Uniform de Summer

Since the sun is finally out, it's got me thinking about what I'll be jaunting around town in all summer. Or at least, in my imagination.

 Obviously, the vintage Lanvin sunglasses above are the ideal accessory for all of my St. Tropez-style tanning and convertible riding. 

A little shirtdress from J. Crew.

This Roberta Roller Rabbit scarf is light enough to add some color without burning me up (Arkansas is a hot place, in case you haven't heard).

Some cut out Miu Miu sandals. I could live with that.

A stack of these on both arms, naturally.

Hermes orange goes with everything!

And my iPad needs a cute new outfit too. I think this Burberry number will do.

Sooooo what will you kitty cats be wearing all summer?? 

Wanderlust Overload

Am I crazy for thinking these pants are the bomb?? 

In my wildest dreams I live in a small island town where I get to wear them every day along with:

A panama hat, naturally.

A pair of hot pink crocodile Stubbs? Perfect for my imaginary dream world, methinks.

Last but not least!: A denim tuxedo shirt. 

Then I could ride around on my old Schwinn with a basket full of hydrangeas. 

I also have fantasies about being an old lady who wears ponchos and pounds of turquoise jewelry has a long silver braid and lives on a horse farm in Montana. But we'll save that for another time.

Now if only the Arkansas severe weather warnings would cease and I could debut my newest look. 

The Perfect Necklace....Found!

How fabulous is this little number?? I searched for "J. Crew Turquoise Necklace" hoping to find the one I borrowed from my dear mother. I might as well have typed "Jewelry Soul Mate", because this is what I found! 

I think it really suits me-- I can't wait to get it in the mail (in 13-22 business days, sniff).

Such a Stud

Don't you just love this cuff from J. Crew?! I'm ordering one ASAP! Rachel Zoe would be proud.

What a Deal!

After a fun afternoon of babysitting (aka getting play-doh put all over my face and then my iphone stolen so I could be photographed with play-doh all over my face), I headed over to the J. Crew in Fig Garden Village for a little shopping and they have the most amazing sale going on!

You literally get  an extra 30% off sale items whose prices end in $.99. I got these jeans for under $15!!

Hurry over there quick!

Where art thou, perfect necklace?

Just because my mother (aka Big Edie) is sooo sweet, I had the opportunity to borrow this fantastic necklace for my reunion this past weekend (center). Unfortunately, she won't let me call it my own, and I don't blame her! It is awesome. 

She got it from J. Crew a year or two ago, and I'm sad to say they don't make it anymore. And what is a girl to do??

I found these on the website:

But they really don't satisfy my itch. We have some stuff in the store made by Parkers in the Pass that is all great and makes a statement much like my mom's piece, but it's just not the same. Do you guys know where I could get my hands on something like it?? I'm desperate!! 

Nightie Night

I might as well let it be known that yes, I did used to wear one of these flannel masterpieces to bed occasionally until I was about 11. 

Sometimes you choose comfort and toastiness over....well....pretty much anything else. These days I prefer the standard old t-shirt.

But as I was flipping through the Victoria's Secret catalog today I realized that I may be missing out on a whole word of cute and sassy PJs. Don't get me wrong: some items in the catalog are too sassy for my liking, but my bedtime wear could use a little refreshing. So I went to an old, dear friend for guidance: Anthropologie.

Here is what I found!

which makes a set with these:

Adorable, right? Almost as cute as this set:

Which I would wear under these:

Silk jams from J. Crew, of course. 

And for a perfectly sound slumber:

A nice eye mask from this cool Etsy shop.

I can't wait to climb into my big comfy bed feeling chic even in my sleep. 

Mmmmm. Good night!!
