DRESS STALKING 101

I stalked this dress for so long and so hard it probably should have taken out a restraining order.  And when Shopbop had their most recent sale i snapped it up in a hot second at a huge discount. Lesson: stalking is totally ok when it involves expensive dresses and getting them for half off.  And, while we’re on the topic of awesome, can we chat about my bracelet and ring?  Samantha Wills you slay me.  xx- Sarah {more after the jump}

faux leather shorts + yumi kim blouse

please don’t think i’m weird (or crazy) but when i was researching a vegan leather short option for this post i found these shorts and i knew immediately that life wouldn’t, couldn’t be the same without them.  so now i own two pairs of leather shorts.  which is totally normal because like i said last time, LEATHER SHORTS ARE THE NEW DENIM SHORTS!  but note: they are no where near as shiny as they appear in these photos.  thank you bebe! on a completely unrelated topic, there’s this blouse.  i’m new to designer yumi kim but i’m a fast fan!  she’s got a way with color and prints, but best of all her blouses fit amazing.  blousy without being SO blousy.  you get me here, right?  xx- sarah  (more after the jump)

YIKES, STRIPES!

when packing for our east coast trip i was compelled to fill my suitcase with striped shirts, boat shoes, crisp white blouses and fisherman sweaters to tie around my shoulders.  if only we were destined for a yaght!  but alas, we’ll be lucky if we make it to a beach and this is about as sporty looking as i’ll get.  whatever, i’ll take it! #stripesforlife xx- sarah

BELLS AND YUMI KIM

i don’t care the reason or the season, high waisted bells are my jam.  and i love them paired with a floral blouse and floppy hat.  a touch of the 70’s vibe i love with a more modern feel.  groovy, no?  xx- sarah {more after the jump}

POLKA DOTS, RED LIPS AND DISTRESSED JEANS

i’ve decided that this shirt can do no wrong.  and i’m pretty sure i can pair it with almost anything in my closet.  i love a versatile blouse, don’t you?  so easy to throw on and go, effortless style.  that wins.  it wins every time. happy wednesday friends!  xx- sarah
