chelsea’s style

meet my friend chelsea!  she’s the co-founder of no subject and girl behind all of the above blog- she inspires me in so many ways!  she also has amazing personal style and is basically living in one of my dream homes- full of spanish architectural details, brass, amazing vintage furniture finds and all sorts of other fantastic girliness that makes my heart pitter patter.  i’m going to help her learn a bit more about her camera so she can take photos as she decorates this little jem of a home for her blog…can’t wait to see what she dreams up!

chelsea is also a girl who knows how to accesorize!  i’m loving her stacks of rings, totally planning on working that into my wardrobe.  and her graphic sundress from urban outfitters looks so comfortable, easy and stylish without trying: exactly the kind of dress i live in during the summer. { a few graphic maxi dresses i’m loving right now: 1. 2. 3. 4. }

{and yes, that is a new DOMINO magazine she’s reading! i think there was a collective squeal from the internet the day that came out…}

vacation style

i’ve been fantasizing about a european honeymoon lately (we’re hoping to squeeze one in this year if we can!)  this dress, scarf and shoes would be my perfect travel outfit. i’d wear it on the plane (with a big pair of knee high socks in my bag for when the air conditioning got to be too much and i’d wear it for a day walking around a city and exploring. these shoes are the best for that: the perfect marriage of cute and comfortable! and i pretty much never travel without a scarf to wrap around me on an airplane. do you have any must-have travel wear?

pastels and polka dots

well hello friends!  lately i’ve been inspired by guy style. i’ve been envying their ties and bow ties, buttoned up oxfords, casually rolled pants and boat shoes. finding a way to incorporate some of that into my own closet has been fun! and of course i added some polka dots and pastels, you can’t go wrong with either this spring.  have a great weekend, i hope it’s sunny and relaxing wherever you may be!

you know how every once in awhile you stumble across something in a store or online and feel like it was made just for you? that’s what happened with me and this marc jacobs scarf. it felt like christmas when it came in the mail today and you can bet your cute butt it will be wrapped around my happy neck for a long, long time.  and that sweet iphone case, made my my gal pals over at ban.do, in case you’re interested.  i feel like a bazillion bucks all decked out in pretty! {photo from my instagram : sarahyates }
