must have a one-piece ...

I'm searching for the perfect one-piece bathing suit right now...here's what I've found so far...

{juicy couture beach little lulu}

{anthropologie swept sash maillot}

{anthropologie a tall order one-piece}

{carmen marc valvo retro one-piece}

{coco rave bandeau swimdress}

....splurge option

{diane von furstenberg sashe}

must have these wedges...

{negative space wedges}

I've only barely started thinking about spring fashion, but I've just decided that these are the first shoes that have me dreaming about springtime...I got an Anthropologie catalogue in the mail today and it was love at first sight...these are the first on my list!

They remind of the Pierre Hardy + Gap wooden wedges that I tried to hunt down last year and couldn't find anywhere...but I think I like these even more...


They're just so darn cute...must must have

anthropologie: winterize your summer looks

{summer}

Any ad that shows you how to style a piece is so much more successful than an ad that shows a piece on its own.

I love taking my summer dresses into fall and winter by adding layers, cardies, tights, socks, and boots (or if you live in San Francisco, this might just be taking my summer dresses into summer...seriously does it ever get into bare leg season in that city?). Summery colors and prints are a fun way to brighten up your dismal winter wardrobe, so I try to find ways to layer under and over my sleeveless dresses so I can wear them year-round ...

Anthropologie dropped a cute little email in my inbox that showed ways to style one of their simple cotton summer tank dresses for colder temps. I'm not sure if I'm into the coat layered over coat look (winter), but I love the styling of the different styles of boots!

The ankle socks are one of my favorite looks for Fall...

beautiful floral mixed media bags

Zowie Zinnia Tote for $128

I love when tulips and daffodils start to bloom and I find designs that have the distinctly fresh breezy feel of springtime...

I just discovered some beautiful mixed media handbags at Anthropologie that have a wonderful light spring feel with soft leather straps and pastel-hued floral fabrics. I also like that the totes have my favorite spring handbag trend: cross-body straps!
