ROAD TRIP

 

 

 

Happy Friday, AC fans! Tomorrow we are leaving for Colorado… yep that is 16 hours in the car with my husband and two dogs (and their rather strong smelling dog food). Don’t get me wrong, I love my family and Colorado, but the driving part is not my favorite (especially through the desolate TX panhandle). So to make the trip tolerable pleasant, I need all my travel essentials....

 

• Entertainment…...the past two years we have started listening to audio books. Since I get car sick when reading, this is the perfect way to pass the time.  I also make sure my iPod is updated with all my favorites (Michael Kiwanuka and The Sheepdogs are currently on heavy rotation).

• Skin... Does your skin act up when you travel? Whether it’s by plane, train, or automobile, my skin is always worse upon arriving to my destination than when I left home. I have learned to clean my skin every few hours with Simple cleansing wipes and keep it hydrated with Mario Badescu facial spray throughout the day. Also drinking tons of water is a huge part of it.

• Uniform... I ALWAYS travel with a scarf (love this color block scarf and this circle scarf). It can double as a blanket, towel (in emergencies) and pillow. Or if my hair starts to get a little crazy, I just tie it around my head. I know my favorite models always look beyond chic when traveling, but I tend to stick to comfy jeans and t-shirt (favorites are here and here).

 

Have a great weekend and safe travels if you are heading somewhere fun for the holiday. Don't forget to subscribe to the blog so you can stay in the loop! XO

Need a little red, white and blue inspiration? Here are some of my favorite pieces for 4th of July. I have been eyeing what I like to call ”grown up jelly sandals” by Givenchy for a while now. They’re rubber (aka they can withstand any music festival, trip to the lake, spilt beer at the baseball game throughout the summer) and are the perfect shade of blue. The star stud earrings are a great accessory that will keep you looking chic and patriotic from the lake to a backyard BBQ.

ZARA SALE

 

Printed Clutch

 

Confession- A large amount of my closet is Zara.  Their pieces are always on trend and on budget… what more could you want!   Their blazers are so well constructed and their shoes always look straight off the runway. Even better… almost everything is on sale right now! Get to your nearest Zara or on-line store (my weakness) and scoop up these great pieces before they are gone.

IN THE CLEARING

I thought I was a little over the whole Gatsby craze until Vogue posted these breathtaking pictures of Hamish Bowels’ birthday party last weekend.  These images perfectly capture 1920s glamour.  To celebrate the International Editor at Large’s twenty-first year at Vogue and his fiftieth birthday, his high fashion pals attended an extravagant dinner party in rural Long Island underneath a lovely striped tent.  The guest of honor showed up perfectly dressed in a tailored pink suit.  The dresses, the romantaic tablescape, the quaint clearing in the woods... How heavenly!

 

 

MONDAY MUSING: KATE BECKINSALE

 

 

I loved Kate Beckinsale’s print-on-print look at the TCM Classic Film Festival, and now it is on sale!  It looks so nice paired together, but I would love to sport the pieces by themselves.  The blazer would look great combined with white jeans, and the silk pants would be perfect with a tank top and sandals for a casual dinner.  The optic print is fun without being an overload, and the color blocking accent on the back of the pant and jacket gives it a sophisticated edge.  These pieces are a great look, day or night!

On Kate:

Parker  Parlor Silk Jacket

Parker  Parlor Silk Pants

Christian Louboutin Patent Leather Decolette Shoe

Style with DVF Reptile Print Clutch , AC dainty snake bracelet, AC drop link earrings.

When the temperature rises (and you get a little bronzer and blonder), it’s natural to reach for your brightest and breeziest pieces. I am really coveting everything from Lem Lem right now… It is so light and just the perfect pop of color. Also, head over to Calypso if you need to update your tunic collection and take advantage of their $50 off promotion (see coupon code below).

ALL THE PRETTY HORSES

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let me start by saying that I have a major style crush on Dree Hemmingway.  She has the “I just rolled out of bed and might or might not have brushed my hair, but I look way better than you” style down to a tee… and she’s gorgeous… and she is Ernest Hemingway’s granddaughter…yep, bona fide style crush.  I especially loved her denim for days look she sported at this year’s Vueve Clicquot Polo Classic (she also killed it last year in her white lace dress and NY Yankees ball cap). Not only does she look great, but how fun does a star-studded polo match in NYC sound?  Champagne and sundresses- count me in! Paired with round sunnies and great mirrored wedges, this look screams summer time.  I cannot wait to rock my head to toe denim look…Maybe I will even score a ticket to next year’s Polo Classic (fingers crossed).

white Zara vest // AC statement necklace // Persol sunglasses //black leather shorts // AC black & gold clutch // AC cross ring // AC bangles // Christian Louboutin shoes

There is something reassuring about a simple black + white outfit. In a closet full of floral, neon, stripes, studs etc... It's nice to start with a clean slate. There are endless possibilities to personalizing this monochrome look. I tend to style it with one statement piece accompanied by understated accessories. Take this look 60's mod with bold and graphic prints or keep it clean and sophisticated with color blocking.
