Heat Wave

Because I can't even think of putting on clothes in the heat, I've been sitting in a bathingsuit on the computer looking for some inspo... (Pictures from various sources: Sartorialist, Man Repeller, Dolce & Gabanna, Christopher Kane, Olsen Anonymous, TTH, Stella, Wildfox Blog, etc...)

The Lumineers

This band is just too good right now.
And the song 'Flowers in Your Hair' is just so, summer before college.

The Little Mermaid

And now, I'd love to channel my inner mermaid.

For the Love of Sandals

Three years ago in intern desperation (you know... feet bleeding in 4 inch heels as you run countless errands all over NYC?) I popped into a store on Broadway to discover the perfect pair of black lace-up sandals. Since than, we've had a loving relationship... but this past week my shoe-repair man told me that my time was up. Now, I've spent the entire week in a frenzy searching for the best possible replacement at a reasonable price and let me tell you people, it aint easy. These bad boys are from Zara and the closest I've found to a worthy opponent of my beloved babies that I wish the shoe-maker could fix just this last time...

 

Even Cowgirls Get the Blues

I believe I am in love with Wildfox S/S 12.

 These shorts are unbelievable. And the bow detail is perfect.

Who wears short shorts?

Dealing with this Indian Summer isn't easy... especially when I can't seem to get funky embroidered shorts off my mind after oggling over Tuula Vintage's Blog Site.

To get the look try these from Nasty Gal! (and, only $38!)

Or you can try these Urban Renewal Crochet Shorts which I've decided I MUST get my hands on ($44)

INDIAN SUMMER

After a week of low 60's I finally brought my space heater up to Binghamton only to realize its been 80 degree weather for about a week. Have I mentioned the sandals I've been refusing to replace have finally ripped just in time for an Indian Summer (ouch). On the plus side I now can run out of the house without blowdrying my hair and calmly explain to my father that an Indian Summer is most definitely an excuse to buy more shorts.

A few years ago, went to a Summer of Love exhibit at the Whitney and have yet to get this poster out of my head...
