OVER/UNDER: The Football Dress

rlr mini in her Madewell version (which, sadly, appears to have sold out, but....)

Short-Sleeved Dress, $69.95, H&M

We're willing to wager a bet that this football dress from H&M will be your new fav piece. Whether playing a game of pick-up (from daycamp) or making an epic touchdown (in L.A, Miami or Capri), you'll be the best dressed playa on any field. And thanks to this frock's flowy silhouette, nobody will see your tight end (or not-so-tight-end) coming or going. My husband played tight end on his highschool football team. I still think that's funny.

After scouring 3 separate locations in Toronto yesterday, the intelligentsia at H&M Headquarters tells me that this dress has not even arrived in Canada yet. Luckily the frock is en route and is expected to touch down at Yorkdale, Bloor St. and Eaton Centre stores the first week of August. Get ready for full-body tackles with other like-minded ladies for this one. Just remember as you head into the battle: Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose...

Happy Friday!

Let's. Play. Ball.

Nothing hides a bad hair day quite as sweetly as a borrowed-from-the-boys baseball cap and every in-demand model, actress, & editrix is wearing one right now.  Sadly, my boy doesn't own any baseball hats (baldophobia, I think), and my old, once-perfectly-worn-in hats from highschool just aren't cutting it anymore. I missed the boat on this piece of Liberty Art Strawberry Thief magnificence from J.Crew (sold out faster than a MLB World Series match - Go, Jays, Go!), but at $92, I don't really think I could have justified the spend.

Luckily, this adorable floral cap from Madewell just arrived and I can't wait to buy it. Madewell teamed up with Biltmore Hats, the famed almost century-old Canadian haberdashery, to create a cute cotton baseball cap inspired by an actual vintage floral photo, and it will add a perfect printed pop to all of my spring and summer looks. Pretty! Update: Just bought it! When I said I couldn't wait...
