Fourth

Happy Birthday, USA!  It's time to whip out the pure Americana gear (aka Converse All Stars) and rock out in daisy dukes and plenty of stars & stripes!  Here are just a few pieces of iconic American style:

1.  Gingham Shirt from Old Navy
2.  Red Nail Polish by Revlon
3.  Casio Watch from American Apparel
4.  Tote from  EcoStudioNYC
5.  White Sneakers by Converse
6.  Jean Shorts by H&M 
7.  Swimsuit from Topshop

PS: Did you know that Revlon was started by three (ahem) men that formulated a new type of long-lasting nail polish during the Depression?  Eventually, Revlon supplied all of the U.S. Army with makeup and was awarded the Army-Navy "Excellence" award!  Now THAT is patriotism!

Florida

 

Hello there.  I know I haven't been around much lately, however, I have big news: I will be moving to southern Florida to pursue...well...life!  My fiance is headed there in 2 weeks, and I will follow soon after. With this big move comes many changes, including, you guessed it, WARDROBE!  I am kicking away my big sweaters and setting sights on more light and airy pieces.  

I hope this inspires your summer wardrobe and maybe a change in your own life, too!

Color of the Week

There is just something about this color that gets my blood pumping!  I have a bit of a history with the color: my mother and I painted my bedroom chartreuse in high school (only to have it painted back as soon as I left for college).  Even though my walls are no longer green, I am able to still enjoy the vibrant color in my favorite item here: the old-school filing cabinet from CB2.  I also have the desk to match! 

Keep an eye out for next week's color – it will make you blush!
