Through the Looking Glass

  (Dress- Threadsence maxi skirt, necklace- Painted Bird)
I love finding pieces that can be transformed into something new.  
I was lounging around in this maxi skirt all day, and needless to say feeling more than a little frumpy. When Sam suggested we pop outside for an afternoon drink, I was hesitant to interrupt my laziness, but Sam was relentless. Finally  I pulled off my top, pulled up the skirt, knotted it, and was out the door. It was the fastest he's ever seen me get dressed.

Summer Resort

 A few of my favorites from the Ruche Summer Resort lookbook I helped style.
I want to stress the "helped style" part, our stylist did most of the work.

Also check out my DIY for these colorful bracelets over on the Ruche blog.

Sam and I spent a lazy Sunday wandering around the botanical gardens at Huntington Library. After hours of walking, my new mesh Miista booties proved to be the sensible summer shoe I've been looking for.  I like the way they pair with fluttery dresses and dress down pouffy mini skirts, while managing to not kill my feet. All signs point to the makings of a great shoe.

P.S. Please vote for me for the Most Coveted Closet in the Polyvore awards by creating a set inspired by one of my looks. Thank you, your vote means a lot to me.

Did you know you could win a Chanel bag just for voting? Yup, get on it!
