Usually Friday means I post the latest and greatest fashion layout of the week, but I've decided to mix things up.

I live for a bold print. Now I must admit while I'm not a huge floral fan, I love a great graphic print. I look for something geometric, involving repetition, and a limited color palette. This Milly dress certainly fit all of my criteria. I picked this dress to wear for my final night in Cancun. Adios Mexico! Wearing in Wonderland - Milly 'Elizabete' dress, Marc by Marc Jacob wedges, Taylor Kenney earrings, J.Crew and Banana Republic bracelets. Continue reading

With spring-like temperatures here in the south, (yesterday was 70 degrees!) my mind is dreaming of sleeveless tops, sandals, and skirts. But with my wallet glued shut at the moment all I can do is dream. This little skirt from Old Navy provides maximum dreaming capability with bold colors and breezy fabric. I would pair it with a nude tank, nude sandals and tons of bangles. Interested? No worries, it will only set you back $21 (with code NEWYOU) Purchase it here! EVERYTHING is 30% until 1/19 at Gap, Banana Republic, and Old Navy stores. Continue reading

The holidays are always a crazy time, so my fiancé and I couldn't wait to get away after New Years. I don't know if I was more excited for the beach or getting to wear my new resort wear purchases. Especially this massive Diane von Furstenberg scarf... Did I mention it has pom-poms?!? Who doesn't love pom-poms? Best of all, this scarf can be worn in so many ways. I couldn't wait to go to the pool with it styled as a sarong. Wearing in Wonderland (above) - Diane Von Furstenberg 'Rochelle' scarf, Alexander Wang T dress, Antik Batik bracelets,...

I love vintage. Sooooo, when my FMiL (future mother-in-law) told me she had a vintage fur that I might like I couldn't wait to try it on. She failed to mention it was Christian Dior...and from 70's.

Even though it's 40 degrees outside, I'm pondering spring. My fiancé and I (oh that's fun to say) are off to Mexico in a couple weeks and I'm dreaming of the perfect sandal.

From the top left, clockwise: RED Valentino 'Jude' platform sandals, RED Valentino bow flat sandals, Rachel Zoe 'Kayne' wedge, Giuseppe Zanotti metal counter sandals.
