Getaway Outfit Idea

I know I said I would post about my weekend but I forgot my camera cord {if you remember I am in Kansas now until Sunday} so I will post about my fabulous weekend when I get my cord back.  So for now I am in a ridiculous fashion lull, mostly because it's that annoying calm before the storm.  Some fall has hit stores but not a lot and it's not time to wear any of it, fashion week is just around the corner so everyones hibernating from the extreme heat or working like a mad man to finish their collections.

So to get my mind off of that I have put together an airplane outfit idea..  A possible trip to Vegas next week {it has been talked about for months... will happen eventually who knows when!}, and a trip to New York over my birthday weekend are both coming up.  I obviously choose the New York trip since it will be October and Fall appropriate!  Possible summer outfit idea if I get over my summer grumpiness anytime soon...

Share the Love

I know I said I wouldn't post the rest of the weekend but this one just came to me! {to be fair it came to me yesterday and I scheduled it to post today :)}  I was perusing my favorite blogs today and came across the idea of doing a "top things I liked from other blogs" probably monthly or weekly or something post.  It's basically just pictures that inspired me or made me happy or made me think of something.  So here's the first "Share the Love" Post! I narrowed down to three blogs I read on a very regular bases but couldn't narrow down which pictures to share so there's a few of each! Enjoy!

First up is The Sartorialist which is by far one of my favorite blogs for style inspiration!  All of these pictures came from different posts.  She mostly does street style posts from Milan, Paris, New York, a little LA.  Here are a few of my favorite looks she's had recently!

I love this first one! It's a perfect pre-fall outfit. So sleek and preppy and I have been loving the top knot she's rocking lately!

I love the scarf wrapped around her wrist.  She just looks so glam.  All white is always a great statement.

 I mean come on.  Such an easy yet beautiful dress for the ridiculous summer heat!

Next is {this is glamorous}. 

I love this little nook.  This is exactly where I would want to lounge to blog, read a book or magazine, or just chat on the phone with someone.

Ok, if you have read my "About Me" you noticed I like to hoard magazines.  The problem is I only have a small built in book case in the corner of my living room.  I would love a bigger one like this for my favorite books and my stacks and stacks of Vogue, Bazaar, InStyle, W, etc!

These shoes are from Chloe's 2005 runway show that she recently blogged about.  I. WANT. THEM. NOW. Both pairs... they are amazing.

Last but not least is Design Darling.

As those of you who know me well know this quote could not be more perfect for my current situation!! I LOVE IT! I think I want it framed and put in my bathroom so that I never forget this.

Ok, so I have yet to do the "dream closet" post.  It is probably going to take me a month to prepare it but this is one of the things I have ALWAYS wanted in it.  Something similar to this picture but of my own wedding dress {when this happens} hanging with the light hitting it perfectly.  I then want to put it in a big beautiful frame and it will be my main art work in my closet {did I mention this closet is probably the size of a normal living room? Hey... don't judge I said DREAM closet}. I mean you only get to wear it once {which is SUCH a shame....} so why not at least get to admire it every day after the fact?

Take us away Miranda Kerr! I doubt I have to explain what I love about this....

Clutch Obsessed

I love clutches.  I think they have recently gone from just for evening to being very versatile! You can wear them during the day if you don't need your giant bag, going to lunch with the girls, brunch, a movie, bbq's, I mean the list goes on  and on!  Here are some of my favorites whether you are as ready for fall as I am {did I mention that??} or if you're still stuck in the sunny summer weather!

 

Elaine Turner :: Marilyn Raffia Clutch :: $195 $98

Elaine Turner is one of my favorite shoe and handbag designers ever!! First of all... her flats fit my weird shaped feet PERFECTLY and are SO comfortable not to mention the have adorable details {but I will save that for a different post..}.  Her bags are also amazing.  I have a clutch very similar to this one {Elaine Turner a couple years ago} and it is my go to clutch for Spring/Summer.  It's big enough to hold my keys, credit cards, phone, camera, and it's long enough to hold flip flops for a night your not sure where you'll end up or have to walk to! {it's come in handy on several occasions as I like to wear strappy 5 inch heels when it's inappropriate}. Plus the lining is pink on all her bags! Who doesn't love that?!

Tory Burch :: Audra Reva Clutch :: $375 {available for pre-order, will ship 8/15}

Next up is this Audra Reva Clutch from Tory Burch.  I think she does a really great job of doing neutral clutches.  This is a little spiced up version of one! Who doesn't love python?! You can wear this with literally anything as well, she has it available in tan, black all the boring colors too if you need to fill in that space in your closet. I just love this because it takes any outfit from normal to glammed up instantly!

Clare Vivier :: La Pouchette :: $104

Ok folks... I saved the BEST for last.  These are by Clare Vivier which is my new favorite handbag designer on the planet! {she's got a pretty great blog too!} I thank Sheridan over at The Southern Eclectic for introducing me to this ADORABLE little pouchette! {While you're there check out Sheridanfrench.com... she's got a special place in my heart I may explain at a further date...}.This is my new MUST HAVE of every season... I plan on eventually owning the pink and the blue.  They are the PERFECT amount of color, perfect amount of stripe, it's just perfect.  It's the cutest thing I've seen in clutch form in a really long time... perfectly preppy!

