I’m currently working on a project that relates to 1960’s fashion. In my quick research of the styles from that era, I was consistently inspired by photos of Twiggy in brightly colored clothes and big earrings. I’ve long been a fan of Twiggy (especially her signature makeup), and I can’t help but be inspired by these bright, mod looks.

Right now, I love the idea of wearing a simple tee (especially in this way-cool ikat print) with cuffed denim, and layering on simple but edgy jewelry. I’ve also been kind of obsessed with these sneakers since I saw them in the Madewell store a few weeks ago, and I think they’d be the perfect addition to just about any casual Saturday look.

I’ll admit, maxi dresses aren’t for everyone. But, if they’re in an extra-light, floaty chiffon like these, you might just be convinced to give one a go. (And if you have cold feet, one of the above would be perfect – you’ll only spend $16).

A while ago, I woke up wanting eggs Benedict. They’re something I only have when I’m eating brunch out, but I thought, How hard could it be to make them myself? I quickly found a recipe (here) that looked pretty simple. The Hollandaise sauce is the most time-consuming part, and one of my poached eggs didn’t turn out too pretty (I spared you from pictures of it), but I can guarantee you that if you follow the instructions, it will turn out delicious, no matter what it looks like. As I learned while making this, nothing is too meticulous – I used bacon instead of Canadian bacon, and if the consistency of the sauce isn’t to your liking, you can always add more water or butter. Fair warning: the recipe for the Hollandaise sauce makes a lot of extra, but that just gives you an excuse to have eggs Benedict again the next morning (it’s also easy to cut in half, if you like).

I’ve recently become a fan of C. Wonder – I love the bright colors, fresh patterns and classic silhouettes that they have to offer. Their prices, like J. Crew’s, however, are a bit more than I can afford on a regular basis. So, I was blown away when I fell in love with this clutch and saw it was on sale for a mere $30. I’m thinking I’ll have to snatch one up and start sprinkling some C. Wonder into my closet.
