I’ve been an awful good girl…

One of the perks of being a blogger is that, in the midst of sharing all of these gift guides for helping giving to everyone on your list, you also get to publicly share your own holiday wish list… am I right??

I wore this Jackie-O-esque outfit on Labor Day… to savor the last few hours of white shorts being acceptable… and to prove that Taylor Swift isn’t the only one who is inspired by her style… :)

Derby Days

Lilly Pulitzer Carolina Cup Dress

Carolina Cup Dress, Lilly Pulitzer // Derby Hat, Marley Lilly // Bracelets, Glitter Box Jewelry via Etsy; LC Lauren Conrad; Alex & Ani // Ring, Urban Outfitters [similar] // Mid-wedges, Jack Rogers

That’s a lie. The Derby Days aren’t even close. But I scooped up this Carolina Cup Dress (still on sale!) upon the end of the season and could not be more smitten. I suppose it will just have to make a second debut come next year!

Little Red House

It’s been particularly gloomy weather-wise around here lately. I thought this outfit needed some brightening up and what more perfect of a backdrop could I find but this little red house? Reminds me of simpler days :)

Ballerina Fall

Maybe it’s the dancer in me, but I am feeling so inspired by J.Crew’s September catalogue…

Tutus and sweaters? Yes please. Reminds me of my days backstage, covering up our costumes with layers to keep warm in the freezing air conditioning!

Here’s a set I’m looking forward to putting together once the air gets a little cooler. One of J Crew’s classic new Fisherman Sweaters, a tutu skirt from F21 (I’ve also had great luck with these at H&M and Free People), and a little sparkle to show off the ballerina in you… love me some glitter flats any day!

post script. Happiest of birthdays to Miss James Dean Beauty Queen!! Go give my girl some b*day love!

A very preppy week…

Like I said yesterday, I’ve been all about the prep lately! You can just tell from last week’s wardrobe…

Green cardigan, J Crew
White skirt, Target
White tank, Gap
Turtle belt, Urban Outfitters
Turtle earrings, Lilly Pulitzer
Necklace and bracelet, Tiffany & Co.

Ugh sorry, that was a lot of me. Just trying to squeeze as much bright pink and green as I can before summer finishes up!

Um, and how about that earthquake yesterday? I felt it in Boston… and I’m not talking a mini “what was that?” shake– it took us all of fifteen seconds to realize what was going on before we RAN down five flights of stairs and out the door! Hope all of you are ok!!
