Sporty Mara

dress (Mara Hoffman, Morton James, love this SALE Version), sneaks (Converse), bag (Rebecca Minkoff), bracelets (Morton James Cuff, jcrew, sylvia benson), rings (Lagos, Anna Beck), shades (Gucci)

Loved Mara Hoffman for quite a bit now (see Exhibit A), everything from her Swimsuits to her vibrant Frocks, she strikes the perfect balance of fun and flirty.  And while I love a healthy dose of flirty, I feel inclined to tone it down a notch with, surprise surprise, a good pair of Sneaks.  Not to say this number from Morton James wouldn't be perfect with some Gladiators, but personally, I feel more in my skin with the Chucks.  And after all, it's about finding what works best for you, and your style, don't you think?  

Alright gang, I've got my mom flying in from Florida this morning and I cannot WAIT--missing her something fierce!  Y'all have a wonderful weekend and shop some other Mara's below (some good sales on some of her pieces)!  Make it a good one!

The Garden Variety

dress (Tory Burch, AJs Casuals c/o, available online HERE), bag (Rebecca Minkoff ON SALE), ballets (DVF, see similar HERE), cuff (Similar), rings (Lagos, Gili), shades (Banana Republic c/o, love THESE)

I just adore this Tory Burch dress from AJs Casuals.  Light and airy with feminine details and a flattering shape, it is a lovely addition to the summer wardrobe.  And while I kept it girly with a pair of  ballets...you all have to know I was actually wanting to pair it with some Baby Blue Sneaks--next go around for sure!  

Alright gang..y'all have a great Wednesday.  Some adorable TB's shown below and be sure to stay tuned for some of my picks from the infamous Nordstrom Anniversary Sale--sucker is gonna be good.

Pattern Play

shorts (Library by Lauren Lail c/o), tshirt & belt (J.Crew), crossbody (Rebecca Minkoff), flats (DVF), watch (Cartier), bracelets (J.Crew & Linea Pelle), ring (Anna Beck & Lagos), shades (Ray Ban)

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!
