Laid Back Bohemian

Gypsy05 Dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cutch, Deepa Gurnani Headband (Similar)

I can't deny my love affair with tie dye pieces, especially those of longer lengths. The fit of this dress is perfect and the colorful cinched waist is an added bonus. Also, jeweled headbands are the easiest way to remix your everyday hair look. After spending way too much time blowdrying my hair, the last thing I want to do is style it. Throwing on a fun headband always gives my hair a little sass that is much needed.

 

Black and White Stripes

Express Dress, Madewell Belt, Zara Vest, Anthropologie Necklace, Rebecca Minkoff Clutch

Due to my mom's inability to walk through a store, and not pick up every striped piece they offer, I've been trained to avoid buying stripes, because I can just steal borrow hers. I made an exception for this dress, because the fit and flare style is too perfect. I saw this dress on Miranda Kerr. She paired it with a denim vest, which happens to be one of my favorite looks. I could not believe it was from Express — a store I rarely ever shop in. To my surprise, they had one left (on sale) and now it's mine!

Wear the Pants

Eileen Fisher Pants, Madewell Top, Rebecca Minkoff Bag, Sequin Necklace c/o + Cuff

These black pants have been such a staple in my wardrobe lately. When I'm confused about what to wear, in a little fashion rut, or running low on time, I turn to these pants. The wide leg fit allows me to pair almost anything in my closet with them (from graphic tees to silk blouses), and no matter what I pair, I feel put together. I love a piece of clothing that makes getting ready pretty effortless.

Love in her eyes and flowers in her hair

Zara Dress, Madewell Necklace + Heels, Alexis Bittar Cuff, That Madonna Girl Halo

Is there anything better than a white dress? Ok, I take that back. Maybe a black dress is a tiny bit better, but the Summer months are approaching and light colors suite the hot days much better. I find this dress to be perfect for Summer. It's flowy, lightweight, and provides a perfect canvas for bohemian accessories. What could be better?

"Black is modest and arrogant at the same time.  Black is lazy and easy— but mysterious.  But above all black says this: 'I don't bother you— don't bother me." -Yohji Yamamoto

Weekend Wrap up

My much anticipated weekend came and went way too fast. My family all flew down to attend my graduate school graduation. I can't believe how fast two years have gone. I joke that I am officially a "real person" now. And by "real person," I mean that I'll be getting a big girl job. Yikes.

The official ceremony was on Saturday and we actually arrived and exited graduation by boat. My parents house and the university are on the same lake, which made it even more memorable. After graduation, we ate at my favorite Italian spot, and ended the night (and into the morning) at the local bar.

This weekend is one for the books. I'm in need of a good night's sleep. How was your weekend?
