Vested





Yet another fabulous outfit focused around my leather My Tribe dress I wore a few weeks ago!
This time I rocked it as a vest over ikat printed short-shorts...

The result: A fun and playful outfit, which is a total necessity on a Summer day in my book!

LUXE

Never one to miss out on a photo opp. in a glamorous place, I took advantage of lattes at LUXE, a quaint little coffee house in my neighborhood that's chocked full of charm!
I couldn't imagine a better place to relax and enjoy a delicious coffee and a decadent treat in downtown Spokane. They're incredibly friendly there and the decor is absolutely fabulous, I can totally imagine Marie Antoinette going here on a regular basis if she was around today and lived in the Northwest...
I think this outfit just fits the atmosphere in LUXE. It's got to be the silky fabric of my grey romper mixed with the mustard tank and the accessories, especially my bedazzled headband (which is very M.A.)!

fab five

A quick glimpse at the five fabest things of my week!

Enjoy fellow fashionista's!

I forgot how much I love Eloise kisses! Went home to Chewelah this week and spent some much needed quality time at the park with my pooch. Love her!
Being that it is the first official day of the Olympics, I figured we needed a dose of Olympic fashion in the form of Stella McCartney for Adidas. These are two looks she created for Great Britain, but I'm honestly more interested in what she's got on... Cute!

Got inspired the other night with these bleach dying tips from Honestly...WTF! Love the rust color black cotton changes to in only seconds! Of course I wouldn't really wear these both at the same time, but they turned out pretty cool, don't cha think?

I've been on a massive search for a cake stand and dome for a long time now. Found this beautiful vintage one at Pink's this week... so excited! Can't wait to fill it with all of my homemade treats.
Just a little pick-me-up off our sale rack at Jigsaw! We just marked down a ton of new stuff, and made additional markdowns on others so come check it out! Got this sequined Laundry dress for $50 from $264! Score!

Channeling Chanel




 

Chanel Pre-Fall 2012 Collection

There's nothing more classic then a black and white ensemble!

I was channeling Chanel with these tweedy shorts and jewels galore (a nod to the Chanel Pre-Fall 2012 Bollywood inspired collection).

Always trying to make the most out of my wardrobe, I threw my ADA wrap bracelet (available in lots of decadent neutrals at Jigsaw) on as a headband... Oh, and my top is actually an embellished vest I threw on backwards over a tube top!

Fashion Inspiration: Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina


As you know, I've been on an Audrey Hepburn kick as of late. While reading the chapter on timeless Audrey Hepburn style in 'What Would Audrey Do?' I read about her first meeting with Hubert de Givenchy ( he thought he'd be working with Katherine Hepburn), the three outfits that transformed fashion of the 1950's (and beyond for that matter) and their lifetime friendship/fashion collaboration.

Of course I wanted to take a more detailed look at those three famous outfits she picked out for the 1954 film 'Sabrina' which were Givenchy's Spring/Summer collection from the previous season!

Here's what I found surfing the net...

The "Glen Cove Suit" she wore at the Glen Cove train station arriving in Paris, when traveling was still chic. Can you believe that waist? Love the classic, white turban.

 The "Inez de Castro" white ball gown. The cut of this dress is absolutely impeccable. I love that she still shows a little leg in this ballgown!

And lastly  "the Date Dress" which she wore on her date with Humphrey Bogarts character. This dress is sweet and demure, but also has an understated sexiness to it. 

Can I please mimic these outfit, like yesterday? 

"I have more sex appeal on the tip of my nose then many women have in their entire bodies. It doesn't stand out a mile, but it is there." -Audrey Hepburn

fab five


 This weeks fab five list doesn't have a ton of fashion behind it, but I've been having a really fun week filled with lots of making, doing and I've spending time with really lovely friends and wanted to share.
Enjoy!

One of my "projects" this week found at Refinery29! I love this tee over brights for a casual Summer day, but I think pulled over something dressier it can become very fashiony...

Gwyneth Paltrow's Fried-Zucchini Spaghetti... My favorite meal to make for myself. Simple, yet delicious!

Marion Cotillard wearing Christian Dior Couture and Anne Hathaway in Prabal Gurung: both visions in white in my eyes, at The Dark Night Rises premiere!

Froyo from Froyo Earth with my friend Gretchen. Delicious/Dangerous place! The options are endless, I think I put a little of everything on mine!
My fave toppings: cinnamon toast crunch, chocolate covered pretzels, marshmallow cream & coconut!

I've so been enjoying this book What Would Audrey Do? by Pamela Keogh. It's teaching me a lot about that Audrey-ness and grace we should all aspire to have a little of.

Breakfast at Tiffany's

Morning lovelies! I thought you all could enjoy a little Breakfast at Tiffany's this morning with me as the ultimate party girl, Holly Golightly (played by Audrey Hepburn, looovvee her)! Hope you're enjoying something delicious (me, I'm having a fruit smoothie)!

These pictures were taken of me at a costume party the other week, I think the black and white almost puts you in the movie...

Wishing you all a fabulous, Audrey inspired day!

Fashionably Yours,

pop of fun




Polka dots and splashes of color made this outfit so fun to wear out on the town the other evening! I kept cool in the Summer heat, and stayed on-trend by wearing just my bra underneath this crochet top!
