a novel idea

yesterday, i talked about my time at the vintage book fair

in soho where i purchased a bunch of books for a dollar each to add to my coffee table and living room collection >> pop by the full post here. so today, i'm sharing some of my finds!

a lobster in the city

sunday morning's should be spent hunting for vintage books at a street fair in soho, and sunday afternoon's are for enjoying lobster grilled cheese on a stoop with your frenchie.

vintage books have become my newest obsession, so when I heard one of my favorite city thrift shops was hosting a street book fair in soho, I couldn't resist! I mean who can say no to coffee table books for $1!

nothing says summer in new york like a good old fashioned picnic!

despite my perfect picnic attire, i have yet to picnic in the city! but i did spend the day with a hansom french man!

freckled.

today i suit up in spots and a splash of neon for a some summer sizzle.

 i'm a sucker for a summer suit, so when i found this printed peplum and the matching shorts, i had to suit up!

modcloth pop-up shop!

last weekend i was honored to attend modcloth's first ever pop up shop, with one of my favorite people miss channing pickett ... and today i'm sharing some of the highlights!

if you aren't familiar with modcloth, you should be!

when life gives you lemons

... why not turn them into an outfit!

  

this dress

excuse me, while i show off the newest addition to my closet...

this dress isn't my usual shape (i'm mostly a fit and flair kind of girl) but i had to make an exception for this beauty. i'm crazy about the color blocking and the sparkle collar is the final finishing touch.

tuesday team-up: go spurs!

since we're smack in the middle of the nba finals, i decided to team up with the talented alexis of stylish gameday to cook up some fashionable ways to show your san antonio spirit, go spurs!

she's feeling twenty two

yesterday, one of my favorite people turned 22!
so of course we celebrated in style...

little miss channing pickett is a darling superstar in the making. i'm constantly in awe by her beauty, charm and poise and i cannot wait to see her name in lights where it most certainly belongs! so here's to you chan, i hope 22 treats you like the queen you most certainly are!

tomato, tomahto

 i'm not too fond of tomatoes to snack on but have no problem looking to this vibrate veggie (it's technically a fruit, but i can't quite commit to calling it one) for outfit inspiration!

tomato red is a bold color choice, but pairing it with a contrasting color opposite of red on the color-wheel can give it an extra pop! and finishing with black & white takes the look to another level.
