joining the tribe

If you can't go on vacation, you might as well dress like you did! Anyone else finding themselves drawn to accessories that look like they were picked up from the tail end of a trip to Mexico?

The trend hits accessories in every price point, from Tory Burch's oversized necklaces...

To Forever 21's cheap-but-graphic bangles

And who can resist a [bit pricy] friendship bracelet?

My jaw actually dropped when I saw this AMAZING Cynthia Vincent purse!

I'm always thrifting for the perfect pair of huarache sandals.

Or you could go big with these whipstitched Proenza Schouler wedges [on sale]!

What do you guys like? Wish I'd gotten those tribal sandals from H&M a few weeks back!

the pants say it all

"i want a raise"

"i'm supposed to be studying"

"i'm over him"

monday funday: peekaboo!

I have a new addiction brewing after stumbling across Trendy Crew last night [eek!], but what I really wanted to talk about is a new trend I've been eyeing. The beginning of summer is prompting lots of playful peekaboos. I see it as an evolution of the playful bare/not-bare sock/stocking trend:

It's actually something I started to think about a few weeks ago when I saw this photo on Chictopia:

And the evidence is quickly mounting...

I particularly like the mesh bottom of the skirt, or the long-sleeved T under a blazer--what a way to sneak in some almost-too-naughty-peeks at work!
