The Grid: Sunshine

My tumblr is pretty much an explosion of color lately. I blame the beautiful views from Colorado and Turks and Caicos (where I am currently typing this with a slight sunburn, reposting things to tumblr).  Follow me, yea?

Diane Kruger Gets It. It's Monday. Pajama Dressing.

This Whimsical and Happy Outfit Will Be Useful To Nobody, Unless You are In Turks and Caicos or Somewhere Equally Fanastic.

The reality is that I am not anywhere remotely close to Turks and Caicos, but if I was there I'd like to think I'd be in such a celebratory mood to wear a fine knit sweater like Meadham Kirchhoff's lamb short-sleeve one near the sand and water. I probably wont, you know, it's too hot. But let's stay there in that happy dream where we live like an editorial and wear expensive items where we shouldn't. Where we wear clean blue knits with whimsical frolicking lamb embellishments and pair them with plantation print bikinis by Jets by Jessika Allen. The print reminds me of Altuzarra. Which I love and am obsessed with. The Gucci sandals are suede, so be a grown up and take care of those because they are beautiful. The Miu Miu glasses just plain fun. We will ask ourselves why we didn't bring the glittered ones instead of the fun tortoise shell sunglasses, and just spend entire minutes pondering this life decision. Because you can. Because you're on the beach.

Fantastic Things, Inspiration, Etc. — Feb. 9, 2012

The two "it" colors, both pastel, polar opposites. Girly pink and it's punchy minty lime counterpart. It seems to be everywhere lately, and it's quite lovely. The Byredo perfume was a recent purchase because I realized I couldn't live without La Tulipe's happy floral smell. I'll have to do a post one day about the amount of floral perfumes I have. They're all gorgeous.

There's something really exciting about minimalism that has built in pep. The idea that picking two colors and the same metal jewelry can make an outfit that is both super crisp and very optimistic. There's a theme recently! Perhaps a side effects of spring 2012's pastel trend is a healthy dose of positivity. Not bad.

I have a thing for cat eye sunglasses and opticals so I am literally obsessed with any fine crafted optical like Cutler and Gross' cat eye. It goes with my face, and it's sassy. Which I like. The candy-colored mint top is by Acne, and it drapes into an Elizabeth & James meshy, green pencil skirt. Classic shape, modern texture. Love that.

Finish it off with the super clean Acne Stella bag in black, my everlasting love for Eddie Borgo's single stud earrings and the punk-inspired cone bracelet. A classic sandal shape with a chunky heel by Ralph Lauren keeps this look clean. Who knows, maybe you can even paint your nails neon green and have them peek through. Go crazy, remember, you're a positive person now!
