Another latest obsession of mine is of the late Lilly Pulitzer and her wonderful floral prints. I was never a big fan when I was younger, but as I've gotten older she has been able to bring out that feminine side to me. Her Palm Beach-inspired patterns always bring happiness wherever they go. The prints bring inspiration of sipping lemonade at the pool, and looking fabulous and elegant while doing so. It's the epitome of being 'preppy' and what a perfect time to bring this out than during summer. With pastel tones, and beauty staples that leave you smelling like flowers, watermelons, and coconuts. Life can be gorgeous, make the best of it.
Do any of you readers own a Lilly Pulitzer print? How do you rock it?

Oh, Lilly!

What do you think of when you hear the term tweed? For me, it's a black and white film set in a mysterious police station in New York, where Lauren Bacall wears a gorgeous Chanel jacket with a high-waisted skirt and black pumps. Yes, I may stray this image into a romance with her late husband Bogey who plays a criminal on the run. Ugh, how amazing were their movies together? They really set the stage on making tweed a necessity for women AND men in the 1940s film industry. Of course we saw this trend way before with the infamous Chanel jacket, and it's even been able to translate all the way to current runways. It's one of my favorite trends, as it gives a lady an air of sophistication and class. I myself have never purchased or owned a piece of tweed, but someday when I win a million dollars I can finally have a piece of Chanel in my closet. SOMEDAY!
To make someday sooner for everyone, there are obviously ways you can find a tweed jacket or dress that is far more inexpensive and that will still look great.
While black and white is an obviously flattering style that you can wear with this fabric, to translate it to the season we're in think color. Yes, color. Think a sorbet and candy palette and run with it! Opt for flirty pinks, spearmint green, or even a lemon yellow! Be bold in your choices, and just have fun.

Hi ladies!
(Images: 1. | 2. | 3. )
A big thing I enjoy doing during the summer is looking for inspiration in street style! Those ladies (and men) put on some crazy outfits for Fashion Week and other events but they always end up looking pretty great. The print top is a big trend that has been seen for Spring/Summer 2013, and I can get behind it! In fact, I have already been doing this trend for as long as I can remember. I love pairing a great print with a basic bottom, or the other way around. I think the print top will always be around to stay, and there are so many different ways you can wear it. Pair your print with a bright color, or wear it to work with a pencil skirt. You can't go wrong.
Hope you have been having a great weekend! I am looking forward to a new week and enjoying my summer.
Always,

I am all for a great designer collaboration with an affordable retail store that anyone can shop at. So finding out that WHIT and Anthropologie were going to be combing their aesthetics, I jumped up and down! (LITERALLY) It is part of their Made In Kind collection also! While I am not a petite frame, I still think this collection is gorgeous to look at. Luckily they have a separate collection for women up to size 12! It's perfect for this summer with happy prints, a boho inspiration, and preppy hues. Hope one of you readers can purchase something from this collection and rock a gorgeous frock. Here are some of my favs!
So ladies, what do you think of this collaboration?! Have you see any other worthy collaborations out there lately?
