Lookbook

Seriously the only bottoms I want to wear all summer long are shorts.  I have become obsessed.  I think they look amazing dressed up with a blazer or dressed down with some chill flats.  I love love love this look by Cameron Diaz- so summery with its light color palette, stunning platform shoes and oooh, no over the top accessorizing- lovez it! Shorts- Delia's $30 Blazer- Asos $67 Platforms- Endless $93

Yeah ok so I have not yet jumped onboard the silky cropped pants trend train yet but I just might do it... eventually.  I would rock the black ones as I do not think I have the legs for its lighter colored counterparts.  These silky cropped pants look great paired with some sky high heels, a light flowy top and for some reason-  a nice oversized clutch.  Happy shopping! Cheap- Alloy $20 Steep- Marc Jacobs at My Theresa $620

1) Bluefly $264 2) Tory Burch $448 3) Asos $380 4) Singer 22 $255

I have been on a mission for a yellow strapless dress since once of my closest friends announced she was getting married a year ago.  It was my choice of style and color for what would be a very special occasion. Bah- I failed terribly on this fashion mission. I could never seem to find the right shade, style or price point so I ended up wearing a nice purple strapless number.  Regardless, this dress is still on my mind and I found a few options whilst browsing the interweb- I may just purchase my one 'em.  Enjoy! 1) Target $15 2) Asos $127 3) Shop Bop $342 4) Windsor $65

I really love this look- the heaviness of a solid boot paired with a mini dresss.  You can get away with uber short dresses if you pair them with similar chunky shoes.  This look would not have worked as well f Cameron would have worn, say, some sky high stiletto heels. 1) Dress- Asos $50 2) Dress- Fred Flare $84 3) Dress- Asos $17  4) Booties- DSW $70

I think this works- I like how Rachel pairs the ultra feminine girly chiffon dress with a tough pair of leggings. This outfit is all about balance and Rachel has achieved it only in true Rachel manner. 1) Couture Candy $93 2) Leather leggings $70

So yah- I am feeling this stuffed pumps situation.  They convey that urban rock chic without having to get a tattoo or anything.  Love it.

I have to commend Jennifer here- she looks stunning.  I did a double take when I caught a glimpse of her in this outfit.  All the pieces just work so well together. 1) Tank- Newport News $30 2) Blazer- Bluefly $95 3) Peep Toe Booties- Endless $80

There is something about one shoulder dresses that makes my heart go pitter patter.  I don't know if it is because I am sick of their strapless counterparts that are just oh so very 2008, leaving little to the imagination.  Or maybe it is because the one shoulder just gives off that greek goddess in a toga vibe that I am definitely feeling these days.  Whatever it is, it works.  I just need to limit myself to maybe 2...ok max 3 and that's it, I promise.  In any case, there are a few cheap vs steep versions below for your viewing pleasure.  Enjoy! 1)Torn by Ronny Kobo   Shop Bop $264 2) Riller and Fount-  Shop Bop $163 3) Alice + Olivia Shop Bop $264 4) Forever 21 $30 5) Asos $43 6) Asos $43

1) Cut off shorts Pac Sun $43 2) Tweed Jacket Talbots $170 3) T Shirt Top Shop $50 4) Necklace Tilly's $8 5) Pumps Steve Madden at Endless $ 100 What an interesting look- not something you see every day which is why I felt the need to book it.  I am really loving how Beyonce picked the ladylike tweed jacket to pair the cut off shorts with when she could have easily opted for the boyfriend blazer or even the "let's emphasize the fact that shoulder pads or even shoulders for that matter are in" blazer.  Kudos to Beyonce- the pink is refreshing, the layered necklaces are not over the top and the cut off shorts cut off just right and show off those killer legs of hers. Awesome.
