...Parker Sequin Block Racer Dress. A loooonnnnggg time ago, I purchased this dress in the blush/nude color, but the black color has haunted me ever since. I love that the racerback style keeps it casual, but the sequins dress it up. This will be perfect for a night out on the town in San Antonio.

...Burberry Check Placket Wool Cardigan. Alright, here we go again - buying sweaters in the Summer. You can't blame me for thinking ahead, though. At least this year I probably won't be buying any heavy winter coats...

...Alice + Olivia Fall 2012 RTW. I love all the gowns, but #1 and #4 have me completely smitten...

...July 22nd wish list...

...Alice + Olivia Olsen Tie Neck Romper. I'm not normally a fan of rompers (what if you need to go to the bathroom?), but I am a fan of Alice + Olivia and stripes. It's really cute on, which is surprising because rompers usually make me look more petite than I really am.

3. Alice + Olivia Niki Dress with Belt

4. Chanel Metal and Enamel Brooch

5. Alice + Olivia Ella Peplum Tee

6. Burberry Check Gold Watch (This could be the gold watch I've been searching for!)

...Burberry Structured Wool Blend Dress. As previously posted, this is my second favorite Burberry dress of the season. It's a very close second next to the Navy Check Dress, and as such - I couldn't live without it either. Like its sister dress, this one fits like a dream (I'm really happy with the direction that Burberry has taken with their more body-conscious fit).













...The dress looks a little wrinkly because I was too lazy to iron it out before I took the photos. The material is a thin jersey-type fabric, so it seems to wrinkle easily.

...Tiffany & Co. Pearl Earrings. Nicky left me a little present before he left for his trip! I love them, and now my set is complete. Necklace. Bracelet. Earrings. Check, check, and check. Thanks, Nicky!

• Too early for a Fall/Winter wish list? I don't think so. Let's start with another wool coat and boots.

...{Design, Style, & Food}...

• How cute! If only I had a backyard...


• And finally, no one puts on a show like Chanel Haute Couture.

Happy Friday! Make it wonderful :)

...Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour in Orange Fizz. It's the perfect coral color for Summer!

...Kate Spade Sweeney Dress. I already know it - this will be my go-to little black dress. I love the pleated skirt and the bow detail on the bust. The patent leather belt is fine as-is, but a red belt would give it the extra color boost that would take this dress from great to ahhh-mazing.

...July 9th wish list...





1. Burberry V-Neck Cotton T-Shirt

2. Burberry Check Sleeve Polo

3. Anthropologie Waves Skater Dress

4. Kate Spade Dee Dress

...Pinterest (Happy Birthday to my sister and America) picks of the week...

...Burberry V-Neck Cardigan in Bright Cobalt Blue. I can't pass up a good cardigan and this one is definitely considered good. In fact, it's great. I love it. So much so that I will definitely get it in another color (probably all of them, since I had such a hard time deciding on just one color!).

...Burberry Check Dress in True Navy. This was a must-have-can't-live-without-it-or-I'll-die item (at least it felt that way). I didn't care how much it cost or if there was any occasion to wear it in the foreseeable future. It was an obsession and I had to have it. Luckily, I was not disappointed. It's classic and elegant and the fit is fantastic. Now that this obsession has been fulfilled, I'm looking forward to purchasing my second favorite Burberry dress this season (maybe today during our mother-daughter-sister-aunt shopping trip?).

...Alice + Olivia dresses I'm looking forward to seeing in person this week...
