Chloe s/s 2011 via style.com. After loving the past few seasons of Chloe...and now this...I am a loyal fan forever of Hannah MacGibbon. The color palette, the flow, the femininity, the materials, and the ballet slippers are devine - so close to the ground just as I like.

The weather here in Philadelphia has been bizarre - hot, cold, dry, wet - we've seen it all recently. Makes for interesting closet choices. I'm back in school full time so I have been bogged down with work. I apologize for letting like 10 days go by without a post. I promise to try harder to make time for my blog. xx

I recently discovered this beautiful Australian label - Gillian Tennant - on one of my favorite blogs, allure-allure. Everything is so soft and airy, almost ballerina-like.

 Really do come true."

What a beautiful mix of American and European, shabby and chic, classic and romantic. Quintessential Ralph Lauren.

My favorites from Diane Von Furstenberg S/S 2011

This is her first collaboration with Yvan Mispelaere, and a successful one for sure. In typical dfv style, there were lots of bold prints throughout the collection (not shown here). They were great as well, but I tend to gravitate toward the less graphic, more simple silhouettes, like those above. Beautiful. I'm particularly loving the rust and blue color combo in photo two.
