Art :: Where I See Fashion

Well hello there!  I hope you all had a lovely weekend.  Since it looks like this past weekend is going to be my last quiet and relaxing one for quite some time I took full advantage of it by enjoying lazy mornings reading in bed, hitting the farmers market, walking Yoda outside, and visiting some local shops {I'm on the hunt for a new bicycle}.  All in all it was just what I needed.

One of my favorite online sources for inspiration is the Tumblr account Where I See Fashion.  Fashion student Bianca Luini perfectly matches fashion to photography, art, and architecture that share complimentary color palettes, concepts, and structures.  I have rounded up some of my favorite WISF pairings below, enjoy!

My Life :: Instagram Snaps

Happy Friday!  What are you up to this weekend?  I'm thrilled to actually be in town for once and plan on spending some time relaxing outside, blogging, and hanging out with my family who are visiting on Saturday.  If you follow me on Instagram you will know this has been a very, very busy {but fun!} summer.  If not, here are some snaps of what I have been up to lately.  Have a wonderful weekend!

Fashion :: My Favorite Bag

As an anniversary gift, Ryan gave me the Tory Burch Robinson Mini Double Zip Tote, and suffice it to say I am absolutely head over heels {with the bag...and of course Ryan}.  I have been carrying it non-stop and it's by far my favorite bag that I own.  It's large enough to fit my laptop for work meetings yet small enough that it doesn't overwhelm me {and become stuffed with a miscellaneous accoutrement of books, sweaters, makeup, etc.}  It's dressy enough to wear out at night yet casual enough to wear with jeans and flats.  I love the little details like the removable cross-body strap, luggage tag, and the understated Tory Burch logo.  The structured shape and gorgeous saffiano leather have the feel of the Prada Saffiano Lux Double-Zip Tote, but for about 1/5 the price it's much more budget friendly.  Highly recommended!

Interiors :: A Coastal Chic Hamptons Home

In these last few warm weeks of summer I'd love nothing more than to cozy up in Blythe Harris' coastal-chic Hamptons home.  The crisp white palette, exposed beams, nautical accents, and rustic touches all work together to create a perfectly livable space for Blythe, Co-Creator of Stella & Dot, and her family.  Can't you almost smell the ocean breeze?  

Travel :: Charleston, SC

My best friend and I have decided to take a little girls getaway in October.  We will be spending four days in Charleston, SC and other than having our hotel picked out, we have absolutely nothing planned.  So tell me, have you been to Charleston?  If so, do you have any recommendations for places to eat, shop, and see?  We will have a car so I'd love to get away for a few hours and see some beautiful old plantations, moss-draped oak trees, and of course eat tons of fresh seafood.  It's my first time visiting and I'm so excited to visit the city that I have heard nothing but good things about!

Happy Labor Day!

Happy Labor Day!  Whatever you're doing today, I hope you're enjoying the last sliver of summer with the ones you love most.  Cheers!
