Even if she wasn't a native Kentuckian (and Wildcat), I'd still adore the modern vintage feel of Library by Lauren Lail.  With a stunning collection of vintage finds (see HERE), luckily for us, Lauren has taken that love of vintage a step further and created her own Line of modern pieces complemented with a unique vintage feel.  Make sure you check it--I've got a few other pieces from Library that are currently in heavy rotation--very sweet and special pieces all the way around!  Alright gang, make it a good one..I've got a sick bunny I've got to run to the doc so I've gotta dip!  Cheers to a wonderful Wednesday!

Feminine Camo

blouse (J.Crew 20% off), pants (GAP no longer avail, LOVE THESE & THESE), shoes (DVF), belt (Banana), tote (Kooba--obsessed with THIS), bracelets (Stella & Dot, J.Crew), watch (Cartier), ring (Anna Beck)

Can I just tell you how many times I've worn my camo jeans (see similar HERE)?  And the best part, I've paired them with different tops each time.  You all know I've done the Gingham look, I've paired it with a pale pink striped blouse & flats, a navy & white striped tee and chucks, a chunky cable knit sweater & ankle booties--pairings for days!  I have to say; however, this girly take on camo may be my favorite yet.  I'm loving the juxtaposition of girly vs tomboy.  If you've sported the camo, would love to know how you're styling them.  Y'all make it a good one!

PS--The Shelf  (new items added) & the Pomegranate Tote Giveaways end this evening---Thanks to all who have entered thus far!

Keeping it light & fresh while enduring this unruly HeatWave!  Look, the reality of this hot situation is it ain't all that and a bag of tricks trying to look and feel good in this scorching heat.  If you're a fellow layer lover like myself, these summer months prove to be a bit challenging.  Enter...the VEST.  She's versatile, she adds depth to your rig, and more importantly, she's Sleeveless!  Not to mention, she stands the test of seasonal time--remember April Showers?  Needless to say, I put this garment to use throughout the year!

  A big Congrats goes to.....Janie Walker--you're the proud new owner of some fun summer goodies!  An Enormous & Sincere THANK YOU to all who participated in our July Giveaway--can't wait for next month's treat!

Cheers to a fun and safe 4th with your friends and family...Make it a good one, gang!
