Lilly-isms

Today, I'm clicking my lime green heels together in hopes of transporting myself to the infamous Lilly Warehouse Sale... until then, I'll leave you with some words of wisdom from Lilly herself.

Are any of you attending the sale? Share your steals, pretty please! Here's to doing it our own way.

Summer Tweed

While perusing the new arrivals at Kate Spade (a favorite activity of mine), I was stopped dead in my tracks by this little tweed jacket. I took a moment to swoon over this matching purse and to zoom in on all the gorgeous details (you should too!). I realize tweed is typically considered a fall or winter fabric, but Kate shows us how to do summer tweed right.

What do you think? Can tweed work in warmer weather?

The Arrival of Summer

This past weekend, summertime has arrived by storm here on Cape Cod. While flipping through the latest issue of Reign Magazine, I fell in love with these photos. Don't they just scream summer fun?!

I want to slip into my brightest prints and spent a day at the fair with my mister! 

Great Gatsby Glamour

I am finally going to see the Great Gatsby, and I am beyond excited. The 20's glamour, the fabulous parties, the romance, the drama, the Prada costumes...the parfait way to spend a rainy afternoon, oui? 

Happy Monday, old sport. 

Sunshine

The sun is shining and summer temperatures are finally here in New England! 

Wishing you all a sunny and incredibly chic weekend.

Can we talk about this maxi please?!?

 

Milly for Banana Republic

Since the Milly for Banana Republic collaboration was announced this past January, I have been anxiously awaiting this day. (I had dreamed of frolicking around Greece in Milly maxis, but alas the launch came two weeks too late...) Milly is one of my favorite designers with her glamorous girly style...and at Banana prices I just may die. My mother sent me a reminder last night that the collection is launching today... how cute is she?! I have scoped out all of my favorites, and I cannot wait to go wild in the fitting room today. 

Here are a few pieces that I have my eye on...

Colorblock pleated patio dress 

Printed halter top

Sleeveless jacquard dress

Two tone stretch bracelet 

Medallion print roll-sleeve top, elephant print short

Elephant print scarf

Patent wicker clutch

The colors, the prints, the whimsical Hamptons feel - ooh la la! 

Which are your faves? Will you be shopping today?

Smiles, Sequins, and Champagne

Let's Get Nautty!

I was smitten the second I spotted these nautical baubles from C.Wonder...even cuter? The nautical flags spell out "I Love You"!

Happy Memorial Day weekend! 

Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf's

Ever since previewing the trailer at IFB Con in February, I have been dying to see this gem. Tonight, I have a date with some girlfriends for the final screening in Boston, and I am giddy. Here's why...

Bergdorf is the jewel in the crown and the centerpiece for retail in New York. There isn't anything else like it. - Joe Zee

It's everything it implies: beauty, excitement. - Vera Wang

Being able to shop at Bergdorf Goodman is an aphrodisiac. - Robert Verdi

I did not think of saying I want my ashes scattered at Macy's or Bloomingdale's. Bergdorf was the only one that worked. - Victoria Roberts

Outfits of Greece

I'm still suffering from a bit of jet lag, and I haven't even unzipped one suitcase to unpack yet... but I'm slowly getting back on American time. 

Choosing vacation outfits is always fun...I imagine myself in each spot and which pieces I will wear. Here is a sneak peek into our trip through my outfits... 

Peplum and white skinnies in Athens to visit the Acropolis.

Black and white stripes in Aigos Nikolaos, Crete. 

More peplum for day 2 in Crete, paired with neons and prints. 

Arriving in Santorini required Lilly....

And I continued the Lilly theme for our second day in Sanorini. 

Neon pops were parfait for Mykonos.

A day beach-hopping in Mykonos demanded a casual Lilly dress.

Back in Athens for sightseeing in a Trina Turk for Banana maxi. 

Many more photos and a full recap to come. Kisses!
