Currently Obsessed with Mara Hoffman's Colorful Prints

If my life was a tropical beach vacation, I'm pretty sure my wardrobe could be entirely made out of Mara Hoffman's colorful bathing suits, sundresses and shorts.  (It's amazing that these amazing ethnic/tribal seeming prints come from a woman born and raised in NY!)  If you have an end of summer vacation on the calendar, it's definitely worth picking up just one piece to spice up your suitcase :) 

My current wishlist: 

1- HoffmanTechno Animal printed one-piece swimsuit ($255)

2 - Mara Hoffman Maya printed triangle bikini ($195)

3 - Mara Hoffman Inca printed bikini ($215)

 4 - Mara Hoffman Mexican Blanket High Waisted Shorts ($389)

5 - Mara Hoffman Fitted Bustier Mexican Print Dress ($297)

 6 - Maya printed stretch-modal kaftan ($340)

Today is a Good Day

The perfect print for a Monday from Wild Horse Home...

I love how instead of a frame,  it's a retro wall hanging.  Almost feels like you could hang it up anywhere, just as a little reminder :)

Happy Friday! (And one oversized ice-cream print)

Consider celebrating the end of the week with this large scale print of a tasty looking soft serve ice-cream cone. (Just $50)

More fun (and huge) prints by artist Debbie Carlos on Etsy here.

(I also love this bunny!)

Aztec Sequin Print Mini Skirt

I kind of fell in love with this AllSaints skirt when I saw it on a friend (she actually rented it for a birthday party from Rent the Runway)  However, $300 seemed like a bit much to blow on a sparkly little mini.  But,  I couldn't stop thinking about it....

Then, when I recently walked by the AllSaints store,  they had come out with another version ($275) which had me again considering a splurge again...

Thankfully, Zara came to the rescue, with a skirtin their early spring line that has a similar tribal/aztec vibe,  and that same peachy color I love, but less than half the price!  Check it out:

Isn't it the perfect little skirt for a night out?  I'd probably even style it similarly to the way they did,  with a silky button down blouse and some fun wedges. I think I may pop into Zara later this week to try it on....

Update:  I can't remember the last time I walked into Express, but I just saw a commercial for the brand and on it, I spotted an Aztec inspied sequin skirt, much like the AllSaints and Zara versions above, for just $59!  It is a bit lower quality (flat sequins instead of fishscale), but it is a great bargain way to wear the style without breaking the bank.

 

New Line to Love? Victoria Victoria Beckham

I hate to say it, but I'm pretty scared of Victoria Beckham's body conscious dresses and sky high heels.  However, Posh's latest line Victoria Victoria Beckham is a whole new story.   This line is much more fun! I love the playful scalloped trims and fun prints -- perfect for a fun night out!  Or, maybe the soft cloud print for a fancy Sunday brunch?
