one.last.summer.look: american apparel sheer shirt + bb dakota dress

YOU MAY RECOGNIZE these elements from an earlier post as I seem to have fallen in love with this shirt.dress.combo. It's a healthy relationship. I'm not worried. Should I be worried? NO, I'm not worried. This is the first time I've buttoned a collar all the way up. And no one forgets their first.
Now, how to winterize...

autumn pastels: ben sherman chambray + american apparel peaches


I'M SORRY WHAT? It's October? How did that happen? Well, can I still wear pastels? Ok then. DONE.

GOOSEBUMPS! And I don't mean the wildly thrilling and expertly written children's horror stories, I mean the precious results on a chilly Autumn day.

SIDEBAR: Ben Sherman has THE BEST CHAMBRAY SHIRTS. I ♥ many features: the backwards buttons on men's collared shirts, the slim fit, the cool color, I could go on... the versatility, the-button-spacing-is-sexy-on-a-woman, the...

REMEMBER THAT TIME I called out the blog Tomboy Style for being one of my style inspirations? Well, I also tweeted that ish and guess m-fing what? Lizzie Garrett, author of Tomboy Style, reached out to lil' ol' me to be featured on the blog for a Q&A session! Whaaaaa? Me? You think I'm interesting? Cool. Giggle.

we're on a boat, yes we are: stripes + sperry

I THINK MY Sperrys look like cute, little, platinum mouses. I haven't named them yet, but I'm leaning towards Karl & Blake. Or Hedi & Seal. #decisionsdecisions

Contrary to popular belief, you DO NOT have to be on a boat/wear croakies or nantucket red shorts/summer in the vinyard to wear boat shoes. You should; however, have incredible fashion taste and ironically pair them with nautical stripes :-)


So to expand their market, Sperry expanded their color and style choices this season. Which greatly appealed to muah because I needed something different in my shoe collection. Something classic.

And it was the metallic that initiated the attraction. Which quickly spread to the whisker-like, white knots and threaded laces. And continues with the the sheer comfort of wear-ability. 

My Vote: ALL. ABOARD.

Check out Sperry Top-Sider and Sebago for more mouses!
