I love putting together a hipster look during the summer. It’s the season where light-weight, breezy clothing is a plus and adding a hint of color equals perfection.  This ensemble in particular would be my “sun in the city” look. The banana print tank is fresh and fun, the cheetah print wedges add spice, the polka dot denim high waisted shorts are flirty and the neon orange camera bag is paired to hold the device that will capture it all.

chair up,

I have a slight love for patchwork, but when it comes to home décor, the love intensifies. It reminds me of my adoration for mix patterns, but as a furniture piece, and chairs are a perfect accent piece for just that. As I was searching for photos to compliment my patchwork interest on Pinterest (hey, that rhymes), I recollected a photo of Solange that would be the model accessory to this post.  In addition, not only is she the queen of mixed prints and patterns, she makes it look super stylish as well.

clock hue,

Watches are a split between practical and the model wrist ornament. Most wear them for style (myself), while others use them to literally identify the time. Kate Spade seems to be on the style clock, she is always up to the minute with her brilliant designs. Her new ‘skyline’ bracelet watches (Nordstrom Exclusive), is a mix of sporty and trendy. The colors remind me of Popsicle hues, and the yellow-gold platting is super luxe; which make these watches a summer time winner.

beauty marc,

Instagram is becoming my new fashion and beauty update source. As I was scrolling through my timeline, I came across Lucky Magazines new Editor in Chief (and former Teen Vogue beauty/health director) Eva Chen’s instagram, where she uploaded a photo of a makeup collection by none other than the king of innovation himself, Marc Jacobs. I was instantly swooned; Marc is teaming up with Sephora for the launch of his original makeup line. According to Refinery.com, the cheeky cosmetic line is set to launch in the U.S. and Canada stores August 9th, a month from today.  I know I'll be counting down until Marc makes his beauty debut, will you? 

foot work,

 

Today was a gorgeous day; I celebrated my lovely daughters 10^th birthday in the heart of New York City.  As we headed to our destination, American Girl Place, I could not help but internally secret admire the stylish sandals/shoes that I passed by. At one point, I was compelled to snap photos (to share with my readers of course).  But, I decided to re-capture some street style looks that were parallel to my on-foot muses.
