I have a glaring blind spot when it comes to stripes. I see them, I want them, I buy them, and now, after years of hard work, I've managed to amass dozens of striped tops. When I see a perfect stripe, it's like my brain momentarily lapses, ignoring the impressive collection I already own, forgetting that the last thing I need is another striped shirt. I add it to my closet and wonder how I ever ended up with so many. It's a problem.
And so, I was thrilled that summer's biggest print trend is black & white stripes. After all, I own lots of navy with white and white with navy breton striped shirts (there's a difference, I swear) plus a few sporty red & white bateau necks thrown in for good measure. But mod black & white? I definitely (maybe?) don't own any of those. I'm sensing that this is one of those blind spot moments. Ignore.
If you worry about the whole 'horizontal stripes make you look fat' thing, fret not. Read on for some style tips on how to pull off stripes. I think they meant to say 'fab' instead of 'fat' anyway. Let's just chalk that up to a typo, shall we? General rule of thumb: Wide stripes add curves and narrow stripes make you look slimmer. See? Easy.

The lazy days of summer are officially upon us, calling for a new, prettier kind of uniform: the throw-on-and-go dress. Whether maxi, mini or anywhere in between, a good dress will be your go-to all steamy season long.
Check out all of my pretty under-$100 picks here.
Hope your week's off to a great start!

On a hot summer day, who wants to wear jeans? We do, we do! When worn right, denim can look divine all year long. After all, nothing is cooler than roughed-up, destroyed, worn-in-in-all-the-right-places denim to give your wardrobe that chilled-out vibe so perfect for a long, lazy summer. Need a denim update? Check out this Essential Summer Denim Guide for 2013 with the top tricks and trends to follow for a totally jean-ious summer look...

I'm not one to wear my love of flowers overtly on my sleeve - or my skirts or my pants for that matter. It's not that I don't like florals but let's just say I'm pretty picky when picking my posies, petunias and other floral fabrics. Flowers can easily look super young, super old or just super tack; I generally try to avoid looking like any of the aforementioned.
When I spied this dress at Tristan the other week, I felt like I'd stepped straight into a Giverny scene. It's bright, cheery and perfectly Impressionistic and made me feel instantly happy on an otherwise blah day. On its own, the dress does look a little too sweet, a little too la dee dah for me, so I threw on a biker bomber to tone it down. On a hot day like today, I'd add a sexy black ankle strap sandal for some grown-up edge.
You like? You love? I hope somebody gets married or has a baby stat so I can rock this frock at the next shower...
