to DO or to DON'T: White Blazer Edition

White blazers, I must admit, kinda scare me.  I really don't sport blazers or anything menswear inspired.  I'm quite petite and blazers tend to look a bit off on me.  But these white jackets have me intrigued.  I think I heart it.  I think it's a to DO!!!

Anne Hathaway looks so funky and chic (don't even get me started on her sunnies!).  The Elvis rocker tee definitely makes this look fun.  Her tuxedo blazer is by Balmain.

And this gal looks rhetts for a day out in the city.   Loving the pops of purple.  Does she have a hang nail? I don't know.  This breezy blaze is from Forever 21. 

She's cute in a kind of messy way.  I think she smokes cigarettes and talks trash a lot. 

Very girly and well accessorized.  This is one of my faves.  The textured dress and the chunky jewels contrast nicely.  

I have everything in this outfit minus the blazin' blazer.  You could even swap out the black skinny pants for some dark denim and add some bright shoes for a little more punch.  She looks ready for a martini. 

YAY!  Love this to pieces.  Maybe it's partly my current obsession with neon, but this girl looks comfortable and different and totally herself.  H&M blazer

Sunglasses I'm currently coveting...

If you know me well, then you know that I love (LOVE!) me some sunny sunglasses.  I have a mini-collection.  It's no Rachel Zoe fill-your-entire-closet-full-kinda-collection by any means, but I do indulge in nice shades from time to time. Nice sunglasses are like nice shoes....they go with everything, they feel heavy and expensive, and they make you invisible to mean people & bad days when you slip them on.

These geometric block Dita Eyewear sunnies make me giggle and twirl.  Gwennie rocked them. Why can't I?  Hmm, maybe because I just bought some dark and sultry Elizabeth & James frames and my wallet says, "sorry babe."

Maybe next month.

Neons

It seems everywhere I look lately I'm seeing a neon color palette.  Personally, I can't pull off neon yellow pants, but I do love some of the other options....like the Jason Wu messenger bag.  And the blinding platforms? Pretty amazing. However, the McQueen pinkies are my favorite.  I need those in my closet for those days when you just feel spunky and need to kick some A.

Channeling Z. Deschanel

I have a little girl crush on Zooey Deschanel.  Her wardrobe on the show New Girl makes me smile and want to go shopping immediately.  Her looks are always interesting, fresh and modern, but also seem charmingly vintage.  Of course the fact that her character is a total quirky, eccentric, fun girl who sings her thoughts and can't say the word 'penis' adds even more adorableness.

Muddle mint and a cucumber slice in a cocktail shaker. Add other ingredients and ice. Shake and strain into a chilled martini glass, and garnish with a slice of cucumber and a fresh mint sprig.  OMG, hurrrrrr up 5 o' clock!  

Tom Ford Sunglasses

I wish these sunnys were accompanying me on my trip this weekend. Add a vintage convertible, a headscarf and a BFF and I'd never come back.  

I heart Francoise Hardy....her music, her bangs, her striped tee.  Yes yes and yes.  

Cute cartoon...Be Yourself:)

Kisses and Happy Friday!!!!!
