Leather Me Up

I have been drooling over leather shorts for almost a year now, and I found the ultimate pair I want to own by Vince. I even tried them on, and I have to say... they don't look too bad (actually I think they are amazing). So, now I just have to decide if I'm willing to spend a big penny on them... maybe I will make it my congratulatory present to myself for graduating and getting a job :)

Polka Dotty

Polka dots... For some reason I am drawn to everything with polka dots. I walked into Madewell today and realized everything I pulled had some sort of dotted pattern on it. Not sure why the sudden style choice, but I must say, I like it. Here are a few pieces from Madewell:

Turning The Tassel

The time has finally come... I graduated from college!! So, while absent for a week... I was busy getting a diploma :) The weekend was filled with 3 generations of family, lots of celebrating, a few tears, and many smiles as I walked across the stage and was handed my diploma. Of course, my graduation dress was a big deal... I decided on a very summery, floral Lily Pulitzer dress and some nude pumps. Even though the lovely blue bag of a gown covered it for some of the day, I made sure I had a few moments to show off my Lily. 

Walking With The Animals

Hello New York City... Oh, how I have missed you. While walking from 88th and Madison to Times Square today, I was thankful I had some comfy shoes on... and of course they were leopard. Who knew Keds could be so trendy?? These animals kept me smiling as I walked and shopped the whole upper East side. Thank you, Keds.

These are from Journey's, but you can find a similar pair at zappos.com

kate spade simplicity

kate spade can never go wrong... beauty and simplicity at its finest. I am very picky about bangles, but I love these "Spade Hinge Bangles." I would start with the simple gold one and add the black & light pink later. They could easily be worn separately as a staple every day piece, or all together for something more fun.

A Little Sass

    

Finally, a pair of leather shorts I think I can actually invest in!! I know they are a fashion risk to some, but they are definitely necessary. I mean who doesn't want a little sass in their wardrobe?? IRO's leather shorts (above) have a touch of a femininity that sets them apart from the average edgy leather. The pleats, semi high waist, and wider leg make the leather more acceptable as an addition to my closet.
