...Vince Camuto Omana Flats. Pink, sequins, and a bow...oh my, that's a triple threat as far as I'm concerned. Unfortunately, as we all know, not all flats are comfortable (these will require some breaking in), but I can see them eventually becoming a wardrobe staple.
Slight change in name for these regular posts since they have been consistently recurring on Fridays.
...{Wish List}...
- Love at first sight: Alice + Olivia Sullivan Printed Silk Dress.
- My favorite sale must-haves to beat the heat: J.Crew bathing suit, sundress, and flip flops.
- Really? Like I need another thing to make me fat...
- And finally, home sweet home. I can't wait!
...Anthropologie Dropped Dots Dress. This dress was not impressive online nor was it impressive on the rack, but once I tried it on - I fell in love. And once I looked at the price tag, I loved it even more (half off!). Jackpot.
1. Anthropologie Polka-Dotted Dress
2. Alice + Olivia Elena Bustier Dress
3. Alice + Olivia Jayme Trapeze Skirt Dress
4. Alice + Olivia Darcy Lace Layover Dress
5. Alice + Olivia Victoria Peplum Dress
6. Anthropologie Waypoint Ponte Dress
...Lacoste Colorblock Jersey Tube Dress. Summer's here and it's hotter than ever here in the midwest. In fact, it's Texas hot and that's not good, but I have the perfect dress to keep me cool and comfortable on these unbearably hot days.

...a few items I picked up during this month's designer sale/sales in general. To be honest, there wasn't much inventory out there that I really wanted. I'm ready to get past last season's so-so offerings and move on. So far, the pre-Fall arrivals have not disappointed. I'm excited to see more.

...Kate Spade Hana Dress. This was another birthday dress contender (and I even bought it during birthday month!). Nick didn't really like it when I tried it on, but I made an executive decision to buy it and I'm sure glad I did. It is definitely on trend with the neon yellow colorblocking and I plan to make good use of it all Summer long.
Friday already? I'll take it!
...{Wish List}...
- Peplum dresses are my fave this season. Must-haves include: Alice + Olivia Victoria Dress in Cream and Robyn Lace-Top Dress.
- It's sale time! This weekend's picks: J. Crew Colorblock Cardigan and Lacoste Colorblock Jersey Tube Dress.
- Mini hot dogs! How cute and appropriate for Summer!
- And finally, navy blue is definitely my favorite color this season.
...MINKPINK Peppermint Pattie Dress. This dress is perfect for Saturday mornings spent strolling through the Farmer's Market (like maybe this Saturday?). In the beginning, I had a really hard time finding it in my size. Being the obsessive person that I am, I scoured the internet looking for it (to no avail), but finally after weeks of patiently waiting - it's mine!
Note: The color is actually more like the model's photo. My photos are a little washed out.
...Joie Slow Rider Back-Lace boots. I don't have a Harley. I don't have any intimidating tattoos that say 'Mom', but I'm totally onboard with this biker boots trend...and I have the perfect pair of leather shorts that would go with these. Maybe I'll even invest in some tattoos to complete the look ;)
...Alice + Olivia Embellished One-Shoulder Dress. The beading on this dress (as expected with any Alice + Olivia dress) is exquisite. The fit is a little loose for me (which is fine for a dress like this), but paired with a belt - it works out perfectly.
...{Personal}...
- What a great weekend to do...nothing!
- I made it to Anthropologie this week to try on a few dresses, and the clear winner is the Mariposa Lace Dress (but the Melora Dress was a very close second).
- My current Alice + Olivia faves: Butterfly Sleeve Dress and Perry Drape Cowl Neck Dress.
- I love Jessica Alba's Christian Dior Dress - simple yet elegant.
- And finally, these White Chocolate Lemon Truffles look ahhh-mazing.
...Kate Spade Selma Stripe Sweater Dress. A sweater dress probably isn't something you would want going into Summer, but I've wanted this particular dress for a while. The material is not as thick as other 'sweater dresses' and it's short sleeved, so nothing's stopping me from wearing it this Summer.
...Tory Burch Reva Flats. These are my favorite go-to comfortable flats. They fit so well on my narrow feet (I always size a half size up, though) and look good with any outfit.
1. Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Speedy with Strap
2. Burberry Brit V-Neck Cardigan
3. Burberry Structured Wool Blend Dress (another dress I love)
4. Alice + Olivia Alison Beaded Tank Dress
5. Anthropologie Sparked Amber Bib Necklace
6. Kate Spade Tricolor Zahara Dress
7.Kate Spade Striped Lucille Knit Dress
...with Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour in June. It's the perfect shade for Summer.
...{Personal}...
- Happy birthday month to the dogs! Their birthdays are only one day apart, but we'll be celebrating all month long.
- Kate Spade Selita Dress = love.
- This Burberry Cardigan will probably be in my closet soon.
- One of these Anthropologie dresses will also be in my closet soon.
- I swoon for the Macgraw 2012 collection (my favorite is the lace dress in the second picture).
- And finally, it's Summer and Summer means fresh fruit salsa with ingredients from the Farmer's Market. Yummm.
