SUMMER SUITS

(Jules, Bee, Kelly)

I'm really smitten with the matching top/short trend. It's like wearing opulent pajamas around town! Plus, I love any outfit that can wear heels and Converse interchangeably. And with homegirls purchasing their swag from Topshop and Zara, the price is certainly right.

MUSIC VID: WE CAN'T STOP

I'm not gonna lie, I'm totally smitten with Miley Cyrus's new edgy look. Everyone is free to make radical changes while they're growing up, and girlfriend looks great! That being said, I'm kinda mesmerized by her new music video. (I wasn't too crazy about the song when I heard it on the radio, but I'm one of those people who's opinion can be wildly influenced for better or worse by the music video.) Being a twerkin' Former Disney Star takes some fucking guts, then she backs it up with completely flawless & luscious make-up and hot dogs falling out of piñatas. It's got #lifegoals written all over it! Plus, I really want one of those "Dope" t-shirt bodysuits--someone make that for me!

RIHANNA, PART DUEX

Rihanna Obsession continues. And rightfully so!

BOUDOIR GOLD

In my Ideal Bestie World, I purchase this bed-set from Feliz for Hilary. (I also somehow manage to send her Chris Traeger, too.) It's got the swagger of gold (homegirl's favorite color) but the sweetness of a starry night. At least the pillow cases are somewhat reasonable!

JACKETS: J. CREW EDITION

(All from J. Crew: shop here.)

Summer in Texas is not a good time to explore jackets, but it's something I'm bookmarking for the fall. What Not To Wear, one of my favorite shows, preaches the power of the blazer but I've always been more of a cardigan girl. So note to self: once temperatures drop, try to find a fitted blazer and a sporty jacket. J. Crew is always on point, and I'm especially in love with the Ikat blazer. (Maybe by the time it cools down here, these will be on sale!)

VICTORIA BECKHAM

(all here)

(une, duex, trois)

Victoria Beckham is so fucking perfect, and I'm not getting over it any time soon. Long ago are the days of orange skin and severe 90s bob! This century, she's rocking amazing colors, dramatic proportions, and clean lines that not only inspire my office wardrobe (ideals, guys!) but also my casual sensibility (mini skirts and wedges with a toddler in tow). Don't ever stop, girlfriend!
