Fancy Friday

{Atlantic-Pacific}

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!

...Is summer truly almost over?

It feels like only yesterday I was wearing a short little DVF dress out on the town...Ok, it was just last week but you get my point. The seasons change every year, yet every year I am miraculously still baffled by how to dress. Trying to get ahead of the game and adjust accordingly, as opposed to just buying more.

I got this red maxi on the last trip out to San Francisco with the family. I was on a mission to buy a red maxi, and finally found the perfect one! No clue why I was convinced that I simply must own a red maxi, but I'm sure I had my reasons. Even if SF didn't feel like a second home, I'd go purely for the fantastic shopping...So I guess you could say I left my heart (and my wallet) in San Francisco!

I Want What She's Wearing

{Rachel Zoe}

I think its safe to say that we threw away that antiquated "no white after Labor Day" rule ages ago. If there were any doubt left that white doesn't work when the temperatures drop, Rachel Zoe erases all signs of it with this look.

Not only is the all white incredibly crisp and fresh, the minimalist take on it ups the fashion ante way more than stacks of accessories would. Its a perfect palate cleanser from the heaviness of the season.

While she is of course wearing head to toe Rachel Zoe, where is the fun in that? No matter how much I love a designer, its very rare that I like to wear them head to toe.

You can mix and match them any way you choose, and they range in price from "I can't believe its less than a night out" to "Wow I have to sell my car."
