Inspired: Party Balloons

balloons_1 balloons_2 balloons_3 balloons_4 balloons_5 balloons_6

With my birthday tomorrow, I’ve been dreaming about lavish party decorations (and cake, obviously) – so I picked a few of my favorite pins from my Pinterest balloon board to celebrate. Unfortunately, I won’t be filling my house with balloons and streamers tomorrow, much as I’d like to – instead, I’ll be spending some time today with a friend (eating cupcakes and watching Audrey Hepburn movies, naturally) and going out to lunch and a museum on my birthday. What’s your favorite way to spend your birthday?

I’m a pretty big fan of Zara, and have been for a while – I love their bold, streamlined clothes, their graphic textiles, and especially their shoes. Needless to say, I anxiously await their annual summer sale each year to stock up on transition pieces at a crazy amazing price – and, my friends, it’s the sale time of year. I stumbled across it the other day while online shopping, and quickly snapped up this in camel, this in dark grey, this in mink, and these shoes in burgundy (I’ve been searching for the perfect smoking slippers for ages, and since these came in burgundy – which you should know by now is my favorite fall color – I knew they had to be mine). Here are a few of my other favorite pieces from the sale, all of which would work perfectly  transitioning into fall.

It’s in the Bag

In the past few years, I’ve discovered I’m not big on big purses – I much prefer smaller satchels and clutches. Crazily, I never pack that much in my purse – my wallet, phone, earbuds, lip balm, a mirror, some tissues and hand sanitizer are my essentials – so I don’t feel the need to pack a big bag. I’ve also found that I like having something small I can tuck under my arm for when I’m perusing cramped antique stores that doesn’t tend to swing around like a shoulder bag. Because of this discovery, I’ve decided it’s time for me to start looking for some more small purses and clutches to add to my collection –  I’ve rounded up some of my favorites above. What kind of purse do you like best?

Summer Essential

Square/Cat Eye/Retro/Wayfarer/Aviator/Round

Sunglasses are the quintessential summer accessory, but I’m a little ashamed to say that I don’t have many pairs. At all. It’s not that I have anything against them, it’s that I always make the mistake of looking at rack after rack of sunglasses, and soon enough they all end up looking pretty much the same. So I’ve compiled a list of my six favorite shade styles, from cat eye to aviator to the ever-popular wayfarer. I’m partial to the sleek retro pair – which kind is your favorite?
