gimme some DVF.

I recently hit up a DVF outlet store with my very stylish friend Demetra.  Well, since I'm trying to wear more patterns, DVF certainly has a gorgeous selection.  These are two dresses that I'm currently craving.  Saving my pennies and hoping that at least one will make it's way into my closet very soon.

jumpin' into monday.

Happy Monday!  I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend.  We had a great one.  The bocce ball birthday party was a blast and the bridal shower I went to could not have been more fun (always great to catch up with my college girls).  I also managed to sneak in a quick shopping trip to Zara (shhhh!).  Well I did say that I was trying to embrace more color and pattern into my wardrobe and I do believe that this jumpsuit fits the bill.  I'm already pretty obsessed with it.

it's summer.

Today it is freezing out.  Like grab a jacket before you head out the door kind of coldness.  Here in the city we were a little spoiled the last few days with sunny warm weather, but apparently our "true summer" has hit.  But I refuse to pull out my jeans and am instead throwing on a maxi skirt, a thin sweater and throwing on a lightweight jacket.  Layers, layers, layers.

call me maybe.

It's only Wednesday, but I'm ready for it to be Friday.  To help me get over this mid-week slump, I've been watching this video on repeat.  Rebecca Minkoff, Hilary Rhoda and the Man Repeller rockin' out to Call Me Maybe is too good to not share.

studs & fringe.

You know when you leave a store slightly regretting that you didn't buy something?  Well, that's the case of these two lovely little pieces from Zara.  I tried them on a week ago and have been dreaming about them ever since.  That jacket with the studded collar...yes please!  Oh and I'm certainly a sucker for anything fringe.  That skirt could so easily be dressed up or down.  Eeeeekkkk, I may have to make a return trip.
