Look of the Day!

This dress is from Victoria Beckham's new Autumn/Winter line. This dress almost has me wishing fall were here! Did I just say that? Sick. With all the magazines focusing on the Fall collections I don't know if I'll be able to resist a purchase or two.
Solution:
1. turn up the air conditioning.
2. put on this dress.
3. Strut my stuff, maybe take a picture
4. Happiness:)

Look of the day: VB dress, AW collection 2010. Drape Neck Shift.

Summer Get-a-way!

Summer travel is always fun. Also fun, planning out my get-a-way outfits! This summer we are planning a Napa Valley sweep San Fran, California vacay. Here is what I'm planning to wear. Won't my breezy outfits look chic in the summer sun!??

First I'll need the all important bathing suit.. This year I'm really into the retro styles that evoke a romantic, feminine vibe. Here are few I like including two I just bought! This summer try them in warm neutrals like tan, peach and white! So of the moment!

From JCrew and Victoria's Secret, respectively.

The Second item: The Cover up. Almost as important as the swimsuit, the cover up is usually worn even more than the suit itself, so it must be divine! Here is a nautical look I LOVE!! You could also try a great maxi dress or a boyfriend shirt!

Third: A great pair of travelling pants! I love a worn in trouser fitted just enough to be feminine and cuffed at the bottom. You can slip this great staple on with almost anything...a great t-shirt, a cozy sweater for those San Fran evenings, or a floaty tank and heels to dress them up. They are MAGIC pants, I'm telling you!

Here are a few things I would pair with my traveling chinos...

A tribal T...I love the Native American print!

Or a flouncy silk tank in a fabulous mango color!

And a favorite cardy... Madewell has the best ones! (madewell.com)

Fourth: You will always need one "evening look" for any good vacation. If you feel as though you don't, you are simply not vacationing correctly. I love the thought that an exciting evening on the town awaits me in a new city! I might go dancing or attend a new play but I'll do something that requires a dress! Here are some options I love for a summer evening out:

Silk tank dress with a lace hem and detailed button back!

Sequined stripe tank dress, this one is by French Connection.

Day Excursion outfits: Now these you will need a lot of: Cute looks that are versatile and great for sight seeing and traveling! Here are a few of my own:

A romper! Don't judge them before you've tried one...rompers are divine! Pair this one with some flat sandals and bring a cardigan and some cat eyed sunglasses...and what aren't you ready for?? Nothing!

Here is another day look I love! Stripes in red or navy...you can't go wrong with this classic!

Or try a great Henley with some texture and a pair of rolled 501s!

Now that my outfits are all planned out I don't know that I'll be able to wait til Calli to wear them!! Oh well:) I hope all your summer plans are fun and fashionable!
