Off To The Races

Wednesday was opening day at the Del Mar Racetrack. It was the first year in awhile that I did not wear a big hat and attend. Instead, I choose to spend my time on the beach soaking up some rays with my family. However, I definitely missed the party! At least there is always next year!

Reminiscing over past years and past hats...

Flirting With Flourescents

I'm going bananas over fluorescents this summer! Fluorescent nails, fluorescent fashion, and fluorescent accessories... You name it!

I've had my eyes on the Fluoro Cambridge Satchel for awhile and I recently splurged after receiving a pay check. Now it is just a matter of waiting for it to arrive in the mail.

For now I'm inspired by these images. What do you think?

Wasted Daylight

I'm enjoying every minute of the sunshine today with my family in Del Mar. How fortunate I am to have a day like today!

Insert a bikini and here is my attire for the day!

"Coco" Color Palette

Karl Lagerfeld outdid himself this year with Chanel's Fall 2012 Haute Couture Show in Paris's Grand Palais. The garden party featured white wicker chairs, gardenias, and macaroons... ahhh swoon.

I felt like I was being swept off my feet when my eyes scanned the "new vintage" themed collection composed of classic pieces with modern twists (i.e. the tweed jacket). I found the collection complete on account of the classically Coco color palette and the stunningly intricate details. Are you dying over this collection as much as I am?!

Monsters, Inc.

I can't get enough of the Icelandic band Of Monsters And Men. Listen and you'll know why.

Did I leave you wanting more? Well, if so, you're in luck! Here is a peak at what else I have had on repeat lately:

• Matt & Kim- Let's Go
• RAC- Hollywood (Feat. Penguin Prison)
• Tanlines- Real Life
• Lemonade- Softkiss

And these three to get ready for their upcoming concerts that I'm attending:

• The Lumineers- Big Parade
• The Head and the Heart- Down In the Valley
• Ben Howard- Old Pine

Go on, kick up your feet and dance today!

Let's Party

Going out with the girls tonight!

Haute Stuff

Twice-a-year models grace the runways of Paris's Haute Couture Shows. I think many of Paris's Haute Couture Shows are the most fun and daring shows of the year and they always exude grandeur and magnificence. While I am swooning over the runways this season, I am also stunned by the street style being captured by photographers and bloggers in Paris.

Stay tuned for a post featuring a Paris haute couture runway show!

Tennis Babe

My sister recently spent a day in the sun and the rain at Wimbledon. Although she did not see Serena take the victory home for America, she did get to watch a bevy of other athletes hit the courts in their "tennis whites."

How chic are these all-white tennis outfits compliments of Elle Italia?

Twenty-Four Reasons

I have twenty-four reason to be happy, to squeeze the day, and to be in love. Today I'm wishing my love a happy twenty-fourth birthday! Cheers to another amazing journey around the sun!

Wishful Wednesday

I popped into J.Crew earlier this week to do a quick return and my eyes quickly grew very large at the sight of these blooming baubles. I just adore the colorfulness of the glass and stone-cut statement pieces. Which one do you prefer? I'm partial to the peach one!

Happy peachy keen Wednesday!
