Summer Showers

Burberry coat, shorts from Anthropologie, flats from Galeries Lafayette

Went shopping the other day, and we had some light rain.

These pictures were taken before I got my hair cut... now I can't really put it in a long side-braid like that. But I like my hair shorter now, I'll post some pictures soon!

"Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall..."

I love this J. Crew sweater... it's light enough for summer and I love the sea-foam green ombre color. It's a bit over-sized so it's super comfy, and makes me think of clam bakes and New England seaside fun.

Worn with my favorite Juicy Couture cutoffs and Tiffany's gold key necklace.

Happy (Late) Fourth of July!

To all my American readers (do I have any?): Happy Fourth of July!

and to all my British readers: ...I guess your country was sort of involved, too... recipients of the Declaration and all that... so, cheers!

So I know the fourth was a couple of days ago, but yesterday I had a golf tournament so I'm posting today...

In celebration of our nation's birthday (only not exactly, but whatever), I went with my family and some family friends to Whole Foods, where we ate dinner and then went up to the roof to watch the fireworks!

I tried to dress in red, white, and blue (don't we all?)... regular readers might have seen this Juicy Couture top before. I wore it with J Brand shorts, some oversized red sunglasses from Francesca's, and my brand new bag by Loewe, which is this fantastic Spanish brand. The bag is just gorgeous, in this amazing chocolate color, classic design... thanks, Mom!

And I accessorized with my favorite gold anchor necklace from Tiffany's, some vintage gold hoop earrings, my white Toywatch, and my Marc Jacobs Lola solid perfume ring. That thing weighs a hundred pounds.

Hope my fellow Americans enjoyed the holiday!

Fresh Faces

Top by Madewell, tennis skirt by Adidas, Michael Kors flipflops, and Toywatch

Ah, summer! Sunny days are here again. And by that I mean: I need to get a better tan! That's really the only reason I ever go swimming - I treat each trip to the pool like some sort of chore...

To Do List:

-pick up dry cleaning

-buy milk

-sit in sun for 3-4 hours in cute Juicy Couture bathing suit trying to keep the latest W out of the pool water*

*I suppose this is my cue to remind everyone to wear sunscreen to prevent skin cancer and whatnot, but I hold the belief that those warnings really only speak to a fraction of the population and it's rather ethnocentric to disregard evolutionary differences between people and their natural defences against the sun. But, you know, don't go getting skin cancer or anything - for many of us, the safest thing to do is slather on that SPF 50.

Anyway, this is a new skirt that I got for golf... I play a lot of tournaments during the summer. I played one on Monday, have another scheduled for next Monday. (Golf's the reason my tan is so awful in the first place - remind me to show you my insane tan lines later.)

Hope you're having nice weather and enjoying the sun!

P.S.

Anyone notice how hot chunky white watches are right now? Check out my post-Christmas post and you'll see... I basically started that trend. (Hahahaha...)

Tie-Dye Cowgirl

Silk tie-dye shift by Rory Beca, turquoise necklace from Santa Fe, and vintage leather belt

First outfit post of the summer! Many more to come, but these photos were taken on a whim because I happened to like the outfit a lot after throwing it on.

The belt was my dad's, until I stole it a couple months ago, and he wore it throughout the eighties, so it's well-worn. I love the rustic feel of it and I think the yellowy-brown leather goes nicely with the reds and yellows of the dress. The clash between the rough leather and the silk is cool, too.

And maybe you noticed, this is the first time you've seen my face on this blog! I've kept it well-hidden until now, but I thought it was time to reveal my true identity to my faithful readers.

I'm a Big Liar

Yeah, I know. It's been forever... so sorry for that! I was just going crazy with finals, tests, essays, video projects, art projects, and all the other crap teachers like to throw at students at the end of the school year.

Lame excuse?

Okay, sorry for that but it's really all I've got. Thankfully I survived all the tests (am taking one class for credit over the summer but that hardly counts... right?) and now I'm here to post pics and outfits for you that are BETTER THAN EVER.

Why's that?

Because I'm finally revealing my top-super-secret-take-it-to-the-grave identity on DSMG! That's right, you'll all be seeing my gorgeous face in a few hours. That is, if you visit the site. (Don't expect me to show up on your doorstep, darling!)


Stay tuned for my swear-to-god-I'm-not-lying-this-time debut!

Au Revoir, Mes Amies!

Sorry, sorry, sorry that I haven't posted part II of the Vintage Treasures series! I suppose I'm building suspense... haha.
But the real reason that I haven't been able to put up pictures is that I've been so busy preparing for my trip to Paris! I'm leaving tomorrow and I've been SO excited. I can't wait to visit adorable shops like Agnes B., APC, or... Chanel. Of course, shopping in Paris is rather unreasonable, especially compared to prices in America, but I do hope to come back with a few nice pieces to remember the trip by! It will be my second trip to Paris and I'll be sure (I promise) that I'll post pictures and tell you all about it when I return on Sunday!

Of course, I can't speak French at ALL but I hope to have a great trip anyway (perhaps I can get a cute French tutor to help me... haha).

I really must go, but rest assured that I will tell you all about the trip when I get back! Hope you all have a lovely time wherever you are!
