Skirting the Issue

antonio-b2

I’m ashamed to admit that I watched the season premiere of Keeping up with the Kardashians on Sunday. I’m usually against Kim’s style choices for one reason (she wears too much make-up) or another (her clothes are too tight) but Sunday, I really liked the outfit she wore for her house party. I couldn’t find a photo of it but here is the link. She wore a structured top with a short full skirt. It got me in the mood for skirts and I’ve found some cute ones, all under $100 of course…

Favorite Things: Christine Centenera

A while back, I posted a Vanessa Jackman picture of Christine Centenera. I really like her style…effortlessly chic, daring, fun. Jak & Jil featured her favorite things and they are drool-worthy.

Leather Lust

I am one of Summer’s biggest fans. But as much as I love it, I must admit the unseasonably oppressive heat in Arkansas for the last month has me jonesing for cool, crisp fall weather. I’m looking forward to football games, boots and keeping the windows down; I’m looking forward to wearing whatever I want and topping it with a thin, comfortable jacket. Preferably leather. A leather jacket can transform ANY outfit. I’m a dress-girl. I would wear a dress over pants or a skirt any day. They’re just more comfortable! Your cutest summer dress + chic leather jacket = perfection.

New Week

It’s a new week. I’m having trouble letting go of the weekend. I had too much sun & too much food and I’m paying for it today. This week it’s still so hot and we’ve got to spend most of it moving.

Love this look:
