this white vest, next to my 3 zara skorts is my favorite piece this spring/summer. i highly recommend this piece to change up any look. it gave this otherwise super casual outfit of a ribbed tank and cut-off shorts a very chic look and i can’t wait to pair it with flowy florals.

zara top, shorts, bag & heels, le specs sunglasses

it was so nice in the city this past sunday.  i hung out with ryan on maiden lane where i always wanted to shoot.  the weather was so nice, perfect for shorts but in spite of having to dodge the daytime drinkers that st. patty's day brought out there, ryan captured such great pictures.  he captured exactly what i was envisioning for this shoot.  i can't wait to do another shoot with him soon.  

crossover.

zara top, vintage levi's cutoffs, old bcbg clutch and dolce vita booties

really really loving this top and was browsing zara online again and found a plaid one i think i also need now too.  i want to wear this combo of cutoffs + blouse + peeptoe booties everyday.  reminds me so much of iro ss'13.    

is it spring yet?

old zara blouse (this is on my wishlist & this is a must-have), vintage levi's cutoffs (looove these & these), h&m hat (love this one) & sam edelman petty boots

sorry for the iphone pic.  hopefully this should be my last in a while.  can't wait for spring to be here already so i can be in outfits like these everyday.  i already have a couple of cream blouses arriving to add to the line-up and i've been taking inventory of all my cut-offs so i make sure to give each one some love.  the links above should give you an idea of what's to come! 

so necessary.

zara linen tee (great ones here), old earnest sewn jeans w/ ankle zip (love these) old jeffrey campbell sandals (similar here)

all pieces in heavy rotation lately all together in one look.  zara linen tees are my favorite because they don't pill and the fit is always right.  these jeans are one of the oldest pairs i've kept and are from '05 maybe '06.  so glad i held on to them.  sad story but i had a lot of ankle zip jeans from then that i either got rid of or cropped.  and these shoes, also old are one of the few jeffrey campbell's that survived in my closet.  i'm not trendy or edgy enough to keep up with jc anymore.  these are pretty tame and basic.  they look good with everything.         

cut it out.

cutout trim shorts c/o beginning boutique, zara top & dv jameson booties

i got these adorable shorts from beginning boutique about 2 months ago now?  can't believe it took me that long to wear them but for sure i'll be wearing them a lot as soon as the weather becomes stable.  right now i'm loving the simplest thin bangle with my watch as my everyday 'armcandy'.  i dream of this cartier...ughh...     

striped & sweet.

Beale dress c/o Dolce Vita, zara shoes, vintage clutch, h&m sunnies

how sweet is this dress?  the stripes, patch pockets and the shape of this dress make it the cutest thing ever.  i love it without the belt but i really couldn't resist the a-line shape it gives.  sweet silhouettes always make me happy :)

there's beautiful weather ahead of us and i have so much to share!  i have had to hold back because of the weather.  while so, i joined a new site, copious, kind of like ebay but so much better.  you can link it to all your social media outlets and based on them, you are recommended who to follower.  there are a lot of bloggers selling too.  check out my account here.

in my perfect world.

  what better time to lay in the meadow among little daisies than while wearing my daisy crochet top?  which i got from a website that carries a lot of designer inspired items.  i really recommend them, their prices are really good.  i also have a coupon code for my readers - APR20 for 20% off until may 30!  it was really hard to choose just one. 

 in my perfect world, i would have driven to the meadow to do so in this vintage mercedes, my dream car with my dream Cartier watch (any one of those really!).   

concrete garden.

whole outfit from zara, four strand bracelet c/o maya brenner, dolce vita shoes that i won(!), vintage clutch

such the perfect day to wear my favorite outfit of the moment.  everything that i'm loving that i will probably get myself tired of soon; floral blouses, open-knit sweaters and high waist a-line shorts.  i aimlessly drove around today and ended up at one of my favorite spots to shoot, these art studios in my town. the people that live there always welcome my brother and i.  and they always change up their alleys/yards/gardens/porches, so different scenery every time.
