10 Ways to Wear a White Dress (from FabSugar)

I always love style features that provide inspiration for wearing an object a bunch of different ways. Because, lets be honest, it doesn't make sense to buy new dress every time you want to change up your look. Not only does this video from FabSugar give you some fun ideas about how to style a super simple white dress, but I just thought the video was cute.  Plus,  I've always loved a little white dress.

Vacation Planning by Decor

We finally settled on summer vacation plans and I can't wait to spend a week on the beach in Hawaii.   However,  when I was brainstorming/daydreaming of other places I might want to spend a week off,  I came up with a long list.   We were mostly looking at rental homes and condos, but somehow I also stumbled upon some amazing hotels.    Most of the resorts and hotels I have stayed at in the past are pretty mass-produced, with decor that is simple enough to put in hundreds of rooms, and patterned carpets that don't show dirt so it's good to know there are better options out there.   I've been dying to travel through Italy, and while Rome was on the top of my list,   I might have to change that for a stop in Capri or Florence to stay in one of these JK hotels. Check out the image below of J.K.Place on the island of Capri.  Every room in the hotel is stunning.  I think the simple blue and white motif is stunning, and they do a great job of making it feel beachy without covering everything with shells and lighthouse motifs.

 

 Can't you just imagine an afternoon nap in one of these heavenly beds,  looking out on the bright blue Tyrrhenian Sea?

After discovering the J.K. Place in Capri,  I also found that they have a beautiful boutique hotel in Florence as well.  The decor is equally stunning.

I hope you have a lovely vacation for yourself planned!

Happy Friday!

Blake Lively - Serious Glamour

I adore Blake Lively. She is somehow stunning while also feeling like a real girl.  There was a lot of back-lash online when Karl Lagerfeld announced she would be an ambassador for Chanel, but I think it was perfect.     For those of you who didn't agree, have you seen her most recent Glamour spread?  She looks amazing and is oozing some serious old-school glamour.

All photos from Glamour magazine Facebook page.

PS - While I think the pictures above are amazing,  her cover shot was not. Ugh, I hate when they photoshop so much that people's faces look weird and distorted.

Madewell & Neutrals

I usually gravitate towards bright colors and patterns but every once and a while, I get inspired by neutral color palate. Madewell always does a great job of styling simple pieces and neutral colors, and their most recent online lookbook is no exception.  On top of that, it features Arizona Muse - a model who I noticed in the recent J.Crew catalog and I think she's adorable. 

Rumor is that Madewell is opening up a San Francisco store later this summer, so I'm putting my online purchases on hold until I can do my shopping in the live store.

Tangerine Dream

Orange has always been one of my favorite colors.  So, it wasn't surprising that as I glanced at my Pinterest inspiration board,   I had a ton of orange hues on my list.  I think a little bit of orange makes everything just a little bit more fun, and it's a perfect color to work into your wardrobe as the weather gets warmer!

1 - Orange looks great in the summer, especially on tanned skin -  TopShop Orange Triangle Bikini ($36)

2 - The lux material (ostrich) makes this fun bag a bit more serious -  Kate Spade Bowler ($352)

3 - Orange toenails have been a signature of mine since high school - Essie Nailpolish in 'Braziliant' ($8)

4 - I've always loved elephants! Even if you only wear it a couple of times, this wimsical ring is a fun piece to have in the jewelry box - Forever21 Orange Elephant Ring ($6)

5 - I had a similar watch with a yellow band that I completely wore out. Maybe orange should be next - Lacoste Watch ($195)

6 - This camera would definitely up the cool factor when taking tourist pics - Hermes Leica Camera

7 - Simple swingy dress that makes the color do the talking -  Miss Selfridge Skater Dress ($69)
