Flower garlands. Digging majorly.

the itty denim vest

I'm really into the denim vest look nowadays. Sometimes it's a little too hot for full-on denim jackets so cut off the sleeves! It's a great casual look that looks understated over a tank top, a cropped shirt or a bikini.

Izabel Goulart makes me want need to hit the gym. Check out that first Mark Fast dress- you'd stop traffic in that one. Whew.

I think it's beautiful how sunlight reflects off sequins and dances on our skin.

Feathers, suede, silver, turquoise, braids...and how could I forget- a good dash of Roberto Cavalli! No, but seriously this is a trend that I'm totally into! Starting with these gorgeous danglers:

Kristen Elspeth African sunburst earrings

Erickson Beamon Rear window chandelier earrings

Soo Ihn Kim Portia Knot earrings

Erickson Beamon China club earrings

Yes m'am! Swimsuit I want to be wearing this summer and black olive focaccia + banana peanut butter smoothie in my tummy.

Even though I would wear pants over a skirt any day I just adore this feminine A-line silhouette. Popped collars, polished pumps, off-the-shoulder dresses accessorized with cascading waves...ooh la la.

Paris Vogue editorials have a tendency to make me catch my breath whenever I stumble upon something impressionable. This reminds me, I have to run out and grab the latest June/July issue with bikini-bottom clad Ms. Bundchen on the cover. Have you got yours yet?

Oh hello there! Spring has just crept in and I've fallen HARD for that lace Dolce & Gabbana dress! And is that a TOMATO print?
INGENIOUS.
I'm so happy that it's getting warmer. Time to shed those layers...

I hope you're having a lovely week! It's only Tuesday and I'm feeling so tired already...falling asleep while drinking coffee. Uh oh. Posting this lovely, loud editorial featuring gorgeous chunky bracelet cuffs and necklaces. It's what I want to wear this summer. J'adore!

I have a feeling that cowboy boots are going to be HUGE this season and next. Did you see the ones Isabel Marant sent down the runway last week? Totally loved the whites. Embellishing a denim vest/jacket with studs, brooches and large rhinestones in slightly random places seems like a lovely idea. ♥
