i feel like this is my first true summer outfit – no jacket, no tights.
origins of the outfit: shirt – hale bob (tj maxx); shirt – anthro; shoes – dolce vita; arm stack – vintage, kenneth jay lane; j crew
i shopped: clutches, shoes + a dress & romper
ok, somebody (me) – needs to slow down on the shopping! i keep thinking i need more dresses for summer parties…but i don’t.
clutch – tj maxx find
on sale at gap for $9 – great for the summer.
i mean….i found these at the bcbg outlet for about $90; is this love? yes, yes it is
i’ve been searching for a long romper – found this one at the bcbg outlet as well
yep -bcbg outlet again. i get that i’m a ‘one trick dress pony’ – but this style works on my body the best. i think i’ll make this my rehearsal dinner dress! nothing says bridal like a little lemon cupcake : )
she wore: black and white
one of my little sisters had on the cutest basics on when we were all home. black and white = super chic.
origins of the outfit: dress – asos; jacket – h&m; shoes – bcbg.
i wore: flight attire
origins of the outfit: shirt – zara; pants – forever 21; shoes – zara; arm stack – jcrew, jcrew, hermes, alex and ani.
i wore: pink and hotter pink
my mother’s day outfit got a good many compliments at the brunch we attended – most of them came from the under 8 age group…those girls love them some pink.
i love this shirt – it’s jcrew and i waited forever for it to go on sale.
origins of the outfit: shirt – j crew (on sale now); skirt – anthro; necklace – j crew; arm stack – j crew, alex and ani, vintage, and vintage
i wore: you’ll never believe….
excuse my little lag on posting – i’ve been back south tending to wedding details.
so, you’ll never believe where i got this dress – oh, forever 21. i love the shape of the dress + it’s great under a blazer or solo.
also, my new little beaded bracelet – oh, found that at pier 1 – right?! who knew.
origins of the outfit: blazer – whistle; dress – forever 21 (similar); shoes - dolce vita (similar on sale); arm stack - pier 1, hermes, j crew.
just sayin’: happy mothers day
i hope everyone had a fab mother’s day!
in honor of my mom: flashback to the early 80′s – can we take a moment and observe how ‘in’ her hair, sunnies, and suit are?!
i shopped: harem, drawstrings, and joggers
i didn’t mean to do it, but this summer i’m living in the loose ones.
by accident – i’ve acquired an alarming amount of these loose, silky, pj-like (but fitted at the ankle) pants, and i’m just going to go with it.
like all these i just got from forever 21…(click the pics for links).
love the pattern, love the price ($20)!
perfect with a scarf?
high-waisted + a drawstring
and i think i need to go back for these:
just sayin’: be u weddings
when chicago’s be u weddings reached out asking to hear the story of us – i was flattered, we’re not that exciting!
read more about it – er…us here
i wore: stripes and dots @ chicago’s nike training club
i was beyond excited when i was invited to help style some looks at nike’s new women’s studio and store – a club if you will: nike training club in chicago.
to style myself – i went with my trusted pattern mixing:
how great is this space? if you are in chicago, it’s a must check-out. the clothes are amazing and as soon as left i wanted to workout.
i’ve been wearing black-on-black workout wear for a bit now, i think it’s time to add some pattern and pops of colors.
gold shoes? yes, please.
and here’s the looks i styled with nikia from chi town fashionista. we were assigned “a day at the beach, followed by castaways” (a beach bar in chicago).
we went monochromatic with a gray sweat suit and a white bikini top + woven nikes; the necklace was my own – she needed a little something.
her partner in crime is in an outfit i snatched up – ombre’ish nike sunset leggings, which i love. oh and they work, they are sweat-wicking. the shoes are amazing – i’m wearing them now and was already stopped twice today with ‘where did you get those?’; oh – here.
all in all a great event and so much fun. if you’re in chicago stop by the nike training club, 833 w armitage; our looks will be displayed soon. they obviously have amazing pieces and free classes in the studio up stairs – just sign up on their facebook page.
bonus – we’re arranging a private and free class for unicorn stylings folks! check back in for details, and to see how i styled my new nike gear.
origins of the outfit: pants – j crew (on sale now); shirt – j crew; shoes – zara; scarf – missoni; arm stack – vintage, vintage, j crew; necklace – bannan republic.
