Wishful Wednesday: Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Although the thought of the approaching fall is nauseating at this point in the summer, I am leaping with joy because in preparation for the upcoming season is NORDSTROM'S ANNIVERSARY SALE! Here are my faves from this year's collection...

1. The cutest and coziest Burberry square scarf 

2. A luscious golden lacquer from Dior's Coulour Icons

3. I don't care if it's a sunny 100 degrees, I would wear these 'Abby' cutout booties by Joe's every day

4. A lovely lace-hemmed slip for those extra-scoop-of-ice-cream days

5. Michael Kors' 'Blair' bracelet watch brings the masculine shape and face to a halt with the feminine crystal trimming and blush links... #todie

6. This quilted faux leather jacket by BLANKNYC ends my search for fall's most important item

7. Kate Spade puts a delicate touch on the initial/monogram trend with this initial pendant necklace 

8. I love the shape and color of this COACH grommet leather duffle bag!

9. This laser cut shell is the perfect addition to my fall wardrobe...worn over a collared blouse or under a detailed blazer would be magnifico!

Patrick Kelly: A Runway of Love

Amid the hectic movement of last weekend, I was able to take a breather and see the Patrick Kelly: Runway of Love exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art with my aunt. The dresses, the fabrics, the runway and the exhibit flowed so easily it felt as if I stepped into a time machine headed straight for the late '80s.

Experiencing this exhibit with my aunt - a former model during the '80s - made it even more exhilarating. For her, the nostalgia was the overwhelming. For me, her excitement was intoxicating.

A POP of Yellow

My day-to-day outfits may consist of head to toe neutral tones, but I do love a nice accent color. Yellow is a great color for summer and these are some of my favorite seasonal picks!

2. A breezy satin-ribboned hat 

3. Express' perfect summer cut-outs 

4. A fun printed silk from Asos - perfect for BBQs! 

5. Saloni's elegant safron silk dress...lovely 

6. Valentino's (mini) Mary Janes that I would never get tired of!

7. For the sweltering Bikini Bottom days, a fun Pineapple shoulder bag 

8. A splash of yellow and a Nike swoosh on one of my all-time favorite sneaks

#3DaysofFashion

Last week, I had an incredible time in Los Angeles for FIDM's 3 Days of Fashion. From listening to Juicy Couture's Pam and Gela talk about their new book, The Glitter Plan, to seeing some of Nick Verreos' (of Project Runway fame) finest pieces from his NIKOLAKI  line...a nine-head figure drawing workshop and hours of shopping at CMC. I had a blast and met some beautiful new people! 

The sweetest (and prettiest) new friends :)

Not to mention, partying at FIGat7th, dining at Bottega Louie and prancing through North Hollywood!
