Haute Sauce: Dooney & Bourke

Sometimes when I go thrifting, I find a few things I like, while other times I come home pretty empty-handed. But sometimes, I find a piece that I am absolutely obsessed with! This was definitely the case when I pulled this top from an endless wrack of clothing at a local thrift store. I am beyond obsessed with the stripes, and adore the bow at the top. It's just a reminder why I will always love shopping at thrift stores.

After a busy holiday weekend, the last thing I want to do is get dressed up with heels and "fancy" clothing. That's why when I got dressed this morning, I threw on my most comfortable sweater and simply threw a head wrap on so I wouldn't have to worry about styling my hair. Whoever invented headbands, head wraps, etc. is totally a genius, by the way. So, how do all of you like to dress after a long holiday weekend of dressing up?

Have you ever walked out of your front door and felt like a different person because of your outfit? I definitely felt like a hip poet on her way to a poetry slam when I stepped out this morning. It was nice to get a surge of confidence with my new alter ego!

I'm usually not one for "boho" looks, but when I saw this hat on sale at Forever 21 a few weeks back, I was inspired to create something far out of my comfort zone. Being able to match it to one of my favorite lipsticks definitely helped boost my confidence! So tell me, how do you feel about boho looks?

Yesterday was my first day at my new job, and I almost had a panic attack when I couldn't figure out what to wear! Thank goodness offices tend to be freezing, because it allowed me to wear my beautiful new jacket I picked up over the weekend. Nothing tops a great first day like a kick-butt outfit!

Happy August! I could not be more thrilled that "No Buy July" is over. My first order of business was to run out and finally buy a kimono. I have been craving one for the longest time! I am so happy to finally own one, and am even more happy that it was under $25! In fact, my whole outfit is from Target and was under $75! Now that's what I call a great way to start August!

Nothing beats a nice casual and comfortable outfit to help beat the Summer heat. With the temperatures here in Southern California climbing up and up by the day, I'm finding myself coming up with more and more comfy outfits. After all, nothing feels good about skintight clothing when the weather is scorching hot!

Sometimes an outfit with only two colors can turn out to be one of your favorites. I found this dress a week ago at H&M and new it would go perfectly with my striped hat, but I assumed I would pair it with different colored shoes and maybe some different accessories. However, the simplicity of the white and red really ended up making this outfit!

The weather here in SoCal hs been really warm and windy lately. The perfect solution for the hot and hair-blowing wind was this amazing hat I borrowed from my aunt's closet (thanks, Mary!). Because of the super girly bow, I paired it with the most feminine top I own. After all, what's more girly than shoes and pearls?

As you may have read in my last post, I moved! I have always been obsessed with Southern California, so I couldn't be happier about finally living there. I spent the first day decorating my room and settling in, and of unloading my millions of shoes. Unfortunately, I could only fit about half of my collection into my suitcase. I guess I'll be taking a lot more four hour trips back home to get the rest of my things. It's all worth it, though!

Nothing is better than coming home from a day of crazy errands to find a package waiting on the front porch. My Peter Som shirtdress had finally arrived! The colors are absolutely gorgeous, and the waist tie makes it super flattering. It's definitely my favorite piece of the collection. Have you checked out Peter Som for DesigNation?
