My Top Five Summer Must-haves

Normaluisa FW 11/12

I really love these two looks that knightcat posted a while ago of the normaluisa fw 11/12 collection. I love the detailing on the shirt in the first photo.  And the second look is just genius. (I mean, what a combo!) It looks so comfy and chic and current. I'm really drawn to big, wide-brimmed 70's hats, especially for summer, and I would definitely say they were one of the features that drew me in to this collection.

I currently have this American Apparel hat on my wishlist :)

Feeling Patriotic

Shirt: Random $10 store in Santa Barbara, CA; Pants: Forever 21, Headband: Charlotte Russe

My sister told me today that I looked like the fourth of July, which I took as a compliment because I LOVE this color combo! This outfit was perfect for the bipolar weather we had today. (This morning it was cold, overcast and raining and currently it's at least 70 degrees and sunny! Go figure.)

Fall Color Inspiration

My projected color palette for the upcoming fall season, with a little help from Style.com and Garance Doré :)

Rompin around

It was really hot yesterday so I whipped out this romper that I picked up at Forever 21 over the weekend. Most loose rompers are unflattering on my body, but this one has a little belt that came with it that nips in my waist and gives me some shape.

I’m off to interview for the Nordstrom Fashion Board, wish me luck!

Celine bag

                                         Love the cute color of The Blonde Salad's new Celine tote.

Headband/Scarf

 

Found this scarf/headband in an Urban Outfitters sale bin!

Hope everyone's week has started off well.

5.8.11

Got this dress while I was in LA. The color is nice and bright, and the fabric is loose and comfy, which makes it perfect for summer. I wore it to a family get together today :)

Happy early Mother's Day to all of the mothers out there! 

Free People May 2011

I have been really drawn to vintage inspired dresses lately, specifically the silhouettes of the 60's and 70's.

I just think this one from Free People is adorable! Now if it only wasn't so darn expensive...

 

A couple of photos from Free People's May and music festival catalogues... I have to say, nothing beats their April catalogue. I still can't get over the genius color and texture mixing in that shoot.

Printed Dress

Dress-Target, Sandals-Steve Madden

My sister actually got this dress for herself, then didn't like it when she tried it on, so I happily scooped it up :)

One week of huge tests ahead of me then I will have plenty of time on my hands to take lots and lots of pictures. The weather has been so nice recently! All I want to do is slip on a sundress, read a nice book and drink a cool glass of water in the sunshine... too bad I have to study.
