Happy Summer!

I’ve spent the past six months wishing for summer and now I can’t believe it’s here. I love everything about it: the sun, the heat, the late nights, balmy weather, pool time, flimsy dresses, tan lines, fresh fruit…This one is especially special – it’s the summer of love.

My Early Fashions

June 24, 20111 Comment

While I was in Hot Springs this weekend, I unearthed a stash of pictures from long ago. Even at three I loved to accessorize. It was wonderful to look through these, it brought back lovely memories and reminded me that I’ve always enjoyed dressing. Sometimes the past can lead you into your future in unexpected ways.

My model-muse, Lara Stone, channels Brigitte Bardot and heads to the beach. What’s not to love – aside from the extreme jealousy of her gorgeous figure?

Laughs

I’ve had a really tough week at work. I can’t pin down exactly what the problem is. I’m sure it’s a combination of work/life/wedding stress that’s effecting my attitude. Anyway, something made me laugh today and I instantly felt better. It truly is the best medicine.

What’s not to love about a backless dress?

M is for Monogram

While I do have a few preppy tendencies, I wouldn’t consider myself or my style “preppy”. Why then am I tempted (attempting) to monogram everything from beer glasses to bed sheets?

I’ll tell you why, because it’s adorable. Annnnd I might be a little excited about our monogram: PBR.

Too Much of Kim Kardashian

I try to steer clear of her because she exhausts me so easily. But, with her big engagement (big being the operative word) she is hard to ignore. Here the genie of the bootie goes awry with the color blocking and crop top trends.
