This dress usually marks the beginning of summer for me. Truth be told, I've had it for several years now (just a random purchase at Zara) and every time I think to sell or donate it, I always end up saving it from the discard pile. I like to think of it as my Carrie Bradshaw dress, perfect for weekend brunch (or in this case, an impromptu wine and dinner date) with the gals.

I've loved this Carolina Herrera print since it debuted a few seasons ago (I mean, just how adorable does Stephanie LaCava look in it?!) so I was beyond excited when I snagged this skirt on major sale via The Real Real. After all, I love me a good bird print (as seen here). 

And while we're on the topic of the aforementioned link, look how short my hair was a year ago! I'm due for a cut this weekend -- shall I chop much shorter similar to last year's cut or just trim it?

I love me a crisp white pant suit. As Heather put it, this was my Miami Vice meets Santa Barbara look. More to come this week of our little road trip this past weekend -- speaking of which, did you happen to catch our fun ride? 

How was your weekend?

Huge thanks to everyone who came out last night to the Ted Baker 25th anniversary party! Definitely great seeing old friends and making new ones -- especially while donning a little print on print action, like the number above. I'm not usually one to rock shorts (you'll notice they don't happen often here on the blog), but the birds in mid-flight print made me reconsider, and fast. 

P.S. You can still enter to win a trip to Scotland thanks to the folks over at Ted Baker. Just enter here.

Clearly, I still have Gatsby fever with this trumpet flared dress -- and the fact I have the soundtrack on repeat these days doesn't help! Speaking of which, let's just flashback to 1996 for a moment, when my 10-year-old self begged my mom for the Romeo & Juliet soundtrack. Funny how Leo and Baz strike again, ain't it?

Will I be seeing you this Thursday? Hope so!

Sometimes, the most simple of outfits are my absolute favorites. Especially when I get to test drive new pieces, like this distressed denim skirt I mentioned the other day. Give me a silky blouse, a pencil skirt and some classic heels and I'm out the door.

This weekend was jam packed with, well, champagne actually. Kicking things off on Friday with an impromptu champs catch up session with the girls to a wine country birthday celebration on Saturday, rounded off on Sunday with a slightly hungover brunch (and bottomless guava mimosas to boot) -- I think I might have to take a break from the bubbly for a while.  I know! Blasphemy, right?!

Slight headaches aside though -- how was your weekend?

Was feeling particularly inspired by this look I stumbled upon a few weeks ago -- so really, I couldn't help myself. The overalls had to come back out to play. (Remember how I wore them last time for this moving day look?)  

P.S. Would really appreciate your vote in the Vanity Fair Best Dressed contest! You can vote here.

I love the very beginning of spring when you can leave work at 6 and still enjoy a sunny walk around the neighborhood when you get home. The man friend and I have yet to really fully explore our new 'hood but luckily this little guy is just the excuse we need!

Ah, you caught me! Another black and white combination strikes again -- but I do believe this mint zebra tank is my saving grace, so it kinda gets me off the hook, right? Right? 🙂

How was your weekend?

I mentioned I might be abusing my black and white combinations as of late and this new jumpsuit of mine was no exception to the mix. Throw in some metallic touches for good measure and I'm out the door! Oh, and be sure to check out how my lovely coworker and good friend Meghan styled her jumpsuit -- now her take is just the inspiration I need to inject more color around these parts. Perhaps next week?

Currently having a metallic moment and I blame it entirely on this purchase.

I randomly stumbled across this oldie (but a goodie) pin of TTH this past weekend. While I still like her version better, I'm glad my rendition proved to be a nice break from all the black and white I've been sporting lately.

Since I couldn't be at Coachella this year, I figured I'd pay homage in my own way, (especially because we had an unusually warm Saturday this past weekend in San Francisco). If you can't beat them, join them (in crop tops) right?

No Coachella for me this past weekend. I think my body is still recovering from the serious sunburn I got there four years ago. But it also happened to be the year Paul McCartney headlined -- so all in all, no regrets. 😉

Just my regular work go-to: statement dress, leather jacket and my shoe of the moment. Am I guilty of abusing this combo? Most definitely. Do I regret it? Not really. I do, however, regret this hair rut I'm in right now. Not sure if I should go shorter or let it grow out a bit -- either way, I'm in dire need of mixing things up. This haphazard ponytail isn't cutting it!

Meet my new favorite sweater. Slouchy and kinda sexy at the same time. Zara has been killing it lately with their sweater selection. Admittedly, I've been on a Zara fast as of late (recovering addict if you must know), but I'm considering easing back into it after this purchase.

I don't normally sport such a retro silhouette, but the print of this dress made me reconsider. Besides, a girl sometimes need an excuse to twirl, right?

Finally got on board with the front slit jean trend -- and I'm not sure why it took me so long! Took some scissors to this pair of jeans that were slightly too long for me (which let's face it, describes most of my jeans) and I'm so tempted to do the same to a few other pairs. Like a modern take on a boot cut jean that still shows off your shoe. Win, win all around.

Spent last weekend up at Lake Tahoe and it was just the recharge I needed. Nearly 60 degree weather up on the slopes at Squaw and a few mean Scrabble matches (with wine in tow) can work wonders, if you ask me.

How was your weekend?

Jacket: Zara; Dress: 10 Crosby Derek Lam; Shoes: Celine; Veiled beanie: DIY

I bought this birdcage veil months ago and only recently got around to following this tutorial from Honestly WTF. Well, by follow, I mean I had every intention of sewing the veil onto the beanie but since I was technically borrowing it from the man friend, I figured it would be best to tie instead. I'm sure he's relieved to hear that, right Dan? 🙂

These shoes had a funny way of working their way into my life. I remember spotting them at an end of season Neiman Marcus sale last year in Vegas, only to walk away from them because the sticker price was still too high. Flash forward to a few weeks ago, when I stopped by Jeremy's with a few girlfriends, only to see them sitting by themselves on a shelf (looking awfully lonely!). And you know what? I passed. Again. Price was still too high and the size wasn't quite right (you can tell from the photos, they're about a half size too big). Finally, the third try came through -- price was lowered yet again thanks to a great sale and I decided to pull the trigger (and promptly got these shoe inserts to prevent my foot from slipping). Sometimes, you just have to let shoe fate (read: stubbornness) work its magic.
