LesPommettes is eye candy for the fashionista. I love visiting this site a couple times each week because they have such unique pieces, both apparel and accessories. The jewelry is amazing, and the look book is always inspiring.
Here are a few more laid back looks for summer. Lace, linen, stripes and girly hemlines are just a few of the fun details I look for in clothing… especially summer clothing! (All images from Lespommettes.com)
Ella Moss’ spring collection has a lot of easy knits and cotton, perfect for this stay-at-home mom’s laid back wardrobe.
I know I seem hooked on the maxi skirt, dress, whatever… but it’s just such a great way to showcase “Chevron!”
Check out some of my favorites!

This jacket is from the super kid-chic brand, Morgan and Milo, and I’m in love with it! I love navy and green both. Together, it’s the perfect cold-weather combo!
And it’s a 2-in-1, twill parka and comfy puffer coat, which also makes it a 3-in-1… seasons that is!
A definite must have for my middle America kiddos.

I saw this outfit on one of my favorite blogs, FashionScanner.onsugar.com, and just had to post it.
In fact, Antonio Berardi’s Fall Collection for 2012 is altogether pretty amazing.
I love all the rich fabrics and textures, and of course, I adore the color turquoise. Don’t ask me where I would wear this, but it’d be nice to look at in my closet every day!

It seems like leather shift dresses are been popping up everywhere. From Zara last fall to Valentino this spring, leather comes in many styles and colors. But no style more often than the shift, which is great for us short, non-super model types.
Here are a few photos of this great trend in women’s dressing, and one of those pieces that you can splurge on because undoubtedly, it will be “in style” forever!

Finally, sandals that are comfortable AND beautiful!
Here I am on the tail end of my 30′s (cough, cough) and it’s been eight whole years since I have daily, worn fabulous 4″ heels to work, while trotting around San Francisco’s financial district.
Where has the time gone? And more importantly, where has my ability to wear beautiful shoes with leg-lengthening heels for extended periods of time gone? I guess the old adage “use it, or lose it” applies rather well in this case.
So today, when I was lured in by an email from Piperlime.com to check out their sandal collection, I couldn’t resist. Much to my surprise, brands like Sofft and Kork-Ease actually make really fashion-forward shoes these days!
Here are some of my picks:
Kork-Ease Sarah Regular Price, piperlime.com $165
YOU by Crocs Thrilita, piperlime.com $130
Indigo by Clarks Luna Comet, piperlime $110
Sofft Palaiseau, piperlime.com $115

If you remember, several weeks ago, I scored myself the cutest sequined romper ever. They called it a “playsuit”, but “romper” seems to be more common for the top-combined-with-shorts look. This little Thakoon number in blue and white looks like such a fun, not to mention an easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy, outfit to wear for just about anything.
Date night with your best guy? No problem. Birthday party for your best friend? No problem. Girls’ Night Out with your best girls? No problem. Just make sure they are not all at the same venue. And don’t forget to add statement-making jewelry and sky-high sandals for a very sexy, leggy look.

Do I have maxi fever? Ohhhh, you bet I do. And today while scanning through my favorite sites, I found this on bijouandboheme.com.
Check out this maxi skirt that brings to life the very right now color blocking trend.
Pink and orange are colors I always like together, and this cute skirt could be dressed down just as easy as it’s dressed up in this photo. Imagine a tight, ribbed white tank and some flat sandals. But keep the straw hat with the poppy ribbon!
Charlie Brown skirt, $349
This turquoise necklace can’t really count as a covet because I already bought it. And I have to tell you that I have not taken it off since. It’s one of my most favorite posessions, and I can’t wait until Spring rolls around when I stop wearing turtlenecks and 1/2 zip fleeces so that I can actually show it off.
Turquoise Clover Necklace (gold), Jennijewel on Etsy.com $33
I was admiring it in the mirror again this morning, and thinking about how it reminds me of the highly sought-after Van Cleef and Arpels clover. Not only did she make this amazing necklace, she also did some look-alike earrings from Anthropologie that I couldn’t track down.
Take a look at her Etsy store, and find something great for yourself!
Also, you would not believe the price of this adorable piece… $33. That’s it!
Got big plans tonight?
While I am spending the evening making a nice dinner topped off with Red Velvet cupcakes for my three best boys, I do kind of wish I had elegant and romantic dinner plans with the tallest of the lot.
And if I did have elegant and romantic dinner plans, I’d want this elegant and romantic lace-drenched frock from Valentino Red.
Valentino’s signature color “red” reeks of glamour and passion all rolled into one, and his Red Collection isn’t far behind. And the cost of this “less is more” little black dress won’t leave you reeling… that much.
Maybe somone else could put something like this to good use…
