Mad for Banana Republic's New Line
Banana's new Mad Men line is beyond fabulous and making me super excited for fall (can you say boots and cashmere and pumpkin spice candles?! But I'm getting ahead of myself...). Here are a few pieces I can't wait to get my hands on...
Nicely done Banana, sure wish I still had that employee discount!

Add a splash of summer to your wardrobe!
Photo: Pinterest
Why not...
* Tie a bright patterned scarf to a neutral leather handbag
* Add a flower to your ponytail or clip one behind your ear
* Wear sparkly nail polish
* Find a tropical and summery screen saver
* Apply fruity lip balm (I'm currently loving Fresh Lime by H & M)
* Carry a cute eco-friendly water bottle (garnished with a slice of lemon or lime) at all times to stay hydrated
What are your favorite ways to stay cute in the heat?

Ooh la la Carla!
Italian heiress, controversial supermodel, muse to numerous American rock legends, First Lady of France, global women's rights activist, acclaimed singer and songwriter, and soon to be mom, it's safe to say Carla Bruni has worn her fair share of (very cute!) hats over the years. I first became enamored with Carla after hearing her hit song, Quelqu'un m'a dit in the soundtrack of the movie, 500 Days of Summer, and have been a huge fan or her music--and wardrobe--ever since! Affectionately known as a modern day French Jackie-O, she possesses a certain 'je ne sais quoi' when it comes to personal style. Check out a few of my favorite looks (and why the work so well!) below.
By adding a funky patterned shawl to a simple evening gown and an interesting neckline or splash of Fuchsia to an otherwise basic coat, Carla puts a fresh spin on classic pieces.
This oh so polished ensemble exemplifies what I like to call "classy sexy". While her form fitting suit flatters every curve, the longer hemline, ballet flats and conservative tote ensure she looks polished and work appropriate.
By balancing out a loose flowing blouse with more tailored jeans, well chosen classic accessories and an elegant upswept bun, Carla appears casual with out looking messy.
From coats to cocktail attire, chic tailored suits to flowing blouses and jeans, Carla Bruni exudes style by blending classic feminine pieces with unexpected twists. Can't wait to see what the First Lady fashionista wears next!

Bloggers Do It Better: My Take on the Neon and Neutral Trend!
This week I'm super excited to partake in PrettyShinySparkly's Bloggers Do It Better challenge: Mixing neon and neutral shades to create one fabulous summer ensemble!
I selected a splashy H&M tunic, a nude H&M tote (no longer in stores), killer flesh-toned Enigma heels, a lime vintage bangle, and Color Club in Electric Coral nail polish for my toes. My tousled summer mane is the happy result of swimming in chlorinated water, sleeping, and oodles of impromptu hair flipping, otherwise known as the "swim, sleep, flip" I hear it's all the rage right now ;) Oh, and yes, I'm watering the garden in stilettos. Don't judge.

Style Icon: Alice Cullen of the Twilight Saga
Photos: Google
Last week, as I waited with bated breath for the release of the Breaking Dawn trailer (which was awesome!), I decided today's style icon post would feature Twilight's resident clairvoyant fashionista, Alice Cullen. Played by the stunning Ashley Greene, Alice's oh-so-girly ensembles, eye for details, and flair for the dramatic, easily make her the foxiest gal in Forks! With a flick of her pixi crop, she seamlessly mixes full length gloves and head scarves with bold colors, unusual necklines, and plenty of feminine touches (like ribbon headbands, delicate pendent necklaces and over-sized shades). It's safe to say I would die to raid her accessories closet (as long as she turned me into a vampire afterward, of course!). Absolutely can't wait to drool over her outfits in Breaking Dawn this November!
