Cupcakes and Cashmere

Black and Yellow

February 23rd, 2012

Prada Sunglasses, J.Crew Dress, Maje Belt, Reed Krakoff Bag, Alberta Feretti Sandals, Essie “Cute as a Button” Nail Polish

Yesterday was in the upper 70s and our entire neighborhood seemed to have shifted into spring. Our backyard smelled like jasmine and orange blossoms and felt nothing like February. And since it was National Margarita Day (I never pass up the opportunity to celebrate random “holidays”), we followed this recipe for drinks that were the ideal complement to our Mexican take-out.

    I so envy the weather you have in LA! I would love to go to graduate school in California and soak in the sunshine. Beautiful outfit.

    The black belt with the yellow dress is a hit, I love the bow detail of the belt—I want one in every color!

    Love your outfit. The yellow just pops and with that cute bow belt. I have those Prada sunglasses, they are a major conversation starter wherever I go. They scream statement!

    The same thing happened in London and I also wore yellow and blogged about it too! Something in the air. Amazing colour and looks fantastic on you. Sunnies are perfection.
