Modern Audrey

I love classics, be it pieces or Icons. So when the two combine? I’m all in. I love the feel of this vintage opera coat-the way it swings, the sleeves, the color. And paired with black pants, flats and a bun-I can’t help but feel a little like Audrey myself. It’s a perfect combination for lunch, dinner, or just a day–it feels put together and yet really fun. And isn’t that the best part of classic Icons?

Happy Friday! XO RA

#Limited

Any time there is a “limited” edition of something you know can either go two ways’ it can either be simply amazing, or it can be the opposite. So when I got the news that Reformmation was doing a limited edition run with certain fabrics? I was cautiously optimistic. However, I was also completely rewarded–which should come as no surprise as Reformation is one of my go-to brands. And this skirt! Almost Gucci-like, silky smooth, adjustable, and just perfect for the end of summer, but able to make the transition into fall! I can’t get enough of it!

How I plan on rocking it this fall (sorry Kittens, it’s 105, I can’t get into a sweater):

This is a limited skirt (which comes in more than one color, I also love the dress!) that you should get on!

Summer Sequins

I love summer, I love sequins, and any combination of the two is a win in my book. It’s simple skirt isn’t so simple. It’s white. It’s gold. Move the sequins and it’s a combo. And it’s perfect for late summer bbqs. It only needs a white tank–and yes, you could dress it up. And while I love these ADetacher shoes, this would go just as great with flats. It’s summer sequin perfection!

As you know, suits are big for fall. (Need a refresher on fall trends? Got you covered here) I love suits and am in to suit up for fall–they are easy, classic, fun and I love the possibilities! From simple to extravagant, day to night, there’s a suit out there for everyone. This HM variety is perfect for nights out, but I love that it’s subtle enough to wear doing the day. What about you? Are you ready to suit up?

Stairway to Vintage

I was lucky enough to visit my alma mater last week–and even luckier that the new library has these amazing steps! Even more perfect: this vintage stunner on the steps. (And loves, this dress has pockets!) I just love it–the scenery, the fact that this dress needs nothing other than an occasion, and the fact that I got to shoot this where I used to study hard! Hope that little things like this are bringing you joy!

We know that I’m a lover of all things vintage and all things party. So the perfect 1960s hostess outfit that’s perfect for a summer garden party? YES PLEASE! I don’t think these pictures do the colors justice–gold, pink, orange–it’s like a desert of summer. The set is by Amen Wardy and not only do I love the skirt and little jacket together, I love that I can wear them separately! It’s Friday! Let’s party!

#Awesome

As we inch towards fall, and I begin to shop for fall, I can’t help but start to wear my new things now. Yes, this cheeky jacket will look great over jeans,sweaters, dresses, skirts, and with boots in the fall. But it makes me smile now. So I can’t help but wear it as a dress! Great with heels for a more sophisticated look. Sneakers for a coffee run. Compliments both times! It would also be great over shorts–but if we’re going somewhere, let’s go all the way. It fit perfectly as a dress, and I love that the back message makes it stand out, while maintaining some classic vibes. It’s just Awesome! (Sorry, too easy!)

Power Red

There’s a belief that your outfit can influence your mood. I am a firm believer and don’t know how you can have a bad day when you’re wearing red-especially power red. I love the hemline of this dress, and while I normally wear it with heels and a bit more formally, I love that a belt and flats make it a bit more casual. And yes, it transitions to fall. There’s a lot of power in that, right?
