Fashion Flashback

One of this summer's hottest accessories are Cat Eye Sunglasses. This particular shape of glasses were made famous by 50's and 60's icons, such as Marilyn Monroe. Go ahead, put the top down and be a starlet in your own pair!

The New Fad: Sneaker Wedges

I have started to see these shoes more often than I would have expected, and I have to admit they have grown on me. These shoes take the comfort of sneakers morphed into fashionable wedges that can really make a statement! Sneaker wedges dress up a casual outfit by adding the heel, but can also dress an outfit down for a more "hang loose" look.

Summer Must Have : Raffia

InStyle's Summer Accessories 2012 popped up on my Google+ feed today, being an accessories junkie I had to click.  My favorite accessories on the list were made of Raffia.  Raffia is commonly used for accessories such as hats and bags because it is soft, durable, and is easy to dye. A triple threat in the world of accessories: Soft for comfort, durable for wearing again and again, and easy to customize!

Looks From Prada Fall Collection 2012


Miuccia Prada's fall collection embraces both pattern and texture. This menswear inspired line creates an air of austere while maintaining feminine chic. I love the tailoring, and each look boasts a unique texture or print. Don't forget those amazing pumps, I can't get enough! These are some of my favorite looks:

Floral Leggings by Alexander McQueen

Patterns seem to be a big hit going into summer of 2012. The two most popular patterns being floral and aztec, and the bolder the better! If you are not wearing a pattern on your clothing, grab a POP accessory such as a bright clutch, patterned wedge, neon sandals, or chunky necklace. Gold statement pieces are my current go to. A thick chain or choker necklace puts the finishing touch on any classic neckline. The red lace dress seen here is also featured in the July 2012 issue of Lucky (which we all know comes out in June!). Check it out.

May The Force Be With You

SIDENOTE:

Darth Across America landed in Richmond yesterday. I was walking to Dixie Donuts (Maybe I should lay off the donuts), when a woman approached me with a Darth Vader helmet. San Francisco based photographer, Julie Schuchard, is traveling across the United States to showcase the people who live here. So of course, I put on the helmet.

The true StarWars fan that was honored during this trip through Richmond was Lex's of Carytown Manager Gigi Wall. I honestly don't think she owns a t-shirt that does not sport a StarWars icon of some kind, and man does she look rockin!

Carytown Celebrities

What a beautiful day in Richmond! We started out the day with some DELICIOUS cake based donuts from locally owned and operated Dixie Donuts. We got a dozen gourmet donuts for $10, including flavors such as chocolate toffee, pb and j, peanut butter crunch, and dulce de leche. My personal favorite being the dulce de leche, layered in a yummy salted caramel topping. While I was impressed with their baking, the employees behind the counter were impressed with something completely different, my adorable puppies! Kyoto and Bella were such celebrities that they had their picture taken for "Customers of the Week"! I can't wait to share the picture with you all when it is posted :) 

On that note, Kyoto's surgery went flawlessly, and he is currently curled up on my lap in recovery. Unfortunately he has to wear the "cone of shame" for the next 10 days! He is miserable about this of course. 


After our trip to Carytown, since it was such a nice day, we decided to walk to the outdoor market only a few blocks from our apartment complex. We went to the 17th Street Farmers' Market expecting to find lots of vegetables. Instead we found vegetables, fruits, soaps, jewelry, scarves, and so much more. I wish we had got their sooner because some of the venders were beginning to pack up their things when we arrived. The "vintage" market is tomorrow from 9AM-4PM, maybe I will just have to check this out!
