emmys.

Hi ya!  We are back from a whirlwind weekend.  We had an amazing time at our friend's wedding and danced our faces off.  Then we headed back to the city to celebrate this lovely girl's birthday and rocked out again.  So much fun!  Sunday afternoon I relaxed by watching the Emmys red carpet.  I'm kind of obsessed with red carpet's in general and love seeing the star's all done up.  I gotta say that my favorite look came before the show even started, and of course it was on my girl Giuliana Rancic.  A few people have told me that I remind them of her (my personality and some of my mannerisms).  The girl is awesome in my book, so any comparison to her makes me smile!  During the "emmy countdown show" she wore this beautiful white Rafael Cennamo dress that I was obsessed with!  That girl can rock anything and this dress was a definite show stopper!  Dang just wish I could find more pics of her in it.

retail therapy.

Sometimes a little retail therapy is necessary to get you through a tough time, right?  G and I headed out and picked up a few items over the weekend.  Mind you, we don't really "need" anything, but it was a nice little outing that was much needed.  Here are a few things I scooped up.  Ummm you know, cause a faux fur vest is totally a necessity, right?!?  The sales girl laughed as I handed her the kids size XL at Zara.  She said, "This is totally for you, right?  I buy tons of the girl's clothing here in the largest size they come in because it's just as cute as the women's stuff and half the price".  True true!

white out.

From our home to my wardrobe, I'm kind of obsessed with anything and everything white.  These wide leg trousers caught my eye and in a second blink I found myself down a pinterest spiral searching for white ensembles.  I love how fresh, clean, and crisp these looks appear.  No white after Labor Day?  Not in my life!

chambray revisited.

Apparently my love affair with chambray shirts has continued.  I spotted this shirt last week at F21, but didn't end up buying it.  Now I'm kinda wishing I had.  I already own 3 chambray shirts, but this one with it's polka dots is totally different.  Right?!?  Trying to convince myself, cause it's so dang cute that I really think it should be mine.

style session, take 2.

Remember that DVF dress that I was head over heels in love with?  Well, I finally scooped it up when it was on sale at Nordstrom and haven't really stopped wearing it since.  I even did a second little style session on Glitter Guide showing how I'd wear it to brunch with the girls, then out to dinner with my husband.  Check it all out here.  Huge thanks to Taylor for having me again and of course to Caroline for the photos.
