Why Don't You...?

…put on a pretty frock, let down your hair, and be one with nature? Dance through a field of daisies; pirouette through a patch of petunias; twirl through a pasture laden with tulips. Now is the time to set yourself free, my loves!

…wear Kiki de Montparnasse Nuit Lace Gloves with everything? Allocate them as your signature accessory.

…spend the afternoon surrounded by never-ending sweets, and the latest issue of Cosmopolitan? Face it darlings, there is nothing so satisfying as a sugar rush coupled with a little scandal!

…make the world your catwalk? Strut down the sidewalk in your Sergio Rossi Definition Cutout Stiletto Sandals. Allow a pretty pout to play upon your lips while parading through the park in your Parker Cami Dress. Strike a pose in your LaROK Summer Love Romper while sashaying through the stuffy corridors of your workplace. Remember kitty cats…life is a runway.

…leave your pretty pendants at home and replace them with a whimsical bubble necklace? Blow bubbles at everyone you meet!


Fashionably yours!

  10. Oh, these Sergio Rossi sandals are adorable. Just thinking of them makes me feel elegant. Great find, Erika!

  11. ohhh so cute! I love the sergio sandals in your prev post. I wouldn't spend $600 on a pair of shoes just to get mud of them!

  12. I love to dance in a field of flowers. The Cosmo thing made me laugh.

    Have a great day Erika! xoxo

  13. I would love to do ALL these things! If only exams weren't taking over my life :( sigh.

    And Erika, I can't believe you haven't yet seen the september issue! It wasn't a great movie, actually, but it did confirm my suspicions that Ms Wintour is not top of my "role model" list. To be quite frank, I think her hairstyle is completely outdated, she doesn't dress very well (always in the same type of dress!), she's far too skinny, and she doesn't seem like a very nice person at ALL! Now, go watch it and tell me your opinion :)

    The bubble necklace idea is so cute. I remember being quite a nuisance to my family as a child when it came to bubbles. haha

  17. I know, these are great. They almost give me the strength to will myself out of my office and into some lovely field or, better yet, Baker Beach. :) It's not that far away--I could be there in 20 minutes! haha. Happy mid-week, Erika!!
