SUPER BOWL: I Call the Shots!

Teaming up with Because Life is a Party again today to bring you this weekend's most important things: the Super Bowl, jello shots, and your outfit!

1. Beer Jello Shot

2. Ref Jello Shot

3. Team Jello Shots

Shop the outfit:

Jacket

Dress

Necklace 

Purse

Shoes

Starring: Sneakers and T-Shirt dresses

If I can find an excuse to wear a t-shirt and sneakers, I will do it.  If I can do it while still being fun and stylish, then even better!  I wanted these outfits to be comfortable but loaded with playfulness.  Only one layer and perfect for the hot summer, these small recipe outfits certainly don't lack in pizazz (or price- sorry!).  Adding socks to test the current trend...optional.

Starring: Orange Ya Glad?!

I'm in Florida right now...can't ya tell!? Feeling quite inspired by those juicy oranges!

Copy That: Emilio Pucci

I don't know if Emilio Pucci has improved, or if I finally woke up and realized how great this line is.  Every season he has done this year is to die for.  I couldn't find a printed fringe skirt (hello designers, please knock this off already), but I thought the fringe itself and shape were what drew me in more than the print.  There are a bunch of printed mini skirts out there, but I feel the outfit becomes a little more hoochy when it's solely a tight mini skirt and crop top.

Top: BCBG available at Revolve.
Skirt: Free People
Shoes:  Belle by Sigerson Morrison at Shopbop.
Belt: Maison Scotch at Revolve.
Watch: Marc by Marc at Nordstrom.

Copy That: Isabel Marant Spring '14

How to knock off the runway....somewhat cheaper ;)

Next Best

My sister bought me this amazing Marc by Marc Jacobs purse for Birthmas (my birthday & Christmas), and I wore it to the death.  It went with everything, and added a fun print to bland outfits.  May it rest in peace.

She then miraculously found it's mirror twin at Buffalo Exchange! Her seriously incredible hunting skills made a seriously happy little sister.

Alas, it too is on its way out.  I wear it pretty much every day, and I have got to find something to replace it before it's too late!  

Here are some of the ones I have come up with...

Worshipped Wishes

Hey these are all on sale! Oh wait, they still cost a lot.  We (I) can still dream though!

We got a little taste of summer over here on the west coast a couple weekends ago, and baby it was good.  Now that it is chilly again, and I'm in my cozy leggings and sweaters for another week at least, I am fantasizing about my future tan and summer toned bod (wishful thinking for sure here).  If my "get hot for summer plan" continues/actually works, I am gearing up for sleeveless and minis - and bravely in WHITE. Ambitious, I know, but it's all about winning 30. ;)

P.S. My fave below is the Victoria Beckham outfit, but knowing me, I'd actually wear the Dolce Vita bootie combo instead.

Items found on Shopbop, Revolve, Etsy, Bloomingdales, Zappos, Net-a-Porter, & Nordstrom

Put a Vest on It

When the summer starts heating up, all we want to do is wear as little as possible...but I never feel like I've made an outfit with just a shirt and shorts.  My solution is to throw a vest on it.  I practically live in my Club Monaco utility vest in the summer...so I think I need to invest in a few more...vests =)
