Last week, I had the opportunity to speak at Rock the Runway representing Cover Girl (we donated the make-up for the event). It was really fun and I was honored to be included.
I had to include a shot with my sweetheart!
I love this editorial and the breezy, summer feel. Backless dresses by the pool, floppy hats in the park, motobiking in vintage…that’s what I’d like my summer to look like as well.

I love shopping at thrift and vintage stores. There’s something so green and sustainable about reusing and making the old new again. I also enjoy the process of picking through the inventory and trying on (I realize not everyone does). Plus it’s a great way to experiment with trends without breaking the bank, since nearly everything that’s in now has been in before. One of my favorite things about shopping at a thrift shop, versus a vintage shop, is that they often don’t know the brands that have been donated. They just line-price everything, denim is denim etc. That’s where we benefit. For example, I got a vintage Oscar de la Renta blouse last night at Potter’s house thrift store for $2.92. I think one of the problems we have when shopping is we can’t visualize how an article of clothing will transform once we have it on, so we pass it by. You have to have an open mind and a little bit of time to find the diamonds in the rough, if you will. Sometimes I will try on 30 things to only find 3 that work. But when it works and it’s cheap, it’s so worth the extra time.
I also love this editorial set in a chic vintage shop. Enjoy!
I’m seriously considering purchasing this vintage beauty on ebay. Any thoughts?
Dress – Antonio Melani, Booties – Gianni Bini, Earrings – Forever21
Dress – Tucker for Target (thrifted), Booties – Gianni Bini, Belt – New York & Co
Pants – New York & Co, Blouse – Vintage, Detachable Collar – Urban Outfitters, Platforms – BCBG (found at Daisy Exchange)
The other day I was thinking, why not do your “something blue” in the form of jewelry? I’m not sure if that’s a popular idea but I am exploring it. Earrings or a bracelet in a blue hue could be divine and depending on your dress/accessories/atmosphere, could be as subtle or as attention-grabbing as you like. I’m probably not going to do a necklace but that could be beautiful as well.
This isn’t blue but I am slightly dying over it.

I love, love, love this hair wreath. These are lovely too…

Am I wrong to think that the suction/scuba-type material would be flattering? It seems like it would suction everything in. On the other hand…where does it go?
via Anthro – duh.
Whilst we’re shopping at Anthro, I also want these pants:
