Valentino Resort 2014

valentino_1valentino_4valentino_5valentino_6 valentino_8 valentino_7 valentino_10 valentino_11

Hot pink cheetah print, neon camouflage and oversize anoraks – Valentino has made it all look chic. If you haven’t seen this collection yet, you’re missing out big time. It’s packed with lace, folksy florals and plenty of embroidery and beading. The pieces somehow get prettier and more sophisticated as they go on (view the slideshow for the full effect). Don’t miss the fantastic pleating and seaming, either – these pieces are perfect down to the stitch. The shoes are to die for, too, and each look is perfectly matched with a pair of sandals, flats, or boots. Summer 2013 hasn’t even ended yet, and I’m already looking forward to next year.

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.

Wanted: Chiffon Dress

Target Dress

I almost never shop at Target for clothes – except, of course, when they have a designer collection out (speaking of, start getting excited over this). I do, however, see a lot of people (in real life and online) wear cute things from there – especially dresses – which prompted me to take a peek at their online selection. I found this dress, which comes in six colors that are perfect for spring. It would be perfect to pair with embellished sandals to wear to brunch or graduations. I’m partial to the minty color – which is your favorite?

Spring Essential: Patterned Shorts

shorts 2 shorts 3

1/2

Patterned shorts are an easy alternative for those who aren’t entirely ready to commit to a full pair of patterned pants (this was me last summer). While stripes and polka dots are easy to find and wear, consider buying a pair of statement shorts (I just bought these over the weekend) to spice up your wardrobe. The two pairs above feature monochromatic color schemes, making them easy to pair with tops and sweaters of a variety of colors.

Stock Up Now – Winter

With the start of December comes the start of a new, warmer clothing season and a (almost – December 21st) new season all together. Come late December, I’ll be adding to my current wardrobe to get me through until March. I’ve come up with a trendy, versatile and cozy list of essentials for the winter months, along with some of my favorite examples of the pieces.

What pieces will you be buying this winter?

P.S. Sorry for being away again! Last week was bad & busy. To recover, I’ve spent my last two weekends indulging in some retail therapy – I bought this chair which you can pretty easily guess I’m obsessed with (from reading this post), and a dress for the holiday season.
