Concrete Catwalk // A Real Catwalk

here's what i wore to elements last week...

guess what? 

another skirt-worn-as-a-dress!

p.s. how do we feel about the hair recently?

do we head lighter or darker??

a HUGE part of me wants to zoom back towards

being a bright, light blonde again!

Street Style // Sassy Sides

sweet elyse had me dying over the sassy sides of her romper

i love how she kept the look monochromatic

with striking black and accents of gold hardware

Concrete Catwalk // Drizzle

last week's drizzly skies

called for a bold pattern;

so i made a skirt into a top

and layered it over some pretty lace,

threw on a waist-cinching belt,

and donned some sparkly ballet flats

done, done and done.

Cara Mia

do you remember the giveaway for the darling blue dress 

from our sweet sponsor lucy golightly?

well, miss cara mia was the lucky winner

and she is just LOVING her dress.

she recently wore her pretty prize to the del mar horse races

and, how sweet, sent a couple of pics to show how she styled it!

glad you love the dress, cara-mia!

Concrete Catwalk // Summercamp

my outfits at the pilgrimage were pretty simple

but this was one of my favorites.

some thought the sparkly socks were a little much,

but a seasoned camper told me they keep the bugs away.

Concrete Catwalk // Frills

 

heading to an important business meeting
in 100+ degree temps
makes for a outfitting challenge...
my solution:
a tailored cropped trouser on bottom
with lots and lots of frills on top

earrings - forever21
necklace - early jewelry
blouse - j. crew
trousers -
heels - aldo

Concrete Catwalk // Summer Socks

the thought of socks in the summer
can sound a little sweltering,
but pick something in a bright color
and a thin weave and you'll look like you're staying cool.

have a great weekend!
