LASERING IN

Dolce Vita Elka Sandals | MSGM Dress | Gap Sandals | Tory Burch Robinson Wallet

After pounding the pavement at Brimfield yesterday (and gearing up for day two today!) heels should probably be the last thing on my mind. Ironically though, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about these Dolce Vita sandals since one of my good friends broke them out while we were in Charleston. That gold heel gets me every time.

My obsession with the Dolce Vita sandals was well underway when I stumbled across these flats from Gap in a similar laser cut style. At under $40 I might buy them in both black and tan and wear them straight through summer!

Then the Gap flats reminded me of Tory Burch’s Robinson Spectator collection which I was crushing on earlier this season (wouldn’t it be the perfect go-with-everything clutch?) and suddenly I was spiraling down a laser cut rabbit hole. I mean, that dress… Can you blame me?

THIS AND THAT: BLUE AND WHITE

Warehouse Placement Print Dress | Plates

Sometimes I wish I were a little more “edgy” with my fashion choices, but then I come across a piece like the Placement Print dress from Warehouse and I fall right back in love with the classics. A sheath in an eye catching blue and white print is just as timeless as my favorite set of Blue Willow china.

If you’re afraid I’ve gone grandma on you, how about pairing it with this Vince leather jacket or maybe these pyramid studded sandals. Classic with a bit of an edge. Problem solved!

PARTY ON

May 8, 2013

Cinco de Mayo may have come and gone, but these vibrant pieces make me want to keep the fiesta going just a little bit longer! First off, have you been to LOFT lately? It’s not one of my regular stops (p.s when did they drop the Ann Taylor from their name?) but when I spotted these shorts in the window I put on the breaks so quickly there should have been a cartoon sound effect.

They’ve obviously re-branded since the last time I visited and there were some real gems! I came home with the shorts, but was also tempted by this rope and rhinestone necklace, pom pom pouch (striped side please), and gladiator sandals. Plus, it was such welcome change to pay less than $100 for a piece of clothing. WHY is everything so expensive these days?!

Moving on from my LOFT discovery, I also wanted to share that Jules Reid is having an AMAZING sale. Like 70% off amazing. I’ve always loved her clothing but admired from afar until yesterday when I discovered the sale of all sales. A Liam skirt in the tiger print I’ve always coveted is now on its way to me. Bam!

Other things I think are awesome and think you’ll enjoy too: this etsy shop, OngoingLoveAffair, which sells some of the most beautiful python clutches I’ve ever seen and these beaded sandals which are just begging to dress up so many of my outfits. Party on, my friends!

SHERIDAN FRENCH

April 25, 2013

If you love color and pattern as much as I do, you probably already have a few Sheridan French pieces on your wish list. Seeing my friend Hanna wearing the Lillian Skirt in her Glitter Guide feature earlier this week has me coveting it even more!

To help you cross those items off your wish lists and get them into your spring wardrobe, the Sheridan French team is offering The Pursuit of Style readers 10% off through Thursday, May 2 with code: YESPLEASE.

In case you need help narrowing it down (which I always do) the Pippa Shorts, Marlowe Pants, and aforementioned Lillian Skirt are my top picks. Happy shopping!

BIRD BRAINED

Let’s play a game called self-justification… I would totally wear this pelican print top all spring, right? It’s one of those pieces that’s going to sell out and I’m going to kick myself for not buying it when I had the chance and think about it forever, right? The whimsical print will just challenge me to think outside the box when styling it, right?

Thanks, that’s exactly what I thought.

P.S Or maybe I should just take advantage of Shopbop’s sale and just buy the tank version in mint?