Clare Vivier :: Foldover Clutch :: $149

Another by the very talented Clare Vivier.  A larger Foldover Clutch.  Isn't the contrast zipper detail amazing? These are probably more practical for me considering their size.  They range in like 15 colors so you can pick exactly which one works for you! I am thinking purple, pink, navy, royal.... hmmm I may need to narrow this down a tad.  The prices though for a leather clutch are RIDICULOUS! Most would be like $300 for something of this size so really I'm saving money right????? RIGHT???

Well I am off to Kansas City today to hang out with my lovely best friends for the weekend!! It is safe to say there will be no blogging while I'm gone but I promise to have a recap of the fun festivities on Monday!  I am going to work on my camera skills while there :)

xoxo and have a lovely weekend yourself!

Weekend Round-Up

This weekend I decided to FINALLY go to the Dallas Farmers Market.  I first tried to go to the one in West Village... no beuno.  It was no where to be found? So I went to the one near Deep Ellum instead.  Now I am going to preface this with the fact that my dream Saturday morning is walking through a cute little Farmers Market with friends, my mom, one of my sisters or Southern Boy.  There would be a little folksy band playing in the background, cute handmade jewelry and candles, and of course piles of gorgeously grown fruits and veggies. Lots of locally grown fresh flowers to take home and put in vases for the upcoming week.  Not to mention a stand with AMAZING tamales to take home for dinner that night.

INSTEAD, this is what I found.  Now from my pictures it looks fine.  I didn't take pictures of anything besides the veggies and fruit because the rest of it was VERY unappealing.  I felt like I was missing something? How does a city like Dallas NOT have a good farmers market!? I did leave with a basket of peaches and a package of chicken sausage.  I asked around and the only tamale maker (COME ON! We are in Dallas TEXAS) was a guy that made vegetarian (again COME ON.. we are in TEXAS?! Why are they VEGETARIAN?!) and apparently they stuck straight to the corn stalk and weren't good anyway.  So alas... I went home feeling very underwhelmed.

This was the musical entertainment.  I will give him credit... I know he doesn't look like it but he sounded like a legit country singer!

Well, I am off to Kansas on Thursday.  Since I know Wichita has a MUCH cuter Farmers Market maybe I will get my fill there (seriously Dallas? Wichita's farmers market is better then yours... how does that make you feel?!)

Fall Obsession... JCrew!

So I hate to be obvious but these pink Cafe Capri wool pants from JCrew are going to be my fall {and winter} obsession.

Photo courtesy of Jcrew.com :: Cafe Capri Wool Pant :: $118

Here they are in yacht blue, which I may have to own too.  I plan on wearing any of the colors with blazers {one of my favorite things in the world}, button downs and even a t-shirt and flats on a Saturday!  I think they are so easy and classic.  They come in many colors so I warn you... unless you have a certain color obsession it may take you awhile to decide.

JCrew is one of the first to come out with their fall looks and since I am SUPER ready for the weather to change here are some others of my favorites from one of my favorites!!

This is an example of how I plan on wearing the pink pants.  Nothing is as classic then a white and navy stripe top with a navy blazer.  So chic and easy.

Flats are something else I can't get enough of! Can you tell? Leopard flats are such a no brainer for fall.  They add a great flare to any outfit.  I'm not even going to talk about the bow flat... I mean seriously? It's the cutest thing I've seen all day! It also comes in light pink... I died... I decided to mix up my colors a little for fun though.  I want this little suede flat in all 10 colors it comes in! Suede is such an easy luxe fabric and has been a huge trend in footwear for years now.

I love big statement necklaces.  This one is perfect.

Ok, I am going to start focusing on Ashley sort through he suitors on the Bachelorette {can someone finally call out the fact that Ben and Constantine look IDENTICAL?! WHY I ask WHY has no one mentioned that??!}.

Breaking News :: Amy Winehouse found dead in London Apartment

This is extremely sad.  Amy Winehouse was found dead in her London Apartment this morning.  She was not only 27 she was so very talented.  It's sad that she couldn't fight her own demons long enough to live up to her true potential.  Reports say her death is still "unexplained" however she has battled drug and alcohol addictions almost all her life so it's hard not to assume. You can read the up to date story at CNN.

Dreaming of...

As I sit at Starbucks my computer freezes.... for 5 minutes... so I hold down the button and turn it off.  I then have to proceed to pat it in all the right places {you think I'm joking? This is a routine my friends... she's a tricky little b****}.  I try to start her a couple times... nope... she's not ready yet.  She wants a nap.  Ten minutes later she finally works.  However there are no tables so she is on my lap... do you know how HOT a computer bought in 2005 gets? Don't even bother telling me about the 112 degrees it is outside... it's 200 degrees on my legs.  So this is what I am dreaming about right now... {don't tell her... she will get angry and won't start for a month... don't laugh... this has happened before.}

I would be boldfaced lying if I said I wanted this computer for any other reason then the pink cover.  Which is why Southern Boy will have to accompany me when this next computer purchase finally happens.  So I don't leave with something silly, expensive, and pink... but how cute would she be on my lap at Starbucks?

Or maybe this?? I am dreaming now... but that was the point of this post wasn't it??

Molly
