Miami, summers there weren't always picture perfect. Most of the summer is filled with rain and way more humidity than any girl can really hope to handle. I don't miss wearing tank tops and shorts or flip flops April through August. It's nice being able to layer and adapt to four different seasons every year. I do miss the beaches though...

Life is Dolce!

A peek at what inspired this outfit. D&G Spring/Summer 2010. Alexa Chung in the Topshop denim shirt that motivated my purchase. Burberry socks and sandals. Vampires and vintage ray bans. Saloons, the 1950's and blueberries...

(Ph. December 2009)


When I'm stuck in a style rut I look to Alexis Bledel and Sarah Jessica Parker for inspiration. I believe a balanced blend of quirky and traditional initiated the Carrie Bradshaw or Rory Gilmore in every girl.


Which Celebrity do you draw inspiration from?

A-Tisket, A-Tasket

Part of the appeal of Summer is the Sun, beach, sand and all things ... Nautical! I remember first buying this dress for its adorable navy blue detailing, starchy fabric and flattering cut. I always admired it on Mischa Barton, too.

When I first started compiling items for Miami, I couldn't help packing this little dress in. A bit Cheerleader yet very Sailing ready, full steam ahead.

Missed the Boat

Dragonflies look so mystical.

My favorite denim vest!

I feel on top of the clouds in these shoes...

A skirt with pockets is so ideal.

My first afternoon in Florida was spent in Marco Island. I enjoyed ice cream sandwiches, iced lattes, running in the beach, drinking Odwalla (oh how I missed it!) Any retailers in NC by the way? I chased dragonflies and soaked up the Sun.

Butterflies and Hurricanes

Obakki scarf, Forever 21 raincoat and khaki shorts, Jeffrey Campbell Snick wedges, Vintage Teal puffy shoulder top, YSL arty ovale ring.



I feel as if I am becoming quite the Jeffrey Campbell aficionado. I can't help it. I love shoes.



My YSL ring makes another debut & I find it funny that the only finger she fits on is my middle left one. Alexa Chung wears hers the exact same way.



The scarf I am wearing is by Obakki and I am very excited to share the story behind it. The Obakki Foundation went to Cameroon, Africa and gave 150 children living in three orphanages a piece of paper and a pen, and asked them three questions: What makes you happy? What makes you sad? What makes you afraid? 100% of proceeds go directly to helping the children. Every heartfelt answer they wrote down is scrawled all over this scarf.

Now I ask you: What makes you happy, sad, and afraid?

I would enjoy hearing some of your song recommendations. I'm in a dark dollhouse meets romantic Vampire mood. I recently tweeted and received some really great responses. Would love to hear some more...
