Checkered Brights

June 20th, 2011

Vintage Aviators and Necklace, Urban Outfitters Blouse, J.Crew Vest, Handmade Bracelet (by my mom), Zara Skirt, Leather Satchel Company Clutch, Fendi Wedges

Since all of my breezy basics and colorful tunics were packed away for our trip, I relied on muted brights for the duration of the weekend. I’d been searching for a vest version of my beloved military-inspired jackets (this and this), so I was ecstatic when I found the exact one at J.Crew while looking for a bathing suit. No swimwear was found, but I went home happy.

Can we just take a moment and pay homage to how fabulous your hair looks swept up into a wispy bun? I want a tutorial on how to do that hair style with ease in the morning. Have a wonderful vacation!

I agree, the vest was a great find. I mostly am after your sunglasses though- I want a gold pair of aviators that don’t fall apart on me.
