Pastel Party

I found this dress at Zara last year for all of $20-- I wasn't sure about the cut but hey, for that price? It'd be crazy not too! Even though its tweed, its been a great layering piece for pretty much any season, plus, I'm a sucker for anything with gold studs (obviously!)

Time for the Tropics

No, I'm not on my way to an island getaway that I somehow forgot to mention (I wish), but I am loving the tropical print on my skirt. After seeing palm prints everywhere this season, I was on a mission to make it my own, just at a much more reasonable price point.

Now I could have scoured the internet and stores alike for hours on end (as if I haven't done that before), but instead went straight to ebay. I can't even list all of the amazing finds I've scored on there, from vintage rings to new with tags Tibi! This little number popped right up-- Ann Taylor of all places and under $10! Done and done.

Hopefully it will help tide me over until I DO finally go on the tropical vacation of my dreams...

Bracelets: Oia Jules, J. Crew 

Necklaces: Max & Chloe, Zodiac charm {gift}

Heels: Pour La Victoire

A Perfect Pair: Camo + Leather

I have a slight obsession with Equipment blouses, and by slight, I obviously mean HUGE. When I want to look put together but not like I'm trying too hard, they never fail. Their fabrics and prints are fantastic, like this one and the floral I wore here. I'm currently crushing on this heart print and the amazing cut-outs on this one. Speaking of cut-outs, I have their Nixie blouse in nude but seriously need it in black--I love pairing it with leather shorts. Don't even get me started on the fact that they now make sweaters...
