Starts with summer brights and mixed patterns...

There's nothing quite like long weekends in the summer. This lovely purple bag was a recent purchase during a business trip and quick stop into Nordstrom. I'm loving how it brings out the flowers in the patterned shorts. 



These snake-print pointed flats keep the look from being too casual (and my first attempt at mixing patterns!)



Hope however you spent it, you had a lovely weekend as well!

Starts with a blue peplum dress...

Happy wedding day! Not mine, silly - my cousin's wedding! This floaty peplum dress was the perfect dress for the hot summer night. 



My J.Crew "Brulee" necklace has been one of my favourite pieces so far. A few months ago, Kelly Ripa was wearing hers almost daily on her show, and I just couldn't stop thinking about it until I got my own! 



My shoes were truly the "ones that got away" a year ago. I was in Las Vegas and was shopping for shoes for my own wedding. I had seen these and decided to wait, only to have missed my chance to get them! One year later, it was truly good fortune that I found them at Saks, and on sale no less! Nothing like a happy ending!


Nothing like a happy ending....have a lovely weekend!
