What I Wore: The Blues

(what i wore: dress – vintage from cheap thrills, heels – bakers, brooch – vintage, earrings – birthday gift)
Yesterday I wore one of  those dresses that make you almost giddy and you kindof wish you could wear it everyday. I call them “cartoon dresses” because they become contenders for what you would want to be wearing if you were animated and forced by the confines of some illustrated sitcom to wear the same thing everyday (sorry if I sound a little crazy, I’m getting married in 10 days!).
I love it so much but it is vintage and slightly fragile so shapewear must be worn in the event that a button flies, the last thing I need is a boob slip at work…



What I Wore: Old Faves

(what i wore: jeans – seven, vest – vintage ann taylor, heels – quipid, earrings – vintage)

For last Friday, which was casual, I wore some of my favorite jeans, a treasured vest and super tall heels. I hope you had a fun weekend!

What I Wore: Bun + Shift


 (what i wore: shift – asos, heels – bcbg, – cuff/ring/earrings – unknown, ha)

I loved the outfit I wore yesterday. I really felt feminine and ladylike.  This is the kind of look I prefer: a shift, a huge bun, strappy shoes. I was extremely proud of my bun. Would you believe I didn’t know how to tease it this time last year? I have to share that I sent a pic of my hair to Erika Bearman (OscarPRGirl) and she tweeted back “it’s major” totally made my day…

Looking Forward to Fall

Ok. Officially. It is too hot. I’ve given up hope that it will ever cool down. I’m thinking we will have to bring sweats and leggings to Italy where the high is a balmy 82 and the low is a frigid 60. If fall ever comes, here are a few things I look forward to wearing.

What I Wore: Black Basics

(what i wore: sheath – kensie, heels – baker’s, earrings – a gift from my brother from guadalajara, mx)
I’ve had this dress for almost four years and I’m still obsessed with it. It’s basically a sack, which is fabulous. It can be worn as is with towering heels and low-maintenance hair for a minimal look, which is what I did today. Or it can be belted and will morph into whatever you want.
