French Charm Trend, Take Two

I just can't keep my eyes off of the frenchies. Now, let's take it from the top. Echo's 'Equestrian Status' Square Scarf - mix equestrian and scarf and I'm all in (and the fact that it's only $38 doesn't hurt). Kate Spade New York 'Gold Coast' Shoulder bag - classic. Period. I'm all about the classic styles, but of course paired with something bold and fun. This Nordstrom Stripe Straw Hat is along the lines of what I'm in the market for this summer... stripes are fun, but I'd like to find a good plain black or white one as well. Aaaand, of course, an item with some sort of animal print/skin (snake, in this particular case) - Vintage Reign Suede Foldover Clutch.

I vow to keep up with my posts more! Tomorrow's Friday! Cheers, xx

Editor's Picks

Vince Stripe Sweater

Calvin Klein "Feather Weight"

Bernardo Packable Down Vest

Splendid Stripe Column Maxi 

Rachel Roy Draped Back Blazer

Citizens of Humanity "Thompson" Crop Skinny Jeans

Cole Haan Air Bandon Flat 

Sam Edelman "Baxton" Flat

Never turned down a properly designed striped top for the preppy in me. Never quite been a fan of down vests until they decided to smush 'em down like marshmallows made for smores. I'm desperately looking for and in the market to throw down some serious cash for blazers currently. I'm ALWAYS on the look out for the best white jeans in the market, and would wear them year round it not frowned upon (though I still do pull the out a tad early in April, and push the limits wearing them well into October). And finally, I've done a bit of research for the most comfortable flats being manufactured (back and feet problems at age 25 #help).... and discovered the Maria Sharapova for Cole Haan above as the likely #1 candidate. Can't promise anything for Edelman's, but they caught my eye, as tan/gold combo's tend to do [insert BG: "bling bling"]. xx

Pardon my being lax on updates this week. Don't ever drive in Wrightsville beach, ever. You might somehow end up having to get your car towed across the country. Just don't.

In other news... NORDSTROM, true to fashion (cough, pun, cough), sparked my intrigue via an e-blast entitled "Key to Parisian Chic: Pastels, Polka Dots and Lace" - which does a great job summing up above pieces. Because I am of French ancestry, I feel like I "get" French Style and whether it's true or not, also feel that I fit best into their cuts (I do happen to be rather tall and lanky). I love the flowy, fit blouses with simple, elegant lines and subtle, yet sexy, colors. Enjoy.

Holiday Sneak Peak

Another jewel I found at bevello while last minute searching for something to wear to an engagement party this weekend was this elegant yet sassy cocktail dress by Max & Cleo. Ivory can be a year-round color, but with the gold giraffe print over top the chic lines, it whispers "holidays" to me. Max & Cleo are definitely my go-to for holiday cheer - they have similar dresses in other festive colors (a fabulous green, to name) - visit Nordstrom for online perusing. Cheers for Friday and holidays around the corner!
