jcrew summer sale.

I'm obsessed with JCrew lately. I admit it. I admit it's also slightly un-original at this point because everyone else is too. But I can't help it.

Their summer sale is ON right now... and if you know how these things go, you know the early bird gets the worm. Here's what I'm dreaming of snatching up...













Happy Memorial Weekend! I'll post more sales if I hear of them... (what is it about American holidays and sales?)

empire state of mind?

Oh boy, oh boy! When a reader commented yesterday that I should put together a little Sex and the City outfits post... I just couldn't say no. (And quite frankly wondered why I didn't think of it myself!)

I am a huge SATC fan and was very, very excited to see the previews for the second movie. But when I saw that Aidan was returning, I just about had a heart attack. PITTER PATTER people!

If you are planning on attending the movie this weekend with some gal pals and need some wardrobe inspiration... I've got it for you. Although, it seems to be silly to try and even come close to the style and flair that this movie embodies. But heck, I'll try.


Are you a Miranda? Smart, sexy, a perfect mix of understated yet bold?

Or are you a Charlotte? Sophisticated, conservative and always classic?

Evening Dresses by Arden B
Pumps by Antonio Melani

Or more of a Carrie? Always the belle of the ball with creativity mixed with quirkiness?

Evening Dresses by Forever 21
Platforms by Forever 21

Or last but not least, a Samantha? Very sexy, very smooth and very glamorous?

Rings by Banana Republic

Have fun if you are going to see the movie! I personally can not wait to see the Aidan/Big/Carrie love triangle unfold!

May Round-Up

I'm jumping the gun on the May Round-Up a bit... but with the long holiday weekend splayed out before me I can't help but want to tie up as many loose ends as possible! There were A LOT of outfits in May - more than I have ever posted in a one month period. So without further ado...



Wow, did you catch all that? Per the usual, place your vote for your favorite in the comments! Vote for as many outfits as you like! I'll announce the winner next week... Happy (long) Weekend!

espadrilles, espadrilles! (part II)

I loved each and every espadrille I featured in the previous post about them (here)... and decided to feature more. They are just SO dang cute. And cheap. And summery. And, did I mention, cute!?!?

Being the nerd that I am, I googled "espadrilles" - turns out the word is French from Latin origin. Pronounced "es-pe-dril" - those frenchies, they love the silent letters at the end of words! Also, they are defined as a jute or rope sole with a fabric upper. Ta-da! Your fashion lesson for the day.

For some reason the florals really draw me in... and usually I am not even much of a floral gal.


This pair isn't so "cheap" but it comes in a million of the sweetest colors you could ever want. So, yeah, I had to include them.


Wedge espadrilles in gold? Yes and yes.


These are so sweet they remind me of sorbet. Mmmmm...


Wedge, lace-around-the-ankles, peep-toe espadrille? Yes, yes and yes!


I'll take just about anything in black. Plus, I just love the top-stitch on these!
