Blouse: My mother's, Leggings: Target, Booties: Tahari

Looking over the new Dolce & Gabbana ready-to-wear collection, I was reminded of a certain big shouldered blouse I had seen in my mom's closet. 80's Power Dressing has returned for fall!

What I'm Wearing


Ruffle strap top: J.Crew, Brown tank top: Ambiance, Jeans: Delia's, Cutout Oxfords: Made By Elves, Shell Bracelet: Bought in Tela Mar Beach in Honduras

Wore this outfit to my friends graduation party. Today was the one day of the week in which it didn't rain so I took advantange of the dry weather and wore one of my favorite pairs of shoes. I love the cutout detail on these.

Summer time and the livin's easy

MY TOP 5 SUMMER ESSENTIALS



1. Rainbow flip flops- the most comfortable, durable leather flip flops ever. Available in a variety of styles and colors Rainbows have arch support and mold to your feet. They even come with a warranty, but you probably won't need to use it or have to buy a new pair every year!

2. Summer tote bag- in the summer I need a carry-all that's stylish and functional, cute enough to look great with any outfit, yet strong enough to hold all the gear I lug with me on trips and to the beach. This year I choose on from Coach(only $90 at the factory store!!)

3. Gladiator sandals- as of last year, Roman sandals have become my summer staple. This silver snakeskin leather pair from Nine West is great for traveling: lightweight, easy to pack, and great for walking the streets of NYC or anywhere in comfort and style.

4. Oversized sunglasses- a must have for summer! these Betsey Johnson frames offer 100% UV protection and their large frames protect practically all of my face from the sun's rays. The round lenses offer a mod twist to all my outfits.

5. Neutrogena Healthy Defense SPF 30 Daily Moisturizer- I never leave the house without putting this on. This moisturizer is so light and doesn't clog my pores or leave a shiny flim on my face. It works great under makeup and gives me the sun protection I need without the messiness of applying sunscreen.

This collection is perfect for summer with its bright floral skirts and playful dresses. Also, this collection gives everyone a chance to wear the garments of this surf style designer who dressed Michelle Obama for a National Prayer Service in January.
