red, white & blue

 

red white & blue
I have to admit that 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. Maybe it’s because of all the memories I have have summers spent watching the fireworks in Colorado with my family or the patriotic spirit that comes with the day, but it’s just such a happy holiday. And let’s not forget being able to dress in a ridiculous amount of red, white & blue and think nothing of it! How fun are the pieces above? I particularly love the subtly sexy Topshop dress and the Dolce Vita sandals that’ll take you through summer in its entirety.
What will you be wearing come this Fourth?

w&w gift guide : 02 : bloggers picks

I had so much fun last year rounding up the gift picks of some of my favorite bloggers (see here) that I decided to do it again this year! For the second installment of the WIT & Whimsy 2011 Gift Guide, here is what’s topping the wish lists of some of my daily reads from blogger friends.

1.
“My gift pick this year is Vogue: The Covers Book. I’m a sucker for coffee table books, especially with beautiful photography & fashion!” – Helena, Brooklyn Blonde
2.
“I’ve wanted this scarf for forever, and after seeing the McQueen show at the Met this year, I’m even more obsessed!  This skull print is iconic and will never go out of style, and I think this is such a fun way to dress up a winter coat or dress!” – Katy, Sugarlaws
3.
“At the top of my wish list this year is Khepri’s Hedy Cabas Tote.  The bags are designed by a friend of mine, and they are each crafted from 100% vintage materials.  This one is my favorite – super soft lambskin – and big enough for me to fit my laptop, clutch, camera, and other essentials.” – Grace, Stripes + Sequins
4.
“I’m loving dainty gold necklaces and this Topshop Barb Wire Station necklace has just the right amount of attitude too!” – Anh, 9 to 5 Chic
5.
“One of my favorite gifts to both give and receive is a fabulous new nail shade.  Nail polish is perfect the gift during the holiday season when many of us are dressing up for a holiday soiree or two.  A few of my favorites are Dior ‘Tuxedo’, Chanel ‘Pirate’, and the oh so affordable J.Crew FACE gift set.” – Blair, Atlantic-Pacific
6.
“At the top of my list this year are the Rag & Bone Ivydale gloves. I’m desperately in need of a quality (and chic) pair of gloves for this winter!” – Alicia, Cheetah is the New Black
7.
“While my wish list is a plenty, if I had to choose one piece it would be the Ava Tufted Sofa from Urban Outfitters. My husband and I are moving into a new apartment the week before Christmas + I’ve caught the decorating bug, BAD! This sofa is a combination of all the necessities – chic, affordable and functional!” – Christine, Court + Hudson
Thanks so much to the above ladies for participating! I love their picks! Which is your favorite?

the trends you won’t find me wearing

 

With New York Fashion Week kicking off this Thursday, the word “trend” will be all over which got me thinking about some of the fall trends popping up lots of places that I just know I won’t be sporting anytime soon. Sometimes it takes quite a bit to admit not jumping on certain fashion bandwagons, but these are the ones I just can’t bring myself to wear.

Any trends you won’t be wearing anytime soon despite their popularity?

p.s. tomorrow i speak at IFB! will you be there? if not, won’t you tune in?! xo
