Mini Hiatus

Hi Everyone!  Mei & I will be taking a mini Hiatus...As I've had an unexpected health related issue that came up recently.  

Stay healthy and we'll be back soon!

French Terry & Peplum

I've been loving all things peplum lately...Today, I decided to give it relaxed look by pairing the skirt with a french terry sweatshirt.  Comfort and femininity, my favorite!

Out and About

There's nothing easier than wearing denim, tee, and a jacket.  It was unexpectedly chilly today so I had a chance to wear a jacket.  I can't wait until it really cools down and I can start layering my sweaters with jackets.  What's your go to outfit?

Cheers~

Kimono Trench

To me, this piece looks like a hybrid between a trench, because of the length and a kimono because of the structure of the armhole.  It's made out of a  thin wool/cashmere blend and is lined with silk so it feels like butter.  Usually in the winter, I'll wear this piece with a long sleeved sweater, which is nice too because then you can see the textural layers between the body and sleeves.

Silk Charmeuse

One of my favorite fabrications is silk charmeuse.  It's very light and has a slight sheerness.  I love this sleeveless blouse because it actually has very small pleats pressed in to the body.  It's a very simple silhouette but still has a little bit of sexy.

Pleated Dress

One of my favorite contemporary designers is 3.1 Phillip Lim.  I seem to want something of his every single season.  His designs are modern, edgy, yet still feminine and interesting.  I purchased this dress seasons ago, yet it still feels fresh and up to date.  That's what I love about his stuff...even seasons later, his pieces remain relevant.

Cheers~

Alternative Sweatshirt

I have a thing for french terry.  Especially when it's made into a fun, flowy silhouette.  The sweatshirt is so comfortable, yet it still has movement and is more interesting then the run of the mill sweatshirt.

Summer Camel

Camel has become one of the colors that I've become more and more attracted to.  It's a bit warmer than grey but the color can be so rich and I think really compliments my skin tone. 

This is another one of my easy, run around town doing errands outfit.  Jersey skirts really have become one of my go to garments...especially through these summer days.

Backstreet's Back

Can you believe it's officially been 8 weeks since Mei's leg surgery!?!?  Well, she's gotten the OK from her Dr. to go back to being the hyper-active puppy!  I'm just glad she's better and now we can start taking some walks together.

I love shawl/ponchos...they're so versatile.  This one is especially fun because it has little ruffles at the edges. I would usually layer this over a tee and leggings with some flats for a easy chic plane outfit.  

Cheers~

Labor Day White

There's an old rule...."You don't wear white after Labor Day..."  Well, seeing that Labor Day is just around the corner,  I decided to bring the ol' white denim for it's last hurrah.  Although honestly, I wouldn't be against wearing white just because it's FALL/WINTER.

Cheers~

Brights & Stripes

For some reason, I feel like my neon yellow sweater has even more of a "POP" paired with my striped skirt. It's just amazing to me how stripes have become so versatile...a staple in any gal's wardrobe.

Top: GAP similar

Skirt: ALC similar or similar

Intarsia

Looking forward at the fall trends, it seems like sweaters with intarsia will be the "it thing".  Whether it's "the break-up" sweater from Phillip Lim here or the Burberry Runway "owl" here, fun sweaters are everywhere!

I decided to pull out this one...it was from when Stella McCartney did a Winter line for GAP kids.  It's cashmere and SUPER soft.  Do you have your eyes on any fun fall sweaters?

Cheers~

Seeing Spots

It's been hot and sunny today.  Although I'm wearing long sleeves, the shirt is extremely light and sheer.  It's actually quite cooling while keeping my fair skin from getting burnt. 

 A collared shirt, skinny denim and black stiletto pumps...always a great, easy go to outfit.
