style file: summer dresses

Though my wardrobe tends to consist mostly of pieces in white, black or gray, I think I'm ready to bust out of my lack-of-color-rut.

And am happy to do so with any of these...

spotlight: apple & bee

A delightful little shop from Down Under, Apple & Bee makes cosmetic, travel and baby bags using only eco-friendly materials.

I especially love the summer jute A&B Eco Tote with the company's signature message...

(Totes, pencil cases, coin purses, and stuff for the kids all available here.)

I just spent WAY too much time looking through the Totokaelo look book.

I'm lovin' the casual vibe - easy layers, neutral colors, ankle pants - skinny and wide - and uh-mazing shoes.

A few of my favorite looks...

The change in seasons leaves me wanting to change my entire wardrobe. Am I the only one?

living inspiration: chic trio

I want to dress like them...



Each outfit is perfection.
And I can't stop staring at those pink shoes.
