Friday Night Fever

I am of the type that believes you have to listen (and give in) to your impulsive cravings. Today mines a rougey mellow mix of candle-burnin', Bee Gees-serenadin' and cabernet-sippin', with a side of animal print, red nails and glitter jellies. Basically it's tapping into my I'm-wild-and-alive-so-don't-you-dare-stop-me and it's-Mamas-night-off-and-she-ain't-leavin'-this-couch-tonight personas at the same time. It's a dangerous combination, to be sure. What's your Friday looking like?

Florals & Black is the New Black

May House of Lilac's summer bouquet of gerbers, dahlias and silver dollar eucalyptus be a beautiful reminder that the best way to compliment your neutrals is with some florals. 

1.     Juliette Sunglasses (Illesteva, $240) – Just when you thought the last thing you need is another pair of sunglasses, these enter your life (and shopping cart). 

2.     Casablanca Pant (Staud Clothing, $98) – The Endless Summer, trouser version.  

3.     Scuba Bikini Top (Cali Dreaming, $115) – This brand of swimwear prides itself in its "versatility meets simplicity" aesthetic and the scuba material is unreal – it’s the type of texture that’s hard to put into words so I guess you’re going to have to buy ‘em and see for yourself.

4.     Black & White Straw Hoops (Mercedes Salazar, $175) – I wonder when my love affair with Mercedes will end? NEVER.

5.     Crossbody Capsule Bag (Paravel, $255) – Waterproof, Stain-proof, Spill-proof, and Crushproof. The proof is in the Paravel-pudding. 

6.     Floral Embellished Slides (J. Crew, $158) – J. Crew is hashtag killing it with these. 

Flamingling with Cloche: Party City Pretty

Why does it feel like I'm two places at once today? Because I am!!!! Check out my guest appearance on Cloche Design's Blog here and read about the pink flamingo party (teaser pleaser pic below) that inspired today's collage.

Always on Fire

Let us end the week with a quote from fashion icon Arnold Schwarzenegger: "I like the color red because it's a fire. And I see myself as always being on fire." 

Ruminate on that, while channeling the Duchess of Cambridge who made many a headline on the third day of the Poland/Germany royal tour when she "reached her full bohemian princess potential in a red off-the-shoulder Alexander McQueen maxi dress." I hope you also reach your full bohemian princess potential this weekend - and to help you achieve this lofty goal, here are some looks to don as you paint the town red (while also being on fire - obviously).

Summer Summer Summertime

Time to sit back and unwind like the bon vivant you are... OR time to work your little caboose off and make those billable hours! Toma-toe, toma-to, #amiright?
