Oh how I love the classics! Give me a Chanel suit any day... glad to see that Hailee Seinfeld shares my sensibilities. Shout out to Tommy Hilfiger's Prep World collection... this outfit is awesome.

Loafers are back for fall!

The heat this summer has made it harder for me to get into fall... I can't even think about a sweater besides purchasing one! However... I can definitely get behind the loafers look for fall. Last week I saw a pair that I loved at Intermix, then I got today's shopbop e-mail re-enforcing my new obsession. 

It looks like I know what my fall update will be now!

So chic... Almost makes me wish it was cold

Oh New York in the 80's...

Match made in heaven

Sorry I've been MIA... work has been insane, plus I'm also social media lead for an art gallery these days... Anyway, had to break the hiatus to share this! 

Shopbop has done it again with their current lookbook - Current Elliot and Equipment.

 Simple but fantastic looks I'm going to love incorporating into the mix:

This look might be my favorite - love the colors!

Finally a romper I could wear!

Sexy while being covered up - love it!

Now if only it wasn't so hot that I want nothing to do with jeans...

Inspiration: Casual Night Out

Today's photo via Refinery29. They did a piece on Kate Foley -  a buyer for Opening Ceremony. I loved the first look in the story:

It made me think immediately of my favoriate ripped up boyfriend jeans that are light weight for the summer. While I love them, I've often struggled with how to dress them up. Thanks to Kate Foley - now I'm going to look for an embellished top out of my closet, pull out my favorite pink heels and I'll be good to go!

So what if I wasn't going to go out tonight... there's no better excuse than a great outfit, right?

Summer in the City Dressing (via the Outnet)

Oh The Outnet - how I love your fantastic deals! And today I'm super inspired by the look included in their weekly e-mail. This week's trend: "Summer in the City" 

I love the perfect loop on the belt, the rose color, sleek pony tail, sunglasses, nude heels... ok the whole thing! Even love that she went for the peek of lingerie which has been so big. While I don't think I'll be able to quite show off part of my bra at work - I'll definitely want to try an iteration of this during the summer months!

The full e-mail: 

So take a piece of inspiration from their book. Or go ahead and snag one of their great deals!

I have been doing some shopping lately...

I've been in a shopping mood (which is dangerous).... and have made a few recent purchases. Look for some upcoming posts on my new finds! 

To provide you with a  preview, all of the buys are:

- Accessories (shoes count, right?)

- Purchased via sample sale / membership website (aka good deals!)

But no one's more excited than me... can't wait for these to arrive in the mail!
