Put Your Prints Up, Baby

As fall slowly rolls around the corner, I cannot put a stop to what I would like in my fall wardrobe collection. I once met a girl who was studying fashion design with an emphasis on knits so she could makes awesome print sweaters like these which is TRéS COOL!!! Prints on sweaters are a wonderful way to add quirkiness to a rather plain ensemble.  Plus they are usually funny, cute, or just a bit out of the ordinary. 
1. J. Crew French Hen 
2. Nasty Gal Kissy Face
3. Topshop Horses
4. ModCloth Posy
5. Asos Tres Cool

There are endless possibilities with printed sweaters!

GAP, you've got it right!

It has been a hot second since I have posted unfortunately, but now I am back! 
The other day I was watching tv and a commercial came on and I instantly knew what was going on.  The Avett Brothers were strumming their guitars and my ears perked up. I am a major fan of their music and were excited to see them on national telly.  
You can watch their commercial here
And just in case you dont, here is some wonderful eye candy...

GAP also did a wonderful job on that marketing because I went to their website and looked at what surprisingly lovely things they have in store for fall.

I have been looking season upon season for a nice chambray shirt that isn't too expensive and will go with many different looks.  This oversized shirt is perfect because you can tie it up at the bottom or wear it tunic like.

These slim cropped pants are perfect for fall with a solid smoking slipper. 

Did you know that GAP had the best scarf collection as well?

*BREAKING NEWS*

This just in:

Nordstrom will carry Topshop starting September 10

Why this is good:
1. Topshop and Nordstrom are on the top of my favorite stores list
2. There are 14 Nordstrom stores carrying the British brand which is highly more than the 3 US Topshop stores
3. Where will it stop? Does this pave the way for other high street stores to do the same?  How would you like to visit one department store and shop for Topshop, H&M, Urban Outfitters, and more?  Sounds like a good plan to me :)

via Topshop.com
Why this is bad:
1. The closest Nordstrom to carry Topshop (at this time) is Oakbrook, IL.  The closest Topshop is Chicago, IL.  Basically, for me, I have to go to Chicago to buy Topshop clothing via store anyways.
2. Read #1(basically, there are no really bad problems with this!)

Check out Topshops latest collection, Made in Britain here

And here is a list of the Nordstrom shops that will carry Topshop:
Ala Moana (Honolulu, HI) 
Barton Creek Square (Austin, TX)

To Market We Go

Saturday farmers markets are a really refreshing and rewarding weekend journey.  You feel good knowing that you are buying local and helping small farmers business.  Running into old friends and meeting new wonderful people is also just as exciting.  I sometimes dream of the perfect market experience... riding to market on a green tandem bike with my lovely boyfriend who completely resembles Matthew McConaughey.  Picking up fresh veggies and fruits for our weekend BBQ in which all our wonderful friends come over for a Martha Stewart-esque night complete with gingham bunting and fruity drinks.  
Anyways, here is what I would wear...
1. Tennis Knit AA Top
2. Betsey Johnson Ring
3. Faded Pleat Anthro Skirt
4. Sunday Market Tote 
5. Mia Braided Quarter Strap Shoes

What is your perfect Saturday market outfit?

If you like what you see, join my blog :) When I get 50 people a special giveaway will take place!

Wish List: Anthropologie Edition

The other day I got a letter in the mail... from Anthropologie! Inside was a cute little bracelet and a card with 15% off the month of July because its my birthday month.  It has been about a week since I got the letter but have been searching the website like crazy, waiting for July 1st to come.  It's always really exciting to check out their window displays and even house ware.  Lately I've been loving the mixing of prints for tops and bottoms.  Anthro is a great place to find unique prints.  This Voluspa candle is my favorite and once I have one it is always burning! 
1. Voluspa Candle
2. Pannier Bag
3. Donkey Silk Shift
4. Pyxis Necklace
5. Back Story Blouse
6. Zelie Sandal
7. Drum Major Short

Whats on your Anthro wish list?

It's almost here!!! The best holiday of the year!

And yes, I am talking about July 4th.  Not only is it a time for colorful fireworks, tasty BBQs, and warm lake days... but it is also so very close to my birthday! 
Some might think it is cliche, but let your patriotic colors fly on your clothes this year.  Why not? Fashion is all about fun and this season is filled with wonderful outfits whether they channel the flirty 50s or 90s grunge.
