Rainbow party

Every time I wear this gorgeous Baublebar x Atlantic Pacific beauty I just feel happier. Between the sparkles and the rainbow of colors, its just perfect! Blair and Baublebar can just do no wrong...

Dress: Zara {try this, this or this}


Nail Polish: Zoya 'Sooki'

Necklace: Baublebar x Atlantic Pacific 'Rainbow Starlite Bib' {sold out but try this or this}

Sunglasses: Asos 

Sandals: Pour la Victoire {these were the closest I could find...}

Splurge Vs. Steal: Gladiator Sandals

As usual, once I spotted Blair Eadie wearing something I immediately wanted it-- this time it was the Stuart Weitzman Gladiators...I mean how stunning is this look?

I could immediately imagine myself wearing them with everything from shorts to midi skirts...but did I have almost $400.00 to spend on sandals? Well, if I did I wouldn't be writing this post {or I'd be writing it from the comfort of my home in the Caribbean!}

So I did what I always did and proceeded to spend hours online trying to find something that would have the same feel, and while they are of course not AS amazing, they will do till I can afford the real thing.

Can you tell which is the splurge and which is the steal?

Ok, so the Stuart Weitzman's are on the left, but hey, these ones by Wanted aren't bad for $80! I ordered them and certainly like them, though don't have as close a fit as the SW's {since they aren't fully stretchy.}

Fancy Friday

Not that I don't adore every one of Blair's outfits as it is, but given the fact that I have worn all black 90% of the week, I thought this was extra appropriate. Maxi skirts/dresses are one of those things that I love, however rarely wear since I don't have a driver to prevent my hems from getting ruined. 

I pretty much end up stocking up fancy ballgown-y skirts...and then wearing them in my apartment on the weekend with a glass of wine. Fun, but not exactly 'practical.' Seeing this look though makes me want to run out and go by every full length skirt and gown that I can find...

No exotic plans for the weekend {yet} and given that I found an amazing pair of black satin pajamas last weekend, I plan on spending a lot of time fancily lazing around. Of course, whenever I say its a weekend of staying in the opposite usually happens {just like when I say I won't shop...} so we shall see!

Whether you're staying in or going out, enjoy the weekend!

Fancy Friday

You know how there are just some people who, no matter what, always just seem to look stunning and perfectly dressed? These are the same people who can make even leather overalls seem slightly not crazy {though I'm still not on board.} Blair Eadie just kills it every single time. I can't think of one look that I haven't immediately wanted to run out and try. I could go on and on, but by now, the secret is long out and I am just one of many many many other girls who love her looks.

That being said, this combines some of my absolute favorites-- black, black and white stripes, 'Sex and the City' and of course TULLE. My full skirt obsession knows no bounds {other than my wallet.} Plus, I do love the thrill of the chase...its good to have goals right?

So its Friday, next week is a super short week, and its about 50 degrees. If that isn't enough to put a smile on your face than I don't know what will!

Have a great weekend!

Black, White, and Striped All Over

//1//

I love stripes in any color or style, but my favorite has got to be the classic black and white stripe. Do I owe this love to my repeated viewings of "Beetlejuice" growing up? Perhaps, but regardless of when or how it started, I've never looked back. If you need further proof of my obsession, just check out my Jailbird post from this week.

Whether its head to toe, or just a piece, I'm definitely not the only one who's got stripes on the brain!
