 With summer in mind, I decided to post this set I put together for a contest held by Nordstrom a little while ago. My main objective was to keep the look...fresh and fun, what else? The colors are so enticing, and just exude a summery chic, resort-style feel. The structure of the shoe is so beautiful, it's no wonder they're Valentino. Slender white pants are a wardrobe staple and have just the crispness the other pieces need to really be rocked. And the perfume? Well, the bottle just seems to fit, doesn't it? ;) 

XOXO,

P.S. Happy (belated) Cinco de Mayo!

Now that it's about to be spring (and then summer!), more and more straw purses (a wardrobe staple) are beginning to emerge. This year a girly trend that's been popping up is flowers on straw bags, so I decided to do a little "Look for Less" style post. The top row features some very high end straw bags (Lanvin and Valentino), and the bottom row features some less pricey options. I must say that out of all of these bags, my favorites are definitely the Valentino one (top right) and the crochet flower satchel by the Sak (bottom middle), available on Lord and Taylor's website for just $59. :)
